Most of these "Dead Gaza Child Pics" are actually Syrian kids in Syria

[Nick Young]

Many of the shared images are also several years old.

7 Things to Consider Before Choosing Sides in the Middle East Conflict


Amazingly, many of the graphic images of dead children attributed to Israeli bombardment that are circulating online are from Syria, based on a BBC report. Many of the pictures you're seeing are of children killed by Assad, who is supported by Iran, which also funds Hezbollah and Hamas. What could be more exploitative of dead children than attributing the pictures of innocents killed by your own supporters to your enemy simply because you weren't paying enough attention when your own were killing your own?

Here is a question for those who grew up in the Middle East and other Muslim-majority countries like I did: if Israel withdrew from the occupied territories tomorrow, all in one go -- and went back to the 1967 borders -- and gave the Palestinians East Jerusalem -- do you honestly think Hamas wouldn't find something else to pick a fight about? Do you honestly think that this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they are Jews? Do you recall what you watched and heard on public TV growing up in Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Egypt?

Yes, there's an unfair and illegal occupation there, and yes, it's a human rights disaster. But it is also true that much of the other side is deeply driven by anti-Semitism. Anyone who has lived in the Arab/Muslim world for more than a few years knows that. It isn't always a clean, one-or-the-other blame split in these situations like your Chomskys and Greenwalds would have you believe. It's both.

BINGO! Did any of you pro-Hamas pro-terrorist posters ACTUALLY LIVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST? I lived in Cairo for 2 years. You truly have no understanding of what it's like in the Middle East UNLESS YOU HAVE LIVED THERE.

Hamas Spokesperson admits on TV that they are using shields on purpose, and it is a tactic that is proven to be "very effective"

Israel is shelling innocent schools full of peace seeking civilians right?

The UN relief organization UNRWA issued a furious condemnation of Hamas after discovering hidden rockets in not one, but two children's schools in Gaza last week.

Hamas fires thousands of rockets into Israel, rarely killing any civilians or causing any serious damage. It launches them from densely populated areas, including hospitals and schools.

Why launch rockets without causing any real damage to the other side, inviting great damage to your own people, then putting your own civilians in the line of fire when the response comes? Even when the IDF warns civilians to evacuate their homes before a strike, why does Hamas tell them to stay put?

Because Hamas knows its cause is helped when Gazans die. If there is one thing that helps Hamas most -- one thing that gives it any legitimacy -- it is dead civilians. Rockets in schools. Hamas exploits the deaths of its children to gain the world's sympathy. It uses them as a weapon.

5. Why are people asking for Israel to end the "occupation" in Gaza?

Because they have short memories.

In 2005, Israel ended the occupation in Gaza. It pulled out every last Israeli soldier. It dismantled every last settlement. Many Israeli settlers who refused to leave were forcefully evicted from their homes, kicking and screaming.

This was a unilateral move by Israel, part of a disengagement plan intended to reduce friction between Israelis and Palestinians. It wasn't perfect -- Israel was still to control Gaza's borders, coastline, and airspace -- but considering the history of the region, it was a pretty significant first step.

After the evacuation, Israel opened up border crossings to facilitate commerce. The Palestinians were also given 3,000 greenhouses which had already been producing fruit and flowers for export for many years.

But Hamas chose not to invest in schools, trade, or infrastructure. Instead, it built an extensive network of tunnels to house thousands upon thousands of rockets and weapons, including newer, sophisticated ones from Iran and Syria. All the greenhouses were destroyed.

So much knowledge being dropped in this article

If it is genocide and ethnic cleansing, why has Israel given back land, and given produce producing green houses to Gaza?

They also brutally executed around 50 Palestinian civilians two days ago. Bet you didn't hear about that.

To help spin the good spin in its current stoush with Hamas, the Israeli Defence Force has launched a program called IDF Ranks. It's essentially a game about being a mouthpiece for the Israeli Defence Force.

It's aimed at young internet users, both inside Israel but especially internationally, who are told that by signing up they'll be joining "the ultimate virtual army", and be rewarded with promotions and medals for jumping on social media and spreading the good word about... well, war.

Enlisting the common man to do your dirty work is a trick as old as war itself, but this kind of candy-coloured "gamification" is certainly new. Regardless on your thoughts on the conflict at large, I'd hope most people could see the problems, or at least poor taste, in making a game out of "spreading the truth" about one side's role in a war in which real people are dying.

So anyone who isn't brainwashed by Hamas propaganda and looks at things logically is an IDF spy?

The Jew World Order conspiracy continues!

Real people are dying because Hamas is urging real people to stand in the line of fire and die as martyrs.

You have chosen your side, for some reason you picked the side of insane martyring terrorists, and anyone who disagrees with their use of human shields is now an Israeli spy in your eyes?

Have you ever lived in the middle east bruh? Have you ever even been there? You have zero idea what it's like. I don't know how you formed such strong opinions on something you know nothing about.

Why do you?

[Nick Young]

Why do you?

For one thing, I've actualy LIVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST, and I've actually INTERACTED WITH THESE PEOPLE ON A DAILY BASIS.

[Nick Young]

I like how he talks about Hamas propaganda. Yeah, a bunch of low level terrorists who have barely managed to kill one Israeli since this latest conflict began are the ones masterminding the spreading of worldwide propaganda.

Yet Israel, the country being given more US aid than the USA's own people, who are the ones murdering children, and who have been known to pay people to spread the word and turn against Palestine, have no links to any propaganda, right?

Thats what you want us to believe? Nick just come out with it man how much are they paying you?

You are mentally impaired if you think that ISN'T happening. Google Pallywood and educate yourself.


I should be getting paid, considering the amount of Hamas loving morons I have set straight in the past few weeks.

[Nick Young]

For some reason, I highly doubt you have ever lived in Gaza. And why would you? You aint trying to get killed. Lets leave that to the innocent Palestinians, its not our problem.

I lived in Cairo. I have never lived in Gaza and would not go there if I was paid a million dollars.

The 'innocent Palestinians' would not be under attack if they didn't actively aid terrorists by hiding their weapons in underground tunnels, hiding their missiles in schools, hospitals, and ambulances.

If they want they attacks to end, all they have to do is stop launching rockets at Israeli kids. It is really quite simple. Hamas leaders have gone on Palestinian TV telling their own people that they want them to die and martyr themselves, as it is an effective tactic that is working.
