They were not sleeping. The were dead.

I was looking at The Star's frontpage today and saw a cute picture of 3 sleeping boys.

But when i zoomed out, I saw a man who looked like he was wailling and tearing-his-eyes-out crying.

Then I noticed the blood on the children.

They were not sleeping. They were dead.

They were Palestinian kids.

Honestly, any human being seeing this picture will have some sad emotions. Even just a tinge.
I'm not excluded.

If you try to send a message to someone, a message without words but only pictures, what picture would you use to say "innocence"?

More often than not, it would be a picture of a baby... or children.

Is that still true?

I don't think so.

Why don't I think so? Because if the above stands true, how can a human being (i don't give a shit who they are) kill children (innocents) and live with themselves?

On the same note, have any of you watched Blood Diamond acted by Leo DiCaprio?

On the same note, how can a human being take away a child's innocence by training him to kill?

Where is our humanity? Where has it gone?

CAN WE STILL CALL OURSELVES HUMAN?

Yes yes, i know, in war there are always 'casualties'. See, I hate that goddamn word. CASUALTIES. Who the hell came up with that word?
Does it imply the the dead are 'casually' dead?

Anyways, back to the point, I know that in war there are 'casualties'. But so many children?

And we all know it's genocide when schools are targetted (bombed) when classes are in session.

Come one, man.

Seriously, i'm not pointing fingers at any particular party. But if you've done the above mentioned (killing 'innocence', turning them into killers, bombing their schools) then yes, i'm pointing my fingers (all of them) at YOU.

Then and only then you should 'terasa'.

I know it's a sensitive topic for a lot of people, but I feel i should say something about it. Cause the next step would be DOING something.
