Left-wing women protest offensive in Lebanon

A group of left-wing women were holding a protest outside of the Knesset on Monday evening under the title, "End the bloodbath."

The women were carrying signs stating things like, "In both Beirut and the Krayot, kids want to live," "We don't have children for wars," and "Enough with the war insanity - there is no military solution."

The protest was reported to be going smoothly.

1. Thanks for posting - we need to keep in mind that it is the

"leaders" on both sides who are running the war, not the people.

2. They aren't left wing or right wing. They're moms who don't

want to see anymore of the boys War tinker toys, armed Apache helicopters, and guns murder and shred human lives into nothing but carnage and waste. They are tired of seeing everything being destroyed by stupid, destructive, immature men who care nothing about life except their own selfish immediate gratification.

Compassion and/or the ability to feel empathy has no political leaning. However, it does come from experiencing painful moments in ones life.

This planet is being held hostage by a group of spoiled, narcissistic, selfish, greedy, slothfully rich (off of the backs of those much less wealthy)white males who have been allowed by those around them, including their wives, to avoid pain and responsibility for their actions at all costs.
