ONE if any........ i would preferably live in a big city, stay fit and pretty, not get married and have a good long, young-spirited life i say this now... but probably when ill near my 30s i'll start thinking like all the rest :(

nicely said... i couldnt agree with you more too bad there are those palestinians who've been trying to get with their lives and the extremists screw it for them... the situation is really sad

like i said neither one of us really knows whats going on there but i dont think that any israeli would have so much hate as to go and shoot a child on purpose... i really believe that.... and it's fine if you disagree, although it would be kind of sad because itd mean that you have absoloutly no belief in ppl, or specifically in israelis all the soldiers out there are ppl like me, my age... i was in IDF myself until 3 months ago.... so i think i do have a right to say that i know abit of whats going on out there but factually children and teenagers have been used by hamas in the past, forget this specific picture... there were other cases... they're trained by a young age to use weapons and this whole costume thing just sounds like a lame excuse to me... either way it's really sick [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQ3fKVi39Q]YouTube - The Children of Hamas[/ame] and this is the brainwashing im talking about: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56Rtx04TYPo&feature=related]YouTube - Muslim Palestinians teach children to hate in cartoons 2[/ame] you wil never ever ever see israeli TV shows like that, teaching hate!

here.. i found proof: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_46cGArhEk]YouTube - Palestinian using kids as human shields[/ame]

I think hamasw motivation is to simply wear us down... i think they think that if they attack us more and kill more israelis and make us be afraid to live in our own houses they will ulitametly make us wanna leave and give them their country... obviously it's been kind of working for them many ppl living in the south of israel, in missle range, moved north it happenned in 2005 when we cleared gaza trip it happenned in 2001-2002 when there were many suicide bombings and ppl truly didnt leave their home... i remember that time, it was just horrible! Many ppl wanted to leave the country so we've been taking it and taking it from them and not responding is such harsh measures except for "Homat Magen" in 2002, that stopped the suicide bombings... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Defensive_Shield and since we've been taking it so much, i bet they didnt really think we'd respond this way but there was only so much we could take! and i agree with you when it comes to the paletinians situation labor-wise and also eduactionally i think many time there are stigmas towards the arab community and ppl dont think that they're very progressive or open to the west... but that's definetly untrue. I think that arabs who have an israeli ID and that live inside israeli borders do get opportunities... they become doctors and lawyers and whatever... just like everybody else The hebrew university here in jerusalem has many arab students... and also you should look at cities like Haifa were there truly is co-exsistence however there will always be stigmas and they may have a harder time getting a job... but that's just sad that the world is like that... and the palestinians living in the palestinian borders really dont get any opportunities.... if we could co-exsist with them like the other palestines the situation would have been different... this was all brought on both sides by poor leadership!

i hadnt just "heard" it... it's a fact and seen in the news and anyway, neither one of us is out there fighting and neither one of us truly knows whats going on, but let's say this isnt the first time hamas are using innocent children as for their opposition... a pic: and you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_suicide_bombers_in_the_Israeli-Palestinian_conflict need i remind you there were young suicide bombers who were simply brainwashed? im pretty sure that in a time of war the hamas activists wouldnt think twice about using a child in order to save their life. i completly understand that, and it's completly natural!! and i of course have nothing against you on any personal level, we just have to agree to disagree on political matters the problem is that on both sides ppl sometimes get confused and mix political disagreements with personal ones ;) i know about this too.... i just think they still dont realise their mistake or actually would rather deny it... i mean - who would wanna blame themselves for the situation? and just so you know, in the past months there has been serious rivalry inside the palestinian commutiny because of the political disagreements. Dozens of palestinians were killing each other everyday... (patah against hamas)... im sure that back then they really did regret that hamas took over things and also, if im not mistaken, mubarack (egypt's president) told the hamas leader, ismail hania, that he believes hania made a mistake by handling things the way he did and he should have seen the attack coming OF COURSE I KNOW THIS but there is a difference.... many of these prisoners were arrested because they had a connection with terrorist attacks or plans that may not know about or heard of. Like Yasser Arafat was given the noble prize for peace but there's no doubt in mind that he did have something to do with some of the terror that was used against israel just because you dont know something doesnt mean it's not there and alsoooo there's a difference becasue the palestinians are kept as prisoners!!They're are given humane conditions; food, shelter, clothes, hygeine.... they're kept in a prison! anddd they're families know where they are and their conditions and they can be in touch with them on the phone and also they've all been sentenced and got a sentence time. They know when and if they will be out Gilad shalit on the other hand is innocent!!! He was simply captured when he was gaurding the border!!! Today, we dont know where he is, how he is... is he alive?? what are they doing to him!!!! all this behaviour is a violation of international laws!!! read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Shalit it's completly different....!! the was never a "palestine" country... before us the british were here and before that all sorts of other colonies... but seriously, let's not get into that because it's really irrelevant and even if there was a palestine country, there was no hamas back then ;)

you couldnt have said it better :) if im not mistaken hamas used that school for their own benefits just so this would happen... so israel would have to attack and then internationally ppl would start raising eyebrows hamas activists also like to hide in hospitals and public places for that same reason it's exactly like them using women and children as human shields and fyi, israel always gives a head up before it drops a bomb and a building and tells all the ppl inside to evacuate... wrecking the buildings is to ruin the places from which hamas works and shoots missles, not to kill ppl!

i also have to add that i dont deny the fact that there are some extemists coming from out side as well, that really do hate all arabs and would rather have the palestinians gone, however, these extereimsts arent running the country, as apposed to palestine ;)

omg i i just saw this now! you have no idea how wrong you are jews are not taught to hate arabs...!!! there's hate coming from both sides simply because of the situation in 2002 when i couldnt go on buses out of fear of getting blown up it definetly raised some hate from my side towards them, as im sure our constant attacks on their side has caused them to hate us but there is a difference, because you should try watching some paletinian TV shows for kids and their school books... there are many racial and anti-israeli remarks...... it really trully isnt like that from our side! Trust me, we all recognise that the palestinians have a problem and that they deserve their own country and independance and we wanna deal with it but it's kind of hard when they keep applying terror on us and to be honest, i think the world should think twice about this. Try to imagine what would happen if Palestine was a legetimate country who could gather military power... do you really want another terrorist country run by hamas??? at least this way we have it somewhat under countrol, but a country run by hamas can be just as bad as Iran

^i totally agree with you i definetly think that israeli attacks were too strong and maybe there was a better way to handle things, but im not leading the army and i suppose that they had a reason and basis for attacking so harshly straight away... i mean, u can never truly know why some strategies are taken rather than others because u arent truly a part of it so i really want to believe that there was good reason and the civilians in the gaza strip really didnt know what was good for them when they chose hammas as their political party in 2006. The were blindsighted by the social and economic benefits that hamas bring and forgot that a significant about of hamas' budget goes to terror... and one of the biggest mistakes i think that were made by israel is that when we left the strip in 2005, which i was for by the way, we didnt make a satisfying agreement with egypt about border control, and maybe we should have even left a few of our forces over there so we can keep track, because unsuprisingly and obviously, egypt really doesnt care if weapons are being smuggled into gaza strip.... and either way thet have i think hundreds of tunnels from the gaza strip to egypt through which they smuggle weapons into the strip, and suicide bombers from the strip into egypt and from there to israel not to mention, we also have a captive soldier, Gilad Shalit, who's been captive for almost 1000 days... 2 and a half years... and we believe he's still alive along with wanting to stop the missle shootings we also want Gilad back... it's one issue that's very sensitive among the israeli popultion... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Shalit

and as im 21 i have friends who are serving the israeli army this days and ppl i know who were recruited for the attack.... believe me that the way ppl are acting in the streets here is that they all want this war to be over... nobody likes the situation... but we also want the shootings to stop...! there are a bunch of videos circilating facebook which explain the situation abit better http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=1074325613244&ref=nf
