they werent given the land, the israelis, they were told that it was ok for them to hold their own as they would be funnelled weapons and armor from the CIA and MI6. 3 million arabs fought against hundreds of thousands of zionists during those cold moments in the late 1940s.
how do you think they did it? no, jahbulon or whoever they refer to as g-d didn't help em. plain and simple arming once side to later arm the other. now, they both are armed by contractors playing both sides. the IDF, having more money, can buy the gunships, helpicopters, and tanks necessary to take on palestinian militants ON FOOT.
and what happened in Jenin? shhhhh... right?
so the entire thing is just plained botched up. if you see kids doing this sort of thing, this is a sure-fire sign that things are INCREDIBLY WRONG.

We've had this topic a while back.As I remember then someone posted lots of pictures of American Children dressed as Rambo.You could also take the American preoccupation of dressing their prepubescent daughters up to look like tarts.
NetChicken seems to believe that any rational explanation is Pro-Palestinian.He equates that with Anti-Israeli.
The blind failure of some to apreciate both sides of the story is staggering.
Yes Palestinians in general hate Israelis but instead of criticising the symptons that that hate manifests itself in,perhaps the root cause of those symptoms should be looked at.Namely the illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
I am aware that NetChicken's view is popular and prevailing in some circles which is why it appears so hypocritical coming from people who claim to be open minded.
