Did you see the photograph of the Middle Eastern boy blown apart in an explosion?
I did, unfortunately. Someone insisted on posting it in my Twitter timeline. For my education, presumably.
The boy - no older than five - was on a hospital bed. It must have happened very recently because there was still colour in his face. His eyes were closed and his expression - he can't have seen it coming, thank God - was serene. You might almost have imagined him asleep, if it weren't for the fact that his body was in bits: head and severed torso; an arm; legs and lower body; entrails.
Whoever did this, I thought, is really, really sick.
But I didn't mean the Israelis - who, I imagine, were the people I was expected to blame. Rather, I meant the sicko who scooped up the boy's remains while they were still fresh and insisted on laying them out, like some grotesque jigsaw, in order to snap them artfully for a propaganda shot. And also, all the sickos out there who have been reposting photos like these all over the internet in order to make what they seem to imagine is an unarguable point about Israel's war on Hamas.

How many were killed in drone strikes?
How many women and children killed in Hiroshima?
Don’t start wars if you can’t pay the price.
I’d wager good money that the person that posted that picture to Twitter would lose their stuff if someone posted pictures of aborted babies to Twitter.
Maybe Ham-ass should look at these pictures and ponder the consequences of starting another war with Israel.
Oh, that’s right. Things like this don’t upset Ham-ass much. The lad’s gone to join Allah, after all. And his sundered body iS a useful photo op.

I’d blame the media but the average person who falls for this are morons. They know damn well Hamas supports suicide bombings and will often parade their children wearing suicide vests.
You never see the Jews do that. But now with this war, the Jews are at fault for defending themselves. People know Hamas doesn’t give a damn about life, yet these simple minded idiots blame the Jews for Hamas’ actions.
In some ways, I’m glad the relationship between the White Hut and Israel is strained because now Israel is free to take care of business.
I understand Hamas has put in a big order for Cabbage Patch Kid dolls to use in blurry propaganda photos /sarc
But when a homicidal group of people, Islamists i.e. Hamas, provoke wars and then complain when their citizens, including women and children, are killed because of their, Islamists, insane proclivities, then the libs get their knickers in a twist.
Hypocrisy thy name is Hamas.
The muzzies only say they will co-exist with Jews if they control all lands and can convert the Jews under penalty of death. Muslims are savage idiots.
Most of my friends are liberals. They believe that Israel is bad because it is supposedly more powerful than 1 Billion muslims... They hate Israel like they hate the US and so-called Colonial powers like the UK etc. They might believe the muslims are often wrong, but their hate for the US etc overrides any concern the smarter ones might have. They also believe the media is right wing. I am not kidding.
I love Bibi’s simple but powerful summary.
If Hama quits fighting, both Israel and Hamas will experience peace.
If Israel quits fighting, that will be the end of Israel.
No point in mentioning all that. Just mentioning it.
If you are brave, do a search on Google images using the search term “Gaza child killed.” Not sure what the pic to the writer looked like but it could not be much worse.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m on Israel’s side, but I have a question; why are the advertisements on TV asking for a $25 gift box for Jewish people?
This was even before Hamas started shelling Israel.
I thought they took better care of their people- and besides, don’t we donate funds to them?
If you ask me, the ad is not very effective.
Some of the people look so angry and are shoving each other to get at the food.
I saw an online photo of a child torn in half. The poster lambasted the Israelis for this over and over again.
A link to the page said the photo was from the Ukraine, not Gaza.
A kid died? Woo, I’m surprise.d.
You know cuz, they usually blow up so fast
Brought to you by the “people” who hang living children on the front of buildings as shields.
This is a leftist nut who hated George Bush and her country so much, she would profess her love for a person who would gladly have her killed over someone, Bush, who wouldn't hurt her a bit.
When I heard her speak, I knew there were millions of other libs who felt the same way. There is no other term that can be used to describe these people except for lunatics.
