Commentary;
This seems like another blantantly obvious Pallywood production, not even worthy of back-page coverage other than for comic relief. Once again, we find the Arabs, the Islamics rendering kids expendable for bogus international liberal agendized MSM brownie points.

What in the heck are kid terrorists doing playing in a war-zone, with weapons — even toy weapons of war, except by Pallywood design? And why is Israeli MSM so willingly complicit?

We learn about the root for the momentus event of Pinchas’ zealous act against Zimri and Kosbi from an obscure posuk in Parsha Ki Tisa. “Vet Aaron v’et banav timshach v’kiddashtah otam l’Cohen Li” — Hashem tells Moshe Rabbeinu; “You shall annoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them as priests unto me.” And we ask, What happened to that Pinchas ben Elazar ben Aaron Ha Kohen.
We actually learn about Pinchas and his zealousness on behalf of Shemayim near the end of last week’s Parsha Balak.
“Israeli journalists view…. their task as making sure that the public reaches the proper conclusions. That is particularly true of those in public broadcasting, which holds a near monopoly over the air waves – a power of which the broadcasters are acutely aware.”
