I find those photos deeply disturbing....perhaps someone could show those Israeli kids the photos of (whats left of) the Lebanese kids who 'recieved' their messages

Where did you find these pictures? I would really like to know.

Old news...this has been posted on here numerous times in the last week. So have the pictures of the Arab kids signing missles as well.

Also this picticular picture has a story attached..its been all over the net. The kids who are siging the picture had both their parents killed in a rocket raid by Hezbolla. Guess the terrorists are doing a good job of making young Israelis enemies for the future.

Im not suprised. Kids can get just as pissed at people as their adult counterparts can.

I had a sadistic sense of humor at that age too.

Note : Those are tank shells, not missiles.

The editorial When We Teach Our Children to Hate contained the pictures on July 21, 2006.
Also, apparently it first appeared on some Arab blog.

The messages (if any) the girls are writing, is not clear, nor can one state with any confidence or certainty what has been written on the shells was written by children.

The only message I can read is to Sheik Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, (not Lebanon and nothing hate filled against the Lebanese)…but rather against the very man that has threatened Jews and Israel to no ends.

"If they all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide."— Sheik Hassan Nasrallah

The girl may be drawing a Star of David... In fact according to the source cited below (which report they spoke with the AP photographer that took the pictures) that is precisely what the girls were drawing.

According to this source the girls are from Kiryat Shmona, which is right on the border with Lebanon (worth a read):

Kiryat Shmona has been under constant bombardment from South Lebanon since the first day of the conflict….
… The noise was terrifying, people were dying outside, the kids were scared out of their minds and they had been told over and over that some man named Nasrallah was responsible for their having to cower underground for days on end.

On the day that photo was taken, the girls had emerged from the underground bomb shelters for the first time in five days. A new army unit had just arrived in the town and was preparing to shell the area across the border. The unit attracted the attention of twelve photojournalists - Israeli and foreign. The girls and their families gathered around to check out the big attraction in the small town - foreigners. They were relieved and probably a little giddy at being outside in the fresh air for the first time in days. They were probably happy to talk to people. And they enjoyed the attention of the photographers.

The photograpers gathered around. Twelve of them.

This photo, imo is much more telling….

I think this photo has been shown around here on multipul threads if you would have cared to look, also this thread Mirthful Me on Photos
was in response to this photo resulting in heated debates in which photos of the dead eventually appear. We do not need to see this picture again as we have more then enough threads devoted to it.

I can not find a thread that is dedicated to specifically to this on Pats, but if you know of one…why not post a link instead of adding nothing to the thread other than complaining.

Perhaps a friendly redirection to the one you “think” is proper would have been much more helpful.

Furthermore, I see no infractions of the T&C of this site contained in this thread thus far; if so please indicate the necessity to post the T&C link by specific example.
