"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Rather than attempt to adress the issues of children being used as soldiers by the PA and other terrorist organizatoins Palestinian union of journalists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has just decided it would be easier to ban the filming of armed children and masked militants at rallies.

"It is completely forbidden to film or photograph children carrying weapons because this represents a flagrant violation of the rights of children and these pictures reflect negatively on the image of Palestine in the international media," the PJS said in a statement faxed to news agencies and newspapers.

"Any Palestinian journalist who will film or photograph armed children in paramilitary conditions or take pictures of masked men would face union procedures and official accountability, knowing that the act serves Israel and its anti-Palestinian media campaign against our just cause."
