The Mirror newspaper today...

A SOBBING boy tries to comfort his mum moments after an Israeli helicopter gunship blasted their van as they fled the bombing blitz.

Blood-covered Ali Shaiti, 14, pleaded: "Mummy don't die, mummy don't die," as he held Muntahi in his arms surrounded by the surviving members of their family at the roadside.

Yards away lay the wreckage of the van the family had hoped would carry them to safety away from Israeli attacks on Hizbollah.

Inside were the bodies of Ali's father, grandmother and another male relative.

A photographer, who found the family yesterday, said: "We heard some thuds and explosions. We came into Tyre and an ambulance was there.

"There were people on the side of the street, there was blood on their faces. The van had received a direct hit." End.

I've seen the photos of the grief and despair on the face of this 14 year old boy. The knowledge that his Father already lies dead and the heartbreaking agony of the prospect of losing his Mother, who he cradles in his arms, is a powerful image.

And for what? The soldiers captured by Hizbollah?
BULLSHIT!!!

I read a quote recently..."The world goes mad when two Israeli soldiers are taken, yet Israel took an entire nation."

There's an agenda going on here and it's got nothing to do with the captured soldiers...
