I was chatting with someone I talk to about politics and send him that picture. Now I'm embroiled in an argument about "it's staged" and "israel doesn't kill anyone" (actual quotes). Kill me now.

At its simplest level, its an unarmed man and child being killed by gunfire as they cower in fear. Thats all I meant.

Lets not kid ourselves here, though. Of the parties involved one side has a distinct tract record for 'collateral' damage and they were likely the culprits behind the murder

Not so fast! You see, the White House put out a video to let people know what Obama would be doing on the trip. The video included this map of the region.

That landmasses are blue and land is grey except for Israel making the image confusing as gently caress? At least they labeled Israel correctly by borders.

You're absolutely right. One side does have a track record of killing civilians.

Its so depressing. One of the reasons Bradley Manning's ordeal gets to me is when I think about it with myself in his shoes. If I came across a video showing guys in an attack helicopter acting like 8 year olds in front of a playstation, murdering journalists, then shooting up a guy who happens to drive by and wanted to help the wounded. I would have thought that this is it. This is the imagery that will get Americans to think differently about war. Weather or not I would have had the balls to do what he did is up for debate, but I would have felt the same.

So the guy puts his life on the line, probably based largely on the same nauseating feeling that we get looking at that father and son behind an inadequate barrier. And then people come out of the woodwork, not to defend him, but the scumbags in that helicopter. Its a sad realization that a large portion of your peers have the capacity to see images like that without feeling anything.

Found this ad on The Economist's website. I give them points for creativity but I feel like showing a wild animal cradeling a baby is a more unsettling image than they realize. It makes me think of danger, not security. It doesn't help that the baby looks scared.

Still, you gotta love how bizarre this looks, regardless of whether its a good advertisement.
