Jewish kids encouraged to write messages on artillery shells at a weapons depot near the Lebanese border, kinda makes me sick that anybody would do this.

Full Version: Jewish kids write messages on artillery
But still, the fact that the reporters wanted them to is sickening, heck, one of the missiles even read "From Israel and Danielle" kids shouldn't have to grow up with war.
Agreed
messages in english?

Half the religious nutters in that area are yanks. Most of the rest are poor immigrants tempted by cheap housing/mortages due to normal folk not wanting rockets raining down on them every other day.
I can't express myself over this 'war'. I'm so disgusted with the parties involved, and nearly everyone in the Middle East, that I want to slap them all and order them to JUST GET ALONG. It really emphasizes the importance of the separation of church (or mosque or temple) and state. I'm so glad I live in a land where there is religious freedom. I wish it could be this way everywhere.

Lisa's comment below appears to modify the story substantially from her account in her earlier online conversation which I extracted verbatim, as published on Sandmonkey's log. It seems the parents, and not the photographers, were encouraging the children to draw flags and doodles on the shells, not messages, which were written by the parents . But, as she says, the presence of twelve photographers all eager to take shots, no doubt contributed significantly to the fact that it happened.
It's puzzling though, that the girls are adding to messages actually written by their parents in English. The comments are apparently addressed to Nasrallah, the Lebanese leader of Hezbollah, and regular threatener of death to Israel, rather than to the Lebanese people. I find it difficult to imagine the conversations between the parents and the children about writing messages to Nasrallah in English.
And how did the twelve photographers get to be there in the first place? Was it parents or photographers who made the encouraging remarks about "your cousins in America will see you?"
Why were the children allowed to get near the shells anyway? Does the IDF have some responsibility there?

Ummm...i smell something fishy about this. The IDF is a profesional army, and they would not allow kids near active artillery shells in a fire zone.
