Just when I thought I was out!

I decided yesterday that I am going to stop posting about the horrible events going on in our region. Unfortunately, I decided to check what people on the net are saying about the issue. I came across a couple of comments trying to convince people that the massacre of Qana was all made up. So what can one say about that??

Lets look at the numbers instead of the photos: 60 people killed, 37 of which were children, enough said. No. OK, lets look at what the claims are: they claim that it was only this one child that they kept taking pictures of from different angles. To that I say first look at the numbers no denied them, not even Israel. Second, such a claim does not only assume that people who have just survived the bombs have enough mental focus to plan such a horrid thing, it also expects us to believe that they are cruel enough to do this to the poor did girls body. More so, it implies that all viewers of such photos are idiots because they could not tell that it is the same girl!!!

Well we have seen live coverage of the bodies of many children being laid down on the floor that day, next thing they would claim that those bodies were rag dolls. Well if this is how Israel sees them, it certainly is not how their relatives and loved ones and anyone with a shred of humanity would see them.

And one final note, I bet you anything, if it was one child and only one that was killed in this war, and it was your own, the universe will not be large enough to hold your pain.
