Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me
"And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."
(Mark 10:13-14)
Jesus did not say suffer the children to come unto Him, except those born to Muslim parents. Remember the children of Beslan, Russia? The people to blame for this morning's tragedy are the Islamofacist ADULTS, men who commit wanton slaughter and the women -- the women who let their men strap bombs on their children, and who teach their children to commit murder-suicide. Condem them, but pray for the innocents, for whom there is NO choice.
These are children.
Despite the sins of their fathers, I SERIOUSLY doubt these toddlers did ONE DAMN THING to anyone.
I agree. I cried just as much for these children as I did for Israeli children who have been killed because their adults cannot put down their hate long enough to love their children more. It doesn't matter if these pictures were staged. The fact is that there are a bunch of dead little kids who didn't do a damned thing to deserve it. Both sides need to step back and take a good hard look at this carnage.
"The day we become incapable of BOTH reacting with horror to such tragedies AND despising the Islamofacists who are the true culprits, is the day I give up on FR (and the human race)."
It came close today for me.
The whole thing is eerily familiar to the 1996 bombing of the UN compound in Qana which also killed civilians. Back then Israel was also responding to Hizbollah rocket attacks that were launched from near the compound. Hezbollah was probably hoping for a repeat to win world opinion. Perhaps they were successful since this bombing has now made Israel suspend airstrikes for 24 hours.
Pulled THAT one out of left field, didn't you!
Nonsense, the terrorists have not won whether we have sympathy for babies or not.
Do you have a link to the actual video and pictures of these Israelis allegedly cheering or are you just repeating a bullsh*t urban legend that has been debunked everywhere except for the most rabid moonbat sites?
Forgot that even when Israel does something wrong, its OK. The other guy should have ducked.
Great little war, accomplished a lot. Israel is a lot safer now.
"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.
Thanks for reminding me of that quote...
Yes, I see that you recognize only too well that we are at war. May God keep your family members safe and return them safely to your loving arms.
I feel very, very bad for these poor kids - it certainly wasn't their fault, and they were cynically used by Hezbollah.
Your suggestion is horrible but certainly possible. These people would have been evacuated when the Israelis warned them if the Lebanese had really cared.
Exactly. Prayers for the slain innocent children.
What did Israel do wrong here? THEY ARE NOT THE ONES WHO KILLED THESE KIDS.
Putz.
TET, I'm so grateful to you, Mike, mystery, and the few others who took the time to acknowledge and support the point I've been making on this thread.
This sad situation has hardened my heart even more against the Islamofacists even more because they were forewarned and chose not to remove these innocent children to a safe location.
Yes, her words are very wise and true. I would only add that we will never know peace unless we can have compassion for all the innocents, not just our own.
Thank you, TAdams.
Harden your heart against the adults. Have compassion for the slaughtered little ones. That's my only point.
I can not blame Israel for their reaction. No doubt there thinking is, OK, you want a fight. Let's have one. The problem is, that fight will have to hit hard at the Arab nations that are supporting Hezbeballah. And that will be very, very messy.
Shocking pictures. Enough to make you sick. I can only think how enraged I would be if that were my child. I'd start pushing the buttons on the missle lauchers myself.
This will escalate and will be very, very messy unless it is brought under control now!
Those on here that are cheering this battle on, thnking it will rid Lebanon of terrorist, are insane. The insanity of war has infected them.
Your's is a very reasonable and welcome post. Thank you.
