Children Against Annapolis

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Monday, November 26. 2007 10:16
It would seem that even the ever-peaceful youths of the Palestinian terror-tories are lining up against Annapolis. Who would've expected such a position, from such a peaceful specimen as this:

A young Palestinian Hamas supporter holds a toy gun as he and others gather during a protest against the upcoming United States sponsored Annapolis meeting, in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Friday, Nov. 23, 2007 Israeli, Palestinian, Arab and world leaders are set to meet in Annapolis, Maryland next week at a U.S. hosted peace conference. The arabic text reads 'The is no God but God, and Muhammed is his prophet. ' (AP Photo/Hatem Moussa)


Far be it from me to state the obvious, but there is absolutely zero chance of success at Annapolis, considering that one side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has been raised for generations with an irrational hatred that can never be negotiated away.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*A post at Augean Stables indicates that the AP photo caption is more than likely wrong and that the kid is holding a real gun...

*Thank you very much for pointing that out, HR! I've replied over here: In a nutshell, I think it's clearly enough a toy. I'm no expert though, so anyone who knows better is welcome to disprove my allegation.

Most Respectfully,
Brian

*Hey there. Yeah, I gathered as much. The post has been removed from AS so I guess that makes the experts' assertions true.

*Hmm, they deleted the post? That kinda stinks... Lord knows I've been wrong on tons of occasions, but I've always thought it's better to correct things in-place, rather than opening my self up to being outed by The Archive...

Oh well. I'm glad I took the time to look at that more closely. Thanks again for bringing it to my attention! :-)

Regards,
Brian
