So Blog Baladi linked to a youtube video showing a small girl in Bab el Tebaneh shooting on Jabal Mohsen and titled the post: Tfeh...
Tfeh means "I spit on you"... Well, as you shall see below, "tfeh, 3layna" is more appropriate - "I spit on us".

I am in no way defending this horrible act... But perhaps if we go back to the archives, we would find it is a "logical" (Illogical?) continuation of everything that was done in the past. The photos below clearly show that children were part of our famous war. Unfortunately, since the photos were not gathered for 'scientific purposes" I do not have their internet links or their appropriate sources. But still they were taken from archival material and sadly they are real. I also tried to show that the practice was rampant among ALL sides of the belligerents.

Great post. I've often had to make similar arguments when the Islamophobic argument that Christians don't use child soldiers is used.
But remember Habib, it is always someone else's fault... Hey, even the whole war was labelled by late Ghassan Tueini as "7arb al akharin 3ala ardina" (other people's war on our soil).... No one ever accepted responsibility, it is always someone else who did - the "others" (and yes, those claiming to be "Phoenicians" not Arabs never did a bad thing in their logic).
