View on the recent Gaza/Israel stikes

You serious?

First, the New York Times is a newspaper whose trying to make money over forcing a political point. They may have a slant, which ironically isn't convincing Americans that Arab culture is different than ours, but they mainly post articles that will get readers attention. That is an article that will get peoples attention.

You are trying to make a point. You are trying to convince people on this forum that Arab culture is fundamentally different than Western culture. The New York Times isn't.

Second, it was you who posted the article on this forum, not the New York Times.


So no, I still agree that the two cultures are fundamentally different but I think you are taking it to the extreme. Have you never heard of 21 year old American soldiers who say the want to die fighting for their country? Do you realize that the militant's view is not the majority? Even the New York Times names the title of the article "Fighter Sees His Paradise in Gaza’s Pain", which first names the fighter as singular and then Gaza, the majority, as in pain, not happy.
