          what exactly are they writing?

          sorry its hard to judge a picture of kids writing things on bombs without knowing what exactly theyre saying.

            what's leaving me speechless it the us government which is fucking everything the europe is trying to do to stop this war, just because they are economic partners with israel.

            kids writing stuff on bombs don't know what they are doing.

                  I've seen these before. Shocking indeed. hyakamaru: One of the missiles says From Israel and Daniele; the others are in Herbrew. Where are these kids parents?? This is the world; it's a war between Arabs and Israel. And we can't fix it.

                    So I can say something against that without being labeled as anti-Semitic? Right on. Reminds me of a document I just saw where american, or was it british, soldiers wrote loads of crap on their bombs. Which they later dropped on people.

                    it's a war between Arabs and Israel. And we can't fix it.

                    Perhaps we can't but we can give tools to fix it. And it was us who really broke it to begin with.

                      Giving Israel its own state was one of the biggest mistakes in world history.

                      It's not their fault or anything, but making Israel a nation the way we did was incredibly stupid.

                        Yeah, can't really blame that fucking sycho Ahmadinejad when he says arabs actually paid for a crime commited by europeans.

                        This is going to get ugly, especially here in europe where tensions between communities will arise once more. Life is beautiful.

                          I heard about that on CNN, from what i understood it was a isolated incident, but still, letting children write those things on bombs, fucking bombs, that have already killed more than 400 innocent lebonese, it just made me sick.
                          I am not angry on the parent's of those children, because they were not there, but the fucking military, that had no problems with that.

                              Oh thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way.

                              As far as the current conflict goes though, I think this entire Israel/Lebanon thing is good for showing the US that no-fucking-way is Israel the total helpless puppy in the midst of all the AY-RABS – that picture's just about on rank with me with those of little five-year-old boys with uzis ready to storm out. Yeesh.

                                  It's a shame that the Daily Show isn't real news, isn't it. 😛

                                  There's too much conflict in the area for that to ever work, unless we're talking like after a hundred years of peace.

                                    I was thinking that too. It's suposed to be the holy land. It should belong to everyone.

                                      Bomb the lot of 'em. Okay, it's a bit harsh. But they don't seem to listen to reason or logic. They don't listen when the EU or the UN tells them to stop. So blow 'em up.

                                          No one gives a crap abt what the UN has to say nowadays. Since obviously the US has more say and power to everything than they do.

                                            Ummm, precision strikes only go so far when Hezbollah INTENTIONALLY places every rocket launcher/command bunker next to or under a residence or civilian target.

                                            An Israel has never been a helpless puppy, it has long had the best trained and equipped military force in that part of the world. Not to mention nukes.

                                              I'm quite worried about the state of our world with pictures like this.
                                              I simply can't believe that would seem okay to anyone.

                                              I'm not really sure about the political points of the situation, I'm kind of clueless to world events, but that picture and the quote just leaves me speechless.

                                                I should be disgusted, but it's honestly no suprise.

                                                    No one gives a crap abt what the UN has to say nowadays. Since obviously the US has more say and power to everything than they do.

                                                    ya, and a lot of people don't like the US.

                                                    this is a sad picture indeed, but I think the kitty stomping thread disturbed me more. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, or a bad thing….

                                                        It's a shame that the Daily Show isn't real news, isn't it. 😛

                                                        But that's no reason to discredit it's opinions. They actually do seem to know what they're talking about, but throw in a lil comdeic twist, which is always hilarious. If you ever seen Jon Stewart being serious in a speech or interview, you'll see this guy isn't just a headline-dummy comedian.

                                                          God…I god...I really don't know what I wanna type in my head.

                                                          I always thought the world was peaceful these days and all the wars were decades ago, then the Iraq thing happened and now everyone is starting to goto war.....

                                                          I'm gonna be honest....if things keep going at this rate we are LITTERALLY gonna have a 'World War".

                                                          Tho I don't pay attention to news so I like to live in my little world of "everyone and thing is at peace".

                                                          But how long will this world we can imagine exist? I'm personally getting slightly scared...the USA has never come under a massive attack which wripped out alot like other countrys....I feel we are overdo for one...

                                                          I....I don't wanna get blown up, I have too many dreams to fullfill to die now.

                                                          I hope peace once again, triumps. And Bush doesn't get re-elected.

                                                                    …

                                                                    Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization. They're part of the Lebanese government! People should really look at Project for a New American Century to see that Bush was just using Hezbollah's attack as an excuse to get at Syria and Iran.

They actually do seem to know what they're talking about, but throw in a lil comdeic twist, which is always hilarious. If you ever seen Jon Stewart being serious in a speech or interview, you'll see this guy isn't just a headline-dummy comedian.

There are conflicts in Africa and Asia that are over 40 years old, forgotten wars. There are more wars in the world then you think, go to Wikipedia and you will see how many wars, that started after WWII are still ongoing.

                                                                              Bush is a not only a born again Christian, he's a "protestant fundamentalist evangelical christian conservative", as radical a Christian as Osama bin Laden is a Sunni Muslim. He's also a "rapturist", which means he believes the "Book of Apocalypse" in the bible is to be taken literally (though, some bits like "people from around the world will get spared from God's wrath" are taken out, since GOD'S ONLY CHOSEN PEOPLE ARE WHITE PROTESTANT CHRISTIANS"). Rapturists are descendent from the hellfire-fearing Calvinists of the eighteenth century, and they WANT Israel to cause massive destruction because it'll jumpstart the Apocalypse, which takes place in the Middle East.

                                                                              Historically, Congress, the President, and all manner of civil servants have BARRED these kinds of radicals from EVER taking public office, because they will abuse their office and attempt to push their religion on other people. "Separation of Church and State".

                                                                              Only two rapturists were ever elected to high office. John Ashcroft from Kansas as a Senator (and he was soundly kicked out of office), and George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election.

                                                                                  So does that mean that Billy Graham had a part in this war?

                                                                                  I would think so, though it it's possible to imagine, he's less extreme than President Bush. Graham is not a born again; born agains value their own hides over those of others, and as a preacher, he's inherently dedicated to the betterment of other people. He might make born-agains out of people, but he isn't one himself.

                                                                                  He is, however, an extremely strong advocate of Israel, which is strange, as he's also extremely anti-semetic. Ergo, I would think he supports Israel because it is a powderkeg for the Apocalypse.

From what I've read of John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion, God (the one Christians accept, anyway) is clearly the author of all evil. Or at least, that's how I interpreted it. A Calvinist would simply remark that I was wrong. They'd also say that it was a clear sign that I was predestined to Hell.

                                                                                              Easy. It's rooted in child psychology! "I am better than you, I have more privelages than you" was the primary driving force toward conversion and acceptance of Calvinism.

                                                                                              That's the whole irony of the religious movement, actually. See, born-against Christians, as part of their life's mission, are supposed to have other people "born again" as well; however, without "non-believers" to look down upon, the whole religious movement will fall apart, id est, if everyone becomes "born-again", and therefore everyone equally saved before God (as a born-again is guaranteed into heaven NO MATTER WHAT, EVEN MASS GENOCIDE like our president).

Making all of Israel international would be a wonderful event, and I think it would be a necessary step toward world peace.

                                                                                              However, both the Jews and the Muslims are intolerant. The radicals cannot stand even their own relegious offshoots (Sunni Muslim v. Shi'ite Muslim), let alone Christians or Jews. Furthermore, the Jews have a dislike of the Muslims, too, for taking back their Holy Land after they "shooed off dem lads".

The palestinians would still want all their land back, the Jew would say that it is theirs and only they sould control it, and the rest of the muslims would just want the jews the go away. Besides it is not about the Holy Land anymore. This war is beeing controled to some extend by Iran, this is a diversion. They want nukes, we don't want them to have nukes, so they just start a proxy-war and all the world has it's eyes on Lebanon, while Iran continues is goal to make nukes.

                                                                                                  Easy. It's rooted in child psychology! "I am better than you, I have more privelages than you" was the primary driving force toward conversion and acceptance of Calvinism.

                                                                                                  That's the whole irony of the religious movement, actually. See, born-against Christians, as part of their life's mission, are supposed to have other people "born again" as well; however, without "non-believers" to look down upon, the whole religious movement will fall apart, id est, if everyone becomes "born-again", and therefore everyone equally saved before God (as a born-again is guaranteed into heaven NO MATTER WHAT, EVEN MASS GENOCIDE like our president).

                                                                                                  Israel itself is not just a holy land for the Jews; the Muslims and Christians like it, too. Making all of Israel international would be a wonderful event, and I think it would be a necessary step toward world peace.

                                                                                                  I'm sorry. Can you explain that to me better? How would that be better? this entire feud started because we decided to put the Jews in the area to resolve the problem of where to put them, thereby starting aggravation in the Palestinian community. Most of this is because they believe themselves God's chosen people and that this land is their land. Even if we, ourselves, decide to make it international, it is the intolerance, as you stated, that inhibits this.

                                                                                                  However, both the Jews and the Muslims are intolerant. The radicals cannot stand even their own relegious offshoots (Sunni Muslim v. Shi'ite Muslim), let alone Christians or Jews. Furthermore, the Jews have a dislike of the Muslims, too, for taking back their Holy Land after they "shooed off dem lads".

                                                                                                  Well, let's face it. This entire war is about Religion. Just look at Hezbollah for example and their strife against Israel. They blow up civilians, Israel blows up civilians, no matter how accidental they make it say, like that supposed ware of weapons they were "targeting".

                                                                                                  The universal hubris of relegion is that all sects that worship Allah/Jehovah/Yahweh consider themselves "God's chosen people"; even those scientologists and their Xenu.

                                                                                                  So, you're saying that these people really don't care about all the other people because, unless they convert, they're gonna die and go to Hell or any other version of something like that?

We believe that there is a supreme being out there. We just don't know who did this. So is does this religion have the definite answer? Did they actually meet this supreme being? NO. So why fight when you don't even know the truth?

                                                                                                        If Israel becomes an international city, I'm already implying that the Muslims, Jews, and Christians will have put aside their radical differences and were willing to live peacefully with one another; ergo, that's an impossibility at this point, because the people are too zealous.

                                                                                                        As my favourite philosopher, Karl Marx, once said, "religion is the opium of the masses".

However, it's part of their religious faith to make as many other people born-again as well; this contrasts traditional protestant or Catholic views, which state that entry into heaven is granted by good deeds, piety, and benevolence, in contrast to forging a "personal relationship with God".

                                                                                                        However, inherently, born-againts have an arrogance about them, where they love to denounce people who are not "born-again" and refuse to convert, id est, radical Muslims. If everyone became born-again, they couldn't denounce people, which would "take all the fun" out of being a born-again.
