1. Propaganda always focuses on the kiddies as though
nobody else in a war has a problem. It's always shrieking about the babies. It's one way you learn to dismiss something immediately.

Oh, I'm not saying that it's not happening. It undoubtedly is.

Using children to catapult a story is the oldest trick in the book as far as war propaganda goes, though. After the fighting stops, most of the stories are found to have serious errors in them, at the very least.

What's really awful is pretending the life of a child is more important than anyone else's. Children carry the promise of the future with them, but adults carry the functioning of the present and elderly folks carry the wisdom of the past. All deaths are equally sad.

This war is a truly hideous example of overkill. It needs to stop because all lives are equally precious. Even bad examples are contributing.

Pictures of dead babies never stopped a war. They just help set up the next one.

2. Pox on your views.
It's hardly a war, I believe wars tend to have armies on both sides. These children are being targeted murdered by Israel and it's an absolute disgrace.
500 dead already and one Israeli soldier. Children being used, Oh' i get it, it's their fault for being Palestinian, in the way and having nowhere to hide? what an odd and utterly despicable view.

3. Honey, you need to read posts and understand them
before you pop off like that.

Your own post is far from appropriate.

4. Your post was calous and inappropriate
Sorry sweetie, but I (and most) find the indiscriminate bombing of children inexcusable.

5. Not to anyone who actually READ it.
I suggest you do so before you make an even bigger mug of yourself.

8. I agree
babies can not flee. :cry:




There is mounting concern among world leaders about the humanitarian impact of Israel's massive offensive on the Gaza Strip.

9. What part did you find so offensive?
The part where every life is precious?

Or the part where every war focuses only on the children?

Seriously, this is the second time I've gotten flamed and I'd love to know what flamers are thinking.
