  • Where was peta or the world,when Israel slaughtered thousands of Gazans last December?

  • PeTA is nothing but an extremely sensitive and over dramatic Organization…where hypocrisy lies at the centre of the org.

  • a worst example of killing animals in judaism:

    The “SACRIFICES”:

    Sacrifices made by a priest on an altar, were the “essence of Judaism worship”. They were so important, that only the 5 books of the Torah dedicate 27 full chapters to it: They offered, at the entrance of the Tent or the Temple.

    The daily “perpetual sacrifice”, and 4 kinds of sacrifices:
    1- The “perpetual sacrifice”:
    Two male lambs, one in the morning, and other at twilight (Num.28, Ex.29). If it is “perpetual”, “for all time”, “eternal”, it has to exist now, and it does!, in the daily Christian Holy Sacrifice of the Mass… and, if it is “eternal”, is got to be in Heaven, and it is!, in Rev.5:6, “a lamb standing like slaughtered”, just in the center of the Throne, and the reason for all the joy in Heaven, for eternity.
    2- The “4 kinds of sacrifices” are:
    1- “Holocaust”: All animal is burned (Lev.1).
    2- The “sin-offering”: The fat is burned, the rest of the animal is for the priest (Lev.4-5).
    3- The “Eucharistic” or “Thanks-giving”: The fat is burned; the rest of the animal, some for the priest, and some for the one who offered it (Lv.3).
    4- “Flour offering”: Like “sin offering” (Lev.2).

  • Diana,The only reason you could say that Israel “slaughtered Palestinians” is out of ignorance or hatred only.
    Israel fought the terrorist organization Hamas. Hamas is an extremist Islamic terrorist organization more than once indicated his desire to murder Jews at about the state of Israel to the area.
    The reason that Israel attacked the Hamas is that Hamas fired for eight whole years rockets at Sderot, causing an incredible amount of wounded and dead, completely breaking the daily routine in and delete the innocence of thousands of children, in addition to suicide bombings inside Israel.
    Hamas’s tactics are guerilla tactics involve the citizens of Gaza Arabs as human shields.
    They Hosts ammunition and weapons in hospitals, send children to collect their weapons and holde babies as human shields. All this is documented, photographed and proven.
    Hamas murderer and abuse more Palestinians in
    one month then israel or the IDF kills in a whole war.
    THIS is the hamas:

    This video was created entirely by an Arab,backs up his claims with videos and pictures.
    IDF is the only army in the world who spreads millions of warning leaflets to Warn the citizens in the area is going to attack.
    What army in the world warning his enemy?
    Or move hundreds of tons of medical aid to citizens of enemy in the middle of the war itself?
    So before you shout silly slogans, try to check the other side.

  • And jusuf
    What’s the point that you are showing us an ancient hebrew ceremony, more than two thousand years old?
    Are you trying to tell us that while Jews progressed and developed, the arabs remained savages as 2,000 years ago?

  • Gabriel,
    May peace and mercy be on you; that is our greeting.
    Islam is about peace and mercy, radicals have smeared this picture by killing the innocent, there is no excuse for that. I would like to point out that providing a fair peace treaty with palestinians, giving them a country of their own in Gaza and West bank, would make these radicals lose their cause and argument. Millions of palestinians live under very poor conditions, leading to subsequent hatred to the Jewish state and being ready to believe what radicals tell them. Regarding sacrificing animals, it is not for the love of blood, it is to co-memorate an incidence all Judaism , Islam and Christianity believe in. Meat is fed to the poor to give them joy if they can’t afford to buy it.
    Again, May Peace and mercy be on you, my brother in humanity.

  • So you are trying to say that Hamas is the only culprit, and israel is simply defending itself, Hmm. and those palestinians you see on TV whose families are killed are blaming israeli troops, you think they are acting right .
    Any terrorist group is not linked to islam for your kind information. Don’t say extremist islamic terrorits. Islam is a religion of peace, those who kill even a single human being are not muslims and have nothing to do with Islam.

  • dear Gabriel,
    You are forgetting that Hamas were elected democratically but were not allowed to practice their power in a peaceful way - by Israel itself and that sanctions were imposed on Gaza as a form of collective punishment and white phosphorus and radioactive agents were dropped on the Gaza citizens during Operation Cast Lead and even medical staff, Aid workers and UN buildings were deliberately targetted by the Israeli military.
    The war crimes of the Israeli army have been extensively listed in a very long report by someone who has direct experience of what A RACIST APARTHEID state actually is - and who has stated that Israel is therefore a criminal state.
    I think you also forget that the criminal state was founded on terrorism and by terrorist means which still continue to this day and that in international law, the Palestinian people are the ones who actually have the legal right to self defence against foreign Zionist occupiers who are originally from Russia, and who have zero right to be in the holy land and never did.

    Germany, Poland, and Russia are all safe places to go back to - the Bolshevics killed off the Czars and their families already in 1917. I think that the Russians from Southern Ossetia can go back to their homeland now - you are all 93 years too late in fact. International law states that it is safe for you to go back to your homeland in Russia and go and worship your ancient God ‘Tengri’ the Mongolian Sky God on top of your holy mountain Mount Elbrus, and you can use a conventional tourism company to get their called ‘Pilgrim Tours’ to get there, rather than having to kill innocent people and put them in concentration camps first.

  • Gabriel,
    The only reason Hamas exists is because in 1949 Jewish people moved in and stole almost all the Palestinian peoples’ land. The Palestinians are now forced to live in a ghetto (like the way Hitler made Jews live in a ghetto) where they are systematically starved and systematic attempts are made to destroy their spirit and their society. That is why Hamas exists. The Jews need to withdraw to the 1967 borders. Jerusalem must be shared. Make peace by doing these things with the moderate Palestinian Factions and the support for Hamas and Hezbollah will rapidly erode. At the end of the day though the Israelis keep voting for people like Netanyahu and killing people like Rabin so do they really want peace? Is it not the Israeli people who are destroying peace and causing war?

  • […] year Eid fell on 16 Nov. Again, PETA had nothing to say. Not in 2010, not in 2009, not in 2008, not ever. Of course, they always have something to say about, for example, Thanksgiving. More […]
