Storyteller: "Once upon a time, when the bullets were flying all over the village, and the Zionist gangs were destroying everything, invading cities and villages, killing the young and the elderly, Muhammad and the guys were hiding. There was a heavy exchange of fire. Between whom? Between people wearing masks – nobody knew who they were - and the accursed Zionists. One side was shooting at the other, and the whole village was ablaze.Video here.
"Everybody was afraid, and people were yelling: 'Stop! The house of the mukhtar [NOfP note: village elder in Arabic] is on fire!' Everybody started screaming and crying, and the men didn't know what to do.
"After a few moments, a group of masked men came down from the roof of the house of the mukhtar. Two of them opened the back door, which led to the garden, and they took the women, the children, and the elderly out. Two other masked men continued shooting at the Jews through the window.
"Everyone started running under the cover of those masked men, until they reached Sheik Nuh in the mosque. What did they see there? They saw Sheik Nuh giving guns to the masked men, saying to them: 'Allah be with you, men! Defend your country and your honor! Don't let any Jew be happy! Attack them, men!'
"Muhammad saw his friend Isma'il among the men. Isma'il was as happy as if it was his wedding night. He held the gun firmly -- a beautiful new gun. Muhammad approached him and said: 'I see that you are happy, Isma'il.' 'Of course I am. Let's show those lowlifes what heroes we are. Let's go, Muhammad!'"
Child: "Did Muhammad know how to use a gun?"
Storyteller: "My dear children, there is not a single Palestinian village or city whose people do not know how to use a gun. Why? Because they have suckled this with their mother's milk.
Given a society schooled in hatred starting extremely young, and a press that refuses to report the brainwashing of children to become killers, is peace possible in the near term?

I dunno. Do you consider radioactive glass peaceful?
No. On the other hand, this is a people so radicalized and violent that if it can be blocked from its enemies, it will kill itself off until cooler heads predominate.
> it will kill itself off until cooler heads predominate.
MoM, you need to read P.J. O'Rourke's "2000 Year Old Middle East Policy Expert"
That area's already been killing itself for 2000 years. How much longer do you expect we can wait?
Something proactive needs to be done. I think Iraq was a good step. We need to better fight this kind of BS in the kids there, and to attack the wahabbist and salfist roots.
That's not going to happen under the current leadership.
> salfist roots
Doh! "Salafist".
