Apparently the little boy is dead
In Beit Hanon, his house was made to a rubble by a missile
his stricken sister laid besides his tiny head
His foot dangles by a thread
Tanks, F16 and cluster bombs
That is to say the little boy and his sister are dead
His face , as if in sleep becalmed but red
his mother rocked him in her arms, the final bed
soon his little pure body will be
wrapped by green, black, white and red
"Israel is sorry," Olmert said
The World:"Israel has the right for itself to defend
Look, if you dare!See? The little boy and his sister are dead

The choice is for the Palestinians. If they choose to stop firing AlQassam rockets into our towns then these accidents would not happen in the first place. Israel has no policy for targeting civilians.Period
P.s Your post is biased
Anon,
That was not a political post. I meant to capture a tragic loss of innocnet lives that we all should mourn.
Peace to you
Even if Israel does not target civilians as you said, it is still morally responsible for the death of those innocent lives. One is still responisble for the death of other civilians if he choose to DIU( dirve under influence) even though he has no intentions for killing them at the first place. Israel should realize by now that bombarding civilian areas will kill civilians. We had Enough of this shit.
Samara,
If I placed my child in the car with a drunk driver who would have more responsibility for the death of my child if there was an accident? Me, the sober mother,or the drunk driver?
Your post captures exactly the tragedy of children caught in the middle of war. They deserve better. Surely no mother could read your poem or look at those little faces and not feel crushing sadness and loss. Lynne
Lynne, thanks for your responce. It is truly sad for children to get invovled early in their life with this never ending cycle of violence. THe sad part really that they are the future of the region and these tragic losses won't help at all to raise peace loving upcoming generation.
