#2 Shows that the generation which grew with Oslo War, is more refractory to brainwashing than their parents.

#3 CALL 911!! My panties are in a twist!

Well, yeah, it's the beeb reporting about what haaretz (IIUC, the israeli answer to french libération or the UK al gaurdian) said, so, their panties ARE in a twist, no doubt. I think the jooooos should try doing kiddies shows about martyrdom and killing ennemies and conquering the world, arabs seem to get away from that with no one being bothered. Obviously, jock humor tee-shirts are worse than suicide bombers.

Imagine that. Use civilians as weapons, all the sudden they aren't respecing civilians.

#6 Well if they're armed and fighting they're combatants, not civilians. And if they're posing as civilians they're illegal combatants committing a war crime.

The Geneva Conventions are supposed to protect real civilians, persons who are not participating in combat (not even as human shields.)

#7 Ah... the old sick and deeply-black dark military humor rides again.

Yeah, it does tend to freak out innocent and unworldly civilians, when the encounter it at full strength. Kinda fun to watch them squawk and flap around, actually.

My personal fave, is the tee that I spotted during Desert Storm, with a silhouette of a camel in the circles of a gunsite, and the motto,
"I'd Fly 10,000 Miles to Smoke a Camel"

#8 I still have a T-shirt tucked away somewhere from my days in the the Philippines: Bert with a rifle, with Ernie as a spotter.

"There's another one, Bert!"

"Consider him dead, Ernie."

Sick and deeply-black dark military humor, indeed
