For some reason, ever since the attack on the Gaza flotilla, everyone has been so sympathetic to “those poor Muslims.” Those poor little human rights and peace activists. Yeah right.

The flotilla headed for Gaza turned out to have not only medical supplies and food, but ammunition and weaponry intended for Hamas. The IDF had every right to search that flotilla, seeing as the hoax of bringing in a ship with “needed medical and food supplies” that turned out to be guns and bombs had been used before. They boarded the ship with nothing but riot gear, while the Muslim terrorist were armed with metal clubs and knives. The first soldier on board was stabbed in the stomach, had his intestines ripped out, and was thrown to the lower deck where he was brutally beaten with metal clubs. The rest of the Israeli soldiers were similarly attacked once they boarded the ship, and were not allowed to use guns until they were almost dead. All the while, as the IDF soldiers were beaten and stabbed by crazened terrorists, the Muslim chant rang loud and clear: “Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, Muhammad’s army is coming for you.”

Peace activists. Right.


The author's comments:
Yeah, this is my response to all the unfair treatment of Israel due to this attack. It is exactly that: unfair. Unfair and ridiculous. But hey, that's the world. And I recommend watching the video on Youtube "We con the World".

Um, not sure you caught on to the accents and clothing, but they were pretending to be the terrorists.

I have previously heard the song on Youtube you are recommending people to listen to... We con the World.  One line stuck in particular with me.  "We must go on, pretending day by day, that in Gaza there is crisis, hunger, and plague."

 

I was just curious about your opinions toward this.

1. First and foremost, I wrote this article with:

 

a) Quite a good understanding of the topic

 

b) Not very good writing skills and

 

c) Too much of a hot head.

 

2. I realize my use of 'terrorists' was offensive.  I wasn't trying to offend, and re-reading it, I'm slightly disgusted.

 

3. I did get my facts straight. Straight as a ruler, dear.  Not one of the bendy kind.  The news portrayed the terrorists as the innocent ones, the victims, while the IDF were evil. Terrible.  Monsters.  There were, in fact, IDF soldiers killed, so perhaps you'd like to look at your facts.

 

Thank you for sharing your opinion and have a great day.

I suggest you educate yourself more before writing about such a sensitive topic, because frankly, I believe you are brainwashed by what news reports show. 

What the news shows is the activists beating the commandos as they were dropped on the ship.  All of the activist's videos were confiscated by Israeli's, there reason being that 'they wanted to preserve the evidence' when really they wanted to hide what really happened.  Innocent activists were killed.  They had absolutely no right to do that, IT WAS INTERNATIONAL WATERS.  That means they have no right to create a blockade.

 

It is also very insulting the way you use the word terrorist.  Get your facts straight before you right something like this.  Nine activists were killed and no Israelis died.

Yeah...it's a sad fact.  I'll look it over.

I don't trust the media. News is not news anymore, if it ever was; everything is opinion. You had some minor grammar errors that could easily be fixed with a quick re-reading/proofreading (i.e. forgetting an s for plurals).

I apologize if this offended you, and to be honest, I often wish I hadn't posted this.  When I read it, it is somewhat rude, and I guess I can understand how it offended you. I didn't mean to imply all Mu.slims are like that, although that seems to be what I did.  There ARE Mus.lim terrorists, and those are the ones who committed this act, but there are terrorists from all re.lig.ions.  Again, sorry.

Your original title was insulting and rude. Good thing they didn't post it that way! Whenever you're expressing a strong opinion, it's good to be clever but never sink to low levels to stir strong feelings from a reader. Furthermore, your essay sounds biased and rude, and even ra*c*i*st to a certain point, not to mention hot-headed. I'm not trying to attack you or your re*l*gi*on or start an argument that would lead to no where because I have my firm beliefs about this incident. It's good to hear other opinions, but I prefer to hear them expressed respectfully.

Well, I'm not going to say that all Mus.lims are like this--they aren't.  But these PARTICULAR Mus.lims were terrorists who slaughtered Israel.i soldiers in cold blood.

Writers are a less dangerous version of the career criminal. Everywhere they go, they see the potential for the perfect crime. The difference is that writers have better self control.

Wow! I was misguided by the media once again. I thought they were peaceful.

Anyway, I thought you expressed your opinion on the issue beautifully, and I completely agree. I'd say more, but my mac & cheese is overboiling.

Perfect example.  Although once you did deviate--you put lmfao.  Meaning is still the same.  Personally, I prefer smileys:)

I fully believe in my faith(duh...the words kinda mean the same thing), but that doesn't mean that I have to be critical of others, or refuse to acknowledge that they have good points.

Just a random thing--is it just me, or do you use the abbreviation lmao A LOT?
