Reminder: Palestinians Hide Behind Children, Morbidly Embrace Death Porn (Plus: The Media Lies)

Child Abuse

We were doing a search on "Ramadan" for reasons totally unrelated to MR and hit upon this charming little bit of Palestinian death porn from Gateway Pundit (picture behind the link). A useful reminder of what kinds of things State Department professionals are willing to ignore - or be persuaded by - when they make their calculations:

[Caption:] The bodies of two Palestinian boys Yahya Ramadan Ghazal, 12, and his cousin Mahmud Mussa Ghazal, 10, is seen in the morgue of the Kamal Radwan hospital in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiya. Israeli fire killed the two Palestinian boys and wounded two of their cousins, nine-year-old Sarah Suleiman Ghazal, who was critically wounded, and a fourth child who suffered less serious injuries as they played in a field in the northern Gaza Strip at the tail end of their summer holidays.(AFP/Mahmud Hams)

[Actually], the two children were sent to retrieve the rocket launchers. The media did the rest.

It's all but impossible to get most media sources to mention the Israeli kids who are targeted by daily Palestinian bombings. But pictures of two dead Palestinian kids - killed when they were sent to retrieve Palestinian rocket launchers for future use against Israeli kids - that's apparently copy gold. Well, you go with what you're good at.
