"kids were in bomb shelters for days. city is a ghost town.
only poor people stayed
a new army unit arrived, kids were bored, went out with parents to look
there were TWELVE photographers there
and they egged the kids on
the kids are low class, not educated, have never met a Lebanese, just want to live their lives, don't understand why Lebanon attacked their home, etc.
the photographers told them "hey, your cousins in america will see you!"
mostly foreign photographers
so the kids, who were bored and restless and had been cooped up in bomb shelters for 5 days, took the felt markers and drew messages to nasrallah
there were no cries of hatred toward lebanese
and a big problem is that the israeli tv does not show dead lebanese. it shows destroyed buildings, but not dead bodies. so no one has a face of the dead in their minds. too aware of our own suffering, etc.

make sense?"
Yes it does. Sadly...
That's the most honest and realistic explanation I've read. Gracia
