While I don't condone any group that supports the killing of people not directly involved in their conflict (shoppers, tourists, commuters, bystanders etc), I do accept believe that Palestinians have been beaten with the sharp end of a shitty stick for a long time. I am not horrified by this TV programme, although I do admit it's sad.
I would assume that this isn't mainstream TV, and children are probably sat down to watch it by parents who regularly promote the same views to their children in their own homes. Wouldn't devoutly Christian Americans feel the same if they living in the same situation?

Hamas can flout Israel, the UN and the US, but they are biting off more than they can chew, when they screw with Disney. Hell, I've seen Disney make a seed grow into a plant and die in 45 seconds.

It is stuff like this that pisses me off. I am not talking about the brainwashing (which I strongly disagree with), or knowing that this is just a response to Israeli oppression, but why the hell is a resistance/terror organization in control of the media and other social services. This same problem is what let Hezbollah gain so much power in Lebanon.
One big reason these groups have so much power is that they provide social services to their people. If Israel, America, UN, or whoever else wanted to help this problem, they would be the ones helping to provide the social services. While I do not agree with Israel being in control of Palestine's media, I do think they should at least provide social services if they are going to occupy land that is not solely theirs. Rkzenrage - For this instance, I believe they are only using Allah as an excuse to gain support for their cause and are not actually doing it because they believe Allah wants them too. |

Rk - I can't hear youtube videos, so I can't tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me, sorry.

RK - the difference between your videos and mine is that there is no religious indoctrination in the videos that I posted. The videos don't instruct children in Islam. They instruct them in resistance. The children sing songs about death and using AK-47s against the enemy.

Teaching kids self respect for their culture is a good thing, but using them as pawns is another thing all together.
If Ricky the Rat isn't careful, the Israelis are going to put a hellfire missile on his tail.

Wanna see some fun stuff about good old American Christian indoctrination? Watch "Jesus Camp". Its extra scary for me because the people who run it live about ten minutes down 350 Highway from my house.

The Palestinians are pawns for Syria and especially Jordan. If it were only the Palestinians and Israel, the matter would have been resolved long ago.
Syria and Jordan want the Palestinians for pawns, and they are going to keep them as pawns. Iran's in the pawn business too, though with less visible national interest at stake. Should Syria and Jordan be conquered and vanish as political entities? Will this make the problem solvable?

No, Israel will not give up their land and Palestine will not accept being pushed off their land. That is the main problem and will be the main problem no matter if Syria and Jordan are using Palestine as pawns or not.

True enough as it stands, Pierce. But what if Syria and Jordan couldn't keep the Palestinians as they are any more? That's where my point about if it were solely Israel and the Palestinians arises.
