I couldn't help myself and I stepped into another one of these outrageous threads. I am so sick of pro-palestinian propoganda. Sadly, the above thread is one of hundreds, it seems.
Anyway, just needed to rant here...
I know you all can relate :)

Shalom and G-d bless

You had a sudden urge to be ganged up on by anti-zionists?

I ... just hate getting into the middle of this ****. It only ends up turning into a shouting match. People will believe what they want to believe, not what is proven as truth. People would rather be comfortable and not challanged than to actually open their eyes.
But I may end up making some comments... we shall see.

Proper job! Kudos to Pastor George, Yafet, Hix, Elena, Erin, and any other members extraordinaire of the IDF ;) who I may have failed to mention.
I was happy to see the thread closed. It never should have started. I rather think that the Islamist OP will think twice before doing so again.

My intention was not to point fingers at the children caught in the middle of that situation, but rather to expose a deeper seeded problem.

lol trust me, its never ending over there, at least the "zionism = racism" threads arent around any more, wasnt too long ago I had to deal with three of them in the one day. I got the warnings to prove it ;)

Nope. I was a virgin, but not any more! I came to CF for spiritual reasons and was delighted when MJ opened its own current events forum. There are, of course, a lot of reasons, all of them valid, why people come to CF.
I don't mean to sound puffy, but I think the force did good today. I hope that whenever an MJ spots such a thread that backup is called in, as Erin did today. Anti-Zionism better fits the charge of racism and should not be allowed to stand.

Thank you to all the reinforcements that went in there and contributed.

This is the best forum on CF, hands down.
Makes our petty squabbles look, well, petty compared to what other forums deal with.

I just wanted to ask if anyone really read the captions in the drawing. If you look close, it says something to the effect of:
"The gun may destroy my home, but the oppressor will never diminish my rights."
I really wonder how this can't be a matter of indoctrination with that type of terminology. Destroy, oppressor, and diminish are by far not elementary terms (unless the Palestinians are well advanced in terms of grammar).
Anyway... just the term 'oppressor' left an imprint on me that left me wondering quite a bit.

Grrr!
like the rest of you, that thread made me angry. I'm glad it's closed too! You all did a good job and I'm kinda sorry I missed out on the action. I would have posted Henny sig. I think I get the point across nicely:)
If the Palestinians laid down their weapons today,
there would be no more violence.
If the Israelis laid down their weapons today,
there would be no more Israel.
Some day I'd like to get a bumper sticker that says this! :cool:

Exactly. Children don't talk like that. It's purely propaganda being parroted by their little mouths.
sad, isn't it?

The Arab culture is built on parroting and it is very, very sad.
From David Lamb's seminal work, Arabs: "In many schools children are taught not to reason and question but only to memorize, to file away the Koran verse by verse as though the mind were a computer floppy disc. At Cairo's religious ..."
Lamb's driver had a degree from an Egyptian university where he was taught to memorize, not to reason and never had to attend classes.
Madresses, or religious schools, throughout the Arab world teach young minds to parrot hatred of Jews and Christians, to parrot the Koran as well as the fundamentalist nonsense that is ostensibly derived from it. We not only saw a sorry example of that yesterday but something much worse IMO -- an adult exploiting children for propaganda purposes in a Judeo-Christian forum. Why are Moslems allowed to open such threads in the first place?
Btw, Yafet. Your post on the thread was fabulous. We just cannot allow threads like that to ramble on unchallenged regardless of the consequences.

Thanks Toney. I tried to be straightforward without being unnecessarily offensive. Its hard to balance, and I wondered if I crossed either line.

Speak the truth in Love Yafet.
I hope I went over the line!
Y'shua was ALWAYS over the line for Y'srael
By the way I am not really IDF
I am more of a Moussad type ;) (but don't tell anyone it's a secret)
