Emotive Picture (NOT MY WORK)

[groovesection]

Firstly let me say i did NOT take this picture, (it is a screencap from a video)

After seeing the Israel / Palestinian conflict on the news i found this picture to be so emotive.
I am not looking for a debate on Israel / Palestine but this image really tugged my heart strings and is an indication of a perfect photograph!




The video it was taken from (NSFW, includes disturbing images of children)

Makes me thankful that my children have never had to be in that situation. The soldier has a wedding ring on too, I'd bet money he'd rather be sitting on a couch with his own daughters.

Very emotive indeed.

That video actually bought me to tears, What the **** is wrong with humanity

I hate to generalize, but one of the biggest problems with this (aside from the needless injuring of children, and people in general, of course), is that it breeds a circular result - which is 'what the **** is wrong with humanity'. When children are being subjected to these conditions, if they survive, they will grow up to be adults who subject children to these conditions.

Very sad.
