I dont think americans would relish the thought of having to survive continually with what the foregoing pictures portray.... I believe that your formative years are primarily subject to what you are being subjected to ....... the above pictures do not strick me as being away to induce a peacifull solution....... im quite sure there are alot of pictures that can be shown of israilis might.. eg ... planes , tanks ect......... but with the past history of isralis struggle with its sourrounding neighbours that is the only way of survival ... think of it this way... what if mexico acted in the same mannner, eg... look at what wars we have fought in forgein countries with the concept of keeping america safe... if the arabs would lay down their arms... there would be peace...... if the israilis lay down their arms there would be no more israil.....
These picture are horrid, they don't look like civilians at all more like a cult of blood thirsty thugs and gangsters. The precious hearts of the little Kindergarten Jihads are already filled with hate that's so wrong.
You dumd Sh!&, that happens to be the biggest Jail in the World, run by the New Facist Regime in Tel Aviv.
They and their children are trapped, given just enough food so they don't starve, rationed electricity so their
not in total darkness, and the young have no future, they cannot go to any University, they cannot fly a plane, they cannot go boating or go to the movies. They are targets for those COWARDS in the IDF and their
RACIST government, and the American public is duped into giving these RACIST FACIST 7 billion annually.
Oh put a sweaty sock in it, tetsonny.
Hamas, is in charge of the Gaza strip.
You dumb excuse of a human being tetsonny I see some fat arabs in that crowd so I doubt they are starving. They look like crazy lunatics and they need to give up their violent quest to destroy Israel and murder all her non-arab citizens and stop overpopulating that would help.
Hi kpr
Tetsonny, your ignorance is beyond belief! This is another in the ongoing proof of the hate and culture of the backward and corrupt culture of islam. Killing non believers, cruelty, subjugation of women, corruption of government, and the highest rates of illiteracy in the modern world. Islam, the scourge of the earth, you muslim scum should look to the civilized countries who have succeeded and prospered and compare them to the miserable, backward, failed states of islam. Admire the Israelis who have made an educated, prosperous nation in the midst of the worthless, hate filled muslim nations. Wake up world!~
Yeah...Too bad it's outta my price range.

“if the Arabs lay down their arms there would be peace, if Israel lays down its arms there’d be no Israel”
Wow maybe Cornwallis should have used a variation of that line on the American colonialist
“if the colonialists lay down their there can be peace, if the Royal Army lays down its arms they’d be no colonies” would it work? Or maybe Lincoln could have used it on the South
“if the South lays down its arms there’d be peace, if the Union lays down its arms there’d be no Union” again does that sound convincing?
If not then why the hell does anyone think that such a statement has any real baring on the reality of the situation, after all I bet you that the Arab view of “if the Arabs lay down their arms” is that if they did there would be peace, because Israel would take all their land and keep them oppressed for eternity.
Losmuertos, neither Cornwallis nor Lincoln ever called for the complete destruction of the American Colonies or the Southern United States.

You have completely missed the point; the Palestinian people just like the people of the colonies or south have no reason to trust the sincerity of the other side, which means they will refuse to give up their only method of defence just like the south and colonials did. Therefore this whole argument that if Israel’s opponents gave up their weapons there would peace is nothing more then baseless propaganda aimed at securing Israel the international moral high ground as from the Palestinian/Arab point of view they need their weapons to protect themselves from the ambitions of Israel.
if they want violence, they will definitely get violence by seeding the seeds of hate into every generation. While Arabs that live in Israel i hope and probably do have a different mentality. There is no way peace is plausible if you teach hate instead of reasoning.
These people are the saddest things I have seen in a long time!!! What hate do these faces portray!! The little ones should be having fun as children and the women are as crazy as the rest of them..They do not even know they are oppressed!! Mohammy was a pervert and criminal,so what does that tell you about their worship?? Poor people do not know they are lost and prayers only go to the ceiling and no higher!! SAD!!
Pic 1 is a fake. Pic 2 " please dad, take your hand outta my arse so i can go play..." Pic 3 " wheres my jewish dentist " Pic 4 ...creepy kid. Pic 5 a scene from Star Wars
Looks like a target rich environment to me
Looking at the pictures of those fat men who can't possibly be starving and are dressed in modern day clothing, the women are wearing clothing that still pertain to being 'locked up' from the biblical days. What does that tell you about how they are treated?? The presidents and their cohorts eat and drink plenty and let their own people starve. The children are taught to kill at a very early age and to hate. These idiots are nothing more than cowards and barbarians and taught the world is square.
Jihad...It really means sunshine and puppies.
im satisfied their are still a lot of sane intelligent people left in the world... by the comments of the above it does not make me happy to realize what the pictures portray... but if more people realize what is actually happening...... it does lessen the chances of growth in this type of cancer .......
Well what a lovely propaganda piece this is, funny but I doubt it’ll have the same negative impact on the Arab world as it has had here on MSNBC. But still I do have to ask, why is it the people here always look at the Israel, Palestine issue as an action/reaction situation? Has it not occurred to any of you that both parties are not only acting but also reacting to the actions of the other? That in this case these people hate Israel because of the actions of Israel?
In all both sides are guilty of creating the environment of hatred that is so prevalent in that part of the world
No, it's because the quran tells them to hate;
Teufelhund
Of course how silly of me, I forget that the world is one dimensional and that Gaza is in a vacuum where the only influence is the Quran.
lets for a moment put aside all th politial ramification and do a practicle study based on figures and throw in a bit of common sense........ look at the map of the middle east.... observe the huge unoccuppied land mass, check on the population.... ethnic background... religion.... check on its oil, exports and were these large sums end up...... now lets make a comparison to the land mass .. eg..... what consists of isrealLand the land mass of the immediate countries...... lets make a comparison what isreal has occompolished in a short time withm a bit of sand and only five million people...... ouestion are the israilis running around killing each other with so called arab spring..... there are one hundred and twenty nine jews who are nobel prize winners in all the scinces.... only five arabs....... as silly as it seems all those people running around with that little phone glued to there ears ... that was invented in isreal plus alot more in medical engeering and chemical engineeering...... the only reason i bring this up dosnt it seem rediculous with so little population they need to go to,war to claim more land with no population to occupy it and much less after such a war...... now i ask this question.... based on the standard of living in the middle east israils is the highest... except for the very few that control the oil flow in the sourrounding countries..... dosnt common scense if you lived there.. war is of no gain especaily if you dont have the necessary population to lose...... a last point dosnt it make good sense not o have to spend a fantastic amount of money on arnements to protect your people if it was not required.......... I believe the problem is instigated by those who do not want change and the evidence lies in all the unrest taking place in the so called arab spring..... just maybe its beginning to become obovious in arab countries something is wrong,,,,,,,,,,,,,
