Two icons of war. The first should haunt the Israelis for a long time, and so it should.

There has never been world peace, there will never be world peace.
It’s an artificial concept that is too fragile and too at odds with basic human nature to be taken seriously.

Americans might be forgiven or at least understood for not thinking about Vietnam, given their country was fighting an fundamentally unwillable war against geurillas, and how they were fighting.
The little girl in the centre of that infamous image from the Vietnam War, had been severely burned by the Napalm incendiary gel that was one of the GIs' standard weapons; and here presumably responsible for the fire in the background. She was rescued, survived and I think is still alive.
Not that the Vietcong was much better.
While six decades on, out of site of cameras photographing an Israeli Defence Force soldier pointlessly smashing a Crucifixion statue, that man's mess-mates and Israeli illegal "settlers" are still killing Palestinians in Gaza.
