How about rearrange the stripes into a cross and make the Star of David to a Crown of Thorns like this:

(no disrespect intended)

"Palistinian extremists" --my butt

Palestine is controlled by these people because the majority of the population just voted them in, thereby making the majority of palis extremists. IMHO, that paints ALL of the palis with a big red target.

It's their own propaganda.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Israel

Claims of "Nile to Euphrates" territorial ambitions
It has been alleged by some groups that the blue stripes actually represent the rivers Nile and Euphrates, which some Zionist thinkers (such as Avraham Stern and Israel Eldad) have claimed as the boundaries of Eretz Yisrael, the land promised to the Jews by God. They claim that this flag thus "secretly" represents the desire of Jews to conquer all of the land between the Nile and Euphrates rivers, which would involve conquering and ruling over much of Egypt, all of Jordan, and some of Syria and Iraq.

This allegation that Jewish territorial ambitions include all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates has been popular in Arab literature since the 1940s. Amin al-Husayni, former Mufti of Jerusalem stated:

The Palestine tragedy is unequaled in history. The Zionist imperialistic plot against Palestine was most inhumane and base. World Judaism plans to take over most of the Arab countries to fulfill its so-called historical dream of a homeland between the Nile and Euphrates. The Imperialist Jewish plot is not aimed at Palestine only...
Yasser Arafat in a September, 1988 interview with Playboy Magazine also made the allegation and in 1997, the Iranian parliamentary speaker Ali Akbar Nateq Nuri accused the Jews of attempting to live out a "Nile-to-Euphrates dream."

Both Zionist and anti-Zionist authors have debunked the claim that the stripes on the flag represent territorial ambitions. In his article "Imperial Israel: The Nile-to-Euphrates Calumny" in the March, 1994 Middle East Quarterly Daniel Pipes notes "In fact, the blue lines derive from the design on the traditional Jewish prayer shawl."[3]. Persistent critic of Israel and Zionism Israel Shahak is more explicit. In his The Zionist Plan for the Middle East he states

A good example is the very persistent belief in the non-existent writing on the wall of the Knesset of the Biblical verse about the Nile and the Euphrates. Another example is the persistent, and completely false declarations, which were made by some of the most important Arab leaders, that the two blue stripes of the Israeli flag symbolize the Nile and the Euphrates, while in fact they are taken from the stripes of the Jewish praying shawl (Talit).
Saqr Abu Fakhr, an Arab writer, has also spoken out against this idea. In his article "Seven Prejudices about the Jews" (published in the London-based pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat, November 12,13,14) he demonstrates that the "Nile to Euphrates" claim is one of seven popular misconceptions and/or myths about Jews which, despite being unfounded and having abundant evidence refuting them, continue to circulate in the Arab world.

That's bogus. They don't represent that at all. The blue stripes on the Israeli flag were inspired by the stripes on the tallit (prayer shawl).

You're right. The Palestinians are so out there they sound almost as nuts a member on DU. This sounds like a conspiracy theory they would believe whole heartedly.

The sacred land of Christianity and Judaism does not belong to the latecomer death cult.

Eeeeewwwwww! Now that is a gaggle of some major butt-ugly folks! The cat we had when I was a kid used to kill better looking thing and leave them on the front stoop. Maybe this pic is an example of the 72 virgins the terrorists receive from Satan as they cross Hell's threshold!

"This whole situation would be hilarious if people weren't getting and going to be killed. "

The only saving grace is that now everyone will be able to see the boil that needs to be lanced. Hamas will run Palestinians into the Neolithic. They wanted to have their own way, well, here ya go. So, actually, democracy has worked and the Palestinians get what they want, self destruction.

Absolutely, and it was G-d who designed the prayer shaw...I shudder to think what will happen to those who try to remove it...

For this is what the Lord Almighty says: "After He has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you - for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye - I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me. Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion...

Oh, good. Hamas is going to act like a good neighbor with Israel, just like the Left told us they would.

I was watching the history channel about prophets of the old testaments and it was very interesting how the Jews have always been exiled at one time or another. There is always a group of people always trying to kill the Jews I don't get it what are they afraid of? Or is it just plain hatred? I have to admit this thing with Iran and now that Hamas is the government for the pals. things are about to get very nasty. And we have our beloved troops over there and I worry about them.

Look I totally agree and am laughing my head off and I really really needed a good laugh. And I am a woman who hates the idea that these women go along with using these CHILDREN in the manner they are.

Memo to Hamas Leadership Council: Please be advised that Israel will be removing the two blue stripes from its' flag as soon as it has removed you and your followers from the face of the Earth. May Allah be pleased to greet all of you soon. We hope you have a good and quick trip. With warm and personal regards, The Israeli Government

I read his comment to mean the state of PALESTINE shouldn't exist, personally.

Hmmm... a white flag with yellow stripes. No no it must remain white for surrender purposes.

Our troops in Iraq should be okay. It is interesting and comforting to note that our real total troop strength hasn't been widely published for some time (last I heard about 15 years ago). What we see from the media is not always truth (sometimes understated for the purpose of cooperation). By the way, I wonder how the following program (the last to mount) is getting along.

Seems what they really demand is submission, and recognition of islams superiority to make up whatever trumped up charges the feel like.

Perhaps the only real lasting solution here is for them to rewrite their koran and discard all their hadeeths first.
