Any wonder?

Every new Arab princeling starts from bargaining something by denying the agreements with Israel, signed by his predecessors.

The girls are wearing hejabs, not burkas. Burkas cover the entire face.
And it’s true. As a Muslim, I have to say that this was incredibly lame. If a group of young players wish to pursue any type of peace effort, it should be allowed. There is no reason why there can’t be peace, but the authorities aren’t going to allow it apparently.

No great surprise. They didn’t like their kids being used as a Left wing gimmick. They don’t want peace. All the peace-talk is just the Israeli and foreign Looney Left dreamers. If the Arabs really wanted peace there would be peace.

The Left should clean the chometz from their minds and see the facts.

The answer is obvious, and this was bound to happen.

It was “against the cultural and national identity of the Palestinians” because they were being nice to Jews.

The “Palestinian” identity must, by definition, be the negation of Jewish and Israeli identity. This identity (one wag called them the “Pseudostinians”, quite accurately, I think) must have as it’s raison d’etre the negation of anything Jewish. For the Pseudostinian identity to be real, the Jewish identity must be shown to be false. This is imperative, since recognizing in even the smallest way the legitimacy of Jewish identity might lead to recognizing Jewish claims to Eretz Israel. Once this happens, the war against israel will be seen to be unjust. And chas v’shalom that the Arabs should recognize Jewish suffering. The Holocaust was a Zionazi lie. I thought everyone knew that.

Matter and anti-matter cannot co-exist. Didn’t you guys ever watch Star Trek?

Sad but true. What exactly was done “against the cultural and national identity” of the Palestinians? The girls were dressed in their burkas, and they performed an Arabic song, and used Arabic drums. Who’s identity and culture were ignored; that of the Palestinians or perhaps that of the elderly Holocaust survivors?

Leave it to the so called “adults”-with their never ending hatred and distrust-to trash the good hearted peaceful efforts of well meaning young people.

Let’s suggest Wafa Younis for the Nobel Peace Prize. Philosophy professors are entitled to suggesting nominees to the Nobel Prize committee.
