life in Gaza is a constant gauntlet of Israeli sniper fire, military rockets and army bulldozers. No one is safe. In light of the escalating tensions, we’re bringing back one our most moving documentaries, a hard-hitting expose of life in the Occupied territories. We speak to the children caught in the crossfire and find out the true cost of Israel’s targeted assassinations policy.
A little boy screams in agony. There’s shrapnel in his eye, leg, stomach and feet. He was playing in the street outside his house when an Israeli helicopter fired missiles at the car of a Hamas member. Ten minutes later, the helicopter returned and fired two more bombs at the decimated car, spraying the surrounding district with sharp metal darts. Makmoud was just 1 of 47 people injured in the attack. Four others were killed.
The feeling in Gaza is that the West accepts this type of action. It doesn’t matter how much so called ‘collateral damage’ it causes. Whichever side kills last says it is a response to the one before. In the grim calculus of this conflict, around three Palestinians die for every Israeli killed. It’s an equation that keeps old hatreds fresh.
Israel’s hardline policy may only be aimed at militants but it’s the civilians who end up paying the price. 12 year old Huda Darwish was sitting in her classroom when a stray bullet from an Israeli sniper hit her. After three weeks in a coma, she is finally waking up. Her relatives’ joy quickly vanishes when they realise that the bullet has left her blind. The reality of her shattered life suddenly hits her. “I want to die. Why did this happen to me?” she asks. Her family have no answers.
We visit Huda’s school in Rafah to see how the accident could possibly have happened. The school is run by the United Nations on a big open site not easy to miss. But an Israeli military position is situated just 500 metres away. As we enter her classroom, a shell explodes nearby. The children flee terrified under their desks. One girl is so traumatised she is in a state of shock. Their teacher says that this happens all the time.
Almost every day, Israeli troops leave their base in Rafah to bulldoze Palestinian houses. “This is a combat area,” explains Colonel Pinky Zoaret. He says he needs to destroy the houses to deny the terrorists cover. But most of the houses belong to ordinary Palestinians. Thousands have lost their homes. And there’s no compensation for the dispossessed. “I can’t sleep,” confides resident Doctor Sameer. “I smoke about 40 to 50 cigarettes a night.” All his life savings are in his house but he knows he could lose it at any time.
Those who try and stop the violence can end up paying with their lives. Rachel Corrie was one of them. She brought the Palestinians’ plight to the world’s attention when she died, crushed by an Israeli bulldozer while trying to protect a building. The IDF maintain that she died because of her own irresponsible and illegal behaviour. But eye witnesses tell a different story. “The driver could clearly see she was there,” states her friend. “But instead of stopping, he continued forward.”
Months later, there are more high profile killings in Gaza. British photographer Tom Hurndall was shot trying to rescue a six year old girl who was stuck out in gunfire. Then cameraman James Miller was killed by Israeli fire. “James died because we trusted them to behave like a civilised army. We knew they could see that we weren’t armed and that we were carrying a white flag. We trusted them not to kill us under those circumstances and they shot James anyway,” states his colleague Saira Shah.
Gaza still remains a killing zone.

Posted: Nov 22 2008, 12:14Report AbuseI've watched the video and I think batter to say I know that this show has shown only one side of the coin.
go and make a short moive in cities like SHDEROT which has been suffring from terrorism for so long and countune to.
If you don't know they are killing israli pepole they don't care who have they killed
arbic terrorists boomb themselves in busses,resturnats and more public places in order to kill innocent citizens whie we keep efforts only to harm terror organization
our goverment supplies medicl help,food,electricity to GAZA
Hello. I don't define my self as a Jew, christian nor Muslim although i am a Jew by my passport.
Posted: Dec 28 2008, 11:27Report Abusei define myself as an Israeli because i live in Israel.
i saw the video clip on youtube and i have a few things to say.
this video of course shows only one side in this terrible struggle between Israelis and Palastines.
Dead children and innocent people, Israelis or Muslims or Christians, are always horrible.
Who is responsible to this struggle? Hamas. they are the true terrorists, hiding behind innocent people of GAZA. Sending thousands of rockets on people of southern Israel.
try to imagine this situation in your country: Rockets are falling on you, Suicide Bombers exploding your buses, restaurants, hotels and malls. what would you do? will you do nothing?
Its easy to take each side in this struggle and be subjective towards the other side.
Have no mistake, Israel also makes mistakes. I feel true pain when kids dieing in Gaza, and homes are ruined for nothing.
there are no winners at this war and the end is not near.
when human beings will understand that before religion they need to put respect, piece, and kindness, our humanity will suffer.
I dont know if i believe in GOD, but if there is a God, He Left this place.
I wish you all health and happiness.
وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْكِتَابِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيرًا (4)
Posted: Dec 29 2008, 02:05Report Abuse[4] And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture: indeed you would do mischief in the land twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant!
فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ أُولَاهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادًا لَنَا أُولِي بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجَاسُوا خِلَالَ الدِّيَارِ ۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدًا مَفْعُولًا (5
[5] So, when the promise came for the first of the two, We sent against you slaves of Ours given to terrible warfare. They entered the very innermost parts of your homes. And it was a promise (completely) fulfilled.
ثُمَّ رَدَدْنَا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَمْدَدْنَاكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ أَكْثَرَ نَفِيرًا (6
[6] Then We gave you a return of victory over them. And We helped you with wealth and children and made you more numerous in man-power.
إِنْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرًا (7
[7] (And We said): "If you do good, you do good for your own selves, and if you do evil (you do it) against yourselves." Then, when the second promise came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disgrace your faces and to enter the mosque (of Jerusalem) as they had entered it before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that fell in their hands.
This is a reply to the Israeliwarrior,

Palestine is our land and we water it with our bloods, you were kicked out of eaurope because you are so much liked :)
Yeah you can be happy to see the Palestinian kids dying because you are afraid as they grow up
I can't believe you guys, you actually replying this person ? What do you think, that he is representing something or someone ?
Posted: Dec 30 2008, 08:09Report AbuseAs an Israeli I feel shame for it. I believe that this is a 12 years old, stupid kid that is just trying to ferment you, and he succeeded.
And to Mike, what makes you think that this is what I've learned in school ? or that is what my parents told me ? are you really that ignorant ?
stop fightin war start supporting peace
Posted: Dec 31 2008, 15:17Report Abusewe cant stop violence with violence
this comes for an israeli who has been called a terrorist according to the coments here. (i grew up in this beutiful country all my life; both sides are tired from this situation , arabs and jews)
we are not terrorists and common arabs and palestinians are not either. the terrorists are the corupted leaders that use the benefit of money that i suppose to be used for support as a tool for power.
stop being blind wake up listen to your hearts
peace and love to you all!
I am a Jew (by my mother) and a Tunisian (by my father),french citizen,without any religious belief.
Posted: Jan 01 2009, 23:40Report Abusepeople of my family died during World War 2, and I had no circonsicion since many boys in France died because of it (German soldiers identified jewish boys that way).
When I see what Israel soldiers do, I feel shame. Personally, I never could press the trigger if I knew that my missile will targer a crowded area, and when I see the face of these paestinian kids, i can not help viewing this old picture of that terrorized jewish kid in the ghetto of varsovy, raising his arms with german soldiers laughing in his back.
I do not support Hamas neither, but I feel that palestinian have no other choice than that.
Once more, israeli should remember the insurrection of the varsaw ghetto. In the end, people put gasoline on them and ran towards tanks. They knew that they would be killed anyway, so better die while trying to kill enemies. Don't you feel that, from a palestinian viewpoint, the Hamas is pretty similar?
only one option to kill israel thats it no other peace compromise can exist
Posted: Jan 02 2009, 00:56Report AbuseHello,
Posted: Jan 03 2009, 00:20Report AbuseI disagree with those who said that this documentary is not neutral & gived only 1side view, in front of OCCUPATION, barbaric agression & terror, we can not be neutral & make equal the OCCUPIER & the victims of THE brutal occupation. The killings of israelis are simply a NORMAL CONSEQUENCE of a BRUTAL israeli OCCUPATION.
Israel is occupying the west bank, east Jerusalem & Gazza since 1967, & is VIOLATING international laws that orders them to leave occupied territories to the Palestinians . A barbaric occupation & violation of UN decisions that is lasting 42 years ago !!!! while the "civilised world" is croosing his hands watching !!!!
Seek information & educate yourselves please before calling people "terrorists", you are judging the people who are under the longer occupation & apartheid laws ever known in history, they have no option other than defending themselves to survive, or to die in most decent way instead of continual humiliations, terror & INDIFFERNCE from the world.
OCCUPATION 101
Posted: Jan 03 2009, 15:40Report Abusehttp://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-2451908450811690589&ei=RANdSYeYJZHG2gKCppDDDw&q=occupation+101&hl=fr
A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.
The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.
The film has won several awards from various film festivals.
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land
Posted: Jan 03 2009, 15:47Report Abusehttp://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-6604775898578139565&hl=fr
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This pivotal documentary exposes how the foreign policy interests of American political elites--oil, and a need to have a secure military base in the region, among others--work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to exercise a powerful influence over how news from the region is reported.
Israel has been the instigator of the situation for many years. Since it made independance this country grows on the garden soil of hate and scorn. The politic is to push the palestinans away from agricultural territories and water sources. I believe Israel is risponsible.
Posted: Jan 04 2009, 15:50Report Abusefriends, try to read Genesis Chapter 16, when the God of Israel said to Hagar that Ishmael his son will live in HOSTILITY with his brothers. this is it, the wars! Muslims claims to be the descendant of Ishmael and the Israelis claims to be the descendant of Isaac. these wars are just proofs that what was written in the Bible are facts.
Posted: Jan 08 2009, 05:50Report Abusethe God of Israel is indeed the true God. He identified the main problem, THE HUMAN HEART. the human heart is desperately wicked. This God has been battling with the SINS of His people, yet these people were hard headed, disobedient. They are still waiting for the messiah that has been promised for them by God through their prophets.
The messiah did come. However, they didn't realized that it was Jesus. because of their unbelief, they killed him through the Romans. we, non-Jews benefited with the salvation that was promised for them. a salvation from sin.
God did not left this world. His love endures up to this very day and the days to come.
His kingdom is not in this world, he proved that when He offered his body as a ransom for the sins and raised from the dead and went back to his kingdom. This God offered forgiveness. the main problem is, we human cannot accept the fact that this God offered forgiveness to us through Jesus. as an offering for our sins!
and to humble down ourselves to Jesus is very hard; there are some people also that claims to be followers of Jesus yet didn't truly humble down themselves to him. why? because we are blinded by our wicked desires, by our selfishness, and hatred.
the followers of the real Jesus, not the one representing by the pope of the romans, didn't fight back against these jews and romans. instead they were sent to prison and killed at the steak in the roman killing arena, where the blood of martyr's of Jesus are their entertainment.
they didn't fight back because they knew that the real kingdom is not here in this world. this earth is just a temporary place and there is a place prepared by God for those who believe in the name of His Son Jesus.
the solution to these problem was provided by God 2000 years ago. he didn't left us. we are the one who left Him, rejected Him, despised Him, mocked Him bcoz we think that the humbleness he did on the cross was just a mere weak thing. wrong, God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. Jesus, God himself, humbled himself, naked in front of his creation. did not count equality with God.
so let us humble ourselves before God and believe that we cannot save ourselves and God did provide the offering for our sins for us to live a new holy life and be with Him...
My friends we are talking of Israel as the author of the Palestine . We forgot that Palestine occupied land . It has the right of the resistance
Posted: Jan 15 2009, 20:46Report AbuseThere are in the law The Guardian that the occupied territory may be resistance and defend even recover their freedom . Despite the massacres by Israel and silence European global and approval of the U.S., the people of Gaza remains steadfast
We must not forget that in 1948, Jews, representing 6 percent of the Palestinian people, however, was divided when the United Nations Palestine gave them 54 percent for statehood and the rest of the establishment of a free Palestinian state have not done yet until now.
Even in the war must be respect for the international instruments and should not be throwing cluster bombs on civilians and segregation and children, as in the Treaty on the Fourth Geneva
respond to Eddie who said :
Posted: Jan 19 2009, 07:32Report Abuse(((Hamas. they are the true terrorists, hiding behind innocent people of GAZA. Sending thousands of rockets on people of southern Israel.
try to imagine this situation in your country: Rockets are falling on you, Suicide Bombers exploding your buses, restaurants, hotels and malls. what would you do? will you do nothing? )))
dont you ask your self why the hell Hamas sending rockets? dont u ask yourself why the hell there is random ppl bomb their self in israel??? ((Hamas dont agree about sucide boming by the way u can check Isamel hanya who present hamas talking about this))
how ever mr Eddie all these things Hamas doing and the random ppl doing to israel is generated in the begning by israel cause of many reason like .. Blockade the border NO EXIT NO ENTRY blockade the port and no more fishing , detroying thier farms/houses for stupid reasons and targeting thier leaders with few civilians victoms and many many more!!
imagine all these things happen to u what u do??? i can imagine if u have enough courage u may bomb ur self in israeli bus.
dam israel and the god dam to British goverment who plant israel in palastin just to get ride of them, israel was nothing , ther eis no nation named israel u were wasted around the world with no nation because u realy dont deserve a nation like other ppl around the world!
Sidenote: within eight years as i know only less than 20 israeli have been killed with Hamas Rockets and 4000 israeli killed with car accident!
do you realy compare 20 israeli to 1200 palastain and over 5000 injured????
if u do u are extremly racial!
man i need to go talking to jews waste of time otherwise i can type for all day
i think the state of israiel will no longer be able to stand up on it's feet like before, because the time has come to judge them all and have them all behind bars for all the crimes they have commited ,starting from the time they gathered together to drop prophit yousef in the wel ,and they did up to this time having a massive holleycost on the palastenian inoccent children.and i thing this judgement will be in the hands of sayed hassan nassrallah whom god has given him full authority on the jewish , because they deserve it.
Posted: Jan 19 2009, 23:24Report AbuseThis whole 'point of view' is biased and full of ignorance, hate and mendacity.
Posted: Jan 23 2009, 19:38Report AbuseBottom line there is good and bad on both sides, as there is anywhere else.
and so many idiots, especially online, that you can not know who's who... so it's all propaganda.
I would not reply to "IsraeliWarrior", either an as***le trying to ignite this debate, a jew-hater trying to cast them unfavorably or an immature moron that has never seen the suffering of either side. empty words that should have been taken out a while ago.
stop accusing one another. leaders on both sides tell their people that the other side only understands force. so there will be no solution. and the only people who benefit are those in power at both sides. it's time for the citizens to demand loudly and forcefully a peaceful solution that is just to both nations, and that guarantees liberties and safety for all.
then all those hate mongers commentators will finally have to go and get a life !
fact:
Posted: Jan 24 2009, 15:53Report Abuseisreal never existed!it occupied territory that belonged to the palestinians!!!
so all of u out there yelling and screaming tell me if someone came to your house and said get out of here this is mine, you are going to peacefully just leave and let them take over whats yours????????? or are you going to resist an illegal occupation?????????
answer this and then we talk.
The point is the palestinians are the underdogs. The western media only reports one side of the story and it is completely unfair. Israel CREATED Hamas, by their unfair policies--forcing the palestinians to live like confined animals, forcing them to go through checkpoints, killing their children and stripping them of their humility. Hamas is in response to Israel's evil. There is a heartbreaking desperation about a child who is unafraid to throw rocks at an opponent who carries a gun. The palestinian people have a human right to defend themselves, and any human being in their situation would do the same. What are they supposed to do just accept their conditions? Just lie down and deal with their situation? Anyone of us would become desperate and not care about our own selves when everything around us is being taken away--our family, friends, homes, water, food, all human needs. The number of palestinians dead versus israel tells the truth--it is unfair and completely evil what Israel is doing, and those who support Israel are likewise. Zionism, is not true Judaism, and it's foundation is ungodly and completely goes against the Torah. Only something that is ungodly can commit such atrocities.
Posted: Jan 27 2009, 08:03Report Abusewhy hamas send rocket to israel??.. because israel seized palestine land and chase palestine people.... Israel.. please dont said u are innocent.. Fuck U! any country where sympathy to Israel can be donate their land.
Posted: Feb 06 2009, 11:10Report Abuseim a united states citizen who lives in texas, i have no ethnic affiliation to the middle east in any way shape or form. i watched last month (january) live via a webcam set up in gaza city as israeli helicopters fired rockets at apartment buildings, and as israeli artillery dropped white phospherous on civillians, i know they were civillians because i could hear children screaming and crying. they essentially would relight the fire every time the palestinians would put it out. im not sure if i find it disturbing simply because of what it is, or because my tax dollars support it. the f-16s i saw fly by and drop bombs were built in a factory not to far from my home, and i know some of the people who built them. i even worked for a subcontractor that made the air intake stencils for the ah-1 cobra gunships the israelis were using to fire rockets at civillians. and their blood is on the hands of every american and british citizen, for not only refusing to stop this, but offering military and monitary aid to this racist and totalitarian country.
Posted: Feb 13 2009, 19:58Report AbuseTo all those who continually repeat the party line that Gazans are firing (home made) rockets into Southern Israel, a fact:
Posted: Mar 23 2009, 21:30Report AbuseUntil a peace agreement is reached, the only 'agreement' that legitimises Israel's right to exist or defines its borders is the UN GA Resolution 181 from November 1947 - otherwise known as the Partition Plan.
The plan offered over 55% of Palestine to the immigrant Jewish people, and 45% to the indigenous Palestinian population. The following year the new breed of 'fighting Jew' (Ben-Gurion's term - not mine) took 78% and named it Israel.
However - Sderot (where many a photo opportunity takes place for visiting foreign diplomats), Ashkelon, Ashdod and even Be'ersheba all lie in the area of the Partition map earmarked for the creation of the Palestinian State. And as such, until such time Israel comes to the negotiating table, they lie within occupied Palestinian territory, not sovereign Southern Israel.
it is a great film that describes Palestinians life in every day .
Posted: May 21 2009, 17:11Report Abusebut i would like to inform all Israelis people this land is not your historic land each one from you is from a country and there is not any relation among them else the religion
and the Palestrina people is the owner of this land so go out .
second , i would like to ask the Israelis why is hamas making the home rocket ?
do you think that the people are very happy with the War?
but there is no way to survive else the war in this way they can protect themselves .
If you Palestinians are so brave as you all say, why don't you all go thru Israel and fight all of you one for all? Why I only see in the videos a few people fighting and the most of them just watching? I think only a few palestinians are fighting and all the rest are talking, lol. If you were brave you would go to war.
Posted: Jun 04 2009, 21:38Report AbuseKilling Inoccent people and stealing their land then accusing them of being terrorist makes you happy and proud. Of Course Palestinian are evil since you are in a Zionist Jew site. These people Killed Jesus and all the Prophets how can people trust them. No one are fooled except people who believe there talk. If Zionist Jew were so good you will see the entire world would appreciate them but them showed the world that they act like a snake with two heads. Palestinan Kids are dying in a daily basis and you are saying Gaza is a dangerous zone!! Who made it dangerous except these Zionist Jew

Before the year 1948 there is NO state called Israel.The whole land belongs to Palestinians and they are Arabs.The Masjidil Aqsa belongs to the Muslims all over the world.It was the first direction of prayer of the Muslims.The British planted Israel in Palestine and they declared Israel as a state in 1948 and they bring all the Jews from all over the world to Israel.So all Israel actually belongs to Palestinians.
Posted: Feb 23 2010, 08:55Report AbuseSooner or later Palestine will be back to the people of Palestinians and there will be NO state called Israel then,believe me that time will come for sure.It is just like India which was once occupied by the British,indonesia was once occopied by the Dutch ( 350 years )Egypt was once occopied by the British and France.Malaysia was colonized by the British and so many countries occopied many countries.But at last those occupied countries took their independences from the occupiers by combats or by deals.
We are promised by Allah(God of all the creatures in the universe) ( there is only one God for all the creatures in the universe) that we are going to take Palestine back from the hand of Israeilis,that we are goinbg to take the mosque back from the hands of the Israelis .The time will surely come.Maybe after 40 years,50 years,75 years or maybe 100 more years .We will struggle for the freedom of Palestine and Jerusalem.A Muslim
ISRAEL ARE THE REAL TERRORIST...HUDAS ANG MGA ISRAELITA...ISRAEL MUST BE BURRIED IN HELL....
Posted: Feb 26 2010, 03:43Report Abuseit's obvious that israel want whole land without palestine. that's why israel kill anyone in gaza and west bank like they got killed by the nazis. i hate to say this but israel is like a cancer of the world. i do hope israel will disappear from sight someday.
Posted: Feb 27 2010, 08:54Report AbuseMost of the people if not everybody knows what is going on in Palestine; just some people prefer to kill and shed blood in order to establish a Zionist state in the region. Others support them, eventhough they know that the land does not belong to them. The history says the land belongs to the Palestinians and noone else because they were there first when Jews were brought by the British to the land of Palestine. If some Jews bought land from the Palestinian farmers, it did not mean that they had purchased the whole Palestine, since noone can sell his land and go and live somewhere else. They could have lived in peace with the Palestinians, but the Zionists want to take over the Palestinian's land and kick them out no mattter what it would cost them. However, the land remains Palestinian and the owners remain Palestinians no matter what the Zionists would do to claim that this is their land. In addition, it does not give them the right to persecute the whole nation of Palestine ...

Posted: Jul 10 2010, 12:22Report AbuseOk first of all i am a man of all nations. people do not see what the hell is going on here. do you see why america is killing and being killed in the middle east. dont you see all the killing and seperation in the world is for a reason caused by certain people. They want the world to kill each other. They want you to think you are different from your brother. They want you to die. We are one people, one human, one life, one world. For us to overcome all obstacles and unite as humans we must understand the truth. My name is Frankie Ramsook. You and the World shall hear my name soonnnnn

Posted: Aug 02 2010, 00:56Report AbuseSo-called "holocaust survivors" settled there, but 10 million Jew colons from 1950 to 2010 destroying houses with bulldozers, killing people stealing lands, because God wills it ? Because you're the "master race" ?
Israel is gonna disappear like it was created. Jews are the cancer of this planet.
And they want us to feel guilty ? They call us conspiracist/antisemitic ?
Peace, Sallam and Shalom to each of you.
Posted: Aug 04 2010, 17:28Report AbuseJust minutes ago i have seen the docomentary about gaza. I was shocked to see how people getting murdered slaugterd. Last year t i was in palestine, and i never felt hostile or danger when i got out on the streets. But when you speak to people and they tell about their lives, then you get shocked. You all must see the documantary that called The iron wall. You wil see more images and get good informed about wats really happening their. It is just steeling and murdering of people. I have nothing against Jews, Christians or Muslims but we must keep realistic. If there is someone with comments please say it so we can argue
I like to discuss some subjects.
viva israel !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! ! !!! !!!!!! !! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! ! !! !!!!!! !!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
