Israel's Human Rights Attention

The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, in an unusual move sure to be deemed controversial, took out a full-page, obituary-style ad in Friday's edition of the Haaretz daily in protest of the Israeli offensive in Gaza.

The page was divided into numerous obituaries lamenting the death of Palestinian children of various ages, and featuring the word "Stop" in bright red in its middle.




"The point was to convey the basic, universal and humanitarian message of the (operation's) impact on the civilian population. Children are everyone's soft spot and therefore we chose to focus on them," ACRI Spokeswoman Nirit Moskovitz told

Anything slightly similar on the other side?

BTW, if you see Joe the Plumber around, send him to Gaza, they have a lot of plumbing work to do. :)
