adam sandlerAdam Sandler, star of various movies such as "The Longest Yard" and "Click" announced that he will donate 400 PlayStation consoles to Israel. Whether those would be PSOnes, PS2s or pre-ordered PS3s, we haven't got a clue.

However, we're quite sure that Ehud Danoch, consul general of Israel in LA, met with various actors, producers and directors to discuss current Israeli issues: such as the damage incurred by the country, as well as "its position on the current cease-fire and threats posed by Hezbollah and other regional forces."

And Sandler's response? A whopping 400 PlayStations for Israelis. He and Danoch signed a pledge at Sony Studios regarding the said donation "where he was joined by members of his own family and several dozen studio employees."

It's a good thing that people are ready to lend a hand, not only by giving basic necessities, but providing a means of entertainment for those affected by the war.

And America is better how?
We have killed a fair number of civilians ourselves. Remember Vietnam? And modern day Iraq? Brush up on your current events. We in America don't need video games either. 60% of us are obese.

But i think Israel is too busy playing Counter-Strike, the REAL game against the Hezbullies. If rockets were blowing my house apart, I don't think that a Playstation will help me feel better.

First off, thats cool of adam sandlar, maybe unorthodox, but cool nonetheless.

Second, Israel has been taking ***** for like 8,000 years, literally, they've been enslaved by the egyptians, phoenicians (IIRC), and a host of other tribes, they've had their land taken I don't know HOW many times, and no one intervenes unless they give them a few miessles and go, "Here fight foryourself". Now that israel wants to start taking action everyone is going, "WAAAA you can't do that, you are supposed to lay down and take it like you hvae been the past 8000 years!!!!". Well bull*****, I'm glad for israel kicking their asses, keep up the good fight.

This is to "13. » Yo"

The difference between the "Israel" of then and now is that they were being prosecuted and they did not do anything to deserve it whereas the Israel of now is that it is provoking action by killing innocent civilians and imprisoning thousands of innocent people. Unless you see a similarity with the two Israels then I believe the Israel of now deserves what its getting. Peace.

what you fail to see is that not so manny of the "innocent civilians" are as "innocent" as thay seem. most get called that cause, over thare thay know that will make you side with them, so don't be fooled by them so easy now

I just can't believe it. Adam Sandler actually believes that Israel is the poor victim of this war??? Besides the war crimes they commited, they are SO RICH that they don't need free playstations!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These ppl the "cause" are called that becase they want to keep their country and fight and not just stand there getting shot at, raped, prisoned,or fledding them from there homes... so really you should watch some news.
Cnn just gives you wat the ppl want to hear...
Al jazera also does the same thing but at the other side...

news you hear comes down to money.

But I went there and I saw... plastinians are innocent, they are forced to fight so they dont die helpless ppl.

I hate to be honest on this, but it's the jews fault for the taking over most of palestine. HOWEVER the jews never told the muslims to get out. NOPE. Its funny, the palestines wanted to raise hatred towards the israelis and said that the israelis are coming to rape, burn and shoot all muslims, so funny enough, everyone believed it and ran the hell out of there scared. hahahaha, i love how extemeists think they're so tuff and how they're "fighting" a holy war.

Another funny fact: Israel defended itself from egypt, syria, palestine, saudi arabia, and the jordanians...ALL AT THE SAME TIME! and guess who won? Israel. infact they spanked the arab nations so bad that they controled 5x more land than what was given to them from the UN. And all in the name of peace they said we'll give it back only if you recognize us. Well that never really happened but they got their land back cause israel was really nice.

But nowadays i don't blame Israel, i'd get tired too if abunch of monkeys wanted to blow themselves up in my city. So I hope you go through that little history lesson. I got it from the CBS (or PBS) "50 years war" movie. good watch.

To n 13 ... yeah they have been takining a beating for x thousand years... so now that they have nukes and the US under there control are they gonna pound everyon else for 800000 years... atrocities are atrocities ... israel is the prime example of state terrorisem ...

on the other hand if they have taken a beating for sooooooooo long ... it makes me ask a question ... why? nothing happens without a reason ... and i wont answer that question ... but i think u know the answer !
