Speaker criticizes Palestinian authority

[Herschel]

Videos of Palestinian children being persuaded to kill and examples of suicide bombers being honored in the Palestinian media resulted in heated debate about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict – leaving students with mixed opinions about whether a presentation hosted by Bruins for Israel on Monday night aided in promoting healthy dialogue.

The presentation was made by Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch, and attended by hundreds of students under the watch of several campus security guards in the second floor lounge of Ackerman Union.

Bruins for Israel showed a video on Bruin Walk last week entitled "How to teach a Child to Kill," to promote the event.

Marcus screened several videos and messages that he said the Palestinian government uses to intentionally foster hate, especially in Palestinian youth. He believes such messages are specifically aimed at encouraging children to kill.

Hopefully both sides will be heard on our college campuses. So many young people are misguided and aquire leftist views on Israel.

1. "Leftist views on Israel?"

Are you saying that right-wing views on Israel would be preferable? I don't think you can make that generalization. There are communist Zionists, no doubt. Meretz is leftist and Zionist. Are they anti-Israel?

6. Wars involve collateral damage

To oppose a war based on it is to oppose all war.

7. No,it's opposing bullshit wars

11. gotta love the disconnect

bomb a wedding - collateral damage

bomb a restaurant - murder

[Forkboy]

12. That's the result

of placing more value on one set of innocents over another set of innocents.

We should,as fellow progressives,value all life the same.

[Herschel]

13. Some recognize intent

and distinguish accidents from murder.

17. Why is it not so? It's very disconcerting.

10. Leftest has the connotation of Democratic Party to me. Which is false

to even suggest the Democratic Party is even remotely anti-Israel. The Democratic party is historical very PRO Israel and the very reason Israel is so strong today. In fact, Reagan's presidency is marked by putting conditions on Israel recieving American aid. Is there any coincidence America has suffered because of Reagan policies to this very day. No.
