What can be done for these kids, if anything?

This sounds so cynical, and I take no sides in this highly politicized issue,
but to me, it's just as likely to be an Israeli propaganda stunt.  Anybody
could dress up a baby that way and take its picture, knowing how some people
will believe anything they read in the media.  There is only one motivation
for publishing a photograph like that and it is propaganda.  And whose cause
benefits from the emotions generated by the propaganda?  Just connect the
dots. . .
Of course, this is really off topic for PedTalk (except as it relates to the
issue of the exploitation of children); my apologies.
