When will the madness stop?

I came across this pic from this site with the caption "Israeli girls write messages to their neighbors" followed by some very graphic pics of Lebanese civilians who were killed. Sure there are photos out there of Palestinian children dressed in suicide vests but we're talking about Israel, they're supposedly our greatest ally in the Middle East. Allowing children to write messages on bombs is no better then Palestinians dressing their children up like suicide bombers. This photo in a nutshell is why there most likely never will be peace in the Middle East. You have a hatred that's handed down from generation to generation on both sides. Israeli and Muslim children are taught to hate each other from an early age. It's a vicious cycle. How does Israel think the Lebanese people are going to feel about Israeli's after Israel is finished going after Hezbollah and Lebanon is left in ruins? How is the Lebanese prime minister supposed to reign in Hezbollah when support for Hezbollah will be at an all time high thanks to Israel's bombing of Lebanon's infrastructure? It's really too bad that this President won't take an even handed approach when it comes to Israel.
