31. #10 - "settlers always lie...."
William ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
and yet, there is more proof of Pallys and foreign Leftists causing damage in order to blame it on settlers. Of course, I don't expect you to consider settlers as fellow humans because of the intense dehumanization campaigns on them in the past 5 years despite the majority of them being peaceful and working closely (in peace) with their Arab neighbors for several decades now. Doesn't make for good tirades.
32. #3 - let's focus on what Muslims DID do
William ,   Israel   (10.16.12)
Who rampaged the entire ME and North Africa, ransacking villages, killing or enslaving millions, and committing cultural genocide? Muslims. Who consistently claims they cannot live under any non-Muslim rule and always launches violent campaigns, usually targeting non-Muslims, in order to push for independence when there were no tensions before? Muslims. Who, as a matter of policy, rejects equal rights along gender, religious, ethnic, and sexual orientation? Muslims. Who has brought the scourge of airline hijacking and suicide bombings to the world? Muslims. Who has systematically destroyed cultures and religious sites in order to exact hegemony in places of occupation, now including Mali? Muslims. Who is the one group that immigrates to a region and has the audacity to march in the streets calling for an Islamic State to replace their host country? Muslims. And finally, who claims they are peaceful but threatens horrific violence if anyone doubts them, and demands protection of their religion from free speech while denigrated the sensibilities of others worldwide? Muslims, Muslims, Muslims. And to your point - terrorism has a set definition: the use of violence against a civilian target in order to exact a political result. Too many instances of racist hatred being preached in mosques being the impedance to attacks on civilians, which are almost always non-Muslims. Perhaps you should check your own actions collectively before complaining how others see them.
33. #15, That's not what the video shows, does it?
Jake   (10.16.12)
It shows palestinians felling down olive trees and branches, and leaving the wood wasted and strewn all over the ground.

The world IS stupid.
35. To: No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.16.12)
Irrelevant. Let's focus on what the film clip proves incontrovertibly -- the ersatz "Palestinians" were felling their own trees. The film does not lie.
36. #3 Just the way it is
Rachel ,   USA   (10.17.12)
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of, Christians and Jews, even their among their own Muslim killing Muslims. I am also tired of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense such a cartoon; when the big offenses are their decapitating innocent media reporters or blowing up embassadors because they are not Muslims. of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims disfiguring or stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims throwing other Muslims off the roof, or cutting off limp, or decapitating them. But wait, no Muslim riots when suicide bomber kills hundreds of innocent civilians around the world. I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the Jews for their own problems. "
37. a Wh-question makes thing clearer
Ismail ,   Palestine   (10.17.12)
Although you comment 'let's focus on what Muslims did' is full of twisted facts, we'll hypothetically consider it true. But if we applied the question WHY on the two comments 'Let's focus on what Muslims did' and the other comment 'let's focus what the Europeans did' things will be much more clearer. world wars, enslaving Africans, ethnic cleansing were committed by the Europeans for money and power. However, the hijack and the attacks by Muslims (which killed nothing compare to these of Westerners) were a reaction against occupying their lands and enslaving them and stealing their resources. :)
38. I see Mohammed @3 you...

answered all the questions correctly. As a teacher I give you 10 over 10 points for your answers, but that's only because I know from experience that you don't have TOO MUCH UP TOP!
