The cost of war to children
I wonder what the media would've said had it been Palestinian girls in the photos below. But this is the Israel that the U.S. president, G.W. Bush, is unconditionally supporting. This is what American tax-payers' money is buying: indiscriminate death to women, children, and the elderly.

Terrorism is Spelled: I S R A E L
I always knew it was just a matter of time and now it has happened!!
Those who think or believe that what is happening in Lebanon and Gaza was provoked or instigated by the snatching of Israeli soldiers by Hamas and Hizbollah are either naive or new to the Middle East conflict and the politics stemming from it.
Israel is a rogue state that practices state sponsored terrorism against un-armed civilians in a systematic arrogant way sanctioned and paid for by the US. They especially target children through a plan devised by the IDF and Israeli police to kill off future generations of "terrorists".
Israel claims it has the right to reclaim Palestine as the Jews' "Promised Land" based on a 4000 year old biblical promise when they were driven out of it, but claims that Palestinians do not have the right to return to their land although Israel drove them out of it only 60 years ago.
Israel was established through aggression and terrorism while Europe and the US looked the other way because racist Europe wanted the Jews out of its societies. Jews and Arabs (who are co-partners in Semitism) enjoyed peaceful coexistence through out history. Many Jews resided in Palestine and openly practiced their religious rites with no interference from anyone. Then they decided that the country belongs to them and kicked out the indigenous population sparking a perpetual conflict that, 60 years later, is still bringing death and misery to millions in the region and beyond.
Israel is the only country in the world that brushes off rare UN Security Council resolutions which condemn its barbaric policies and military incursions and gets away with it. The US makes sure it does.
Israel's economy has always been weak and never self sufficient, so what keeps it going you may ask? US taxpayers' money that's what! Israel's powerful propaganda and lobbying machine in the US (primarily the AIPAC) makes sure of that. Whoever called the White House and Capitol Hill "Israeli Occupied Territories" was right on the money!
Israel holds more that 10,000 hostages, not prisoners because the vast majority of them have not had any charges filed against them! 1700 of them are below the age of 16! 700 of them are mothers with babies! No one is allowed to even discuss their cases. But when two war criminals of the IDF are taken prisoners to be traded for the hostages that Israel is holding, it becomes grounds for the annihilation of whole countries and genocide against their civilian population.
If Israel can do what it does in the name of self defense then why can't Hamas and Hizbollah do the same? Israel is the aggressor here. People tend to forget that. If the Americans love the Israelis so much then why not give them a piece of land the size of Palestine in Arizona or Texas and take them all there! This is much cheaper for the US than the 3-5 billion dollars they pump in the Israeli economy and military every year. It will also give the region, and the world for that matter, some peace. But since that is highly unlikely something has to be done about Israel and the US.
