“… teenage children who are sent to carry out difficult and dangerous assignments put on their young shoulders by the nation’s leaders …”
Such a fine line between patriotism and child abuse.

.” I do know that the occupation drafts teenagers on both sides into a war”
And just to even things out, the Israelis get a complete military, and the Palestinians get- stones. That’s some war, Rabbi Hannah.

Shame on J Street. Liberal Zionists will only go so far and then they just hit a wall.

[Ben-Ami: On the one hand, we truly honor and respect the individual men and women – teenagers and young adults really – who day-in and day-out serve their country dutifully in the Israel Defense Forces.]
The victim is Musab al-Tamimi from Dayr Nizam, ajacent to Nabi Saleh. Family of Ahed. Killed on the 3rd, shot in the head from a few meters distance, just like the little boy Muhammad. Musab was warned the day before by his heroic killers that this was going to happen. They took pictures of him as to be able to identify him.
And you know what? We described piles of these cases. These are no incidents, this IS the Israeli army, in full bloom.
Shame on Ben-Ami. Shame on J Street.
BTW Phil et al: The family name is Al-Tamimi, not just Tamimi.

“It was challenging to sit in the living room of a person [Bassem Tamimi] who had been involved in violent uprisings before embracing a new strategy of resistance.”
Ya – it must have been much less challenging for the Tamimi’s to sit across from their zionist oppressors that have exacted enormous violence on them and their compatriots.
“A person who makes videos that promote a kind of anti-Zionism that can so easily cross over into anti-Semitism and make the world a more dangerous place for Jews.”
Zionists make the world less safe for Jews and last I checked are becoming supremely antisemitic – just ask JVPs members.
“It was difficult to imagine encouraging one’s children to throw stones at soldiers. And it was disturbing to watch the Israeli military respond with tear gas and violent arrests.”
Its always the Israelis responding to Palestinian aggression – never freedom fighters resisting their oppressors – whether children are throwing stones or playing soccer on the beach they are targeted by the most moral army in the world.
J – Street is full of shit as is Americans for Zionism Now. Bigots – just the gentler friendlier kind

Yeah, they’re real heroes. And they’re pretty good at drawing, too. Here’s their latest effort – we just did a piece on it (sorry, in Dutch):
