Comparing the great Battle Hymn of the Republic to teaching Jihad, martyrdom, 
and glory of death as an end to itself to young children is a true sign of a 
broken moral compass.

I can't make this up

  Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:

  He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
  His truth is marching on.
  (Chorus)
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  His truth is marching on.
  I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
  They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
  I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
  His day is marching on.
  (Chorus)
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  His day is marching on.
  I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
  As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
  Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
  Since God is marching on.
  (Chorus)
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Since God is marching on.
  He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
  He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
  Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
  Our God is marching on.
  (Chorus)
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Our God is marching on.
  In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
  With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
  As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
  While God is marching on.
  (Chorus)
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!
  Glory, glory, hallelujah!

  He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
  He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
  So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,

  You think this is typical propaganda? This is systematic brainwashing of 
  the most hideous/evil kind. To children! Feeling sorry will not cut it. It 
  needs to be stopped, otherwise, feel sorry for the ones who will be torn to 
  bits and murdered by these same children who grow up to be suicide bombers. 
  
  Otherwise the world will continue to feel sorry and nothing happens and 
  Israel continues to be condemmed by world opinion. Life goes on, and we 
  feel good feeling sorry as if this is enough.

Let us die to make men free is nothing other than a

OK I will give it try.

When we learned the Hymn in elementary school ( I did anyway) it was part of 
music class, one of 5 or 6 classes during the day. Math, english,P.E.,science, 
etc. We went in, learned the song, sang it and moved on to the next class, with 
barely a thought to the hymn or music.

Now these kids who were on the video, they are immersed in this 24 hours a day, 
non-stop indoctrination from the time they were born until the end of their 
lives.

You can find comparisons between songs, but the context and outcomes are 
completely different.

Who can blame them for brainwashing their kids?  We do the same thing via 
BigMedia.  I never met a parent who didn't brainwash their own child.  And 
during WWI and WWII BigMedia portrayed the other side as japs, krauts and wops 
etc. and framed them as evil murderous dogs.

I say unto you:  if your exact DNA clone was inserted into that culture you'd 
be a good Muslim too and vice versa.  It's not enough to underlined their flaws 
-- we must look to the forces that brought all this hatred into being:  in a 
word: greed.

Follow the money, not the mantras of others.

   You think this is typical propaganda? This is systematic brainwashing of 
   the most hideous/evil kind. To children! Feeling sorry will not cut it. 
   It needs to be stopped, otherwise, feel sorry for the ones who will be 
   torn to bits and murdered by these same children who grow up to be

 When we learned the Hymn in elementary school ( I did anyway)
 it was part of music class, one of 5 or 6 classes during the

 You can find comparisons between songs, but the context and
 outcomes are completely different.

Couple of points:

The context is very different indeed. How do you imagine
the Battle Hymn would be used with children if this
country were in a situation similar to that of the
Palestinians? Do you think it's possible American kids
would also be immersed in nonstop indoctrination about
the glory of dying for freedom?

We don't *need* the Battle Hymn to inspire children to
take arms against their oppressors when they grow up.
(Bag the quibbles, Bhairitu and Edg; you know what I
mean.) But we continue to teach it to them anyway. We
want to preserve that ethos in case we ever do need it.

For that matter, I couldn't say for sure, but I 
strongly suspect there are fringe religious groups who
teach it to their kids as a way of preparing them to
resist the purported persecution of Christians. See in
particular the last video I linked to. Why on *earth*
would anybody teach the Battle Hymn to a 3-year-old if
they weren't aiming at indoctrination?

And then, of course, many of the kids who have been
singing the hymn since childhood grow up and enlist
in the armed forces to go fight the infidel and die for
freedom in far-off lands. They hate us for our freedoms,
after all.

On the other hand, it isn't clear to me from the video
of the Palestinian kids that they're taking what they're
singing and acting out any more seriously than the kids
in your elementary school.

And what's the evidence that they endure indoctrination
24 hours a day from birth? Are you sure that isn't
propaganda with which *you* have been indoctrinated?

In any case, as ditzyklanmail says, peace is much better
to deal with.

On the other hand, it isn't clear to me from the video

- Take a closer look you will see kids with white skull caps(Yarmulkes) they 
are being shot at and the kids fall down dead. These represent Jews in case 
it's not clear to you.


In any case, as ditzyklanmail says, peace is much better

-That's obvious, no one is willing the face this evil. Apparently no one here 
is that concerned about a childish video. Btw, how many Palestinian Christians 
have strapped on explosives and blew themselves in the marketplace? None.

So go ahead and think Game, but the battle continues.

 The idea of martyrdom is incompatible with the idea of
 death as an end in itself, so you need to take that part
 out. The definition of martyrdom is dying for a cause.
 Let us die to make men free is nothing other than a
 call to martyrdom.
 
 As for a martyr's death being glorious:
 
 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
 With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
 As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
 
 And this is a call to Jihad, holy war:
 
 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
 He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
 Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
 
 And bearing in mind that the Battle Hymn is taught to
 children, you aren't left with a whole lot of difference
 with which to guide your moral compass:

I've seen both sides up front.

I feel sorry for Israel too.  Let's make it up to them by expelling all
Israeli spies from the US, taking back the weapons we sold them with our
foreign aid and stop their foreign aid payments.  They are, after all, the
largest welfare bum the US has.  Egypt is second, but they need and deserve
every penny.

Perhaps we should also speak up in the UN about bulldozers where they don't
belong, tearing up their neighbors' yards and more.

Oh don't worry, while the Congo lives with daily genocide, Hamas shoots it's 
5,000 rockets to Israel, Iran build it's shiny new nukes, Chavez blusters and 
sings,China craps on Tibet, North Korea grows it's gulag of a country,Castro 
sings his swan song of despotism, Saudis export is Relgion of Peace all and the 
Taliban bans women to visit zoos with blissful neglect, It's tiny Israel that 
you punish with relish.

So either Israel is wrong and the world is right or Isarel is right and the 
world is wrong. Both can't be right. Think I'm wrong, well let's hear what the 
former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar has to say:


If Israel goes down, we all go down
Anger over Gaza is a distraction. We cannot forget that Israel is the West's 
best ally in a turbulent region

The following article by the former Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznarwas 
published in the British newspaper `The Times' on 17 June 2010:

For far too long now it has been unfashionable in Europe to speak up for 
Israel. In the wake of the recent incident on board a ship full of anti-Israeli 
activists in the Mediterranean, it is hard to think of a more unpopular cause 
to champion. In an ideal world, the assault by Israeli commandos on the Mavi 
Marmara would not have ended up with nine dead and a score wounded. In an ideal 
world, the soldiers would have been peacefully welcomed on to the ship. In an 
ideal world, no state, let alone a recent ally of Israel such as Turkey, would 
have sponsored and organized a flotilla whose sole purpose was to create an 
impossible situation for Israel: making it choose between giving up its 
security policy and the naval blockade, or risking the wrath of the world.

In our dealings with Israel, we must blow away the red mists of anger that too 
often cloud our judgment. A reasonable and balanced approach should encapsulate 
the following realities: first, the state of Israel was created by a decision 
of the UN. Its legitimacy, therefore, should not be in question. Israel is a 
nation with deeply rooted democratic institutions. It is a dynamic and open 
society that has repeatedly excelled in culture, science and technology.

Second, owing to its roots, history, and values, Israel is a fully fledged 
Western nation. Indeed, it is a normal Western nation, but one confronted by 
abnormal circumstances.

Uniquely in the West, it is the only democracy whose very existence has been 
questioned since its inception. In the first instance, it was attacked by its 
neighbours using the conventional weapons of war. Then it faced terrorism 
culminating in wave after wave of suicide attacks. Now, at the behest of 
radical Islamists and their sympathisers, it faces a campaign of 
delegitimisation through international law and diplomacy.

Sixty-two years after its creation, Israel is still fighting for its very 
survival. Punished with missiles raining from north and south, threatened with 
destruction by an Iran aiming to acquire nuclear weapons and pressed upon by 
friend and foe, Israel, it seems, is never to have a moment's peace.

For years, the focus of Western attention has understandably been on the peace 
process between Israelis and Palestinians. But if Israel is in danger today and 
the whole region is slipping towards a worryingly problematic future, it is not 
due to the lack of understanding between the parties on how to solve this 
conflict. The parameters of any prospective peace agreement are clear, however 
difficult it may seem for the two sides to make the final push for a settlement.

The real threats to regional stability, however, are to be found in the rise of 
a radical Islamism which sees Israel's destruction as the fulfilment of its 
religious destiny and, simultaneously in the case of Iran, as an expression of 
its ambitions for regional hegemony. Both phenomena are threats that affect not 
only Israel, but also the wider West and the world at large.

The core of the problem lies in the ambiguous and often erroneous manner in 
which too many Western countries are now reacting to this situation. It is easy 
to blame Israel for all the evils in the Middle East. Some even act and talk as 
if a new understanding with the Muslim world could be achieved if only we were 
prepared to sacrifice the Jewish state on the altar. This would be folly.

Israel is our first line of defence in a turbulent region that is constantly at 
risk of descending into chaos; a region vital to our energy security owing to 
our overdependence on Middle Eastern oil; a region that forms the front line in 
the fight against extremism. If Israel goes down, we all go down. To defend 
Israel's right to exist in peace, within secure borders, requires a degree of 
moral and strategic clarity that too often seems to have disappeared in Europe. 
The United States shows worrying signs of heading in the same direction.

The West is going through a period of confusion over the shape of the world's 
future. To a great

Yes. It is typical propaganda being waved at me to attempt to put me into fear 
as my wallet goes empty as I try to fend off my hungry neighbors in America who 
lost their jobs to a housing bubble and all the good things that have brought 
the economy to a standstill.  The police, if they catch thieves breaking into 
cars, even they understand the plight of  the owners, and attempt to return the 
stolen items in the same evening or early mornings as to not have their items 
get caught up in the courts for months as evidence. 
  Middle America is hurting right now and which hat would you like for us to 
pull a rabbit out of?
  Having to be concerned about returning military personal, who have been 
desensitized from wars overseas and having no psychological help for bringing 
back what they learned to dokill people or attempt to kill people.. 
http://www.mysuncoast.com/Global/story.asp?s=12691319  Would you think this 
story as typical propaganda?  I don't see the Veterans getting more medical 
care as they are to protect and serve the people of the US.   

Feeling sorry will have to cut it.  Unless you would like to see someone who 
can only feel sorry put into an internment camp to help pay for what you feel 
we must stop? I think Hitler did that. I think it happened in Russia 
toolabor camps, they were called.   
I am not getting any handouts or support at this time.  I become a bit selfish 
when my fingers bleed of the blood that makes them work just to buy food and 
live with a roof over my head, you are crazy or at leastbrainwashed.

Peace is much better to deal with.  

Children were being taught this song and spread word of mouth in the 1800's.  I 
remember singing this song in school, taught by the public school system of 
America.  : )  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_Hymn_of_the_Republic

Lyrics
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
Our God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
