We were disturbed by some AP photographs of an anti-Israel rally in the Lebanese refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh. Taken earlier today, the images of Palestinian children holding real and toy guns speak for themselves.
The caption reads:
A Palestinian child wearing a head band with the Arabic words ‘Jerusalem for us’ holds a real gun during an anti-Israeli demonstration in Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp near Sidon, in southern Lebanon, Monday, May 9, 2005. Palestinian children demonstrated Monday for the refugees’ right of return to their hometowns and against Jewish hardliners who have threatened to enter the Jerusalem shrine revered as the Haram al-Sharif or Noble Sanctuary by Muslims and Temple Mount by Jews.

As Golda Meir once said, “We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.” For more info about this, see TeachKidsPeace.
