Nashwan, serious question, do you think photos like this that portray a soldier pointing a rifle at a child (which he is not, he's checking his rifle) tend to sway young minds into a fury
No. I think people who want to be swayed into a fury will be, no matter what picture you show them. People who don't will require much more than a simple picture like that.
nashwan... what polices worse than apartheid are these poor arabs living under?
Closures, for one. Roads reserved for Jews only, for another. Curfews, for a third. Different systems of courts, for a fourth. And Lazs, they're not even allowed to own guns! The horror!
sky... generalize? sure.... I'm generalizing.... I generalize that most gang members here are scum and that most jews here are worthless socialists compared to those jews...
Isn't that sort of the opposite of the old prejudice against Jews? That the Ashkenazi weren't too bad, but the oriental Jews were monsters?
My apologies. I meant travel to and work in Israel.
Most Palestinians have problems trying to travel to and work in the next town.
Maybe in a perfect world where no one wore bombs.
Oh, collective punishment, you mean? Perhaps you could drive the blacks out of America, because they deal drugs?
I never said anything about ethnic cleansing. That was a ridiculously pompous statement.
Huh? You said:
Maybe Israel should just boot them all out, lock the door, put up a few more barriers,
Ethnic cleansing The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society, as by deportation, forced emigration, or genocide.
Sounds like an Editorial or an opinion piece?
Editorial. Based on James Wolfensohn's letter of a few days ago (Wolfensohn is the US peace envoy, appointed by Bush)
maybe that is because they are to busy trying to kill the jews thanto create a country for themselves where they could work and be productive Palestines instead of having to go into Israel for jobs as the biggest "Pal industry" is bombing making...
What, you mean like run the greenhouses in Gaza, export the produce for cash? Read Wolfehsohn's report. Israel is restricting all movement of goods into or out of Palestinian areas, is dragging it's feet on looking at easing the restrictions, and doing so deliberately.
if the mexicans became suicide bombers, the US would be pointing guns at every strawberry picker too, and if they didn't, there would be an uproar as to why not
Invade Mexico, put it under military occupation, restrict movement, establish settlements. See if the Mexicans remain friendly.
looks like this one got his five a day limit .. why don't you give him a big high five!
Because I don't like terrorism. I don't like oppresion either, so
I won't be high-fiving either side.
If my neighbor had a dog that kept attacking my kids and he refused to do anything about you'd bet I'd march my happy bellybutton on his property and shoot it myself.
And this analogy applies to Palestinians how? Do you think the child in the picture is a rabid dog? Do you think the Palestinians are a single entity with a single aim and all responsible for the same actions?
By the same token, are all Jews responsible for the actions of some Jews? Do the Jews killed in the terrorist attack today deserve to die because of the actions of other Jews?
Myself, I think people are individuals, and punishing all for the actions of some is wrong. The Geneva convention says the same.
