He was likely confusing Lebanon with Palestine. Israel fires missiles at civilians in there regularly.Umm, that is false and it's the other way around. The terrorist organizations that are based in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories are the ones who fire rockets into Israel and kill Israeli citizens. In fact there were recent rocket attacks on a place called Sderot, and some rockets were sent to a university in Israel as well, which killed a student there. One of my cousin's brothers was killed in a rocket attack in Israel even.
This video is a hot topic now. Don't try correcting me unless you live in Scandinavia, and read our newspapers. The cartoon itself (the Danish one) is old. I am somewhat confused on whether you believe the cartoon to have been Dutch, because it's not. The whole thing is an effect of a cartoon made by a Danish artist. I do agree with a lot of what's said in your link though.Another thing is these videos are not new. Let me direct you guys to this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=n8eVnY-h7Oo&feature=user. Alan Dershowitz is a supporter of Israel, but he is also very knowledgeable on the events going on in the Middle East as well, and this video explains the motives behind the Muslim world when they put out this kind of stuff, not only videos, but cartoons similar to what a Dutch newspaper put out making fun of Mohamed, which is addressed in the video.
Technically this has to do with what that Palestine TV-show is doing to kids, and that it's teaching them to kill those who do not agree with their point of view. I know it includes Israel as well, but that's given, considering it's Palestine we're talking about here.I think what America is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan has nothing to do with this type of stuff. Yes, we are doing some bad and stupid things over there, but we're not forcing them to change their religion or killing them in the name of God. Hell, they're killing themselves off more then we're killing them, but most of this stuff is directed at Israel. There was a video similar to this one where there was a Mickey Mouse copy in the same setting telling kids that they should martyr themselves for Mohamed and kill Israelis. And if you watch the video I posted, you'll see that the Palestinian government publishes anti-Israel and anti-Semitic cartoons almost every day.
The US is not doing something "right" by fighting Muslim extremists, because they're not actually fighting Muslim extremists. They're fighting Muslims who have been informed by their leaders that the West wants to kill them all, and that they make fun of their religion. If the US was killing Muslim extremists, this would not be a problem, because all the Muslim extremists would then be dead.
What should be done in my opinion is have a nice long talk with all of the Islamic countries, so that we can agree on what is right and what is not. If they expect "us" to play ball, they have to play ball as well.
