The news source where Undertoad got his example from makes the point that fighter isn't representative of the majority. Do you honestly think that the majority of Gazans are happy they are being killed?

I forget the name of the term, but don't fall into the trap thinking that everyone in a different culture thinks the same. Their views are just as diverse as us, also leaving room for complete psychos like the one that Undertoad posted.

Then why the fuck is Undertoad posting articles how Arab culture is fundamentally different than ours. Then also, why didn't Undertoad point that out for himself. Keep in mind, Hamas makes up less than 1% of the Gazan population.

Edit- My fault, the guy wasn't Hamas.
