  1. Well, we didn’t get the examples of poster-hatred, so I guess that ends that little exchange.
    Except to say this stunner:
    Israeli jets attack palestinian houses for often the sole reason that palestinians have fired rockets into israel
    Led me to observe:
    And the separation barrier went up for the “sole reason” that 1000+ innocent Israeli civilians were slaughtered in buses, pizza joints and synagogues. Shame on the self-defending Jews acting against type since 1948.

  2. This is exactly what I am talking about, the perpetuality of violence. Regardless of motive, bombed houses create dead innocents, many more than 1000 since 1948, I might add.
    Dead innocents, create hatred and turn ordinary people into suicide bombers and stone throwers.
    What is the difference between a suicide bomber and a F16?
    As an Algerian resistance fighter said of his struggle to oust the French from his country, “you give us some tanks, planes and helicopters and we’ll stop blowing up cafes.”
    Also if anyone cares… Israel has illegally, by UN votes of 147 to 2 (US & Israel) occupied parts of Palestine for over 40 years. The security fence is also illegally built on Palestinian territory. Would any people of the world simply lie down and let another country forcible annex it’s most furtile land? The rest of the world gets the significance of all this. I wonder what makes it so difficult for us?
    Problems don’t just arise from nothing MND. There are always reasons for things. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and see it from their side.

  3. Well, I don’t think this thread was about the Arab-Israeli conflict per se. Lots of very thoughtful people — including ET — are pro-Arab, lots pro-Israeli.
    Regardless of your view on the conflict — your allocation of blame — the issue is: if you have a grievance is it acceptable to target and mass-murder innocent civilians on buses, pizza parlours and synagogues? Surely the answer is: NO.
    Regarless of your view, you MUST unequivocally denounce the deliberate, targeted murder of innocent civilians. If you don’t you lend moral support to this egregious behaviour. And you must spend some time studying Arab propaganda (taught to them by the Nazis – go to MEMRI — have a look at Pally TV, radio, and print journalism.)
    Israel does not DELIBERATELY murder innocent civilians — au contraire — they sacrifie their own soldiers in trying to minimize collateral death. Yes, when the combatant terrorists fight from their midst and hide among them, the death of innocent civilians is inevitable. The Geneva convention, however, makes it clear that this is a war crime (on the Arab side). Also, remember, the Arabs deliberately sacrifice their own innocents (sic) for propaganda purposes — what some call Pallywood. This reality is now exhaustively documented. See Lebanon, summer 2006. Staged scences for western consumption.
    Dont rule this out because he’s a Jew. He’s a liberal Jew who teaches at Harvard: Alan Dershowitz. Read his, “The Case for Israel”. It covers chapter by chapter all the hoary myths about Israeli culapbility and is not without criticism of Israel.

  4. just to say… an iranian president who denies the truth of the holecaust, denies the truth of iran pursuing nuclear bombs to obliterate israel, well is it little wonder that we should doubt his truthfulness? and that of the radical arab people… palestinians could have resettled in any number of countries their leadership have stolen the funding from sponsor states for their own benefit and left their own people to perish under tyranny and self imposed gulag conditions. interesting how there is only one democracy in the middle east that is functioning as a democracy. tyranny of whatever stripe, left right secular or religous or dictatorships only thrive on subverting freedom.

  5. Dershowitz is not just a jew he is one of the leading public defenders of Israeli policy in the world and one of the major apologisers for the Israel lobby.
    He’s the kind of person, and I’ve seen him do it, who calls you and your views anti-semetic if you criticise the Israeli government. A classic, insulting and downright immoral tactic.
    The polite critisms in his book only serve to give the impression of objectivity while his real agenda is clear for most to see.
    I sincerely hope you gleen your knowledge from a wider variety of sources than that. Jimmy Carter’s new book is apparently reasonably objective.

  6. I honestly think you would be surprised by the book. I know I was. As to his being an apologist for the “Israeli lobby” remember there’s a massive Arab-Wahhabi lobby too AND a 5th column including terrorist fronts like CAIR.
    Also let’s remember that 6 million (including 1 million Arabs!) are surrounded by maybe 300 million Arabs and Persians who want a the ME judenrein., or put less delicately, all jews dead or pushed into the sea.
    Again, I think you will be very surprised by his tone and, at least in this book, his reticence in labelling all critics of Israel anti-semitic.

  7. my last indepth civil reply was sent for checking (censored?) i write this just to see if this one gets posted

  8. that’s weird. i wonder what was in my last one to get pulled up. The word chomsky perhaps?

  9. no, paranoia. anyway MND, I wont write it all again. I don’t listen to Israeli or Arab propaganda. And I am adept at recognising them both. Read Chomsky to understand the world better…
    peace and understanding. good luck

  10. This just in: it’s official. The Al-Durah killing was STAGED. (in case you don’t know the story: the little 12-year old boy and his father allegedly killed by Israeli soldiers in 2000 (?).
    STAGED. PALLYWOOD. This propaganda fraud did enormous damage to Israel. Enormous.

  11. Read Chomsky to understand the world better…..Johnny Miller
    Like I said, your posts are unadulterated drivel. Chomsky is a theocratic / socialist / communist bootlicking vapid mental midget. It’s of no surprise you’d respect such a historically illiterate ignoramus; you’ve validate my point that you should be simply ridiculed and mocked.

  12. He’s the kind of person, and I’ve seen him do it, who calls you and your views anti-semetic if you criticise the Israeli government. A classic, insulting and downright immoral tactic……Johnny Miller
    More gibberish from the mental midget. Immoral?? You pitiful dunce. Do you have the same righteous indignation for the islamist homicide bombers that walk into Israeli pizzeria filled with women and children murdering them indiscriminately? Your views reveal a coward to the core.

  13. I sincerely hope you gleen your knowledge from a wider variety of sources than that. Jimmy Carter’s new book is apparently reasonably objective………..Johnny Miller
    Your ignorance knows no bounds. Dhimmi Carter is an unabashed Jew hating, Arab bootlicking propagandist. Also title holder here in the good ol’ US of A as the worst President in American history. He is single handedly responsible for the islamic menace the world faces today. Under his watch, or lack there of, the islamic revolution unfolded. The man is a national disgrace and you’ve once again proven that you’re intellectually retarded worthy solely of ridicule and mockery.

  14. Apollyon, my sentiments exactly.
    Moral pygmies also seem to have pea sized brains. Interesting . . .

  15. Also if anyone cares… Israel has illegally, by UN votes of 147 to 2 (US & Israel) occupied parts of Palestine for over 40 years……..Johnny Miller
    Your idiocy should be documented, ironically it is. Listen up dimwit, the UN is a circus of diseased vermin that sit around flinging their feces at Israel and the US. It is compromised of some of the worst criminals of humanity making a complete mockery of its mission. The UN has the capacity of passing two types of resolutions, binding and non-binding. The Security Council passes binding resolutions that can be enforced with war. Non-binding resolutions are passed by the America/Israel hating two-legged rodents and is simply a documented temper tantrum. Since the UN’s inception it has passed nearly 650 non-binding resolution, approx 450 of those have been against tiny Israel. How many have been against Iran where they publicly hang gays, or how about against the other Arab/Muslim nations where they stone women to death?
    If I had my way the UN would be kicked out of the US and we’d no longer be participants in this theatre of the absurd.

  16. Lookout, the fact that there are millions that share Miller’s views is a sign of the decline of the west.

  17. Also if anyone cares… Israel has illegally, by UN votes of 147 to 2 (US & Israel) occupied parts of Palestine for over 40 years……..Johnny Miller
    Israels boundaries were set long ago………..
    “And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: ‘Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land of Canaan, this shall be the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan according to the borders thereof. Thus your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin close by the side of Edom, and your south border shall begin at the end of the Salt Sea eastward; and your border shall turn about southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass along to Zin; and the goings out thereof shall be southward of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall go forth to Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon; and the border shall turn about from Azmon unto the Brook of Egypt, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Sea. And for the western border, ye shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your west border. And this shall be your north border: from the Great Sea ye shall mark out your line unto mount Hor; from mount Hor ye shall mark out a line unto the entrance to Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad; and the border shall go forth to Ziphron, and the goings out thereof shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be your north border. And ye shall mark out your line for the east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham; and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down, and shall strike upon the slope of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; and the border shall go down to the Jordan, and the goings out thereof shall be at the Salt Sea; this shall be your land according to the borders thereof round about.’ And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: ‘This is the land wherein ye shall receive inheritance by lot, which the LORD hath commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe; for the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their fathers’ houses, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to their fathers’ houses, have received, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received, their inheritance; the two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, toward the sun-rising.’

  18. Apollyon, I agree with you about the decline in the West and I share your utter disdain for the UN, which is run by thug states.
    The authorities to which JM appeals are anathema to me and, I believe, to all reasonable people who have half a clue about what’s really going on. (Those who rely on the MSM for their information simply get left-wing propaganda and, if thay believe it, get brainwashed too.)
