This is very sad and tragic. It is a shame that innocent children must pay the price of adult stupidity.
One thing I wish to know (so I ask for your perspective) is what is the most likely reason for the deaths of these children. The way I tend to see this is either:
1) Israel is targeting only Hezbollah elements, but Hezbollah knowing they are in the middle of a dangerous interchange do no ensure they are away from where children can get hurt and/or do not send any children away from them so they are safer.
2) Hezbollah has indeed separated themselves from the weaker elements of society such as children but Israel is still choosing to target these children because they are evil and cruel.
3) Israel is not really targeting anything. They are just attacking any and all areas regardless of any real targets of opportunity. So they may get some Hezbollah elements here and some innocent children there. (Not at all to take away from the serious nature of this but kind of like taking an antibiotic or chemotherapy that attacks both good and bad cells in a very disorganized manner)
I do not think there are any other possible scenarios. Which of the three do you think most likely? I know that in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan there were deaths of children. I do not believe that US policy was at all to target them, but the innocents were tightly woven into the same areas as the bad elements being targeted.
I may have my opinions, but I do not wish to believe something false. I try to seek the truth so I am always looking for all perspectives to add to the facts and opinions that shape my perspective. Thanks for sharing yours.
When I first started this blog page I was contacted by an Israeli that did not wish me to continue this page so they threatened to murder me and my children. What better way to hurt someone then to murder or threaten their children.
It seems every since the Israeli’s have appeared in Palestine they have targeted the children first, then women. The only reason I have ever seen for people to do this is to try and break someone or they are afraid when the children grow up they will fight or seek revenge.
Please know, Israel has been accused not just by the Palestinians; but by many in the world of genocide.
Before the war you see now, the Israeli’s have beaten children to death or just shoot them; their favorite is shooting a child in the head playing in the street.
One thing you have to remember to, you are talking about densely populated areas especially in the occupied territories and with boarders closed the Palestinians especially; are caught like fish in a barrel.
If you have been following closely to what is going on that actually seemed to have heated this war Hezbollah came into the picture after numerous Israeli attacks in the occupied area’s, when the Israeli’s got close to the Lebanese boarder Hezbollah was waiting for them.
What I have not seen in the news, is the explanation of who the Hezbollah really is; which they are another branch of Palestinian resistance living in Lebanon.
The people that could evacuate Lebanon were until the Israeli’s destroyed roads and bridges as well as the Beirut Airport, closing of the usual means of escape to other countries.
As for targeting, the Israeli’s will target anything especially larger populated area’s for they have always seemed to do this. When they think they are going to be criticized they will say they killed militants or terrorist.
I had wished before this happened that at least Omert would have listened to negations or at least the two side's came up with a compromise the two could agreed on, but Omert said no without really listening. Which I am sorry to say is not the first time.
I hope, this answer’s your question and thank you very much for asking.
Before the war you see now, the Israeli’s have beaten children to death or just shoot them; their favorite is shooting a child in the head playing in the street.
Housewife, there are many out there who purposefully practice deceit in order to skew public opinion. I have come to the conclusion that you do not attempt to deceive and that you actually believe what you say to be true. Like all including myself our beliefs are shaped by our observations of sources we trust. When a trusted source lies or deceives, we are all worse off for it. Yet this is how two people like you and I can speak what we believe to be true and yet be on opposite sides of issues. Somebody, somewhere is lying and I wish I knew who.
If this statement above you quoted were true and the Israeli government supported or knowingly tolerated such acts I would find it very despicable. What I see is that both Palestinian and Israeli children have died in this conflict. Women and children die in every conflict. War is not surgical as it is too risky to get in a position where you and your opponent simply face each other and shoot. Explosives and wide scattering bullets must be used and this is where there is most danger to civilians. This is why it is so important in conflicts to evacuate civilians (especially women and children) to the safer areas. I have yet to see any evidence that this practice occurs in the middle-east. I have not seen it in Iraq, in Palestine, in Lebanon. Instead I saw Saddam use human shields during the Iraq conflict. I have seen evidence of purposeful integration with civilians. Saddam's sons, Zarqawi and others were always taken out in a heavy civilian population. Why? Why don't they go where if targeted then innocent civilians will not get caught in the bombing.
I respect you and your opinions. I simply find that those in the media that contradict my positions tend to have other obvious agenda items that tend to make me discredit them. I simply cannot point to one single source that I trust that is also in a position to know and corroborates what you are saying. I hope you understand what I am saying and my dilemma.
What I have told you is the truth because I would be a poor person to do otherwise and I thank you for feeling about me the way you do. I know when we first met we were on opposite sides and I have learned to understand why this has happened. In many ways I have grown to appreciate you, even though we seem to be very different people.
May I make a suggestion as for the media, since you are very well aware of propaganda and people trying to sway people to their views; if you have not done so already when you question some ones writing as true or false check the background of the information as far as you can and if available the writer. Especially their political views. I say this to help you only because I do in a way consider you a friend.
I do not have complete information about the other countries, but if Palestinians leave the occupied areas the Israeli’s will take the land. I will say lately, that I have mentioned to certain family member’s to leave for a safer place if and when they can because I do not wish anything to happen to them. As for other people doing this I can not answer, especially women and children. I will tell you; it is very hard to be a refugee or live in exile.
As for war you are right, weapons do not have eyes, but with some of the modern weapons I have seen they can more pin point a target closer then before.
Also you have asked about why’s, which to me are moral issues which I firmly disagree if there is any harm to civilians. But the ratio of children’s death for example, is 100 Palestinians to 1 Israeli and I happen to know personally the Israel’s will not dispute this to my face yet.
Just another word to the wise, read the Zionist history parallel to the founding of the State of Israel to date and friend for complete understanding it will be a puzzle that you will put together and if a question in your mind comes up as you are learning follow the tangent and you will begin to understand.
As for the Palestinians side, there is many very good places on the net that some I have put on this blog for you to understand us.
In this kind of forum, I do not know how else to explain without harm coming to myself or my family. I have not become bold enough yet to put some of the things I do know on this blog page. But please know I would never lie or deceive you in any way because I wish the world to see what I see and what is really going on.
Otherwise, it is time for the real truth to come foreword and the war’s to stop!
I miss something please again tell me, thank you.
