Actually the American media is not pro-Israel.

Most of that is apathy, laziness, ignorance. They couldn't point to Israel on a map.

Do they have enough gas in their tank? and what time does American Idol come on? is about all they need to know.

Remember at the beginning of this thread. These Israeli apologists tried to deny what happened.

Didi Remez's Photos | Facebook
And who is taking care of this child? Lets see: HEBREW on the sheets. HEBREW on the sign above the child. Thus he's being treated by.......ISRAELIs. There is no denying what happened, But to blame all Isrealis for this is truly narrow minded.


My only question is why is none of the childs clothing even slightly burned/singed?



BTW the photo listed on the facebook site is not even in the current photos of the listed owner at http://activestills.org/. So the photo may be unrelated to this story.

NeilVA, not sure if you are aware, but the OP of this thread has a track record of anti-semitic hate posts here at C-D a mile long. Not sure if he should be engaged in this forum. Probably better to ignore him and his twisted views of hatred and division.

This video of racist, bigoted, Israeli Jews gloating about nearly beating the Arab boy to death came out today. This was the attack mentioned in my first post.

Notice how freely they express these vile, disgusting racist comments on a public street.

I'm fully aware of him and he is fully aware of me. We are Americans and we both have the right to our opinions. As per the video, why hide the truth? These are Orthodox children who barely have hit their teens. They live in communities that have very little to do with outsiders (including secular Jews). They don't watch or read secular news. So where did they learn to do this? Who supplied them? They are no better than Palestinian children who have done the same thing. They should get the same punishment.

Maybe, You FF need to read the following link a few times. You seem to choose which of the 613 mitzvot to follow and which to ignore.

Here is what the "Palestinian" supporters are fighting for. from:

Violence Against Palestinian Women Is Increasing, Study Says
Published: November 7, 2006

Quote:
Laws dating from Jordanian and Egyptian administration in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, respectively do not fully protect the rights of women, the report says. It notes, for example, that the laws provide reduced penalties to men who kill or harm female relatives who are accused of adultery, allow only male relatives to file incest charges on behalf of minors and absolve from criminal prosecution rapists who agree to marry their victims and remain married for three years.

Rape laws distinguish between victims who are virgins and those who are not. Husbands may divorce wives at will with verbal notification while wives must obtain a judicial divorce, and can only initiate divorce on the basis of inflicted harm.
The report also notes that given traditions of male authority and the enclosed nature of Palestinian communities, it is difficult for a female victim to seek redress or help with any guarantee of privacy. Those who complain to the police or the courts sometimes put themselves in more danger from an embarrassed family or clan. The system “prioritizes the reputations of their families in the community over their own well-being and lives.”

Police officers, lacking a sophisticated system of legal options, and clan leaders, seeking to protect the reputation of the family, “regularly ‘mediate’ and ‘resolve’ these cases, typically by returning the abused women to the ‘care and protection’ of her attacker, without ever referring the case to the courts or the woman to social or other services she might need,” the report says.

Why does the USA have a relationship with any of the Arab countries that keep Palestinians in refugee camps since 1948? Why are you singling out Israel? Why did Egypt control Gaza from 1948-1967 and why did Jordan control the West Bank 1948-1967 instead of forming a Palestinian entity during that time period?
