PHOTOS: Dead children of Qana; Islamofacists are to blame, but pray for these innocents (graphic)

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.

[Wolfstar]

Now... How about ten thousand or so photos of dead out-of-uniform Hezbollah combatants?

I'd welcome their deaths and, frankly, would gleefully post or view photos of their rotting corpses. Babies are a different story altogether, however. Israeli babies, or Lebanese babies, or American babies, or Russian babies.

Today was a tragedy of immense proportions, because it gave Hezbollah the upper hand in the PR war, and it may mark a disasterous turning point in the larger war against the Islamofacists.

Nevertheless, the babies were innocent and I am proud to stand with the Israeli government in pausing to mourn for them.

[Blowtorch]

How do we all know Arabs cheered about 9/11?

Nice try. Are you completely ignorant? I would say no, but rather you have an axe to grind against Jews.

[Wolfstar]

The older I get, the more I don't understand the cruelty of people.

I have never understood humanity's seemingly limitless capacity for cruelty.

I know that what Israel is doing is the correct cause of action

Israel is doing the right thing. So are we in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[Wolfstar]

What I seemed to be saying is that it is inappropriate to mourn excessively for the enemy's dead before a victory has been achieved.

Thank you for your clarification, Alouette. I can agree with your statement only because of your use of the word excessively. As tragic as today's events were, neither we nor Israel can afford to let them deter us from slamming the Islamofacists as hard as we possibly can.

[Wolfstar]

The death of children is tragic period, the religious views of their parents are irrelevant. What is relevant is the callousness of the people using those dead children as props for their ideology.

I agree with both of these points.

You obviously claim to be reading my mind! You must take the mind reading act on the road!

A guess is not a claim to be reading another's mind. A guess is speculation based on information at hand, nothing more.

Let me remind that this is a culture that sees nothing wrong viewing their children as a bipedal very low speed guided missile.

I need no such reminder. The whole point of this thread is a plea for us to not descend to their depths. This thread is not about the Islamofacists as much as it is about us, and our capacity to both feel compassion for those dead children -- to pray for them -- while simultaneously loathing everything the adult Islamofacists stand for.

As I've said in different ways several times today, I don't want to lose my humanity and my soul while hating the Islamofacists. There is a line I don't want to cross.

[Wolfstar]

This entire display of photos just serves as a reminder to me that this is exactly the fate these Islamofascists have in mind for my kids. It's us or them, period.

Your's is a very truthful post, hegemony. In my opinion, you are striking a good balance between sadness for the lost children and protection of your own. And you're right, your first obligation is to you and yours.

[TVenn]

Claim: CNN used old footage to fake images of 'Palestinians dancing in the street' after the terrorist attack on the USA.

We all know Arabs celebrated our loss on 9/11.There were eyewitnesses

What I am looking for is video footage that shows the celebrations.

Can you find anything?

[Cinnamon Girl]

Several of those photos are of the same children over and over.

[Cinnamon Girl]

You can watch the "Obsession" documentary on line for free at Google Video. It has footage of the celebrations.

Blame Hezbollah, and all the rest of the islamofascist swine for every innocent death!

"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."

-Golda Meir

She was right on the money back then, and still right on target to this day.

Think about it.

[Sprite518]

This is pretty hard to look at without shedding a tear. I know this is not Israel's fault. What are they suppose to do? Let the bad guys win?

Of course not. Israel -- and we -- must prevail. But I'm glad you can express sorrow, too.

[Wolfstar]

Blame Hezbollah, and all the rest of the islamofascist swine for every innocent death!

Agreed.

Arafat Horrified by Attacks, but Thousands of Palestinians Celebrate; Rest of World Outraged
Wednesday, September 12, 2001

BACKGROUND

As thousands of Palestinians celebrated in the West Bank and in Lebanese refugee camps, governments across the globe offered condolences to an America that looked more vulnerable than ever after Tuesday's terror attacks.

People on every continent watched in horror as astonishing images of terror in the United States filled their television screens. But in the West Bank town of Nablus, Palestinians cheered and distributed candy to passers-by, and Iraqi television played a patriotic song that began "Down with America!" as it showed the World Trade Center towers collapsing.

About 3,000 people poured into the streets of Nablus shortly after the attacks began, chanting "God is Great" and — in their traditional gesture of celebration — handed out candy.

There were no reports of celebrations elsewhere in the West Bank and Gaza.

"At this most difficult hour, Israelis stand with you ready to provide any assistance," said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. "The government of Israel declares tomorrow a day of mourning as we bow our heads and share the pain of the American people."

Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres offered the U.S. the assistance of a highly-specialized military emergency team to come and help rescue people in the demolished buildings and to provide other support functions. Israeli officials said a plane was waiting on a runway in Tel Aviv with 100 to 200 people ready to fly over if the U.S. said the word.

Sheik Ahmed Yassin, whose Islamic militant Hamas group has carried out a series of suicide bombings in Israel, said he was not interested in exporting such attacks to the United States.

"We are not ready to move our struggle outside the occupied Palestinian land. We are not prepared to open international fronts, however much we criticize the unfair American position," Yassin told reporters in Gaza City.

In Ein el-Hilweh, Lebanon's largest refugee camp, where about 75,000 Palestinians live, revelers fired weapons in the air, witnesses said. Similar celebratory gunfire was heard at the Rashidiyeh camp near the southern city of Tyre.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat offered his sympathy to Americans and said he was horrified by the devastating attacks, which also hit the Pentagon.

Leaders around the world — including most in the Middle East — offered messages of support.

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers condemned the attacks and rejected suggestions that suspected terrorist mastermind Usama bin Laden, who has been given asylum in Afghanistan, could be behind them.

"It is premature to level allegations against a person who is not in a position to carry out such attacks," said Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban ambassador in Pakistan. "It was a well-organized plan and Osama has no such facilities."

President Gen. Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan, one of three countries that recognize the Taliban's government, condemned the attacks and called for cooperation to combat the "modern-day evil" of terrorism.

Key indexes sank on world stock markets and many European and Asian airlines canceled flights to the United States and recalled planes already in the air.

Britain and Belgium banned commercial flights over their capitals, and Britain warned its citizens traveling in the United States to beware of possible further attacks. Israel closed its airspace to foreign flights and evacuated staff from diplomatic missions and Jewish institutions around the world.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, whom the United States has accused of backing international terrorism, called the attacks "horrifying" and urged Muslim aid groups to offer help "regardless of political considerations or differences between America and the peoples of the world."

Syria's government condemned the attacks and offered condolences to the United States and the American people, the official Syrian Arab News Agency reported. Syria has also been at odds with the United States, which has accused it of backing terrorism.

Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, a moderate who is struggling for power against the country's hard-line Islamic leaders, expressed "deep regret and sympathy with the victims" and said "it is an international duty to try to undermine terrorism."

Many countries beefed up security at American embassies, and President Bush put all American military forces overseas on high alert.

Ordinary citizens offered condolences at American embassies around the world — Norwegians left bouquets of flowers in a park near the U.S. Embassy, Russians placed flowers near the Moscow mission and in Budapest, there were dozens of candles.

In Berlin, hundreds of people marched silently down Unter den Linden boulevard at nightfall to a service at the city's main cathedral to mourn the victims.

NATO called an emergency meeting of its governing council and urged an intensified war against international terrorism. "Our message to those who perpetrated these unspeakable crimes is clear: you will not get away with it," it said.

In New York, the U.N. Security Council condemned the attacks and urged all nations to work to bring the perpetrators to justice.

"It is impossible to fully comprehend the evil that would have conjured up such a cowardly and depraved assault," said Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien.

Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the attacks and called them "a blatant challenge to humanity."

"This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today," said British Prime Minister Tony Blair. "It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of human life."

Queen Elizabeth II said she was watching developments in "growing disbelief and total shock."

Pope John Paul II condemned the "unspeakable horror" and said he was praying for the victims' souls and for their families.

While Iraqi TV appeared to salute the attacks, Modhafar Bashir, a 35-year-old poet watching the news in a Baghdad coffee shop, said he condemned such violence. "The problem is that America has created so many enemies inside and abroad," Bashir said.

China said it was "horrified" and Chinese President Jiang Zemin expressed "grave concern for the safety of Chinese in the U.S."

"This outrageous and vicious act of violence against the United States is unforgivable," said Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

Arafat offered his condolences to the American people and government. "We are completely shocked. It's unbelievable," he said.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said "there can be no doubt that these attacks are deliberate acts of terrorism, carefully planned and coordinated. ... I condemn them utterly."

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak called the attacks "horrible and unimaginable." In Germany, Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder described them as "a declaration of war."

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad Mahathir expressed sadness, but urged the U.S. government not to seek revenge.

"Retaliation will lead to the deaths of many people and will be followed by more counter-strikes," he was quoted as saying.

In the U.S. Caribbean territory of Puerto Rico, people scrambled for news of relatives and friends in New York, where an estimated 2 million Puerto Ricans live.

Groups gathered on the corners of cobble-stoned streets in San Juan, clinging to strangers in search of more details.

"Dios mio, have mercy!" exclaimed a whited-haired man, making the sign of the cross as he watched the second tower explode on TV.

Broadcasters around the world broke into programming to show images of the disasters.

"This portends the end of the world," said Ekima Ibass, a civil servant in Congo's capital, Kinshasa. "It could be the beginning of a new world war," Ibass added.

Ending this sad day with a prayer -- lyrics from the song:

He

He can turn the tide
And calm the angry sea
He alone decides
Who writes a symphony
He lights every star
That makes our darkness bright
He keeps watch all through
Each long and lonely night

He still finds the time
To hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call
And always find him there
Though it makes him sad
To see the way we live
He'll always say - I forgive

He can grant a wish
Or make a dream come true
He can paint the cloud
And turn the grey to blue
He alone knows where
To find the rainbows end
He alone will see
What lies beyond the bend

He can touch a tree
And turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie
That you and I have told
Though it makes him sad
To see the way we live
He'll always say - I forgive

Dearest Lord, please take the lost children of both sides in this conflict into Your loving arms. Please comfort all children in need of comfort tonight. Please reach into the hearts of the Islamofacists and show them the way to stop their madness. Please protect our troops and those of the Israelis. Please protect your land of Israel.

Thank you.

Shalhevet Pass

Shalhevet Tehiya Pass (2000 - March 26, 2001) (Hebrew: שלהבת פס ) was an Israeli infant victim of a terrorist attack. Shalhevet was shot in the head and killed by a Palestinian sniper while seated in her stroller on the streets of Hebron, where she and her family lived. The bullet which killed Shalhevet then hit the leg of her father, Yitzchak Pass, who was pushing the stroller. Israeli investigators believed the snipers were intentionally targeting the baby.

Tali Hatuel

Tali Hatuel (June 28, 1970 - May 2, 2004) was an Israeli social worker who, along with her four daughters aged 2 to 11, was shot at close range and killed on May 2, 2004 by armed Palestinian terrorists. She was eight months pregnant with her fifth child.

In case any of you care, the Daily Kosmonuts are calling you monsters for not crying uncontrollably about these pictures. As if they give a crap about the bodies filling up Saddam's mass graves or Castro's political prisoners.

"it is important to recall that Hizbullah uses civilians as human shields. It shoots from the midst of the population, which proves the need for disarming the organization. They are holding the Lebanese people hostage."

Yes, and when they don't get authentic victims, they'll pass of those killed in crossfire and secondary explosions as "victims of dah eeeeeevil Jooooos."

Thanks Fred.... but I'm still not done with my Mohammed Al Dura flashbacks...
