Why cant a six year old throw things at a tank????? You have no idea of the history of the girl - if all shes learnt is to link a big bad tank with personal loss and/or destruction then i could COMPLETELY see why a child would choose to perform such a fruitless act. Have you never seen a small child get so frustrated with something they cant change that they choose to just hit out in a typically small way? i know i have

I really dont see how you can say it was or it wasnt!

:laugh: That is just about the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Yeah sure, out of frustration with her oppression the small, but brave, Palistinian child singlehandidly charges the big mean Israel tank with her little toy. There could be no way that some adult (the same adult who in a few years will be bravely strapping C4 onto the same child) said "Here, take this and throw it at the tank so that I can take your picture..." The fact that you fall for this kind of idiotic propaganda says much about why Europeans believe as they do and are so incredibly icompetent politically.

If I saw any child exposing themselves to that kind of danger I sure as hell would not be taking a picture of it. I would be trying to do something to get them out of the way of danger. That child will end up dead someday in order to further this vile propaganda. The blood will be on your hands.

I didnt say there was no way it could be that - just that it could also be the other way round, ie, its not black & white as you said in your previous post - that was my point.

And sometimes they are clearly black and white - such as a picture of a six year old throwing something at a tank. Six year olds don't do stuff like that on their own.

In the city of Flint, Michigan, a kid of 6 year old was shot by a 6-year-old classmate. Do you believe it was staged too, because "Six year olds don't do stuff like that on their own"? In that case, I believe this child is doing the same as his older brothers, just imitating them. No need of a conspiracy theory to explain his action.

It is absolutely black and white. The picture is propaganda, and the child's life was put at risk to get it (even if it wasn't staged, which I very seriously doubt).

If a picture of it was published in the local paper in order to promote an anti-gun agenda by someone who could have done something to stop it, than, yes, it was staged.

I dont see how an issue can be black and white when all the facts arent available - true it should probably be taken as propaganda, but every media hub in the world relies on those kind of tactics to get their points across. Whether the child was acting alone is certainly a grey area, and i find it more than a little strange that you can argue that. But id guess the best course of action would be to agree to disagree.
Stan Shannon wrote:

Fair play, id agree with that (if the child was indeed being controlled). But i dont control children in any form and neither do i just drink up what any nutjob with a carmera/microphone/keyboard is willing to push out there (yourself included) so i fail to see how the blood is on my hands.

When you're right, you're right. We should indeed. In fact, it would probably have been a great idea to have attacked Somalia first. We could have armed and trained the indiginous population there, and used them to invade Afganistan and Iraq. I'm sure they would have loved a little tit-for-tat. "You get that which you tolerate"

It was done. The US helped the somalian warlords[^] to fight the islamist militias (yes, the same warlords who ousted the GIs in 1994). Now the US might be pushing Ethiopia to intervene as another proxy, the opposite situation to events of 1982.

That is just one dimension of the conflict, and that might be changing Palestinian resistance/terrorism/insurgence is not islamist only. PLO recognized Israel’s right to exist for the first time, in 1988 but it didn't ensure the creation of Palestine either.

Israel is fighting to survive, but so are the Palestinians. Sending helicopter gunships to blow people up is effectively the same as sending young people wearing explosives. Neither is in the right. The Roadmap to Peace was a fantastic idea because it was balanced. I'm surprised and impressed that the US government thought of it and (in my opinion) it's the fault of the people in the Middle East that it didn't work.

Taliban State, this has to be seen. The radical islamism of the UIC is worrying, but it does not mean they will turn to Al-Qaeda supporters. Somalia might even been a safer place now regarding hosting terrorist groups than when it was a 'no-law area'. At least now there could a government responsible for what happens in Somalia. The example of Afghanistan might help them not to do the same mistakes.
