I find it utterly amazing that the international community sees fit to consider the arrest of senior IDF officials for their part in defending their country, but does not see fit to arrest for similar actions those who terrorize in the name of ideology.
In watching the events of the last three weeks as portrayed by the international media, I cannot help but remember the front page of the New York Times "Sunday Magazine" section shortly after 9/11, at a time when the country 
Where is the international outcry against indoctrinating children?
and the world was traumatized by the enormity of the terrorist attacks against a country foreign to the attackers. Startling and horrifying was the image of children, less than three years old, with bullet belts around their waists being encouraged to crawl on their bellies, with the accompanying message from their fathers that when they came of age, they too would become the next generation of suicide bombers; that they would be rewarded with martyrdom for their actions.
Fatherhood is a privilege; and as I watched the unfolding of events in Gaza, I could not get that image out of my mind. Fatherhood is translated into ideology, and ideology takes place through indoctrination, even if that means indoctrinating children under the age of three to grow up and kill. And reinforcement is given through "sweets" when those around are starving.
Children are taught to associate candy with killing, a powerful message indeed. These same children have now come of age; and it is now not just bullets, but mortars and rockets.
Where is the international outcry against indoctrinating children, even while they are still in the womb, to espouse an ideology that encourages murder? I am sickened by photographs of children being rewarded by their fathers to the accompanying message that murder for a cause will bring them rewards in heaven.
While the international community is busy railing about Israel's war crimes, their deafening silence on the indoctrination of children is outrageous.
In all cultures, the father son relationship is sacred. But in the world of terrorist fatherhood, instead of being taught to love your neighbor as yourself, young children are taught that they can earn their place in heaven not through peace, love and understanding, but by murdering their neighbors, and wiping those neighbors' country off the face of the earth.
How in the world will we ever maintain a sustaining peace if this indoctrination continues? The rockets might stop, but the message will not die. My soul cries, for them and for us. As long as children are indoctrinated into an ideology that calls for the universal murder of "the other", and approves plowing those "others" into the sea, we will have no peace.
The issue is not the peace agreements or the pseudo-truces; the issue is when terrorists are going to value their children above their hatred.
