would that make the discrepancy more clear for you? but of course it won't... isreal is just a victim... an eternal victim... oy veh...

Israel also lost less soldiers during the wars in 1947, 67, 73, and 82. Does that mean that they are not a victim of an enemy state? Oh Israel deserved it, right.

Your welcome to and all the people who have seen the little kids artwork. We will not let them be silenced.

Well besides the censorship stuff. I am curious, before i go into analysing the situation logically, i'd like to see where you are coming from.

You can see here thru the eyes of the children how it is they come to draw pictures like these. These are not drawings.

Warning, Graphic Content!

the art is neither cencored or banned - the museum simply chose not to host the exibition

Which is censoring, it was not put up on display with the other artwork from CHILDREN. It was a childrens art exhibit. They did not want to host it = censoring. You are just playing with semantics.

whole life.

This is the crap their parents are brainwashing
them with!!!

I just realized, I really don't like you.. You are a very cold hearted, egotistical person. No humility, or feelings toward other human beings. You belong in Washington DC.

Israel deserves all the destruction to it equal to the amount of destruction it has caused...

Plain and simple.

Exactly, Israel needs to be surrounded by barbed wire and have their food blockaded too. Really I wouldn't wish that upon the citizens. But Israel should understand eye for an eye. That # is gonna keep coming back around. When Israel and their pawns (US and UK) attack Iran, I'm sure Iran will hit twice as hard on behalf of Palestine.

Where's OldCorp to come to the defense of Israel?

I'm sure he'll pop in soon defending Israel.

Now, my opinion, this is terrible. That is beautiful ART. ART is a form of expression. These are from innocent children who view the world through innocent eyes AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SEE.

Wake up Pro-Israeli's, the World needs to change and it needs to start by bringing down the Israeli Government and instilling young liberal Israelis who want the same thing as young liberal Palestinians.

Peace.

This children's art is a warranty that this war will be continued by next generations. Children in Israel probably have similar artwork.

Adults in both sides brainwashing children. Both sides are wrong and I am sick of them.

no - its not semantics , its logic - no one has the inalienable right to have thier art displayed in a 3rd parties museum or gallery , so the refusal of such third parties to display art is not cencorship

simples

censorship is banning / preventing the artist or his agents displaying / publishing the art in venues they have authority over

having had the " pallywood " video shenanagins - i can only wonder who actually painted these pics - and how much assistance / direction they received

I knew it looked awfully familiar

I noticed that in the third picture, all the soldiers on the right hand side have huge smiles on their faces.

Checking your post history, I can see that you have a lot of free time to post. Virtually all of your posts heckle and spout offensive totalitarian propaganda and outright baseless lies. Either you must be a wealthy sociopath with plenty of time and no job or this IS your job. Time to switch personas, you've been found out plenty of times.

I seriously doubt that the drawings are the work of children.
They are all in the same style and with well depicted human forms.
Even the tanks and other machines are showing a lot of detail.
It looks more like the work of an experienced cartoonist.

And would they be writing the word "Gaza" in English?

please tell me this is just an attempt to be a bigger troll than popsmayhem

unless it was delibereatly created propoganda for western consumption - why would an alledged" palastinian " child caption thier drawing in english ?

further -its already been shown that one picture is a plaigerisation .

oh yes, i saw that link.
if by "plaigerisation" you mean there are certain shared elements of the two
in the manner you would expect if a child decided to draw a picture
and based it on one he or she had seen previously perhaps
then sure, that isn't exactly out of the question
and is the sort of thing that children do.
it doesn't mean that the whole thing is some cynical propaganda.

and you know what, even if it WAS
i don't know, etched painstakingly by soulless machines
you need to remember that the situation described there is actually happening.
women and children, innocents
are being brutally murdered every day
in a war that is tearing their world [and yours] apart.
please, try for some empathy?

EDIT: oh yeah, that "gaza" thing.
well for a start, if as you allege, it was copied, your answer is right there.
also you may notice that english isn't exactly constrained to certain continents. it's pretty pervasive. i'm sure there are enough english language signage around for kids to at least know bits and pieces.

What a steaming pile of crap.
The Palestinians have been sending rockets across the border for years and years. No country on Earth should have to put up with the aggression shown to Israel.
Stop the rocket attacks and you will see Israel slow down the retribution.
What a pathetic one sided story those images show

Tell the FREAKIN truth from both sides. Muslims are firing rockets at kids.
Sharia law and the murderers who are hamas
