camp meir kahane is filled with loonies. this is not a camp that is a camp, sir. it is a bunch of jews that no one pays attention to, very very minimal in number, n ot involved in the larger jewish community in the usa and neither supported by any usa organization, not by israel and not by a single jew in the usa. rabbi meir kahane is considered a reviled person in israel and no israeli ever supported him. his message was not jewish and his behavior was reviled by most jews and most israelis. to give such a dismal and minute idiotic camp that trains jews in self defense, not in killing the other, is stretching the truth here. any other camps that you care to recommend? i think you are running out of choices. actually meir kahane camp is unknown in the usa. no one even goes or pays attention to it.

Hakim ,   Palestine   (06.18.13)
Terrorists arise in all cultures, all nations and all religions. The Jews have produced more than there share. You should of considered joining B'Tselem or Peace Now, it would have been better than wearing a army uniform and throwing grenades in the beautiful land of Palestine . You could of made a difference but you chose to widen the divide that leads to conflict by joining "The Marva Program" five years ago.

I prefer Israel carry the burden. One state solution. We can see what happens after.
37. THIS IS WHY GAZA NEEDS TO BE RETAKEN AND HAMAS WIPED OUT!
Mighty Jew Young ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (06.19.13)
HAMAS WIPED OUT TO THE LAST MONSTER! It is a cancer that will grow and grow unless destroyed utterly...now is the time.
38. This is child abuse simple and plain;
(06.19.13)
brainwashing children to hate, feeding them lies about a 'fakestine' that never existed in history. There has never been any sovereign state, west of the Jordan and east of the Mediterranean, in the last 3500 years except for Israel. There is no 'fakestine', yet kids are bred on this Jew hatred for NO REASON.

Liar! Go educate yourself here: http://www.israelexperience.org.il/reg/pages/p_1356.asp?g_id=106 Marva is nothing like those terrorist training centers in Gaza. I don't know what is worse -- the fact that there are such "summer camps," or the fact that there are parents who would send their children there. It is gratifying to know that there are 150,000 children whose parents refuse to knuckle under to terrorists, and who would rather see their children engage in sports and other normal camping activities. Perhaps there is hope for that terrorist enclave yet!
40. Hamas Summer Traing Camps for Tots
Wal Man ,   Boston, Ma   (06.19.13)
What a total waste of human existence. Since 1948 these people have done nothing with themselves. Generations of people just wasted for the sole purpose of destroying another. They don't even make pocket combs! It's just an existence of tunnels and bombs. Totally upside down. They deserve what they get.
41. Alas, the next generation of targets in training

the marva program has nothing to do with terrorism. this hamas program does. and i do support a palestinian state. i do not support going about it using terrorism. hakim, you could have had your state but arafat failed you palestinians. he chose terror after oslo. also, abbas failed you too. he walked away from the best offer olmert gave him, more than nay other israeli. that offer included everything abbas wants NOW. so why walk away? arafat also walked away in taba and in camp david from the best offer, like olmert's offer, in 2000-2001. he didn;t even counteroffer. he simply walked away. you also could have had a state in 1947, but your arab brothers and nations reefused and attacked israel. israel accepted partition. you arabs didn't and ended up by your brothers putting you all in refugee camps while israel incorporated all the 800,000 jews that were expelled from muslim arab lands and ran for their lives. this problem could have been settled decades ago, hakim. but your leaders had no vision. they would rather keep you in refugee camps and get rich from usa and eu money aid that can afford them luxurious villas you do not even have, money for european suits and shoes which you do not have, first class flights all over the world which you do not have and fancy mercedes cars which you will never have. your leaders are BEGGARS and your society is subjected by them to constant victimhood and kept in a constant state of war because it suits them to fight israel this way. they are using you, if you don't realize it, you are blind. i hope that with this new president for the plo, the moderate from the university in nablus, we can all come to an understanding finally. but, as long as hamas rules gaza, what are you going to do, hakim? what is israel going to do, hakim? who do we talk to, hakim? palestinians have to sort out their problems of unity first before any agreements can come about. i would love to see your people have a moderate state, one that is not hateful, one that is not in constant terror and wars. look at the arab muslim world now. every country is burning up because of religion, oppression, backwardness, illiteracy, no freedom, no democracy and total economic failure, corruption and mismangement by despots, totalitarians and fanatic rulers. you figure it out, hakim. it is not too difficult to look at the arab world and compare it to hamas in gaza.

no, hakim. israel will never commit this kind of suicide. build your own state by your own hands. god only knows you get so many billions from us all. hameed aboughaze, iranian
44. Most disgusting fact is that Israel tolerates this.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.19.13)
There is nothing surprising in the fact that Israel's "Palestinian" enemies are sadistic barbarians. What is truly disgusting is that the Israeli government tolerates this. Nay. The Israeli government actually SUPPORTS depraved "Palestinian" genocidists by showering them with food, money, materials of all kinds and electricity. Sick, Sick, Sick, SICK!
45. You're so off it's not even funny
Great Dane ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.19.13)
it's really sad that you compare life loving people and terror loving Hamas. Did you know that the word Hamas means "violence"?
46. Number 1
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (06.19.13)
Purely ignorant remark. People like you just say we do one thing because they are doing it the first place to justify your hate!! I wonder if the UN have said a thing about this. All they have said is they are offering a sports camp and not slammed the group and camps!! No 1, the reason why our boys are trained, and only at the age of 18 BTW, is to defend against these f*c@in% animals.
47. Hakim , palestine
Galut ia ,   Selah   (06.19.13)
You need to step past the rewritten history you have been fed....be independent and objective there is a vast difference between the Marva program and these camps that the Palestinians and Hamas run ... starting with the age of the participants ...and vastly different goals ....
48. the true color of the terrorist

israeli children taught by their teacher in a better way for their future while terrorist did the opposite

soldiers children in the Kongo, kongo isn't a stat, there goes paliwood.
50. Double standards
Stan ,   NYC, US   (06.19.13)
The US and Israel are free to terrorize anyone, anywhere, any time. If people on the receiving end dare to fight back, they are called "terrorists". The US military machine needs enemies, and large corporations need easy access to resources, so the fake "War on Terror" gives them a lame excuse to terrorize foreign countries, and also anyone who may disagree. Nice.
51. Targets
Tomas ,   Freehold, NJ   (06.19.13)
If we remember recent history, When the fight begins it's the teenagers sent in as targets while the Hamas adult fighter run and hide. They emerge with cameras to take pictures of the dead boys and girls to show to the world media.

I went to Jewish camps in the U.S. Never did we do anything like this. We had hippes playing guitar, we learned to observe the Sabbath, and we played sports. I remember singing and praying for peace, playing basketball, and swimming....never did I prepare for a future as a child soldier. Please name and show the curricula of the Jewish camps that exists in your fantasies to militarize children. These camps exist in your racist fantasy only.
53. And who is finding these camps?
ahmed ,   Afghanistan   (06.19.13)
That's right, the American tax dollars.

THE FUNDERS ARE THE UN ANWRA. has nothing to do with israel or america.
55. Numbers seem off
Berry Henson ,   Lockhart, Texas   (06.19.13)
OK, so you've got 100,000 kids learning to be terrorists and 150,000 kids learning to be soccer stars in the Gaza strip. That's an awful lot of kids for such a small, poor, war-torn strip of land. Pretty amazing... I guess they breed like rabbits and they can't be doing that bad if they're feeding all those kids. Must be all that foreign aid obama is giving .
56. HAMAS
Paladin ,   Hernando - USA   (06.19.13)
One day they will run out of people to blow themselves up... despicable that they exploit children like this.
57. AP Photo
Stuart King ,   USA   (06.21.13)
I am an American Vietnam Veteran and I see a photo of "someone" with a M-14 Rifle. I carried that same rifle in Vietnam. If the person in this picture is Hamas, where did he get that rifle? Wolf Vietnam 1966-1967
58. Palestinian Future
steven ,   paris   (06.24.13)
Some of you People ask who is Funding this Mascarade?? Its yours and My TAXES,,, This is an UTTER SHAME on the Palestinians and for the International Community. What future will these Kids have ? What will the next generation be able to give society if not a Another Bunch of Home grown Terrorists. Is this the reaso why They were admitted to UNESO? for their CULTURE OF DEATH?and High Education.? The International Community along with the Arab League are responsable for this Pathetic Indoctrination of the future generation of Palestinians. And after seeing this the world cannot sit back and simply say,," We did not Know".
59. Bravo to the freedom fighters!
Marlene Newesri ,   NYC   (06.24.13)
What is heartbreaking is that Palestinian children cannot have anything that could be considered a normal childhood because they live under a brutal and inhumane occupation which affects all Palestinians regardless of age or gender, unlike Israeli children who grow up to be part of the oppressors. For some reason, the west supports resistance against oppression, but when it concerns Israel, they support oppression without the right to resist. The tragedy of all this is that the Palestinians have ultimately paid for crimes committed decades ago in Europe for which they had no part, including all Palestinian children. Until Palestine is liberated, all Palestinian children, yet to even be born, will suffer at the hands of their oppressors.
60. Gaza childrens' training camps.
Bikerwolf ,   London U.K.   (06.26.13)
Yeah, sure thing Chris Gunness of UNRWA, ' The longest blockade in modern history' eh? Perhaps you ought to get yourself a job with any Customs and Excise unit outside of your silly organisation anywhere in the modern civilised world and see what happens when planes, boats and trains attempt to land illegal goods through a modern country's armed borders. Maybe you'lll witness the armed border patrols, armed soldiers, armed coastguard and airport security and all the connected military operations attached to keeping a nation secure and safe from the import of illegal goods foodstuffs, weapons and medicines, which is the right of any sovereign nation protecting itself from terror. There is no 'blockade' of Gaza. All goods entering the enclave are subject to the same checks and controls as in any other part of the world. Get a life pal and get another job, perhaps one which will teach you something important, factual and accurate.
