PALI KIDS WANT GUNS FOR EID

Guns Are the Preferred Toy for Many Palestinian Children on Muslim Holiday - Amin Abu Wardeh (Palestine News Network-PA)
On the Muslim holiday of Eid Al Adha, that began on Saturday, children rush to the shops to purchase the gun they have had picked out for months. Omar from Nablus chose a plastic M16; his sister chose the same. Mohammed chose a Kalashnikov, designed to resemble the real thing. Yousef Assawalhi, a student at Nablus' An Najah University, said every young child carries a plastic weapon on the first day of Eid.
