ITT people bashing religion. Blaming this violence on religion is like blaming the milk for spilling. It's people who are responsible for this, driven by a combination of misplaced nationalism and an ongoing skirmish over a disputed territory. To try and blame this horrible violence on religion is to, in a way, relinquish responsibility from the individual committing these crimes by shifting the blame away from him. For instance, if an israeli soldier shot a child and this was printed in the news as "Israeli army shoots child", that man is not being held responsible and the blame is shifted to a general idea that can't be directly pointed out. Also, from what I have seen so far of this documentary, it is incredibly biased and only shows one side of the battle, but then again, Australian based news tends to do this pretty often (think news corp).

Bad people exist and will do bad things. Unfortunately lots of them use their religious viewpoint as an excuse to do these things.

You are proof that some people are opening their eyes. We will eventually have justice and freedom for Palestinian people. Keep up the good work and keep informing people.

From the same film:

3 Year old girl paralysed for life after being stoned by Palestinians . Should the headline be "Palestinians stomping on the heads of Jewish girls" instead?

This is why it is a pretty good documentary as they showed both sides effected.

To answer your question I would say its about the state's actions towards the people its ruling. Why is there a difference between a Jewish child and a Palestinian child if they are being ruled by the same, that is racism at its peak.

It did a very poor job at showing both sides, the fact that the title is "Israelis torturing non-Jewish children" is more than enough to call the film biased

So why then title your post "Israelis torturing non-Jewish children"? Perhaps to allow us to go into the documentary with an open mind?

Religion fucking poisons EVERYTHING.

Cmon now,

Life is much worse in systematically non religious states of the 20th century. Soviet Union, North Korea, China, Albania, Cuba, Cambodia. Altogether responsible for more bloodshed than the previous 20th centuries combined.

The Illegal settlements need to be wiped out and the Israeli war criminals executed for their crimes.

Will the leaders of Hamas also be executed?

This is just disgusting and all, but on unrelated note, I find it amazing that occupying solders actually knock on the door when they come, while in the US SWAT teams don't even bother to that
