What could possibly be more natural than teenagers with bombs?

At least that is the case in Israel. The tally since Sunday for Palestinian children arrested for carrying bombs is 2 according to this Jerusalem Post article. Not one of them was older that 15. The running tally since the beginning of the year has the IDF arresting 52 minors for carrying bombs. If the UN functioned in the real world there would be an outcry against terrorist groups exploiting children for their own nefarious ends. If Palestinian Authority Chairman was truly concerned with the welfare of ordinary Palestinians he would be actively hunting down groups that used children as a weapons delivery system. But instead, because it is the Palestinians and their foe is Israel, the silence is positively deafening.
