Anakin Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Found something interesting on the holocaust, didn't know this before and don't know how accurate it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amin_al-Husseini If that's true, basically they are denying something they took part in.
Dhondy Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Of course, that wasn't the only time that European Jews have been persecuted in history. Thousands of Jews fled systematic state persecution termed "pogoms" in the current states of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus, then under the Soviet empire, and fled mainly to the UK between 1880 and 1910.
Anakin Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Not only the jews, ethnic cleansing and genocides have been happening too many times
Predator_05 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Puts Israel's actions into perspective doesn't it ? The world needs to wake up and stop antagonizing them for protecting their own people.
Anakin Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I do understand their pain and actions, but what I don't like is the fact they go overboard too often.

Dhondy Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Just one request- please don't post photos of babies dying of hunger. It's too painful to bear.

Ram Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Reality Bites.. I should learn to put things into perspective... A couple mediocre grades arent the end of the world after all !
CC1981 Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Puts Israel's actions into perspective doesn't it ? The world needs to wake up and stop antagonizing them for protecting their own people. Two wrongs dont make a right..Israel committed its own genocide and terrorism too against the palestinians.
CC1981 Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Just one request- please don't post photos of babies dying of hunger. It's too painful to bear. Seconded...didnt need to see that haunting hand...
theguyinallblue Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 its painful.. we should show these pictures to those who talk about wars..
Lurker Posted June 15, 2007 Author Posted June 15, 2007 Once upon a time PLO was Numero Uno in Palestine struggle. The military wing Fatah was the strongest. Today it lies in tatters with Hamas having over-run PLO/Fatah/Yasir Arafat ideology & legacy. The above pictures says it all. xx
Cricketics Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 man gambit, those were some heart breaking pictures.. seriously...
