And, of course UNRWA and the Palestinian authorities have done so much to advance the cause of child welfare in the region.
Ie..
teaching children the merits of genocide from an early age in their UN funded schools.

Using schools to launch rocket attacks at Israeli civilian areas (where children live and play) in order to deliberately draw IDF fire so that the world can express its horror and outrage at the evil Zionist apartheid nazi regime.

Teaching Palestinian kids a new variation on ‘kite flying’

Etc..
I haven’t posted any links to news articles but there are plenty out there that tell the other side of the story.

 

Have you ever been to Palestine Timon?

You should mate, it's an eye opener.  I first went to Israel aged around seventeen as I had a Jewish lass.  At the time the most mental things I saw were Orthodox Jews torching advertising billboards that had the temerity to post pictures up of scantily clad women.  In more recent times, I've been over to run a marathon for MAP.  Like anyone else, I have my reasons to feel the way I do. You seem like a good bloke, find out for yourself what's going on.

Just tell the IDF that you're there to visit the birthplace of Christ, and you're golden.

This makes interesting reading. Particularly the accounts from the Palestinians themselves.

Like you, Mark, I also hate to see innocent people suffer.

You can’t blame everything on Israel. (And expect to be taken seriously)

Shalom.

I don’t love or condone everything Israel does, but I certainly believe in the right for Jewish people to have their own homeland where they belong. They have suffered a lot more throughout history than the Arabs have. The Arabs have plenty of land, why aren’t they helping the Palestinians.

Being Palestinian in the ME must be crap, but not as tough as it is for Christians.

Aye, religious persecution is rife everywhere.

I only mentioned the IDF as that's what I did to get access to the occupied territory.
