A few!!
Palestine's fucking crawling with anti-Jewish suicide bomber wannabees. They teach it in the friggin schools even. Where have you been?
Quote:
What do the Palestinian schools teach? Ninth-graders study from official textbooks that assert, "treachery and disloyalty are character traits of the Jews and therefore one should beware of them." Jews are cast as Satanic, violent and cunning, as "thieving conquerors" who have stolen Arab land and must be fought and defeated.
Jihad and martyrdom are glorified as the means to liberating "Palestine" and children's poems contain calls to war and bloodletting. Fifth graders memorize such lines as, "I shall take my soul in my hand and hurl it into the abyss of death." The same verses are recited by children on official Palestinian television. Sixth-graders read of a young boy growing up with "the love of Jihad flowing through his veins and filling every fiber of his being." "Joy" comes only at "the sight of the enemy lying dead" or "fleeing for their lives."
"Palestine" replaces Israel on all maps in PA textbooks, and Israeli towns and cities are designated Palestinian locales. Jews are cast as enemies of Islam and European colonizers. An eighth-grade literary text denies Jewish connection to the Western Wall and children are taught to identify Muslim and Christian holy sites, while Jewish ones are omitted.
Bogus history teaches that Arabs lived in "Palestine" before the Jews. Thus, students learn Palestinian Arabs are descendants of Canaanites and Jerusalem is an ancient Arab city built before Islam. Jews are cast as an illegitimate, foreign, evil presence in the land of Palestine.
The Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace, an independent non-governmental group, reviewed Palestinian textbooks and distributed these disturbing findings to Members of Congress and the media. The Wye River agreements created a Trilateral Committee on Incitement that includes discussion of the textbook issue.

Again, the focus here is on the arseholes in the regiments. You, and those like you, would prefer to shift attention to the honourable personnel instead of focusing on the arseholes. What was it ...' I applaud your support of the troops' or some such bollox.

No, what I try to do is add some needed perspective. I wouldn't expecy an anti-American ME cheerleader to understand the concept of balance, however. It doesn't make for a good recruiting tool.

It's people like you who sanction war after war, after war. It isn't glorious.

If the war is just, I'm all for it. To be otherwise is to be a coward......but of course, anyone who condones sending their women and children to fight their battles for them already knows about cowardice.
