These two photos above tell us alot. The top picture, taken by the Associated Press, shows Israeli children proudly writing notes on tank shells that are being fired into Lebanon. War is made into a game. Over 300 civilians are now dead in Lebanon since Israel began its bombardment.
The bottom photo is what happens on the other end of exploding bombs. A Palestinian child is dead, more than 100 civilians have been killed since Isreal has reentered Gaza.
People can talk all they want to about terror, but war is terrorism. And in modern times it is civilians, on all sides, that end up paying the price.
There is no excuse for this kind of shock and awe attack by Israel today on Gaza and Lebanon.
This war of indiscriminate killing must stop.
The U.S. has vetoed a U.N. resolution, sponsored by France, that called for a ceasefire in Lebanon. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has introduced a ceasefire resolution in the U.S. Congress but his own Democratic party won't support it.
This cycle of war and chaotic violence must end. The militarists are destroying humankind. They are the real enemy of the people.
