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.
....... well said.
Since the video was never released, that suggests the video would have supported the eyewitness accounts.
Produce the video. Post it on Youtube. That should settle everything.
Until then, it's all half-assed conspiracy speculation by the wildest of ZOTcake looney tunes whose names shall not be mentioned here.
They weren't terrorists....they were kids.....some might have been Christian for Gods sake.
Thank YOU. Your post means a great deal to me. It IS good to remember the true cost of war...even when not only justified, but necessary.
It's abolutely true that this event was a PR coup for the Islamofacists, who must be defeated at all costs. Yet, taking a moment to pray for the lost little ones hurts no one.
Give a rest. The sources for the story are Ha'aretz,ABC News, the New York Times and The Forward.
It's all sick, isn't it. God have mercy on their little souls. In a perfect world they'd be playing with soccerballs. What kid wouldn't want to live in a land of milk and honey instead of bombs and IEDs. It is abuse of the highest degree. But, alas, they don't. It is the most insane juxtaposition imaginable to our way of thinking.
These people breed living bombs. The majority will grow up in a culture that intends to kill you, me, and our families..... and even their own.

You brought up this dreck. YOU give it a rest.
THE COMMIE FORWARD???? The NEW YORK LYING SLIMES???? Give me a freaking break.
However, I'm capable of separating my loathing for the adults and my sorrow at the death of innocents. Are you?

I would have thought that sorrow at the death of children regardless of who they belonged to, is a given amongst civilized peoples. What I find abnoxious is your selective portrayal of the victims. IMO you have crossed the line between sympathy for the victims and making Hez'b'allah propaganda.
Regardless of the headline to your post, the collection of images follow the path of the MSM and are designed to damage Israel's right to defend itself.
All of the victims were from two large extended families, the Shaloub and Hashem families. All the women and children were hiding in a shelter in the basement. The written story describes how the bodies of mothers holding onto the bodies of their children were removed from the basement. You can see in the footage that apparently three stories of concrete building fell on them, and the rescuers pulled out the bodies that were found in air pockets. That's why the bodies are still being recovered, and the final body count isn't yet known - there are still corpses buried in the rubble not easily accessible.
The families didn't have the cars or the gasoline to leave, and they didn't have enough money to get taxis out of Cana. There have also been frequent aerial bombardments of convoys leaving the area, so it's difficult for the residents to know if the smarter thing is to stay or go.
The BBC reporter quotes residents of the town as saying that Hezbollah fired rocket launchers from fields outside the town itself. Be as skeptical as you are inclined. BBC is the main news source of our chief ally in the GWOT, so this is the coverage that the British are seeing. Take a look at the video. Dismiss it as propaganda or take it at face value. But at least by watching it, you're seeing an on-site piece of news footage, which we haven't seen in the US yet.
Considering Israel's decision to stop air strikes, it seems that even they are considering that they made have made a tragic horrible mistake. So even we can consider that possibility as well, instead of just dismissing it out of hand.
The Beeb also has footage from the same reporter as he is travelling with Lebanese who are fleeing the area in a convoy headed to Tyre. The convoy gets shelled by Israeli war planes. Scary stuff.
Glad to.
I made a specific reply concerning people cheering our loss of life on 9/11.
I don't think anyone on this thread is cheering the loss of the Christians and the children dying in Lebanon or the loss of lives in Israel.
After my daughter and her babies evacuated Safed, my son-in-law stayed behind to pack some of their stuff to take. He was dodging rockets on the drive out of town.
I intend to tread carefully here and not make too much of a ruckus.
Compassion and prayers for babies are not difficult to come by. But...all here need to see the film "Obsession". AliVeritas has posted a link on the 7/29 Middle East Thread, post #451. In this film you will see a 3 year old girl saying that what she wants to do with her life is "kill Jews". This is a completely shocking video. It is 77 minutes long, but you will not be bored...it is riviting.
I have tried to get the link to copy, can't seem to do it, sorry.
The link is posted at #288
No, you brought up an old, discredited urban legend about 5 guys who allegedly "acted strange" and a video no one has ever seen, this in no way constitutes any evidence of any people, other than Muslims and Ward Churchill, cheering what happened on 9/11.

So, don't cry to me about civilian casualties. Cry to those using your babies and wives and mothers; cry to those who store weapons in mosques, ambulances, hospitals and private homes. Cry to those launching deadly rockets from the backyards of your kindergartens and schools. Cry to the heartless men who love death, and who, however many of their troops or civilians die, consider themselves victorious as long as they can keep on firing rockets at our women and children....
It sure is.
It is the most insane juxtaposition imaginable to our way of thinking.
The Nazis did the same thing to children. To a considerable degree, so did the communists.
The majority will grow up in a culture that intends to kill you, me, and our families..... and even their own.
True. Look at how they slaughter Arabs in Iraq.
