Because they have nothing to justify their acts of terrorism and killings with and therefore have to stage fake events to make the world believe that they are 'poor little palestinian stone throwers being killed by Israeli's'!! The fact is, they are malicious people and will do anything to make the world believe that they are right. The reason why they make the children fight is so that when they get killed, they can say, "Look! Israel kills children! The world is too blind to realize who are the real terrorists and therefor blame it on Israel! We live in a sick world where propaganda rules the news and where people get brainwashed into believing what they see! But it does not matter, one day soon, people will realize the truth-whether it is because they get some sense knocked into them or because they will realize that the palestinians aren't only after Israel and the Jews, but rather after the rest of the world too!

Propaganda in war is an age old thing: we are all at it and always have been. Propaganda was often used to influence opinion and beliefs on religious issues, particularly during the split between the Catholic Church and the Reformers.
Propaganda has become more common in political contexts, in particular to refer to certain efforts sponsored by governments, political groups, but also often covert interests. Ever seen the recruitment posters from World War 1 created by the British Govenment? http://www.firstworldwar.com/posters/index.htm By the way, the 'Cannon fodder' recruited in WW1 could definitely not be considered 'adult.' You also get children fighting in Uganda, Sudan, Liberia etc. No, it's not right but where is the press coverage about them? Ever hear of the film director Leni Riefenstahl? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3093574.stm
What goes on today is the same thing, it's just played out in a different media. It's how you 'read' the media you are presented with and understand any possible bias it contains in its construction that is important.
Do I agree with the Palestinian tactics? No, but when you have a press that is sympathetic to 'the other side' it is inevitable that such media techniques are going to be exploited. Would it have been better that the person was shot? That there were some Israeli troups slaughtered inside the factory building? I hope your answer would be no!
Remember: the video you/ I watched was a construction in itself; now let me think... who would have produced something like that and paid good money to have it aired and in what nations was it shown? You see, we are all part of it, even if we don't want to be!

Israel and the US have been selling lies about the Palestinians to justify throwing them off their land. Palestinians do not stage events. They do not "use their children" to fight. Israel gets weapons and arms and support from the US, but the Palestinians feel desperate so some young boys throw rocks at the giant Israeli tanks. Next time please don't state something so false unless you are positive you are correct. Don't rely on just one source. If you want you can check out "The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs" which is a monthly magazine on the Middle East. Or you can read "The Gun and the Olive Branch" or "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by Ilan Pape. Those are the three best sources I can offer you.

They are not fake events, they use children to fight so they can tell the world look what Israel is doing to our children and they can put videos on you-tube. When they love their children more then they hate, this would not happen,
They also use their children because if they couldn't show videos of children getting hurt the world would not even care about them. SIck very sick

This is a popular terrorist tactic used by terrorist groups to spread widespread fear. This is their ultimate goal. It doesn't matter what nationality or culture. The rules of terrorism transcend borders.

Israeli Mossad agents also do that.
In fact I read it on the Gush Shalom website.
