I stumbled across this (http://thismodernworld.com/3005) quite by accident. Thought I'd share.

Emily Litella speaks out on the situation in the middle east
Your heart just has to break to see these Shiite children in Lebanon smiling and writing “messages” on the rockets that soon will devastate Israeli homes. What kind of sick society produces little girls who exult in the infliction of pain against people they’ve never met?

And look at the woman in the background, presumably their mother—clearly she approves! Sadly, until the Arabs let go of their culture of incitement and rage, I’m afraid there’s no concession Israel can ever make that will bring peace with these people.

What’s that?
Those aren’t Lebanese girls writing on Hezbollah rockets, but Israeli girls writing on Israeli shells?
Oh.
Never mind.

I'd popped over to Tom's website 'cause I needed a laugh, but I didn't get it. Instead I got a headful of wholehearted disgust. The images came from another site, which I won't link to here as that other site features some gory photos, but did prominently feature a rather ironic quoted statement from none other than Golda Meir:
"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."
It's hard to see how having your children scrawling on bombs helps matters in any way, shape or form - unless you're trying very hard to inculcate, in members of the coming generations, a dramatic desensitization to the deaths, the maimings, and the wholesale shattering of human lives - never mind the politics, the ethnicity, the brand of religious adherence - this is utterly contemptible on the part of whatever authorities were involved in permitting this international disgrace.
Judging by the photos, the average Arab certainly won't be loving the children of the Israelis anytime soon. Or their parents, either. Go figure, Golda. Anyway, I much prefer this statement from the Vietnam protest era anyway:
"War is harmful for children and other living things."
And in my opinion, the photos above are the least objectionable evidence to support that statement.
Peace out.
