The Daily Background

Editor and Publisher has an article about the Israeli-girls-signing-bombs-to-be-dropped-on-Lebanon story, and quotes Tribune Media Services editor Roberty Koehler as writing in a column this week:

“Maybe the bombs that destroyed the home of the 8-year-old girl in the southern Lebanon village of Ayta Chaeb, quoted by an AP reporter from her hospital bed in Tyre, were autographed by little Israeli girls,” he wrote. “Maybe they were decorated with hearts and Stars of David. Maybe they said ‘from Israel with love.’”

Koehler called this added “collateral damage: the corruption, the militarization, of the young….This is the collective obscenity of militarized hatred. It’s not just a game that adults play. We pull the children into it. We extract their blessing, and far too often their blood as well….

I originally posted several pictures of the incident here.
