Frustrated Palestinians?

No, they're in Berlin, in a pro-Palestinian march.

Thank you Undertoad!

Maybe it's symbolic for how desperate people have to get to do such a thing; maybe the girl's father is trying to tell us just how a man has to feel before strapping explosives to his own family to express his despair. I don't think anyone in the middle east is quite ready to send 6-year old girls into suicide missions. Yet. But we are getting there. Extremism isn't fuelled by anger and hatred only; despair and hopelessness are very powerful driving forces as well.

Personally, I think that the 'explosive girl' doing the peace sign is as meaningful a metaphor for what's going on in the middle east as anything could ever hope to be: if she understands what the sign means that she's making (and it's not just staged propaganda), there's still some hope.

X.

It's the peace sign in the US... elsewhere, it's the Victory sign.

Turn the hand around, and it's the bird in the UK.

Boo at you Undertoad. You just ruined my day's humor =/

Sorry man... the world is a tad less ironic and a tad more tragic, eh?

Turn the hand around, drop the forefinger and it's "Greetings fellow motorist" in the US.

No, that's only if you are careless

. Probably, it could only take your heard right off if 50% of the cookie dough was tabasco sauce/jalepano extract/miscellaneous other spices.

Actually, I think she plans to kill them with high cholesterol and hardened arteries. Who knows? Maybe she plans to open a Quickie-Mart and bleed them with high prices and out-dated tofu-dogs.

In an update to this picture, German police are looking for the father of the girl to charge him with "condoning acts of violence."
