| In response to the orignal post #1 and topic....
Regardless if those shells that were being signed by children were ment for other civilians or for millitants, the point is, what kind of image are you trying to portray by promotting children to sign names and promote the deaths of other people?
Bringing in children to a war is sick, using them for propaganda purposes is sick, exposing them to war as being a normal and ok thing is sick.....
In response to the quotes I seen plenty asking sources for on page one..... as mentioned by the original poster.... go look it up. Seriously people it's not that dam hard to give your fingers some exercise.... take the quote and go google it.... if you find links and sources from that search, and they seem ligitamate, then there you go.... if you get nothing, then it's probably false.
When someone comes on here and speaks their mind, if something doesn't add up, I'll either ask or I'll look up myself what they are talking about.... but nobody here seems to have that same trait.... they want it all spoon fed to them....
I also remember hearing and reading a few of those quotes myself, so they exist somewhere.... someone had to have said them, and if he's supplied dates, names and the sort, then it shouldn't be too hard to look up.
Is Israel a racist country? I'd believe it.... there's been too much over the last few decades I have seen that would gear in this direction..... ask me for proof, I'll ask you to go look it up.
I mean, of course I could see them having reasons of being racist, lots in history would lead them up to this mentality and lack of trust of those who are different.
Their attacks last summer also bleeds of racism..... one soldier captured and they go on an all out invasion and war, bombing and air striking recklessly and indiscrimating against their targets, using cluster bombs in civilian locations, etc..... this shows reckless disregard for the lives of anybody they attack.... which also looks like a thought process that all those lives are expendable compared to that one soldier...... seems a bit racist to me. What did the UK do with Iran when their soldiers were captured? They didn't go on an all out war with Iran.... they could have.... but eventually Iran released them on good faith it would seem. Trying to derail this topic with Iran and other middle east countries is not only going to fail, but it doesn't relate to the topic at hand either..... trying to cancel out the negatives of Israel by pointing the finger at another country that's worse, doesn't remove the fact that it still remains in Israel.
Added: just looked up some of those quotes, and there's plenty of sources for those quote..... therefore if any of you wish to use your deductive reasoning, you might have to considder there might be a good chance they're true.
And if these quotes are indeed true, then it also proves they are racist..... if you got people in authority positions telling the population to do and act as the above quotes show, then that's pretty blaitently racist. |
