Reply #101: I can see where this is exceptionally disturbing... [View All]

those of us that have served in the military know that children are "off limits". To add children to the equation defies everything the American servicemember stands for. It is horrid that anyone has to die or be maimed in war, but when you have children involved in either the receiving end, or the delivering end, a new dimension is involved.

To me, it makes little difference if these are Israeli, Palestinian, Muslim, Jewish, Christian or any other "group" of children; to see the horror inflicted upon the innocent is is always disturbing.

What this picture does, is show us that the hatred will continue for many years to come. I can be pretty sure that Palestinian children are doing much the same thing, perhaps in a different scene, but once again, it is the continuation of the hatred that adds to the disturbing aspect of this act.

We should all be aiding in whatever way we can to alleviate the suffering and end this military action.

The cycle of hatred must be broken. It will take people from all of the aspects of this conflict to agree to break that cycle.
