Israeli children are being allowed to write “messages” on missiles dropped on Lebanon. The following photographs were snapped by AFP photographer Pedro Ugarte a few days ago on the border between the two countries shortly before the weapons were used. More than 300 civilians (less than 20 of whom are Israeli civillians) have died in the ongoing conflict and between 600 and 1,000 Lebanese civilians have been wounded by Israel’s illegal military action.
I want to sign my own bomb! Come on, Mommy, let’s go down to the local base! Plese!
And this is what is called generational hate…passed down from one generation to the next. Taught to the young by adults so bitter and hateful that rather than wanting something better for their children they teach them to hate and to disreguard the lives of the “enemy”. To see them as less than human. Until this kind of generational hate is ended there will always be wars of hate and genocide in this world.
