#1 You know, if the palestinians went ghandi and peacefully protested completely turning away from violence they would get the entire world community on their side. They would get more than they could ever hope to get from Israel with violence and they would prosper economically as Israel would not be afraid to let them work in Israel.

Until they do Israel must be ruthless and exterminate Hamas and other terrorist groups, but the day the palestinians abandon violence is the day I'll support their right to have a state.

#2 The entire world community already *is* on their side...who supports the other side, other than the USA?

But I can sympathize with his ostracism, and wanting to die. If someone had told me when I was 16, "here, take this bomb and kill yourself, along with a bunch of people we hate," I would have thought seriously about it. Anything to stop the constant pain of going to school every day and having to be humiliated again and again.

#3 "The people who gave me the suicide belt told me this was my only chance to have sex."

Judging by the trolleys he was wearing I aint surprised.

#4 "Since I am studying the Koran, I know about the good life which awaits there. The people who gave me the suicide belt told me this was my only chance to have sex."

Well, this sentence certainly certainly pisses me of, lets get a division of US marines and israelis in there and kill of all the terrorists we can get our hands on.(slowly)

#5 I like this phrase,

"...My friends at school make fun of me," he said. "They call me âBrains â but they also make fun of me because Iâm small and ugly. They call me âThe Ugly Dwarf.â It hurt so much I wanted to kill myself...."

I guess Dennis Kucinich would have been a suicide bomber if he had been born in Paleo world.

#7 mhw.... now that was just plain mean. Funny, but mean. I fear poor Dennis would only affect 3 percentum of his targets.

#8 "A half-page advertisement in Al-Ayyam urged Palestinians to lay down their arms and turn to peaceful means of protest to end the occupation."

Under the PA the idea of peacefully resisting is considered treason, IIRC.

#9 His mother, however, said she would not have opposed the decision to send her son on the suicide mission had he been over 18.

I have a better idea: if she's supportive of suicide/murder bombing by adults, then SHE can don a belt and have a go at it. And I would hope that the IDF would put a bullet in her head for her efforts.

#10 "The entire world community already *is* on their side...who supports the other side, other than the USA?"

You're right of course but being that the USA is all that really matters my statement holds true ;)

#11 Did the cycle of violence blow a tire?!?

That's brilliantly put.
