One of the things that struck me was the scene at the "lookout" at Sderot, where Israelis go to see for themselves the devastation of Gaza.

It provides a surreal contrast between the three smiling, happy Israeli girls being photographed with Gaza's ruins in the background and the just prior scene of little 18-month old emaciated, crying Mohammed in Gaza. The Mom's fruitless hunt for baby formula vs the easy access to refreshments - the vending machine- at Sderot...

The symbolic contrast - and the meaning - could not be clearer.
