"Posters Of Dead Sell Well In Gaza"
The men wearing these signs are advertising someone's dead baby. Take away the personal connection and that is what you are seeing here. Tell me what purpose does it serve other than keeping a wound open and desensitizing the murder of your enemy or any human life for that matter? And CBS loses points for putting "by Israel" in the title, you assume too much.
But don't worry, as one shop owner exclaims: the good times of high volume "business" won't last as "This will continue for a month or so, then we'll go back to the usual stuff and only 30 percent will be martyrs," he said. "They (the martyrs) might get less, but they don't go away." By getting less I suppose he means their posters won't bring home enough blood money. The human being is a commodity in arab country so be careful who you stand up for.
