Prince stirrs controversy in Israel

The two largest news portals in israel have picked up the cinnamon girl clip story, and the articles have caused much controversy amongst surfers, many of whom take the suicide bomber angle personally as israelis.

That would be an interesting article to read, if it was in English. Can anybody translate it?
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

i don't see what is so hard for people to understand about this video. since september 11th, i can't count the number of times that i've seen innocent people of arabic descent, or of muslim faith being met with animosity. hate breeds hate. who knows what the consequences could be. if anything can be taken from that message in the video, is that we all need to be careful not to lump everyone of a particular background or faith into the same categories. i can't recall the last time that "terrorist" wasn't used with "muslim" when reading some newspaper article or watching the news.

i do believe that people living in israel are going through experiences with terror that many americans can not imagine, but i don't think the israeli government is entirely innocent in all of this either. most people aren't going to care who started the conflict if people are dying all around them.

basically both articles follow the associated press data, focusing around an amercian guy called david shchwarz from some ant-defamation league condemning the video. What's interesting is both articles headline state more or less "A SUICIDE BOMBER IN NEW PRINCE CLIP" and many flames follow with both articles get a relatively high number of views and replies.
