On Monday, Israeli President Shimon Peres told schoolchildren at Kibbutz Cabri, in northern Israel, that, unlike Hamas, Israel protects its children and does not send them in front of its military forces:

In the media they say that more children are killed on the Palestinian side, and that children are not killed on ours.

And I say this is right. We know how to give security to our children, defend the children, not use them as human shields and not send them out in front of us.

The question isn't only a question of price; we are up against an organization that has no rules, has no laws, and is impossible to trust - an organization which uses children as shields.

Ah, political rhetoric at an early age. Perfect for schoolchildren. One moment i'm glad I live here and not there.
