"blind, deaf, and dumb." In fact, why am i even bothering with this - you're calling me silly names and saying things that are simply not true. "Jews illegal land in the first place" - silly.

[zo1dberg]

"Our wonderful media is teaching us to not feel sympathy for these people" you're kidding me, right? Right now the MSM no longer uses the word "terrorist" when describing someone who commits an act of terror - they call them "separatist rebels" or "militants" etc. but _not_ terrorists. There is plenty of MSM sympathy for the Palestinians, don't you worry.

Taking comfort in their God by strapping a suicide bomb to yourself?! come on!

It's easy to see that their situation is their own doing - well, the doing of their warlords who command them to go fight the Jews. Instead of spending money (much of it donated by the west) on weapons to destroy Israel, perhaps they can spend it on ways to make themselves prosper and fight unemployment, don't you think?

And if you think the Palestinians are the only ones doing the brainwashing, then you must be even more blind, deaf, and dumb. Our wonderful media is teaching us to not feel sympathy for these people by labelling them as terrorists, which is because of the mess we created by giving Jews illegal land in the first place. If London gets taken over by a bunch of Muslims, we'll only be reaping what we've sown.

[TerranWraith]

If you had 70% unemployment, what would you do? If all you've known since you were born is how to live under occupation, what would you do? Taking comfort in their God seems only natural.

[TerranWraith]

Perhaps it's their way of seeing hope in a hopeless situation. If your life's f'ed up and it's going to stay f'ed up - if you can't go to school or the grocery store - what would you do?

[zo1dberg]

If "they're fighting for their right to live!", then why does their media encourage their children to seek "martyrdom" and become suicide bombers for the cause of Allah? I do have a heart, and it breaks my heart to see a 4 year old say that Islam will dominate and that they want to die as "martyrs". I also have a set of eyes - i suggest you open yours, there's plenty of videos on youtube of this hostile brainwashing by Palestinian media.

withdrawal = occupation? is this some new type of newspeak?

the fascistinians simply need to agree to peace. Israel already agreed to return to 67 in year 2000 by PM Ehud Barak. Arafat rejected that offer by opening this ongoing war, setting his people back from  15% year on year economic growth, to the arms of Hamas , extremism and poverty.

It got him a Peace nobel price.

this delusional fool would do his country more good digging ditches or working a coal mine in wales. at least he would produce some minuscule value.

[TerranWraith]

I thought it was a great one actually. Or do you think Andrew Phillips was lying?
