How very apt, yonira, sometimes you impress me with your inadvertent astuteness. Are you comparing Zionist beliefs to creationist ones now?

I am sure you were all up in arms over the pictures weren't you? The pig bone thing is such a joke. Archeologists have discovered human remains and dinosaur remains in the same area, does that mean dinosaurs and man walked the earth together? I am sure that shit you guys read went on the explain that Masada prior to the Jewish revolt(if it even happened) was home to King Herod who didn't follow any laws of kashrut. Once you convince me that dinosaurs and man walked on the earth together, i might believe that shit, but until then the pig thing is irrelevant. Chaos,

OTH, unless nothing significant happened at the Nuremberg Trials, and we ignore the Geneva conventions etc, and the scores of years chasing down old Nazis suspects, the hasabara point Mooser knows (the whole world sucks) really doesn't get us to an astute POV of what should happen now. It's a real question of whether any humane progression is simply a mirage; maybe it is just as Goering said, a matter of power. The Queen is dead, long live the queen. Is it never again universally, or never again impacting the Jews? Isn't this the real question? Obama is now fussing about Afghanistan, a place that is moved by tribal politics. The USA itself is having this tension, disguised as ID politics. Either the proposition that all men are created with an equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is a political version of the golden rule here on earth, or it is just a feint for the gullible; which is it? In the deed is the creed. I don't really see the conventional antagonists on any side coming out very well. I do see a small elite around the world sucking up most of the world's resources.

What we can do is come up with a solution right now, or as soon as possible, and end the suffering the Palestinians endure. I believe the best way and more importantly the quickest way to accomplish this is w/ what I prescribed above.

Why would pig bones be found at the exact site the Jewish martyrs died? And why were the human skeletal remains found along with them there not a good match for the frames of Jews in the area in those days, but a closer match to the frames of non-Jews? Those are just two of the findings, inter alia.
