Chain letter
Translates: FW: Images of Israeli soldiers you will never see in a foreign newspaper
(pass it on)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Reading:
Israeli soldier reaching out to a child over a barricade
Soldier playing with a child, sitting at his eye-level, both casting same-length shadow.
Israeli soldier grabbing an old Arabic man in the arm, seems like a helping gesture
Other Israeli soldier helping out an elderly Arabic man over a barbed-wire fence
Repetition: Israeli soldier touching a little girl's hand
Culmination: Israeli higher ranking soldier shaking hands with Lebanese soldier, smiling in joy of (victory? satisfaction? what goes through his head? )
Finale: Israeli sodier petting a kitti-cat. My heart melts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What does this mean?
Israeli soldiers are well mannered, kind to children, the elderly and small animals.
What are they not showing you?
All of the above are non-threatening.
They are not showing you young men of fighting age being petted by Israeli soldiers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are promoting propaganda on every channel possible.
I stopped buying it.
Conclusion?
I don't know.
Bad, bad, citizen (of where?)
