One Photo Explains Everything
This little boy is four years old, just like my son. I am teaching my son to respect others, to value differences, and to resolve conflict with reason. Sadly, this little boy's mother is teaching him to hate, to conspire, and to kill. That is why I will also have to teach my sons about force, violence, self-defense, and preemption.
Want to know why there aren't two morally-equivalent sides in our middle-east wars?
Want to know why Israel is right and the intifada wrong?
Just look at the photograph.
Next time you're tempted to give money in support of palestine, think about where it goes.

Don't worry, the closest I've ever gotten to giving money to Palestinian causes is a donation to Hadassah Hospital. But come on, you don't think you couldn't take a similar photo of a kid with a toy gun anywhere in America (granted, not with the black-clad women behind him)? There are better arguments to be made against supporting Palestinian causes than a little kid with a toy gun.

It's not the kid with the gun, Adam. It's the fact that his mother took him to the conspiracy meeting of palestinian Women United to Blow Up Jews, or whatever they call it. That's what my kids will face: enemies who mothers voluntarily orphaned them to kill innocents.
The toy gun is just a visual. The meeting is the horror.

I can't take it anymore. I am not having kids because of idiots like you. I simply don't think humanity is going to make it. Why do people think the way you do despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary? I give up.

Well, Anonymous, I'm sorry to upset you, but I think you may have been confused by something. You see, I am not the one attending murder conspiracy meetings and teaching my children to kill innocents. You probably meant to direct your rhetoric to the burka-clad murder mothers in the photo I linked.
And if you're giving up, don't forget to do something useful in your will before you OD on Thorazine: designate a nice charity for the funds. How about Magen David Adom?
