Source: ITAR-TASS Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip has killed 408 children, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday. The death toll exceeded that of the sad 2008-2009 Operation Cast Lead that killed 350 children. According to UNICEF, over the last month the operation injured no less than 2,500 Palestinian children. A one-month infant is among the victims of the Israeli fire at the Gaza Strip, which is one of the world’s most densely populated areas. The conflict has already claimed lives of 1,800 Palestinians. Six children had been injured, the fund said. According to the UN, civilians account for more than 70% of those killed; children make up a third of the total civilian death count. The 29-day military operation has damaged 142 schools, including 89 schools controlled by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). A total of 373,000 children needed psychological aid, UNICEF said. The Israeli army started Operation Protective Edge (Solid Rock in Hebrew) on July 8 to destroy Hamas underground tunnels leading to Israel. The 72-hour truce in the Gaza Strip came into force on Tuesday morning.

I came across this photo of Hermann Goering in the dock at the Nuremberg Trials, and I was very struck by it. This was one of the most terrible human beings who ever lived, and what he was is captured with great power in this photo. The eyes speak defiance, inner sadness and dark knowledge. The lips attempt the smile of the innocent, which only reveals the guilt he actually feels more clearly. He died in his cell after being slipped a cyanide capsule by a guard who had apparently been bribed, but a number of other Nazi panjandrums were hanged in prison. Hitler's architect, Albert Speer, was among those who were detailed to clean up after the hangings, which were carried out in the gymnasium at Spandau Prison, which had been a school. He reported in his autobiography that there remained under the gallows a dark mark in the wooden floor, like a scorch mark, that could not be removed. I have often wondered if this was left by their evil souls as they plunged downward out of the bodies. I have learned through my own and my wife's life experience and much reading, especially in the literature of the ancient Egyptian religion, that a soul at peace with itself is light, and that our great task in life is to do good and to forgive wrongs against us so that we will die unburdened. These men died bearing unimaginable burdens. As a group, the Nazi elite were probably the most evil human beings who have ever lived. I sense that Goering's soul knew its fate, and I think I see that knowledge in this terrifying picture.

Problem is....one invariably becomes what one opposes......specially when one is successful....
I am beginning to lean to the cyclic nature of things....
Like how the Jews are the NEW NAZIS....what goes around...comes around....
Like America...it was so good for so long...but the wheel keeps turning....and nobody admits how bad it has become...or how much worse its gonna get....

I am not insulting anyone.
Read it however you take it.
I am pointing out that nobody can justify the deaths of the kids it's unjustifiable.
Children's bodies are in ice cream freezers... Dead children, babies in ice cream freezers waiting for their time to go to their new beds, their graves... They are babies. I can't calm down. Little children, babies who should be lined up in front of an ice cream truck to buy ice creams are in ice cream freezers as there is no space in the morgues of Gaza. Children who should be playing in kindergartens are now statistics on the reports of child mortalities in Gaza.
If you say nothing when a Knesset member, Ayelet Shakeed, shared on her Facebook wall that the Palestinian mothers should follow their sons to their death or more "little snakes" will be raised, they kill mothers with their little children. If you don't stand up against implicit genocide calls, they stand up for explicit calls one after another. If you don't criticize Sderot cinema images showing cheering Israelis with popcorn as Gaza is pounded by Israeli missiles, they grow more arrogant and write op-ed's claiming that there is no such thing as an innocent civilian in Gaza. They are killing babies and their bodies, which are now in ice cream freezers, await their graves.
If you are fooled once, the burden is on the ones who fooled you but if you are fooled twice this is on you. Dead children's bodies are in ice cream freezers. If this isn't a war crime, then what is? Are you waiting for ice cream trucks?
start asking the REAL questions.

That's as bad as it gets.
Can't imagine what the families are going through.

Killing kids intentionally (as they absolutely are). Israel has lost it's way.
