POPSOn the Israeli girls scrawling messages on tank shells Blogger Lisa Goldman talked to a journalist present at Kiryat Shmona, the scene where photos of pretty girls happily scrawling messages on tank shells were taken. Goldman gives context to the photos: 1. The people remaining in the town had stayed in underground bomb shelters for five days, experiencing constant bombardment in that period. 2. The girls and their families had emerged from the bomb shelter that day, and journalists had descended on the town as anarmy unit moved in shell Lebanon across the border. 3. A couple of the parents had written "To Nasrallah With Love" on the shells, 12 photographers moved in, the parents handed the markers to the girls, who also decorated the shells as the photographers snapped their pictures. 4. Nobody had said (or written) anything about the Lebanese people, just Nasrallah (the leader of Hezbollah). To them, the shells represented the end of the bombardment they had experienced.
