What these monsters are doing to their children is an abomination in the face of God.

At least 15 Palestinians have been killed and scores injured in a blast during a parade by the militant Hamas group in the Gaza Strip.
A truck carrying gunmen and home-made weapons blew up during the rally in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza.
Israel has denied involvement, while the ruling Palestinian Fatah faction said it held Hamas responsible.
It is the deadliest incident in Gaza since Israel pulled its troops and settlers out earlier this month.
Hours earlier, Palestinians fired rockets into Israel from Gaza after Israel killed three militants in a raid in the West Bank town of Tulkarm.
The rockets did not cause any casualties.
People in pieces
Palestinian witnesses said a crowd, including many children, swarmed round the truck moments before the explosion.
Video filmed during the rally showed a large cloud of white smoke rising into the sky, as hundreds of people ran from the scene of the blast.
The pictures also showed several badly injured bodies on the ground.
An unnamed witness was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying "I was thrown several metres, then I looked behind and I saw people dismembered and lying on the ground dead."
The Associated Press news agency quoted another man, who gave his name as Hussam, as saying he helped pull three men out of the truck, two dead and one alive but with a severed leg.
Hamas accused Israel of causing the blast and vowed revenge.
However Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction said it held Hamas "fully responsible for the victims of the military parade [that was held] among civilians".
Israel has denied any involvement in the blast.
Earlier, Islamic jihad militants fired a volley of rockets into Israel in what they said was retaliation after Israel killed three militants in Tulkarm.
Israel said the militants were killed after opening fire on troops who were trying to arrest them.
The BBC's James Reynolds in Jerusalem says the latest incidents are a sign of high tension in the Gaza Strip even after the Israeli withdrawal.
Sounds like a case of premature jihadulation :-)
Not funny at all. Lugging your kid to a "lets kill" party isn't funny either.
OK. That was funny.
Hi Mar. Good to see ya, especially on a dead terrorist thread. Unfortunately, I'm heading out in a few minutes.
LOL......I wish we had more of the same.
Nothing has changed.
Kiss....Kiss...have a wonderful weekend......
Back in the old days, the solution would have been to exterminate every man, woman, and child. I guess that was a fairly cetain way to stop the cycle of adults teaching their kids to become monsters.
Thanks! You too. Keep up the awesome work you do! :o)
LOL! You owe me a new keyboard AND monitor!
Its funny, right and anything but tragic.
The culture of death got exactly what it deserved...
Or should I say a portion of what it deserved? Frankly I wish a MOAB would detonate on one of these parades...
Screw the blood thirsty Palestinian dogs...
You know what would have been really funny...if the explosion had started a chain reaction of jihadi suicide bombers in their bomb vests blowing up all the way through the town.
YeeeHaaa!...Death to every Hamas leader and follower...all of them...dead...road kill flat dead...
Scum bags...
You're right. As the mother of a five year old son, I'm not offended.
Schadenfreude
What these monsters are doing to their children is an abomination in the face of God.
Notice how the BBC had to put in there twice that Israel denies involvement? Israel denies it but the BBC is going to imply that they did.
