aftenbladet.no — This picture of the dead child in the ruins of her home which until Tuesday was her home is repulsive, and will provoke a lot of readers. It is a conscious provocation - and we have two reasons for it: Israel keep all western journalists away from the war in Gaza. The

How naive...fighting doesn't lead to peace, it lends itself to mass proliferation. When Germany defeated Poland it led to a larger scale conflict, not peace... so your major premise is flawed. The killing of children is only gratifying to sociopaths...

See Vietnam and Korea, and why the US Army keeps a tight lock on what footage comes out of Iraq

to the people who use words like "it" and "terrorist" to describe this child, for a moment, don't think about your words as volleys to hurl at others.i suggest the function of our words, our comments on this picture, is to attend as our representatives a mass funeral in which the number of bodies, especially too, too, small bodies, is too, too, large. think of these words as the brothers who carry martyred children to their graves, sheltering the fragments of the corpses from the press of mourners.in that light, comments like yours should be embarrassed to be read.

Yup, but most of the world seems to think it's Israel, for whatever moronic reason. They aren't capable of comprehending that the savage philistines (lower case, you betcha) are sacrificing their own as well as Israeli civilians to garner pity and sympathy from us suckers on the other side of the world. It's working! People are hating on the Israelis, who are only trying to defend their homes and families, and who make every effort to minimize civilian casualties on both sides. What a shame that people are so deliberately and determinedly ignorant as to blindly believe that Hamas is being victimized! They use their people as human shields (when will the rest of the world GET this?) and then whining when their plans succeed, and their people are sacrificed when Israel is forced to defend itself? We really aren't very bright if we believe Israel should just sit back and let their people be murdered by these pathetic dirtbags.Synopsis: One side is responsible for ALL of the brutal murder going on here, and it freakin' AIN'T Israel.

I cannot damn a country for defending themselves against unprovoked attack. Israel would be perfectly happy to live in peace, if only the savages would knock off their murderous assaults.
