really kind of flabbergasted by some of the responses on here...

seriously you guys living in the West need to realize fast and understand that your 'poverty' line is at least two exponential points (or more) higher then most of the rest of the world. Apparently in Milwaukee being under the 'poverty' line is owning 2 cars, multiple TV's, computers and other electronics. poverty in most of the rest of the world means literally having to live in a shack with no hope of finding a job to support your family and possibly your children.

and no this is not a Darwin award, fvck you for thinking that. It's a cry of desperation, not stupidity. It is a desperate situation over there for many people. Many of them can't simply wait around for white man's burden to kick in or Hamas to roll over and die.

We always lament when people commit suicide. Think about it, situation is so bad that your willing to set yourself alight, to try to bring dire attention to a problem within the society. Without trying to directly physically harm anyone else.So rather then lament that someone put themselves through enormous pain and death to get a message across. what they'll get in response is laughs and darwin award jokes?

fvck you...

The living conditions in some parts of Gaza are like 3rd world countries and many of their meals comes from donations from other countries or charities (Israel donates food and supplies on a regular basis). I feel bad for the kids family and it is sad news, like I said.

However I still believe Israel has the right to exist and they have to ensure the safety of civilians. I believe that peace is possible, but it won't be easy. Even within Israel it's self there is conflict. We Jews do not agree on much and often argue, in Israel there is a growing conflict between the strict Orthodox Jews and the Secular non religious Jews.

I believe that education is the best way to secure peace in the region. But Israel has every right to exist and I do not like it when people say differently. It is not ok for Hamas and Hezbolla to fire rockets at civilians.

It is true. Israel gives the Gaza 10 million dollars each month as aid. Gaza just lies about it.

Palestinians expose Gaza Flotilla lies about food aid and - YouTube

Here is more proof. Read http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/HumanitarianAi

Over 70% of Gaza electricity power comes from Israel. And Israel gives them medical treatment for free.

See here is more:

IDF sends 14,000 tons of aid to Gaza - JPost - Israel

Israel gives fuel to UN aid agency in Gaza - Israel News, Ynetnews

Israel takes care of people. But all people in Gaza should have better living conditions. You and I can at least see eye to eye on this.

I'm sorry about your situation GazaAli

If I recall correctly TehFuneral is from Dubai, and from what I've read from him it sound like he and his family are pretty well off.

i have no idea why you guys want the jews out of there.

the entire middle east would fall upon itself like a pack of rabid dogs if there was not the jews and isreal to focus the hate on.

you are lucky to have a common enemy to keep the attention on.

here is the list of tibetian immolations.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] Arabic and English here. I came close to actually speaking Japanese, then I dropped it... I actually tried to learn French , but I pretty much forgot everything very quickly after learning it. the only languages I can actually claim to speak well are Hebrew and English.BossPerson

Mandarin is hard I hear, but I would love to learn it. I like the Chinese people, it sucks they live unde communism but China is where the money is at.
