Laila Hermann is a friend of mine, a sweet woman who is learning arabic since almost 3 years now. We lived together once in a flat during my study time, and I realised how good friends we can be. Laila is Jew.
During the last Gaza War, many demonstrations invaded Germany, against Israel of course. Laila called me and asked me to join her there, she wanted to attend and shout against Israel, she went there even though I adviced her not to.
In the middle of the demonstration, Laila called me and asked me to hear what is being said....خيبر خيبر يا يهود ... and we know the rest. She was disappointed.
I think that anyone who will repeat such sentence in a demonstration is a person who is not old enough to go out in demonstrations, or a person who is just full of hatred, and doesnt know where to pour this hatred.
Its not only that, I know some facebook contacts who wrote such comments during the war. and other things about Hitler and crap. Is this the right way to fight? are we that ignorant? or stupid? or just full of hatred? Thank you Mom, thank you Dad, thank you religion teacher.

Actually, people around the Arab world need to learn few things about the conflict purely basic facts actually!
Do not hate those who have no fault but being stereotyped!
Peace!
95% of Israelis supported the slaughter of non-jewish women and children in Gaza and in Lebanon. The figures in the US and France were not far behind. I don't see anyone stereotyping. A 95% support for Jewish massacres of Arab women and children is a watertight indictment of Jewish values. Spare us your infantile liberalism. This is a religious war on Arabs and Muslims and Jews are leading the charge and the US too.
I... I totally agree.
Anonymous, Oh this was a religious war? really? and I thought Egypt was muslim (Wiki says egypt is 90% muslim)... Sorry but I think the direct effect Egyptian government had on the Gazans was much worse than that of the US. but No, we have to keep our silly way of defending Islam instead of searching for our real enemy, which is our ignorance, our stupid feelings, and sometimes our "brothers".
If we keep thinking the way you do, then God himself will not be standing on our side (and I doubt he did after Mohammad died). why should he, when we mistake the enemy? and when we say in our protests such racist sentences. So I would take this silly idea about "religious war" out of my head.
