There is something terrible about these photos of Israel's attack on Gaza, and not just in the destruction. Quite frankly, Gaza had it coming. Hamas is just asking to be bombed, civilians be damned.
No, what's troubling to me is that at this point I don't know which of these photos represents actual casualties. After all, the Palestinians have made such an art out of fake-casualty photos that it's rather like the Boy Who Cried Wolf at this point.
Then, too, where is the honor in parading your dead about like this? Is international sympathy worth the shame of using one's dead to gain it? How about STOP lobbing rockets into Israel in order to gain international sympathy. That might work a tiny bit better.
Just a thought...

Many of the Palestinians doing the rocket-lobbing aren't the ones that are getting killed in these retaliations. I've heard the argument that its the fault of the militants that innocent people die because they're the ones who use them as shields. Still, who decides when enough is enough and no more innocent people have to die?
Wellsy, that's entirely the problem--nobody "decides" when enough is enough. It's not down to a decision, or some isolated force. Action/reaction/reaction/reaction is the name of the game, and it might just take force for it to end. Not doing anything may just prolong this whole mess unnecessarily.
