yes it does, it bother me that:

1) You cannot come up with more original titles for your post (How many is that now with that title?)
2) That you post an item then never get involved in the discussion
3) That I am wasting my time answering your post

So if an Iraqi factory calls itself Iraqi Baby Milk Factory in English words, its fake, but if a pro-Israeli website posts an email with fanatical-looking terrorists is sent to Palestinian children in English, not Arabic, its something we should be worried about? I'm more worried about your intelligence level, that you're afraid of all those English speaking pre-adolescents with internet access in impoverished Palestine. I can't imagine that people as thick as you are actuaries, I gotta know, can you really be this dumb or are you putting us on, or trying to trick us, or what?

GP is right. Can't we talk about Enron some more?

PB1, I don't think the words on that website are meant for Palestinian children. It is meant for Americans to read and be influenced.

I think if you slow down and reflect on the purpose of the website, as Harry said (now I'm agreeing with Harry?!?), you'll realize you owe someone an apology for calling them thick. You are right, however, that it would take someone pretty dense to assume that the intended audience was Palestinian children.

Even you get things right once in a while.

GP - it does trouble me that a generation of Arabs are being systematically taught to hate another group of people. It is difficult for me to comprehend Arab parents being proud that their children are blowing themselves up to inflict damage on the people that they hate.

I feel like the poor, young Arabs are being used as fodder by their leaders. I mean, Arafat's wife seems to be living pretty good in Paris. And I notice that Osama bin Laden was not standing in the front of the line to get his ticket to paradise.

There seems to be a spirit of HATE loose on planet earth that has not been seen since the Nazi days of WWII. My concern is that Americans need to be aware of this spirit of HATE and make a conscious decision how to respond. I think we tend to get caught up in the 15 minute fads of the day and ignore the larger issues in the world.

I think ANoNo's latest vindicates what I said: He thinks Arab children are being systematically taught on the internet. Via pro-Israel websites, no less!
