Really?  Maybe you can get Green Helmet and Islamic Rage Boy on the case.  They can drive to the scene in a specially outfitted ambulance with pre-loaded corpses.

Palestinian Member of Israeli Knesset Receives Death Threats After Surviving Israeli Raid on Gaza Aid Flotilla

Survivors of the flotilla who have been released have said that the Israeli citizens in custody were handled in a much worse manner than the international citizens.

So I agree with you, but find your assessment of how much Israel supports the rights of it's citizens (Particularly when it is not their right to bulldoze) misinformed.

Israel and the occupied territories have been constantly featured in unbiased lists of international destinations where the government is hostile toward free press (AKA Media Predators). So these types of things are relatively unsurprising to me.

The reactions here are kinda funny though, it seems that there is an online army that spurs to defend Israeli imperialism (AKA Zionism) far faster and with more vitriol and posturing than they do american imperialism. Yet there is never anyone who advocates for Jihad in such a manner. The main problem is that, other than god's criticisms, the Israeli action apologists/deniers often resort to this absurd rhetoric about concentration camps or suicide bombers/jihad rather than discussing the issues.

this is how its done kids, this guy is totally unbiased.
And his argument is hole-proof

i wonder if i can do it too.


All reasonable men will stand up and Say I am their GOD




did it work??? am i your God yet?:tongue2:



Then again presenting you with obvious evidence won't work either  :shrug:  Maybe one day you'll understand why people have problems with ultraviolent scum and take it's victim side, more likely you won't. Anyway there is no way to reason you out of something you've never been reasoned into in the first place


oh i love you AlexD, so much rage and hate....you remind me of my dog, perhaps thats why i'm so fond of you.

i'm niether side really. both sides are like children, owwww mum he hit me, no he hit me first waaaaaaaaaa

bunch of stupid fuckers, the zionists are stubborn arrogant pricks and the palestinians aren't any better. both sides are going to call negative media "propaganda".

Now i think it was a stupid idea to create isreal, especially creating it where it is, but its done now and plenty of people on either side is going to pay the price. Those who suffer unfortunetly are going to be civilians on both sides.
militant and military casualties i won't worry about, cause if your fucking stupid enough to be a weapon in some other nutjob's aresenal you deserve everything thats coming to you.

its easy enough for you to dehumanize the side that you don't like, unfortunetly for me i understand that the human on either side could be swapped out, that if that human had my life they could well have the same or at least similar beleifs to myself, so it is hard for me to fall into the ignorant bliss of US vs THEM pack mentality.

i have no reason cause simply don't think there is a reason to kill or to advocate that kind of killing. i can understand it from somone with little education, unable to form the thoughts that reveal to them the human condition, for them its a simply animal case of survival but those who understand our condition should know better.

LOL Yeah all those hatred and rage in my post was overwhelming and apparently as overwhelming as the hatred and rage you see in your poor dog...At this point I'm starting to think you really have some issues


As to the main point I'm starting to wonder If HAMAS/FATAH and their supporters sink to new lows (if that's even possible) and start I don't know say kidnapping israely children and force their own children to torture them, while Israel goes to some new ridiculous lengths to make sure they engage only militants, will you still tie yourself into knots trying to pretend both sides are equal and to pass this ignorance and selfishness as some sort of high road?

Oh who am I kidding of course you will.

Yeah tell it to the first wave of IDF troops armed with paintball guns while boarding the ship filled with violent armed Islamist goons. Or to HAMAS terrorists who, in all the years of conflict, somehow managed to only produce fakes like the Al-Dura debacle, Gaza beach shelling and all the rest of Pallywood stuff.

Israel Advances East Jerusalem Demolitions, Orders Expulsion of 4 Palestinian Politicians
Quote:
In Israel and the Occupied Territories, the Israeli government is proceeding with plans to demolish over twenty Palestinian homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan. Israel wants to build an archeological park in their place. The move comes just two weeks before Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Obama at the White House. Israel meanwhile has also ordered the expulsion of four Palestinian politicians affiliated with Hamas. The politicians’ residency status has been revoked after they were deemed "disloyal" to the Israeli state. Palestinian Authority spokesperson Ghassan Khatib criticized the Israeli measures.

   
Quote:
Ghassan Khatib: "The Palestinian government criticized and condemned the most recent Israeli violation of Palestinian rights in East Jerusalem, particularly the deportation of four Palestinian Legislative Council members who are alleged of not being loyal to the state of Israel."



I mean I suppose technically they aren't citizens anymore so they aren't really violating the rights of their citizens.


Alex, you were using exclamation marks and talking about suicide bombers, you really expect to play that to play off as not angry?

No, talk about suicide bombers and usage of exclamation marks has nothing to do with being angry, besides there was none of that in the post he was replying to. You can't even get such simple facts straight :shrug:

well that depends on which side of the polarity ffence you're sitting on :smirk:

why did they have paintball guns again???? are they now considered an effective means of crowd control???? did they think the aid workers, terrorists or freedom fighters (depending on the spin you beleive) were gonna give up if they got thier shirts stained????  Was it the result of instensive foreplanning that lead them to the idea "hey lets jump on the boat with paintball guns, piss em right off, and then claim we are the non-violent victims when they throw us off thier ship"

regardless of the option....it was stupid.

Top article as of right now on your chosen source:

http://www.sott.net/articles/show/211215-Is-the-U-S-a-Fascist-Police-State-



I lived in Chile during the Pinochet dictatorship - I can spot a fascist police-state when I see one.

The United States is a fascist police-state.

Harsh words - incendiary, even. And none too clever of me, to use such language: Time was, the crazies and reactionaries wearing tin-foil hats who flung around such a characterization of the United States were disqualified by sensible people as being hysterical nutters - rightfully so.

But with yesterday's Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project decision (No. 08-1498, also 09-89) of the Supreme Court, coupled with last week's Arar v. Ashcroft denial of certiorari (No. 09-923), the case for claiming that the U.S. is a fascist police-state just got a whole lot stronger.


Given that Hamas and the other Islamo-fascxist terrorists this moron sucks the cameldick of are the real fascists this is quite laughable.  Money and information are fungible.  If by providing one service for free to a terrorist you enable him to spend money on bombs then you have enabled the bomb purchase.  Word to your and everybody else's mom.  Don't do anything nice for terrorists.  They are sucky people who kill.

create a new topic then Zappa. trust me, I am very unhappy with my country right now, but I do not deny that a lot of it is caused by US support of Israel.

U.S. support of Israel motivates terrorists, which jeopardizes the safety of our troops, and also jeopardizes the safety of our country here at home. and don't forget about the financial support of Israel which comes at the expense of U.S. tax payers here at home... funny that we are in the worse economic recession since the Great Depression yet we can afford to give Israel billions while our own people are going jobless and hungry at a higher and higher rate.

amazing.

What is your country, Pook?  If you are particularly unhappy now with US support for Israel it seems a little odd since it is at an all time low in the current regime.  There has not been a less Israel supporting regime in the WH ever.

The financial support of Israel is fucking peanuts.  We also send money all over the fucking globe but it's only Israel you bitch about, a Democracy beset on all sides by genocidal maniacs?  And you post retarded shit by lying murdering scum as if it were gospel?  Fucking spare me your terrorist sucking bullshit.  Your idea of a solution is to surrender to murdering fascist scum?  Theo van Gogh deserves better than this kind of cowardice.

Here is my problem. AIPAC represents a small minority view in the USA, a view which advocates for billions in funding and military support despite the fact that our country is literally in the worst economic recession since the great depression. Look here, and you will see that AIPAC is listed as the Number 2 or 3 most influential lobbying group in the USA:

1. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1997/12/08/234927/index.htm

2. http://www.top10links.com/cat.php/Society%3AGovernment%3APolitics%3ALobbying+Groups#

When a minority view dominates our country and media so severely that we continue to shell out billions to them during our ECONOMIC RECESSION, even when Israel wants new defense items such as the Iron Dome Missile Defense System while simultaneously refusing to pay for it and pressuring the USA to pay for it instead (see here: http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/obama-okays-205m-for-iron-dome-1.290284 ) that is a problem. Not just for me, but for everyone in this country, whether they realize it or not.

You say the Obama Administration is the least supportive of Israel ever? Huh?

08/14/09 - Barack Obama's 2008 AIPAC Speech



"As President, I (Barack Obama) will implement a memorandum of understanding that provides $30 billion in assistance to Israel over the next decade, investments to Israel’s security that will not be tied to any other nation." (from page 2, paragraph 5)

Link to speech: http://middleeast.about.com/od/usmideastpolicy/a/me080605.htm

-----------------------------------------------------------
From http://www.ifamericansonlyknew.org/stats/usaid.html

"The U.S. is providing Israel with at least $7.0 million each day* in military aid and is giving the Palestinians $0** in military aid during Fiscal Year 2009."

"Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll. Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion dollars. Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year. This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.”

More information and sources of the data: http://www.ifamericansonlyknew.org/stats/usaid.html#source
----------------------------------------------------------


To more clearly understand what my problem is with Israel's AIPAC, and why I have a problem with it, please watch these two short extremely informative videos:

Israel's AIPAC: The Voice of America (Part 1):

Israel's AIPAC: The Voice of America (Part 2):


I hope this clarifies what my "problem" is Zappa.

Cheers,

-Abe
