It's Beslan, and no, I haven't forgotten. The same ideology that caused the horror in Beslan also caused the horror in Qana. Here are some photos of the Beslan massacre:

Suffer the Little Children to Come Unto Me
"And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God."
(Mark 10:13-14)
Jesus did not say suffer the children to come unto Him, except those born to Muslim parents. Remember the children of Beslan, Russia? The people to blame for this morning's tragedy are the Islamofacist ADULTS, men who commit wanton slaughter and the women -- the women who let their men strap bombs on their children, and who teach their children to commit murder-suicide. Condem them, but pray for the innocents, for whom there is NO choice.
Are you over there?
I remember. I remember the hundreds of children in the school in Beslan, Russia, that were shot in the back by Islamofacists of the Chechen variety. I remember the American children who died on 9/11/01. I remember all the innocents slaughtered by the Islamofacists.
But this doesn't mean I am incapable of being just as saddened and moved by these photos as I was of the photos of the dead children of Beslan. Some of these are very evocative of the ones from Beslan -- and Oklahoma City, for that matter.
This thread is the rare one today that is not about fixing blame, but about reflecting on the innocent children whose lives were lost.
........ interresting point!
I agree with you.
I can't think of a better illustration of the differences between the two sides than that graphic.

Thank you for that, Wolfstar!
A good cross-link. Thanks. I think if we lose our ability to be sickened by photos such as these, we lose our souls. Simply because the Islamofacist adults are the scum of the earth, doesn't mean we have to lose sight of our own humanity.

You're welcome, sea. Unfortunately, it's a message that will be lost too easily here on FR.
It's good ..... but it is an oversimplification and so easy with which to agree.
The answer is that these children were all deliberately murdered by Hezbollah for a media photo op, look at the intentional posing of the famous Beslan pics.
I have some pictures of MY OWN GRANDCHILDREN who were forced out of their home in Safed when Hezbollah rockets hit the house next door.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
forgot to ping the list.
screw that...
These are children.
Despite the sins of their fathers, I SERIOUSLY doubt these toddlers did ONE DAMN THING to anyone.
You need to check your hate.
Two tragedies don't make a right.
I can hear them now.
"Turn this way and hold him up"
"ok, now turn to the left....look upset...."
disgusting.
I sometimes wonder, fear actually, we have become so hardened against our enemies that we are, in a sense, no better than they are when it comes to the innocent ones living among them.
Please, don't get me wrong. I am all for eradicating those that seek to destroy us and Israel. But, like you, I feel sadness at the loss of innocent lives, the children, whether they be Israeli or Arab.
The images.
God, I don't know......I can't swallow.
