It’s interesting. another punch to the stomach. Israel, one of the most militarily advanced countries, is afraid of knowledge being gained by the people they oppress. and we are conspirators in that effort. No news media coverage..really no concern and yet we have poured billions of dollars into that region it can only be said to subjugate. No justice, no peace.

Ayesha,

Thanks for reproducing my post on Ahmed. I haven’t heard anything new in his case, but I am hoping for the best.

These young boys obviously do not subscribe to the same violent, destructive values as those who perpetrate harm on others. This is evidenced by their aspiration to work hard and enter internationally recognised institutions of learning. Alienating such bright,talented, motivated folk will not only deprive them the opportunity to become the moderate spokespeoples of the future, and indeed, the bridge between the Middle East and the West. It also leaves them vulnerable to anger and alienation, marking them prey to those who would wish them believe the West plays out those they promised objectivity, meritocracy, democracy to, on prejudice. Fear of such demographics are not entirely unwarranted by the US especially, but it should not hold back the passage of values being translated in its truest sense.

In 1947 your leaders were offered half of everything. They declined thinking they would just kill all the jews.

They drew first blood. They’ve never called off their declaration of war.

Want to hate someone? Your incompetent, disfunctional, ongoing bloodthirsty leaders are destroying your present and your future.

Call for the destruction of Israel. Call for the destruction of the U.S.A. Support suicide bombings. Root for the enemies of the aforementioned.

And then you want favors? You want your enemies to gamble that you won’t blow yourself up in a supermarket with women and children?

Stop the missiles. Stop all terrorist activities. Stop training children to be human munitions. And then, when you can be trusted, you will have access to those things you now denounce.

Stop whining and take responsibility for what you have wrought.
