The children don't seem to be too upset... In fact it is mostly them who call themselves "soldiers" and demand retribution. It's just amazing what religion can do to humanity. It is times like this when I agree that religion is truly "the root of all evil".

50% of Israeli high school kids think that "Death to the Arabs" is a fair statement to make, Arabs should not have equal rights to Jews, and Arabs should not be able to run for the Knesset.

Well, 50% of high school students who identified as religious and apparently from a sample which heavily represented Israelis in settlements as noted by a single poll, but please continue.

its not such a good thing, when 50% of high school kids, raised in a supposedly western-style democracy, think 25% of their nation should not have the right to run for Parliament and should not have equal rights.

Pokemon was all about trapping animals in confined spaces and making them fight each other. I found that far worse.

Worse than trapping children in religious dogma and making humans fight each other?

Are you sure it heavily represented students in settlements? I don't remember anything like that from the article, but I would like to see more information on the poll.

Awful show obviously, but you seem to be exaggerating quite a bit unless you're speaking beyond just that episode.

It's the Palestinians and the Israelis. Kindest thing to do is leave them to sort the mess out themselves. If at some point in the future, one side or the other (assuming either survives) starts acting up against countries that matter, then they can be carpet-bombed back to... well, I was going to say "back to the stone age," but those cretins are already there.

There was debate about it in one of the other Israel threads, but there's so many I've lost track of exactly which one.

Considering the OP, parky's hyperbole fits right in.

News flash: the continued fighting between Israel and Palestine has resulted in propaganda and significant samples of populations on both sides to hold unreasonable opinions.

Well, that settles it. Let's arm the Palestinians so they can wipe out the "infidels."

Why stop there? Let's just nuke the Levant and be done with it. That would solve the issue pretty thoroughly, wouldn't it?

That would be "the planet" if you remove selection bias.
