Re: Thanks for that, Ray.
Actually, I was pointing the lack of a coherent point in your post above. It is a mean-spirited attack on someone with whom you disgree, for no reason other than you disagree with them.
Either that or the truth hurt and your intellect has no ability to refute except by innuendo. If my original point was as you say then there would have been no response.

The subject is about Israel's current behavior.

    Back on Topic
    Israel is defending itself against a people who cheered wildly over 911 and the same has conducted countless mudercide bombings of persons unaware. Now, suit and tie British elites (skin heads) are turning a blind eye....imagine that....murder of civilians sitting in coffee shops is okay....all from modern rational minds LOL !

    Ray, 9-11 has NOTHING to do with Israel. Neither does what British actions.

    um. kidnapping it is not. see, usually we call these "prisoners of wor" but no one is half decent enough to give pallestine the dignity to hold such things as official terminology. they are a country, they have a government, they have infrastructure. but, israel doesn't like them so they aren't given the right to these and the recognition of it. they say it's because the pallestinians refuse to recognize israel as a country. i say it's the other way around.
    and an act of war is a relative thing. it depends on who is acted against and how tightly their panties are bunched.

    Lebanon Taken Hostage
    The militant Islamic Hezbollah has essentially taken over the Lebanese government and holding the nation hostage to it's militant power. No doubt many Lebanese welcome this action by Israel to either significantly diminish the Hezbollah which has it's own private army in Lebanon and has significant infiltration into the Lebanon army according to interviews of people who seem to know featured on Fox News today. Threre are allegedly hundreds of Iran's Red Guard in Lebanon with sophisticated missles and other missles enabling Hezbollah to put up a significant resistance to Israel.
    The Israeli ambassador to the US interviewed on Fox says Israel is not backing off until Hezbollah is removed from South Lebanon, so this war may last some time. Again, the atrocities have been initiated by Islamic terrorist factions and not Israel which has little choice if they are to survive as a nation, having Hamas in Gaza and Hezbolla in Lebanon supported and armed by both Syria and Iran.

    yes, i forget this logic works in the neo-con camps. i don't think ANYONE welcomes their country being bombed. i know you guys think all of us non-bush-supporters would welcome being bombed by terrorists, but we won't. just like you wouldn't welcome being bombed if kerry got elected instead.

    little choice in committing atrocities? oh bullshit. everyone has a choice. the choice is to respect the live and dignity of others or not. survival schmerival. if they want to continue to be "the best country in the middle east" and "the only country that respects human rights in the middle east" or whatever other bullshit propaganda leeches out into hillel clubs everywhere, they're going to have to make that choice. it's really not a hard one.
    i'm sure you'd say the same thing if geaorgie porgie started jailing democrats near the end of his term. "he has little choice if he wants to maintain our important position in the war on terror". i'll give you terror. a president who doesn't respect the constitution and a raving mad nation of post-holocaust, zionists mixed with pre-apocalyptic fundies. that's fucking terror.

    Israeli animals
    Dear God in Heaven, what is Israel doing?
    May their God have mercy on their souls, they are slaughtering people without a second thought, they are no better than animals.

    Being an American, I have a hard time getting accurate, unbiased coverage of Israel-related events.
    Can anybody recommend a source? I confess that I don't exactly know what's going on over there.

    Second this. I stopped paying attention to the news for a few days and I am hopelessly lost as to what on earth is going on. Any nice summaries/timelines out there?

    Re: War with????
    We try to point out that it is Islam that is the source of worldwide terrorism because it teaches hatred of Jews and Christians and conquest of the world for Allah,
    how many islamic people do you know? the ones i know don't seem to be calling for the death of jews and christians, or conquest of the world. christianity called for similar things for many years, as i'm sure you remember. if it's set off by multiple religions, but not all members of that religion think like this, then it's really hard to establish a causal relationship.
    right now, most terrorists are islamic, yes. but that does not mean that all terrorism is caused by islam, or even that any terrorism is caused by islam. rather, it's a tool that is being used to convince people.
    and we get called racist for that, and are said to be calling for the death of all Arabs.
    what do you propose we do with the palestinians, since they're all jew-hating terrorists?
    You guys have no conscience to make up such stuff.
    i think the person who makes gross and damning generalizations about entire groups of people and faiths has no conscience. but maybe that's just me.
