Terrorist Trading Cards

[SeanAshi]

http://www.honestreporting.com/images/terroristcards.jpg
Palestinian children are collecting cards showing gunmen and soldiers the way kids in the US trade baseball cards, and some educators are concerned that the hobby is helping to breed a new generation of militants...The collectable cards depict real-life Middle East action figures familiar to the children: An Israeli soldier shooting a large gun, a soldier forcing Palestinians off their land, a small Palestinian child dressed in militant's clothing holding a toy gun and Palestinian boys throwing stones.
The albums are sold in cardboard boxes shaped like Israeli tanks and include a dedication from Nablus governor Mahmoud Alul. A child who fills an album with all 129 pictures can win a computer, a bicycle, a watch or a hat.

there really isnt a point to pining fault on any one group...its the individuals...its the parents...

[One?]

the person who made these cards has sold over 6 million. Now if each card was 1$ you can do the math....

[ZeroPositive]

gotta say this is a good sales pitch for the middle east :D
Wish I thought of it earlier make some money outta it like those big arms manufaturers make big bucks during wars.

That doesnt surprise me much, the Palestinains bleed hate for the Jews, for whatever reasons or whos fault is your decesion, but the fact is that the Palestinians (sp probably) hate the Jews like something most of us probably cant even comprehend. As long as they live, Palestinian parents will raise their kids in that hatred, making sure their kid knows how horrible the Jews are and yadadada. They even put up pictures of suicide bombers in elementary schools, so the 6 year olds can be familiar with who blew up what bus killing how many civilians, theyve even found pictures of parents that dressed up their toddlers in mock bomb harnesses attachted to the kids. That truly is sad.

That was just a little witty reply to American Patriot's "foot in the mouth"-reply on another thread. :D

Who resurrected Israel and started this mess? The UK mainly, with hesitant backing from the US. So it's basically the UK's fault in the way they managed the resurrection of Israel.

So if it were up to you "Ben" you wouldnt have created Israel, and had the Jewish race erasaed probably by now?

[Abolith]

correct me if I am wrong but isn't being a "Jew" a religion not a race? I mean befroe WW2 there were german jews and polish Jews and russian Jews...ect...

so doesn't that make it a religion and not a race??

[incubz5]

Abolith,

Judaism is a religion, not a race. That Judaism had anything even remotely to do with race was a 19th century delusion that carried over into the 20th century. No one abides by or believe that anymore, not even the worst enemy of the Jews. Today, Jew haters instead regard Judaism as a secret star chamber controlling the world for its Zionist empire, which is about as laughable as the racism beliefs of the anti-Semites from decades prior.

Sean,

Loved this part "some educators are concerned that the hobby is helping to breed a new generation of militants."

Nooooooo!!!!!!! Really?????? ;)

Jew is an ethnicity. German Jews were not ETHNICALLY german (hence the Nazis didnt have too many problems with identification)

Fear and suspiciosness against those that are different from your own social group is natural, call it racism or whatever you want, it doesn't necessarily have to do with race, (think rich, poor, people at the countryside and people living in a city).

But everything that goes wrong in the world is the US's fault. The end of the 'Friends' series, Seinfield, the death of the dinosaurs, Carrot Top and Andy ****, just to name the biggies
