This photograph of Israeli children writing on artillery shells bound for targets in Lebanon has caused outrage among many bloggers, not least those from the Arab world.

The debate about the image has, of course, become part of the propaganda war that is running alongside the conflict.

“From the children of Israel, to the children of Lebanon, with love,” writes one Greek blogger, Mavrosgatos, showing the image above a very graphic photograph apparently showing the scorched corpse of a Lebanese child. “These [Israeli] children are raised with hatred instead of milk,” the blogger writes.
