A group of Palestinian children were sent towards the Gaza Strip border fence holding toy guns on Thursday in order to test the vigilance of the soldiers on duty.
In case you've been to college lately and think that the Japanese were treated thusly only because they have different color skin and look different, consider our similar treatment of the European, white, blond-haired, blue-eyed, Christian Germans: we firebombed their cities and killed them where ever we could find them, if they fought from bunkers or pillboxes we burned them alive inside with flamethrowers, we bombed their cities into rubble as a matter of strategy, and-again, listen up because this is important-when they hid snipers, troops or supplies in Christian churches we utterly destroyed them, even when they were ancient and culturally priceless cathedrals. And when we were done, we divided the country into four zones, occupied our portion of it, ruled it directly, hung their former leaders, determined on our own who would be allowed to take part in German public life from that point forward and warned the public that more death and destruction would be forthcoming if they dared heed the calls of the last Nazi holdouts to fight a guerrilla war. There was a small German insurgency even so; it was ruthlessly suppressed within two years.
