"Don’t be shallow by saying: if people do good, we will do good; and if they do wrong, we will do wrong; but accustom yourselves to do good if the people do good, and not to do wrong if they do wrong."
hey AJ...why are the palestinian coffins BLACK and the israeli coffins white...I dont mean to look too deep but it seems to me that there is an insinuation being overlooked here...why didnt they make them all white or all black to signify that the loss of human life is the same may it be a jew or a musalmaan?

Good observation but if they hadn't differentiated the two coffins then people would have complained that the ratio of massive difference between the Pelestinian/Isreali death ratio have not been underlined.
Proves that point that you can never make everyone happy!

If it were left in the hands of the public… I doubt we’d ever have war..disagreements ..YES…but such large scale destruction…I don’t think so.
Just a handful of people rile up the community… and we all know it is those at the top that benefit from it…
Later on..they’ll be popping open their champagne bottles while thousands lie dead!
