I looked and looked and could not find one instance of Palestinians giving medical aid to victims of Hamas Terrorist Bombings... Strange that... Semper
As you have your finger on the pulse of anything and everything ever said or done in Israel - Is there a reliable source for your claim of thousands of children being kept in Israeli military camps? Is there one for the claim of soldiers interfering with children? Is there a story of an Israeli family killing their child for contact or even collaboration with an Israeli? Is there any civilized society on earth that condones the murder of a child for any reason? M

"A soldier pointed his rifle at me. The rifle barrel was a few centimetres away from my face. I was so terrified that I started to shiver. He made fun of me and said: 'Shivering? Tell me where the pistol is before I shoot you.'" - Ezzat, 10 years old
Israel's systematic ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children
Each year, approximately 700 Palestinian children (under 18) from the West Bank are prosecuted through Israeli military courts after being arrested, interrogated and detained by the Israeli army.
Since 2000, around 6,500 Palestinian children have been detained, says a new report titled Palestinian Child Prisoners. From the moment of arrest, Palestinian children encounter ill-treatment and in some cases torture, at the hands of Israeli soldiers, policemen and interrogators.
Children are commonly arrested from the family home in the hours before dawn by heavily armed soldiers. The child is painfully bound, blindfolded and bundled into the back of a military vehicle without any indication as to why or where the child is being taken.
Children are commonly mistreated during the transfer process and arrive at the interrogation and detention centres traumatised, tired and alone. During interrogation, children as young as 12 years are denied access to a lawyer and visits from their families. These children will generally not be permitted to see a lawyer until after they have provided a confession to the interrogator.

I'm not certain, but isn't 15 considered an adult over their? He may have been only a kid to us, but maybe to them he was an adult.
While UN organizations save child-soldiers, especially in Africa, from the control of militia leaders who hurl them into the furnace of gang-fighting, some Palestinian leaders… consciously issue orders with the purpose of ending their childhood, even if it means their last breath.
while there are reports of children participating in hostilities, there is no evidence of systematic recruitment by armed groups [in the Occupied Territories]", with less than 1% of Palestinian adolescents having played an active role in clashes with Israeli troops.

Stop being obtuse, that's dumb.
1. The Palestinians act like animals and kill their own young and you blame the Israelis. Dumb or nefarious?
2. Videos of Palestinians using children for human shields, you blame the Israelis. Dumb or agenda?
3. The Palestinians engage in terrorist act after cowardly terrorist act, hiding in civilian populations and anonymously lobbing rockets, and you blame the Israelis. Dumb or obtuse?

Very tragic, here is some follow-up information from the Jerusalem Post:
Relatives of boy slain as 'collaborator' seek death penalty for family members who killed him
Relatives of the 15-year-old Palestinian boy who was murdered by members of his family last week on suspicion of "collaboration" with Israel have called on the Palestinian Authority to impose the death penalty on the culprits.
The boy, Raed Sawalha, from the village of Hijjah in the Kalkilya district, was brutally tortured before being hanged. His body was discovered on Wednesday in a warehouse belonging to his family.
His father, Wael, had locked him inside the warehouse after villagers claimed that they had seen the boy "chatting" with a Border Police soldier.
The father told police that he only sought to "discipline" his son and did not know that other members of the family, including his own brother, would assault him and kill him.
There is also a photograph of a Palestinian "collaborator"'s lifeless body being beaten and kicked in the streets, while people stand around videoing it on their phones.
Another photo shows Islamic Jihad gunman dragging a suspected collaborator, hooded and handcuffed, through the streets.
Those of you demanding a separate Palestinian state: These are the people you want to give power over Palestinians to. I hope you'll be happy.
Anything less would make them like dogs.
There are no videos of Palestinians using their children as human shields
Can you imagine that, shelling their own people to make Israel look bad.
it would be pathetic.
They are not terrorists
1. Why that's just racial abuse. Palestinians are human beings and they behave in the same way as people do when under occupation and oppression.
The good thing is that they exemplify the virtue of bravery when the resist
2. There are no videos of Palestinians using their children as human shields, just a whole load of heavily edited youtube vids from Israeli apologists. Nothing from NGOs, UN, news agencies or human rights groups.
Can you imagine that, shelling their own people to make Israel look bad. If it was not so horrifying a lie it would be pathetic.
3. Everywhere is near civilians in Gaza, Hamas is a popular resistance to Israeli occupation. They are not terrorists but the elected representatives of the Palestinian people.
Formed in late 1987 as an outgrowth of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. Various HAMAS elements have used both political and violent means, including terrorism, to pursue the goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in place of Israel. Loosely structured, with some elements working clandestinely and others working openly through mosques and social service institutions to recruit members, raise money, organize activities, and distribute propaganda. HAMAS's strength is concentrated in the Gaza Strip and a few areas of the West Bank. Also has engaged in peaceful political activity, such as running candidates in West Bank Chamber of Commerce elections.LINK
HAMAS activists, especially those in the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks--including large-scale suicide bombings--against Israeli civilian and military targets, suspected Palestinian collaborators, and Fatah rivalsLINK
Colonialists and invaders often call the resistance terrorists; apartheid South Africa called Nelson Mandela and the ANC terrorists. The Nazis called the European resistance and Partizans terrorists, the British called the Kenyan Mau Mau terrorists.
You see, when Israel and her apologists throw around false allegations it really is sublimation. They do appalling things and their minds cannot abide by it so they distort the truth.
Counter to this is their admitted mass importation and smuggling of missiles with increasing sophistication and range. These are launched at Israel with no consideration as to military or public targets.
