Zionists Force Children to Pose with Weapons and Take their Pictures for Propaganda
These pictures of Palestinian children holding guns or flags with swastikas on them end up being up loaded to sites like Indymedia to prove how "evil" Palestinians are. Unknown to most people, many of these pictures are staged by armed Israelis using Palestinians at gunpoint for propaganda purposes.
Romal al-Sweiti for Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
27 December 2002
Occupation soldiers in Nablus City yesterday committed a racist crime against a child, who carries US nationality, forcing him to sit on the floor and to tie a headband carrying the insignia of 'Al-Aqsa Brigades' in order to take pictures of him.
The mother of the 14-year old child , named Ahmad Abdel Haq, from the Al-Jabal Al-Shamali area in Nablus said that occupation soldiers raided their home after blowing up the front door when her son was alone . The soldiers then started destroying the house and all their belongings before discovering the Ahmad.
They then started beating him up brutally, despite his pleas and attempts to explain to them that he has an American passport with the number '701372809' and that he was born in California, USA.
She said that one of the occupation captains forced her son to sit down and placed behind him a Palestinian flag and two M-16 machineguns as well as a number of hand grenades and a gun on the table in front of him and then gave him a piece of paper and another M-16 machinegun and forced him to read a suicide bomber's will.
After this was finished, he was forced to act as if he was praying on the floor. The mother said that the soldiers placed their machineguns to her son's head threatening to kill him if he told any media channels what happened to him, and then they threw him on the stairs, which resulted in head injuries.
The mother added that all this was photographed with a still camera. She said that she informed the American consulate of the incident which she described as "racist", and expressed fear that these photographs may be used against her son or against the Palestinian people in general.
Folowing the attack Ahmad has been suffering from a state of hysteria and will need psychiatric treatment.

Yes of course, this could be an entirely Israeli "staged" event, the Israelis bringing "props" with them. But also possible the kid was found in the house with these things and the reason he's just photographed with them and not shot is BECAUSE he had an American passport. YOU CANNOT TELL WHICH BY THIS ARTICLE.
