what is wrong with the Arab leaders?

[kingofhearts143]

stupid saudi, egypt, jordan n other so called royal families....enjoying the luxuries of the world....by trading the lives of the innocent people.....cannot live happier any longer.....they will also die a very bad death...until they wake up n realize their responsibilities............

These so-called muslims leaders should wear bangles n jewelery of thier womens n go hide in their laps..instead of calling themselves leaders...if they cannot do annything for these innocent people being killed

Should do there what Britain did in India with the Death Cult.

Are those cluster bombs? I thought those were WMD? Or at least illegal to use against civilians? So, evidently Gaza is a military state?. Do they have helicopters or airplanes? Just curious?.. Kinda seems like an unfair fight. Similar to USA demolishing Iraq. I see no good in this "war". Seems like a slaughter and a humanitarian nightmare. Will this world ever know peace? If this escalates into a regional war, times are about to get real real bad. Humankind is failing.

Let's not forget these are US made war machines and also US tax payers money that are killing children and their parents in Gaza. Shame on us calling ourself Christian Nation. Jews will start War World III soon and as a result a lot of Christians and Muslems will die. WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIANS ARE WE????

That's true and that's what I was implying. Real change will happen when noble people of all backgrounds come together and do things, and this is, as you stated, something which is independent of ethnicity, religion, nationality, etc. If only people had an understanding of history, they wouldn't get too caught up in these weak superficial associations

as disappointing this seems to be for many:

it's just plain fact, throughout history.

but a few good people are still there,

and engage in protests and help,

regardless of faith or race.

as long as there is this conflict with israel they don't have to fear an uprising at home.

much anger and focus goes to israel, as well as the conflict is an attempt for israeli leaders to keep the country from a civil war.

both arab countries + israel face increasing social tensions, not just the u.s. and europe.

so: the worse it's inside the more useful are wars - history shows that all over the world

DEATH TO ISRAEL

[biggerflexible]

If they try to stop Israel with force they have two choices 1) Nuclear attack from IDF 2) Ruin their chances to establish a relationship with Obama.
