#2 HT french blog Mr. Sheikh, as the Editor in Chief of Al-Jazeera, you are one of the most important opinion-makers in the Arab world. What do you call suicide bombers?

For what is happening in Palestine, we never use the expression “suicide bombing.”

What do you call it then?

In English, I would describe it as “bombings.”

And in Arabic?

Literally translated, we would speak of “commando attacks.” In our culture, it is precisely not suicide.

But instead a praiseworthy act?

When the country is occupied and the people are being killed by the enemy, everyone must take action, even if he sacrifices himself in so doing.

Even if in so doing he kills innocent civilians?

That is not a Palestinian problem, but a problem of the Israelis.

(he adds)

In many Arab states, the middle class is disappearing. The rich get richer and the poor get still poorer. Look at the schools in Jordan, Egypt or Morocco: You have up to 70 youngsters crammed together in a single classroom. How can a teacher do his job in such circumstances? The public hospitals are also in a hopeless condition. These are just examples. They show how hopeless the situation is for us in the Middle East.

Who is responsible for the situation?

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most important reasons why these crises and problems continue to simmer. The day when Israel was founded created the basis for our problems. The West should finally come to understand this. Everything would be much calmer if the Palestinians were given their rights.

Do you mean to say that if Israel did not exist, there would suddenly be democracy in Egypt, that the schools in Morocco would be better, that the public clinics in Jordan would function better?

I think so.

Can you please explain to me what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has to do with these problems?

The Palestinian cause is central for Arab thinking.

In the end, is it a matter of feelings of self-esteem?

Exactly. It’s because we always lose to Israel. It gnaws at the people in the Middle East that such a small country as Israel, with only about 7 million inhabitants, can defeat the Arab nation with its 350 million. That hurts our collective ego. The Palestinian problem is in the genes of every Arab. The West’s problem is that it does not understand this.

#4 Defence for Children International eh? Concerned about "detained" kids, eh? Where's there outrage over kids blown up in Israeli pizza shops?

The only reason that kid pissed his pants is because of what his elders told him about jooooos. Yet, they're the ones who incited him to do whatever he did in the first place. The irony is that he's safer with Israel than he is with his arab "brothers."

#5 During the first intifada I once had a (approx) five year old Paleo girl send her toddler brother to throw stones at me. That was my 9/11.

#6 Poor kid probably think the Jooos are going to butcher him out, harvest his blood and fry up his liver. Isn't that what his loving parents and family have been telling him since birth?

Your right Dan - he is probably better off in a Israeli prison then with his brainwashing family.

#8 The number of Palestinian children detained in the occupied West Bank has noticeably surged since the start of the second Palestinian Intifada or Uprising which broke out six years ago

Then stop sending children to do a man’s work, or squalling when your killer-kiddies get whacked.

Contrary to the constant denial by Israeli officials, there are probably hundreds of Palestinian children in the Israeli dungeons.

Which, even if true, is far less egregious than the Israeli cemeteries filled with young victims of Palestinian terrorists.

"Five thousand children have been either imprisoned or arrested in Israeli investigation centres for different periods of time since the start of the Intifada,"

You don’t differentiate in the age of your fighters, so why should Israel?

"A specialized interrogator for children should interrogate them. The interrogation should be filmed and the parents should attend to be sure that the child was not subject to psychological pressure or abuse," Misk said, adding that children should appear before a special tribunal for children and kept in jails dedicated exclusively for them-

How about just NOT TRAINING YOUR CHILDREN TO HATE AND FIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE?

An immediate action is needed to stop Israel’s policy of brutal, illegal and inhumane detention of Palestinian children.

Then stop indoctrinating your kindergarteners to be bomb vest killers.

Exactly. It’s because we always lose to Israel. It gnaws at the people in the Middle East that such a small country as Israel, with only about 7 million inhabitants, can defeat the Arab nation with its 350 million. That hurts our collective ego. The Palestinian problem is in the genes of every Arab. The West’s problem is that it does not understand this.

Oh, we understand, all right. It's just that we’re too busy laughing and pointing.
