Snippets: Children in War

Children in the Naamat Baka day care center in Jerusalem sing songs as an air raid siren sounds. (Drill) Both the Israelis and Palestinians are war-weary. But the emotional remnants of the 50-day conflict last summer remains.

The children of southern Israel are so dramatized that the Home Front Command decided not to sound this week’s sirens in Gaza border communities in fear of triggering trauma.

As difficult as these drills are most have shelters to run to in the midst of war, Gaza residents do not.

This war between the Palestinians and Israelis did not have to happen. When the UN was setting up an Israeli state, there would have been two states: one for Israel and one for Palestine. All Palestine had to do was recognize Israel. They would not, so they declared war. They didn’t want a separate state; they wanted it all.
