The golden shrine of the Dome of the Rock mosque in Jerusalem's Old city can be seen behind a wall being built in the village of Abu Dis in the outskirts of Jerusalem Monday Dec. 29, 2004. The wall is part of the controversial security barrier Israel is building made up of concrete walls, razor wire, fences and trenches and is meant, according to Israel, to keep suicide bombers out. Palestinians condemn the barrier, which dips deep into the West Bank in some areas, as a land grab. (AP Photo/Enric Marti)

Irak, Al Muthanna, Uruk (warka) 1 januari 2004
Uruk, het begin van de beschaving. 3500vc werd hier de eerste stad gebouwd. En Uruk was Mesopotamia's eerste stad. Niet zomaar een stad, maar een met 50.000 inwoners, een muur van 9,5 kilometer lang gebouwd door Gilgamesh op een oppervlakte van totaal 450 hectare. Duitse archaeologen vonden hier vanaf 1912 ook de bewijzen van het eerste geschrift. In het centrum van de stad, bevonden zich twee grote tempels waarvan de resten nog steeds zichtbaar zijn. De gebouwen vertonen de eerste structuren van een tempel. Op de noordwest kant van de stad bevind zich mesopotamische tempel bestaande uit meerdere lagen gemetselde stenen en riet. Vanaf de top van de tempel predikte de priester.

Oh and He219, IDF forces are in the West Bank and Gaza because terrorists are sent from these places almost every day with the sole purpose of killing Israeli civilians. We could also ask why the U.S is in Afghanistan and Iraq...

They are not especially foolhardy or dumb - any more than the cameramen always there to take the pictures are. They know there is little risk that the IDF will shoot them unless they actually do something threatening.

How many pictures have you seen of a Palestinian kid staring down the barrel of a Merkava while throwing a rock? Dozens? Hundreds? Maybe "foolhardy" or "jaded" explains the kid, but what about the cameraman? In almost all those shots the cameraman is in the line of fire as well. While some of them might be "foolhardy" too, most just know there isn't a great danger.

Dave the Dawg
There certainly is grave danger to them. It's foolish to taunt the Soldiers.
The cameramen are not approaching the tanks as they are. Molotov cocktails are regularly thrown. A shaped charge placed correctly would be devastating to the crew. They could just as easily get caught under the treads and get squished like a jellybean.....

If you don't want to get into a debate about these kinds of things you shouldn't ask these kinds of questions in the first place.

Your helping them rebuild are you? Is that the only reason you went in there? I thought the reason you were in Iraq and Afghanistan was to fight terrorism, of course helping them rebuild is a part of that fight. But in the the end the main reason the U.S is there is to protect it's interests, so please spare me the whole "were there to free the oppressed" speach since I doubt anyone in the U.S government even thought of "rebuilding" Afghanistan before 9/11.

LOL! so are you telling me that when you wanted to smoke a cigarrete as a teen your parents gave it to you? or when you wanted to drink (although you are underage) your parents gave you the fake ID and the alcohol?

Who said these kids are forced by their parents to throw rocks. Anyone who sees his father, brother, friend die would go out and throw rocks.

Did I say they were forced? Maybe not forced but probably encouraged, look at the example I gave of the mothers of suicied bombers. Of course it's not just the parents but also the Palestinian society that glorifies stone throwers and dead terrorists.

In 1993, while TFR was conducting operations in Somalia...CWO Michael Durant had his bird rested in the desert waiting for the Rangers to finish up some training. The Somalis would of course flock to Americans for goodies and such. Durant sat on top of the bird because he had not eaten in days while the rest of his crew tried to watch the crowd and give some goodies to the children. Durant then sees a couple Somali teenagers sneaking suspiciously away with something underneath their shirt...Michael jumps down and looks under his seat...NVG's gone...chases the bastards with his MP5 through sand dunes and eventually to the edge of the city, popped a few rounds...they eventually got them back.though. :D

Depends on the children...if they were just innocent kids who wanted to play on a cool tank then why not...win some hearts and minds. If they were obviously not there for good, then I would be like, "Sorry kids, you gots to get the f*** out :bash: "

No that's certainly not the reason, but rebuilding is the solution. To occupy and destroy without respecting the well-being of the indigeous would be quite ethnocentric and contrary to the objectives of establishing a lasting PEACE!


I thought the reason you were in Iraq and Afghanistan was to fight terrorism, of course helping them rebuild is a part of that fight.

You can rant all you want, but until you respect the wellbeing of the Palestinians - As your own - you can not expect PEACE or the children to stop throwing rocks at you.

Uruk, the beginning of civilization. The first city was built here around 3500 BC, and Uruk was Mesopotamia's first city. Not just any city, but one with 50.000 citizens, a wall of 9,5 kilometers long built by Gilgamesh on a total land of 450 hectare (1 hectare = 10000 m2, so 450 hectare is ~1112 acres). Since 1912 German archeologists also found here the proofs of the first writings. In the centre of the city there were two temples of which the remains are still visible. The buildings show the first structures of a temple. On the northwest side of the city theres a mesopotamian tempel existing of ceveral layers of masoned (as in masonry) stones and straw. From the top of the tempel the priest spread his word.

Who do you think built their infrastructure? Who supplies them with water and electricity? Israel even funded the PA but guess where the money went.... Israel also gives much humanitarian aid. Here is a list:

The historic ship will be relocated and homeported across the bay in San Diego, as the centerpiece for America's largest museum devoted to carriers and naval aviation.

The school’s mission is to ensure each student is prepared to survive an ejection or bailout at sea. Subjects taught at the survival school include: parachuting into water, survival equipment, search and rescue techniques, medical and psychological aspects of sea survival, and hazardous marine life. Hands-on training is emphasized, and a "stepping stone" approach is used to gradually bring the students up to proficiency in using their equipment. U.S. Navy photo by Gary Nichols. (RELEASED)
