Here's the deal on this guy who seems to be everywhere these days (Mads Gilbert):


Thanks Pprt, his frothing makes more sense now in that context. Maybe he will take time out from his hectic schedule of intervues to perform some lifesaving surgery. That would be news!

mharvey, you are either a good troll or you like remaining ignorant.
I recommend this post which has some illustrative graphs and links to show Israel breaking the peace.

JoeDirt, I'm no troll. I see things very differently than you. Ignorance is not one of my vices. Perhaps you need to recognize that reasonable people can disagree (strongly) on some issues.

I checked out your graph, and am not impressed. As Twain said, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics." This looks to be both.

The group that produced the webpage and graph is B'Tselem, a Liberal advocacy group in Israel which seems a bit like the ACLU is here. In other words, an enemy of the society which hosts it.

Their stated mission is, "to document and educate the Israeli public and policymakers about human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, combat the phenomenon of denial prevalent among the Israeli public, and help create a human rights culture in Israel."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B'Tselem

They start with an agenda, and not surprisingly, manufacture proof that their presuppositions are correct.

To my knowledge, the Palestinian leadership has never made an honest peace (going back to Arafat), but will frequently agree to a hudna in order to regroup and strengthen.

Pretty disturbing footage, which proves only that the Pallywood propaganda machine is very talented at producing such images. They aim to inflame the Arab world, and horrify sensitive Western viewers.

Historically they have gone so far as to produce child corpses from morgues.

Or in the case of Mohammad Al Durah, shooting a child themselves, filming it, and blaming the IDF.

Or were the poor children being dragged around as human shields?

So however they died, that sucks! But don't take the story at face value.

This piece of political propaganda was produced by a group calling itself "Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting." Sounds innocuous, No?

They are an ultra-liberal think tank who serially claim that the media has a severe right-wing bias. Not FOX News mind you, but CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, etc.

Among their prior brainfarts to make the news was their 1993 claim that violence against women rose by 40% on Super Bowl Sundays. FAIR later told the Boston Globe "It should not have gone out in FAIR materials". Oops.

Seth Ackerman is a prolific apologist for Islamic terrorists. If you ask him, you can still smell a little Hanan Ashwari on his finger. ;-)

"Children playing on the roofs of buildings"
Hmm... Like in this video?

Sounds like another case of Hamas compelling civilians to mass on top of known high-value targets.

Nothing is as it seems when poured from the Pallywood propaganda machine (which unfortunately Doctor Mads seems to have become a party to).

Iran's youth are one of the true bright spots of hope and promise of positive change in the Middle East.

I believe that (ironically) Iraq's young people will become that as well.

Holy Knockers Bat Man!

Jeez, Carson was really so good. Todays hosts shrink in his shadow.

Apparently it looked like this from the air:

Good Report. I agree that you have to go back to 1967. That is when Israel was attacked by her neighbors, and emerged victorious. These so-called "Occupied Territories" were legal prizes of that war.

Israel has chosen to offer up Gaza to revert to self rule. All of the current hardships suffered by the Palestinians in Gaza are a direct result of the bellicose nature of the Hamas gang now in power. Beyond that it traces to the cultural sickness introduced and nurtured by Yassar Arafat and the PLO for so many years.

If only the slate could be wiped clean, and a new start made...

>> ^Farhad2000:You condemn the actions of Hamas without ever looking at why terrorism has become the last resort of certain political groups in Palestine. Maybe it's because Israel doesn't really care about striving for a Palestinian state and peace.


I condemn Hamas for deliberately violating the presumed neutrality of a school, and then having the hutzpah to lay the victim's blood at the Israeli's feet. They have no shame, no conscious.

>> ^joedirt:
There isn't anything odd about the 43 bodies and not one of them is Hamas????

How do you presume to know none were Hamas? They disguise themselves by nature, recruit youngsters, pose as innocents. Here's an example of an instructor in a UN school, also a munitions maker:

Today, Israel bombed the shit out of a UN school, filled with kids.

You and QM are right: Since Hamas are horrible, then there is no other choice than to kill every last Palestinian alive.
You people are sick.

They teach children to explode themselves, and I'm sick for pointing that out?
Ok.....

You try and have it both ways:
"I am not interested in their culture nor am I any kind of expert on it"
Yet you claim that "You are very ill informed of these people"

Well I am informed and have studied the political and cultural history of the region. It's OK if a sad song or story makes you cry, but I can tell you that you and your ilk are dupes: hapless tools being spun by the Pallywood PR machine.
