Find those who, for good money, will be your "protesters." Seek them from among your poor, your farmers, and have them march on your enemy's border. Make sure you pick a spot along the border you know is laced with landmines, although you do not need to tell them that. And, should the landmines not get them, the enemy's gunfire will await them.
Tell them, their children are welcome. Bring along at least a few.
This plot played out Sunday, on the Syrian-Israeli border. The Syrian government says 27 of the protesters were killed by the Israelis. And 350 injured.
Imagine, soldiers opening fire on unarmed protesters, killing so many, including one 10-year-old boy. That is the image organizers hoped would come, and, to some extent, it did. But, many world observers saw through the false image, and saw what really happened, saw that innocent folks had been recruited to cross an enemy's border, at risk of life. It was the rebels in Syria, fighting in a separate conflict, who charged that Syria paid $1000 for recruits -- and $10,000 to the families of those killed.
The recruitment of death, then.
I do not know for sure if the Syrian rebels told the truth in how the protesters were recruited. But, yes, I believe them.
Other protest efforts took place at other Israel border spots the same day. Perhaps those protesters protested from their heart -- I do not know -- but I believe those at the Syrian border, at the border of Golan Heights, were recruited with the hopes they would be killed. It was as if someone called out to them, "Money for your death, my child."
The recruitment of death. This is where the world's outrage should go.
