7th graders, by nature, are becoming more aware of themselves and the world. They have a lot of begninning of “teen angst” but little to direct it towards.

The Middle East is “safe” enemy (vs. parents, teachers. etc.) and they are too young to understand the ramifications of their hatred or too uneducated to understand the complexity of the middle East situation.

Well, to begin with this is a professionally made propaganda piece not a home grown You Tube video. I tend to doubt any 7th grade teacher is that skilled at mixing and editing.

Something like this takes several months of full time work to produce.

So with that being said this is definately fringe, ultra left made propaganda designed to fight the ultra right.

As to your question we hear comments made by Imams about Australian girls being pieces of meat. And that one even left a bad flavor with Imams in Australia.

We see Middle Eastern kids dancing in the streets with AK47s

We saw that Palestinina Mickey Mouse show, the original one before the Palestinian government made them change it.

We see death warrants issued from the Middle East on that book author in England who was just Knighted and even hear musican Cat Stevens come out and say he should be killed for what he said.

We know for a fact there are terrorist training camps and they even trained IRA operatives. We know this for a fact, the IRA members can verify it.

We see Middle Easterners involved in train bombings in Spain and England.

We see the kidnappings, beheadings.

There are still some Chinese being held hostage in Afghanistan to this day.

The Middle East is not doing very good in the PR department.

yes, it is the Americans that hate the middle easterners so much. That is why the Americans were the ones that hijacked your airliners and flew them into…oh wait, that was you guys. Ok, then it was the americans who attacked one of your warships and…oh, yeah, that was you guys too. And then it was the americans who have continued to conduct suicide bombings and killed a whole bunch of middle eastern…oh, wait, that was ALSO you guys. And it was the Americans who indoctrinate our youth using cartoons and stuffed animal characters to instill hate…oops, you guys again.

Americans have said time and time again, we are not at war against Islam, nor against middle easterners, but it is SOOOO frustrating that you stand idly by while the “fundamentalists” give you guys a bad reputation. You want the Americans to treat you with friendship and love? Then give a little to get a little. Turn away from the radicals, round them up and dispose of them like the vermin they are (heck, they kill more of you than they kill of us). Or, better yet, turn them over to us, or just point them out to us, we’ll take care of the rest.

Get rid of the people trying to do us harm, and you’d be surprised at how easy we are to get along with, letting you alone to live your lives, letting you charge way high prices for your oil, leaving each other alone. But it is like a playground. If you hit us or push us off the swing, don’t be upset when you get hit back, or pushed back.

Most likely its because we teens have seen all the problems in our country and think all the middle-eastern people are to blame,and probably the 7th graders are expressing them selves like to that to cope with the current situation.
