Life is cheap, Palestinian women killing themselves because they cheated on their husbands or dishonored their family is I guess an easy way out. They probably will be killed by their own family anyway (honor killing).

The same idea applies to the kids that the various terror arms recruit. Having been a witness to a kid come up to us at a check point, most of the kids that have been sent are a bit "slower" than their peers, their family is lower down in the social ladder, or they themselves are teased and want to make up for it.
Sir, welcome, and Thank You for your Bravery, and Service.

How sad it is to hear of such stories, of children falling prey to this behavior.
