Those images have lately been replaced by ones of shivering, waiflike children holding a candlelight protest against Israel's blackout of large parts of Gaza. The kids are a reminder that not all of Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinians are gunmen, and that Israel's prolonged economic blockade of the territory is taking a heavy toll on civilians.
