9. Blast from the past...
Whatever happened to this kid:

'Little bomber' fascinates Israeli media

The case of a 14-year-old Palestinian boy captured wearing a vest packed with explosives at a West Bank checkpoint makes the headlines in Israel's media and prompts condemnation of the people who sent him out to die.

Viewers saw footage of what Israeli television called a "mentally challenged" boy stopped at a checkpoint south of Nablus.

The boy, Husam Abdu, was shown standing at a distance from the Israeli soldiers whilst he was instructed in Hebrew how to remove the vest.

BBC

Needless to say that IF Israel thinks Syria and Iran are to blame, maybe they should be bombing those countries instead of Lebanon -- it's not like Israel is going to lose or anything, the US will jump in if the battle goes bad...hopefully.
