1. What a diseased bunch
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.12.13)
They are nothing more than rabid jackals, and should be put down. The whole lot of them. Indoctrinating children to hatred and violence. Hey, Ben Alofs -- these are the "people" (I use the term advisedly) whose cause you champion endlessly. That makes you just as sick as they are.
2. So ,...
split ,   US   (06.12.13)
What do you expect them to do, to lay down and givve up? - Won't happen!
3. No 2 so-so
Tim ,   T-A   (06.12.13)
We expect them to teach their kids something useful, and be prepared for a real life. "Kidnapping an Israeli soldier" is hardly a very promising occupation for a young man. Unless he wants to become "martyr", instead of becoming a doctor or engineer. But you're right - it won't happen. I'm sure you're very glad that it won't and more people die as a result. By the way "give" is spelled with "v" , not "w". Are you lisping?
4. Has no one seen
Holy Warior ,   UK   (06.12.13)
the pictures of zionist settler children being taught how to handle assault rifles and Uzi's?
5. Compare this to the whimpy US schools that expel students
Rivkah   (06.12.13)
for biting a piece of bread into the shape of a gun, shooting with pencils, saying the word "gun", bringing a toy water pistol to school, etc. Sheesh. There needs to be a balance. Gaza schools are too toxic in aggression while US schools are rabidly wimpy.
6. Gaza education in terror and
Get Real ,   UK   (06.12.13)
productive employment of Palestinians. UN handouts for training? Todays children are tomorrows terrorists. Richard Falk- are you watching?
7. Cool game
Dmitry ,   Israel   (06.12.13)
I know this story is going to get lots of comments about how this is bad for the kids and a symbol of a sick culture, etc... But when I was a small kid growing up in USSR, I know me and my friends would do anything to be allowed to play these kinds of games! With real AK47s (even old ones that don't work) and an outpost to storm plus some flares and barbed wire and shit! Coolness. The closest we came to it were snowball fights...
8. any UN EU volunteers
yoc ,   Manhattan   (06.12.13)
Any EU & UN volunteers for Gaza exchange students who need school & boarding school for the year 2013 2014. great kids with many skills.
9. Terrorist
karam ,   Gaza_Canada   (06.12.13)
When I was 15 my dad asked me to leave the mosque after prayer directly cuz he knew what these groups try to teach kids.... My uncle took out his kids(same as my age) out of the Quran teaching classes, cuz he knew as well that these people uses quran classes for their goals!!! but still on the other side, there are extremest in israel too, and we see kids take photos with missles before its fired on gaza boarders. right.! Lets pray for Peace...
10. Please Show Us!
Jenny ,   NY USA   (06.12.13)
Hey Holly Warior, can you please show us these pictures of Jewish youths defending themselves? That's right, "defending", not attacking as the children in the article are encouraged and taught. No? Thought so....
11. No 4 holy warrior from UK or Pakistanis settled in UK on UK
Tim ,   T-A   (06.12.13)
It's bad spelling that gave you away. You lot can't even manage any writing skills, not to mention something more complicated, but here you are - longing to fight your silly holy war against infidels? Great contribution to UK. And to the world for that matter.
12. the culture of rage and hatred beasts u have no hart
guillermo ,   tel aviv israel   (06.12.13)
And where is the useless o good for nothing ban kim moon UNHRW ,security council and blablabla when time comes i know i wont hestitate to kill terrorist childrens as they are teaining them to kill they would became a menace in the future end
13. The same ultra-liberals in the U.S...
BK ,   Virginia, USA   (06.12.13)
who love the Palestinians and think they are oppressed are the same people whose kids go to schools where if you even draw a gun on paper you get suspended.
14. Israel doest the same, called "Gadna"
Ivan ,   Haifa   (06.12.13)
15. Violence
magpies ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.12.13)
No society that feeds its children on tales of successful violence can expect them not to believe that violence in the end is rewarded. -Margaret Mead, anthropologist (1901-1978)
16. When I was a child during WW II
John Robey ,   Texas USA   (06.12.13)
we played a game called "slap a Jap." I don't think that it turned me into a monster and I am not sure that the Palastenian summer camps are much different from the propaganda that is fed into Jewish youngster's minds from the likes of Meir Kahane and others racists in Israel at their camps. Just look at the actions of young Jewish hoologans in Jerusaleum towards Arabs.
17. lies
amir   (06.12.13)
im israeli/ never touched a weapon before joining the army as a warier
18. the darlings of the 'civilized world!
tiki ,   belgium   (06.12.13)
19. gadsna is about camping no kidnaping
amir   (06.12.13)
20. To: No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.12.13)
Teach much kidnapping in Gadna, do they? And isn't the program designed for young men and women about a year or two away from military service? As opposed to four and five year old children?
21. If that day comes that the Muslims love
Dyslexic.. ,   Israel..   (06.12.13)
there children more than they hate Jews,there might be a chance for peace.I stress might .....
22. Maybe they should also learn to play
A ,   Belgium   (06.12.13)
oh sh*t, the IAF!
23. Israeli kids are not taught to kill n kidnap
brad ,   haifa   (06.12.13)
They are taught self defense incase one of theae rabid muts ends up in thwir neighborhood. Big difference. Not teaching them to slaughter innocent ppl or shoot aimless rockets at homes and kindergartens. Get real ppl. You hahatred for jews has overruled reality. Shalom
24. arab childrens play
jan ,   jerusalem, israel   (06.12.13)
and to think! Our beloved Israeli government gives financial compensation for these poor innocent bystanders that get killed during rocket attacks by Israel-in retaliation and in defence of Israel! When will the Israeli government wake up? Why don't the wealthy arabs compensate the innocent civilans financially for all those they murdered in cold blood, and all their homes and businesses they destroyed! Where is justice?
25. These are the "peace-loving" people with whom some demand of
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.12.13)
us, Israeli Jews, to deal while lowering our guards. We say: Never Again!!
26. to n# 16
zeboss ,   israel   (06.12.13)
When you were a child... you got the AK-47's in hand to pretend to "slap the jap??". wake up old man!! ( it is never too late..)
27. We are watching our peace partners preparing the future.
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.12.13)
In the meantime we are scratching our heads as to, what kind of "goodwill/confidence building measures we should take vis a vis Arab aggressors.
28. #4 - actually, no.
solomon ,   bklyn   (06.12.13)
It's only in your imagination, and a poor attempt to show equality.
29. #1 Sarah B
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A.   (06.12.13)
Have you ever considered that this may be the result of your governments policy? You stole their land, you have them blockaded for decades, you deny them food, fuel and medicine, so did you expect them to behave differently?
30. Whats the difference...
Scott ,   Florida   (06.12.13)
Between this and Jewish summer camps waking up campers in the middle of the night for an IDF exercise to sieze the cafeteria back from the terrorists? Nothing. Oh, well we perceived ourselves to be the good guys I guess.
