The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Nearly 50% of Seventh Grade Children in Gaza Now Want to be "Resistance Fighters" (read Hamas)
Great job leaders of Israel!
From Binny Netanyahu to the deadly trio, the 2009 election has been about who promises to kill more militants, no matter how many innocent children get in the way.
But the grand spectacle of Israel burning Muslim flesh in the last few weeks has only brought incredible suffering to the children and hardened their hearts against reconciliation as now 7 out of 15 school aged children want to be Hamas style militants.
See Washington Post's For Children of Gaza, Scars to Last a Lifetime (free registration required).
(The entire report is good. Read at site. Free registration may be required.)
In other news from the report, Israel says it has appointed lawyers to protect its military members accused of war crimes. I guess that's suppose to scare the world and maybe it will. That's why the community acting to boycott and divest from Israel is always a good idea. World leaders can be cowed by belligerent nations. The entire mass of angry people can't.
Okay, I've found a usenet copy of the same report (text only, of course)
The Post report (and it's copy, of course,) talks about a photo of a torn and burned baby's body. I've seen the photo, though they don't show it. Now we know the name of the poor child. In the picture the baby's arms are out in the classic baby alarm pose, which should make any person who has held a baby sick to understand the horror and pain inflicted on the tyke. In the same section the report also notes that IDF graffiti in that destroyed home where the baby died did not rail against Hamas or Muslims, but said they were sorry. One cannot predict or control many of the horrors of wars. It would be well if leaders remembered that and resist their impulses to go to war to win an election.
