news.xinhuanet.com...

Good find. Certainly doesn't look like your average olive skinned Arab.

I take it this is in Palestine?

Or Iraq?

Right. Palestine.

Palestinian militants set up an explosive device in preparation for a possible Israeli army ground operation in Gaza Strip June 27. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo)

Very sus.

BTW, IMO this post should be put back in the WOT forum. To me it looks like that this propaganda photo is a fake. To me it screams conspiracy.

and the news on their site is
pretty much the same all week

until there's something that higher ups dont like

then it gets purged

nice to see other countries news'es
to see other points of views

and fresher news

Come on do you really think all people in the middle east are of the same extact skin color???

a Few well known middle eastern men which are very light skinned

and to be truthful

i havent seen any other peoples armys
ever wear watches
besides maybe, MAYBE, a few europee in army guys

i zoomed in on the pic and it looks like
the watch has 2 seperate sections/faces/

anybody know if u.s. special forces of anykind
wears a kool communications watch
or something like that

besides,,,
all those hamas/palestine/jihadi guys
why would they even CARE about TIME

watches serve no purpose to them
time is for working/business type people
that need a schedule!!

ask them, an' it's "TIME to KILL"

Okay I'll bite then what is really going on in that picture? Let us know cause I think I can guess what it is. Need to make sure I have two lines here else I'm in trouble...

i've seen a few lighter skinned ones too

but out in that kindof sun all the time

i.....i,just dont know

i get tanned pretty quick
even in northern climate
just having my arm on the edge of the car door

much darker than that guy

and also...........check out his hat
and the color of his pants look greener
than the other guys

the plo and the hammassas,,,
mostly wear kindof NON UNIFORM,,
scrappy lookin stuff

this guys stuff looks to be made perfectly(mass produced)

and his boots too

hammasses guys's booots are dirrerent types and colors
and used looking

Can you post a picture of the zoomed in watch picture. I cant make out any real detail it could easily be a $5 canal street special from that picture. But really even Palestinians can get decent watches Israeli is very high tech and a stones through away.

I cant say I ever seen US special forces wear reflective silver banded watches like that on a mission.

Sorry "yeah right", but you are making an awful lot of unfounded assumpions.

- There is no "standing like americans" to be seen there. If anything there is a particular stance that people adopt when they are carrying a weapon. Even then no properly trained soldier would point his weapon horizontally like the right man.

- As was shown, Middle Eastern people are not uniformly dark-skinned. And the Camera could have lightened up the pic. Besides, when you are living in a hot climate zone you LEARN to avoid sun exposion whereever possible.

- Watches like this, also chronographs, are available everywhere on the world. They range from $5 quality chinese prducts to $50.000 Junghans´ or Patek Philippe´s.

- Military SF certainly don´t have "wrist communicators". Too little range, limited battery. Besides, whats the point in carrying a concealed radio when you still got all the other military equipment on your body? A completely different story would be what secret service operators would carry.

- many Palestinian terrorgroups are organized as paramilitaries. Asuch they tend to adot a certain degree uniform clothing, too.

I don´t know if you are even serious with your "why would they care about time anyway" comment. Are you even aware that these guys arent weekend airsoft warriors, that their professionalismis what makes them so dangerous? Of course they need to know the time!

Not to mention that there ARE foreigners that agree with the Palestinians, and who's to say aren't over there helping them. It's happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, and WWII, and probably every other war ever, so why not there?

mr soldier guy on the right
its not how he holds the gun

its the way he is standing
like many a young punk i've seen standing around

and the zoomed in pic is on my hdd
all i did was copy it from that site
and zoom in on it

everything WAS all peaceful over there
i'm thinkin somebody just might be settin the whole isriael - palestine thing
up to go off bigtime


and it looks BIG they have alot of tanks and stuff
ready to cross the boarder to wipe em' out

What a racist thread.


#1 They cant have nice watches or light skin?


and


#2 Why would they be Americans? American are the only light skinned people on this planet?


Agenda fueled by racism, about as bad as it can be.

What you SHOULD be calling out is why these a$$hats are planting explosives while using kids as human shields.

Arabs are infact considered caucasians. There is a wide variety of skin colours amoung them. The palestinians and native israelis are a related people infact, so looks can be deceiving.

Good spotting though.


As far as the watch, it looks like a cheap metallic watch.

Thanks for pointing that out.I gotta laugh because Most ot the guys/local guys i meet over here are whiter than me..and THAT takes some doing as I have an affliction with going out in 40-50 degree temps

Take a look at some of the local Arabic dressing..Whilst us westerners run around in speedos n thong bikinis

They are a little bit cleverer and actually cover up ..NO sunburn for them to worry about later..

Trying to enhance the watch tho.. curious..Doesnt look like the normal rip off junk you can get here..

Closest i saw is my friend Bedda,s.. his is a rescue helicopter pilot,s with a built in gps transmitter..Will try and enhance pic later.Hmmmm

You're right. The Israelis and Palenstinians are setting it up to go off big time. They don't need any help when it comes to starting fights with each other.

As far as how he's standing, so what, only AMERICAN punks can stand that way?

I think a good watch is a neccesity.
I remember a story of a bomber who was killed when his bomb went off an hour too early.
The cell phone he used as a triggering device had automaticaly adjusted to daylight savings. His watch hadn't.

yeah but WHAT a WAY to start a war huh?

send some of your OWN guys ,
over to shoot some missiles at you

then EVERYONE on YOUR SIDE will want to GET BACK AT THEM

and SHAZZAM we got WAR

and since you are at war
and i'm your buddy
me an my counrty get to jump in too NOW

i've seen/heard of this before somewhere.....................

Who cares if they're light skinned. Even if they are Americans what the big deal? You don't expect to see American soldiers in the middle east? They could be mercs or Special Forces.

Also how exactly do Americans stand that is any different than anyone else.

I understand you're trying to allude to some sort of conspiracy because they're soldiers in masks but I honestly don't follow

I did a tour in the middle east and was actually shocked at the range in complexion of alot of the people. Some were darker than myself ( AfricanAmerican) and others would pass for Caucasian. Even their eye colors varied in that manner, I saw several with hazel or blue eyes. As for the watch, it's really too far to say for sure. It is shiny, but that does'nt make it expensive. Cheap watches tend to shine more than expensive ones, because of the material and glazes they use to make them appear fashionable.
Many times i was approached by small children try'ing to sell me a Rolex watch, that upon inspection was actually a Folex watch. LOL. And as for them being possibly western soldiers in disguise, that would be possible but not likely. If that were soo, the children probably would not be hanging around them, and most well trained soldiers know better than to wear anything shiny in the field. They tend to wear dark and muted colors, or keep them covered if they must have them. Also, for communication purposes, head sets are better than a wrist mounted device. But i'll admit, anything is possible...
