"Because so many Jews look like Arabs, or have Arab-Semitic ancestry, the whole thing would collapse if you don’t have means of identifying the untermenschen and tagging them for discrimination"
Can we cut through the BS please: the inconvenient truth for the Zios is that so many Jews are Arabs.
Does anyone know what color the sticker is for Arab Jews who have converted to Islam?
mondonut says:
Everything. An Arab proposal from the Arab League presented on behalf of the Palestinian Arabs should at least have the support of the Palestinian Arabs.This "support of the Palestinian Arabs" you're crapping on about, should it have been provided after the last, or before the next racist price-tag/house demolition/internal checkpoint/carpet bombing?
… That’s the funny part, as the Hamas quotes prove the Palestinians are intransigent even towards their supposed friends.
It's only "funny" if you're a racist.
...Poor attitude, they should decide they want a state more than they want to do harm to Israel...Poor judgement, Israel is a settler colonial state which never has and never will reach critical mass and is a goner, either way, so enjoy your racist Jew-supremacist paradise while you still can.
... What concessions? They have not made any.
What further concessions do you seek from those you continue to dehumanize and oppress?
… If the Palestinians want a freeze within areas they ultimately fully control (largely true as it is), they should say so. Asking for a freeze over areas the Israelis have no intention of relinquishing (Jerusalem) is a request for a major Israeli concession, if they want something like that – sit down and negotiate it... The Palestinians won't be ethnically cleansing themselves, so enjoy your settler colonial state while it lasts.
…Why should they do that without negotiations? The Palestinians know full well the Israelis are not going to grant a RoR or give up the entirety of EastJerusalem, have the Palestinians ever been willing to work within those parameters?Settler colonial entities cannot be "negotiated" with.

"Send young people into war, and this, and much worse, is what you get. They need to think of the enemy as an “other,” not a human being with whom they empathize, to rationalize what they do to them. Then something humanizes the “other” for them, reveals their naivete/bias/stupidity, and they have the rest of their lives to regret their youthful excesses."
There is no "other".
A Jew can simultaneously be a Jew and an Arab. Moreover, if a Jew can be an atheist, then a Jew can also be a Christian or a Muslim.

"Those are not facts. They are not even remotely correct. Non-Israeli Jewish residents of the West Bank (yes, they exist) are not allowed to vote in Israeli elections. Conversely, non-Jewish Israeli residents of the West Bank are allowed to vote.
The requirement to vote is to be Israeli, not Jewish."
And the requirement to be a Zionist apologist is to be extremely blinkered, as well as to be oh so very ****ing stupid.
Please, there is NO true freedom of movement within "Israel". Not for Jews or for anyone else, and certainly not for any of the extremely stupid Jews (yes, they exist) who are actually dumb enough to buy that whole "Israel" is a WHITE beacon of WHITE light that just wants to be allowed the right to shine all of its precious WHITE beams of WHITE light unto the nations propaganda bullshit.

"When you tell a people who are under constant threat of terrorism that they have “nothing to fear,” you’re effectively denying them their basic human right to protect themselves.
It’s clear you have no appreciation for the right of Jews to basic self-protection."
Unlike you, hop, I have absolutely no "appreciation for the right of Jews" to be hasbara spouting terrorists.
I have zero appreciation for all and for any Jews who believe that they have some god given right which entitles them to willfully engage in a program of ethnic cleansing and genocide in some perceived promised land, while simultaneously demanding "the right of Jews to basic self-protection", a right of "basic self-protection" from those very people they're victimizing.
Are you new?
The effing "media" never stop talking "about Zionism". The "media" love to "talk about Zionism" so goddamned much, in fact, that you can never seem to get them to STFU about it. Hell, the "media" have only been peddling that toxic Zionism crap for years and years, treating it like it was the real shit and manipulating us into believing that 8 out of 10 cats prefer it, then characterizing the two which don't as self-hating anti-Semite scum who just don't count.

"I stand by my original statement. Murder is murder is murder, and there’s no defense for Goldstein or Popper or Zada. None, and I’d appreciate if further responders don’t twist my words to sound as if there is. There isn’t."
So in the paragraph I've quoted above, you affirm your sincerely held belief that "Murder is murder is murder", implying in absolute terms that you perceive any and all murder to be one and the same...
Winnica says:
August 1, 2012 at 10:26 am
"My statement was not that in the century-long conflict between Jews and Arabs, there have never been cases of Jews murdering Arabs. Of course there have – tho far fewer than in the opposite direction, and vastly fewer than Arab-on-Arab murders during the same century."
...except in your next paragraph, which I've quoted above, you first start out by further reaffirming your prior absolutist "statement" and stance vis-à-vis "murder", then you appear to have some sort of brain fart, which causes you to follow this plaintive re-affirmation of the absolute with a string of qualifiers, which effectively renders null and void your prior absolutist "statement" and stance vis-à-vis "murder".

"My point was that although Israelis are armed to the teeth in comparison with any populace in the developed world, and unlike Americans they’ve got widespread access to automatic weapons, still there are no contextless mass murders of fellow civilians, such as are all too common in the US, and happen from time to time elsewhere, too."
Poor Whinnyca, you're actually less than pointless now, you are positively flailing about, as you really are reaching with your pitiful attempts at making some sort of - indeed any sort of - coherent point.
Still, I expect it takes a very special intellect, Whinny, for someone to be capable of descending all the way from "Murder is murder is murder", all the way down to Israel rocks and the rest of the World sucks.

"As someone who is often in Israel and also the West Bank ..."
Sure. Just like I'm sure that in your gnat-like perception, each time you've been lucky enough to ascend to your cherished ErsatzYisrael, you inexplicably yet inevitably end up spending most of your time and dollahs living it large in the Gaza Strip, where the beaches and shopping are just to die for, quite literally.

"Have you ever noticed how the number of Israelis walking around with fully automatic weapons (which tend to be illegal in the US) is startingly high, and yet Israel has never had a single Columbine- or Aurora-style senseless mass-murder?"
No, Whinyca, Israelis being the incredibly modest bunch they are, are simply happy to be able to go round murdering goyim by shooting them in broad daylight and at point blank range, without having to suffer any consequences.
In fact, Whiny, so much of a WHITE light unto the nations is your beloved Israel, that even a lowly shtetl Jew coming all the way from the Brooklyn shtetl can ascend so that he may massacre goyim during their time of prayers and then be idolized in death.
People think you are good, but you are hard-hearted.

No, Russia, that guttural Neo-hebrew that you had to learn so that you could go and oppress the true natives of the land on which you're squatting , certainly is not dead Hebrew magically "reborn" (although I have heard others refer to it as Bastard-hebrew and/or Zombie-hebrew); Neo-hebrew is actually an artificial language, Russia, and the sole reason for its existence is because your Zion masters had to devise a way of duping the weak-minded into believing that another one of their self-serving inventions, that being the fairy-tale of "our people", wasn't just a cynical narrative device concocted by some entitled White people in Europe, sometime in the 1900s, as a means of enabling their selfish desire to have their cake and eat it too.

Training? What is this training the IDF for?
So that Tzahal may continue terrorizing and murdering unarmed civilians, while simultaneously managing to maintain morals that are simply world- class, silly.
The pursuit of this noble aim requires more than just rolling out of bed, and into the loving bosom of Tzahal; much time, great effort, more Lebensraum, all three are necessary for the proper teaching of the moral ways of Tzahal.

"Terrorism refers only to attacks directed against Israelis or members of nations that support Israel.
Since we have no reason to suspect that this individual opposes Israel, there’s no reason to label him a terrorist."
HAHAHA! Excellent. :D
Although he really ought to have called first. Perhaps Bibi the Humanist could be persuaded to adopt him; just a few short months in the Tzahal, and he could become a terrorist and a murderer with morals that are simply world-class.
It's truly disheartening when it's left to the Russian usurper to ask the pertinent question (regardless of his intent).
It is perfectly acceptable to refer to Holmes as a terrorist , and to refer to his actions as terrorism, whether his motive was a political one, or not.
Terrorist: 2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others
Terrorize: 1. to fill or overcome with terror
Terrorism: 2. the act of terrorizing 3. the state of being terrorized
No, the real reason the American media are unwilling to refer to Holmes as a terrorist has far less to do with proper English usage, and everything to do with the continual co-opting of the English Language by the powers that be.
In America, nowadays, it's only those people who can't pass for White who get to be terrorists, Muslims excepted.

Yeah, even I think this is a bad idea. They’re what, moving the buildings from one place to another in the settlement? That’s one thing, but building another 851 more (up from 300) is just provocative. How about stopping the expansion for long enough to have peace talks. Start it at a unilateral one week freeze on new building starts and keep it going as long as the talks go on. Give the Palestinians an incentive to talk peace, to go along with all the incentives they have to actually make peace..
Oh-Yah, of course, those procrastinating Palestinians should totally just be given the right incentive, because had the Jews of Auschwitz been prepared to be just a teensy bit more agreeable, everyone would have lived happily ever after. All that Ziocaine must have finally blown your third brain, seriously. Or perhaps playing the stereotypical Dumb American is another Hasbara con-trick? *shrug*

seafoid, I find your comment “Judaism is at the rotten heart of it” offensive. Zionism is at the rotten heart of it and there are quite a few anti-Zionist Jews.
Do you honestly think it's reasonable to believe that people should be able to easily separate Zionism from Jews and/or Judaism, when Israel has co-opted Judaism by design, and commits all its crimes against humanity in the name of Jews and Judaism, all while adorning its instruments of oppression with all the Jew symbols (I'm sorry, but I refuse nowadays to use the word Jewish as I find the entire Zionist notion of a "Jewish" nation to be beyond abhorrent) it can get its murdering hands on, only to then seek further sanctions should anyone dare to even hint that it was Jews and/or Judaism that were to blame?
Since its inception Zionism has screwed ordinary Jews more than any other group, truly it has, and in some ways even more so than it has the Palestinians.
These freaks have the ability to rationalize their behavior in ways that only psychopaths can.
American, have you read the should be hilarious comments for that piece?:
"No.47: Cool - who are you anyway? You present so logically and non-hysterically what some right-wingers have been saying for years - only you come off as liberal and humanitarian!

I'm still mostly of the opinion that we've yet to reach the tipping point in the USA and that things remain just about fixable through the political process, yet when I read news stories like the Kill List story in the NYT from a week ago, and then read/skim through the over 1000 associated comments, only to discover that the vast majority of the comments exhibit the kind of apathetic, navel-gazing, it's me or them, kill-them-MOOslim-terrorist-vermin-by-remote-control-so-no-one-has-to-die racism, couched within the sort of retarded rationalizing that would win a Ziobot a hot prize, and nobody on Mondoweiss seems to be talking about it within the context of those comments, those soul-shattering comments, the world around me darkens and I'm trapped in endless winter:

"If someone wants to wipe you off the map, are you going to help them?"
Giladog, the last time I checked Jews were (amongst other things): a nation, a people, a girl group, an ethnic group, a religious group, a tribe, secular, Israelis, a state, an ethnoreligious group, the Canaanites, a country, Arabs, a very special people indeed, Muslims, the chosen people, Israel, a culture, the Hebrews, a Semitic people, a nation state, a race, a nationality, the Israelites, culture vultures, Christians, Nazis, the neo-Hebrews, boy geniuses, Zionists, cake addicts who just can't get enough of the stuff.
AFAIK, however, not a single Jew has claimed to be (as of yet): made of paper, an ink creation, formed from pixels of light.
So, please try not to worry too much should someone ever threaten "to wipe you off the map".
So, the Nazi book-burning of The Third Reich is perceived as a truly terrible thing by the Won't Someone Just Think of the Jews London Org., but the documented Zionist flesh-burning of Palestinian civilians with illegal white phosphorous by The Fourth Reich demands them a place at the table. Uh, how do you say completely effin' mental in the new-Hebrew again?
Does it make me an evil anti-Semiticish if I condemn the entire nonsense-notion of "Jewishness"?

Anyway, how do I program you to give me a wake-up call the next time the US Supreme Court uses the eminent domain clause in the US constitution to evict people from their homes in Taiwan, say, or Ramallah? I need you to be doubly sure that you'll wake me the next time the US Supreme Court uses the eminent domain clause in the US constitution to terrorize and evict a bunch of pissy, whiny, obscenely self-entitled and self-important, formerly from the Tri-State area, American-Settler-Jews, from any of the stolen Palestinian homes they're squatting in.

"It would be better to declare that Palestinians want Eretz Israeli citizenship and are prepared to go to the UN to get it."
The white ones don't even need to wait, if they can somehow get themselves to Mother Russia, or Queens. Once there, and with the right know how, it should be easy enough to fit themselves up with Jew papers, a fake passport and a killer back-story that's just full of woe.
The Aaliyah route isn't advisable for Palestinians who can't pass for white, however, as it's a lot more hassle. It's probably better to wait for the UN to do the right thing, if that's the case.

The language we use to describe things has a powerful effect on the perception of those things. By continuing to use the term anti-Semitic when we're not engaging in a discussion about the rights and wrongs of opposing Semitic, we are altering/have likely already altered the perception of the subject being discussed, and in more severe ways than we might realize. This obfuscation is only of benefit to the Israelis. Israel needs obfuscation to survive. Israel cannot survive without this continual obfuscation of the truth.

If Mr Weiss is going to insist on publicly valorizing the utterly ridiculous Israeli democracy myth, it would be extremely naive not to expect some sort of reflexive Pavlovian response to occur, especially considering the chosen forum.
It was the Weiss's inexplicable valoriziation of the uber rididiculous encouraging it when he valorizied the the myth of

Comparing "Israel" with South Africa and Germany is rather "unhinged" hoppy, I mean "Israel" isn't even a proper country, and that's just for starters.
Are you currently squatting on the land of some poor Palestinian farmer, hop? Is that why your heart bleeds for those Palestinian farmers you mentioned? Or is all this just another manifestation of that tedious White Jew's Burden routine (which all you ZioBots have, built into your operating systems)?
Sorry, the what theory?
Is that "Just War Theory"as in this is a righteous war and God approves so hello heaven, or the "Just War Theory" as in let's just keep terrorizing them Ay-rabs whilst constantly accruing more Lebensraum for the Fourth Reich and propping up the American military machine and getting the American taxpayer to foot the bill?

1. Does the Bible say it's okay for Agnostic Jews, Atheist Jews, Baha'i Jews, Buddhist Jews, Christian Jews, Hindu Jews, Muslim Jews, etc, to make Aaliyah, or is that right reserved solely for Jew Jews because the ZioBible thinks they're extra special special?
2. Why is the movie version of Exodus so insufferably dull? Would it have been a significantly improved film, and any less boring, had it featured a bit more of that thrilling Jew-on-Arab racism that featured in bucket-loads in the original book?
3. Was Humus invented by Herzl, and is it true what the Arabs say about falafels (i.e. they're basically Zionist invented propaganda weapons, like new-Hebrew and that anti-Semitism word)?
4. Truth or falsehood?: Sharia is to Halacha, as Terrorist is to Freedom Fighter.
5. Does the Bible say whether it's anti-Semitic and/or a sin against G-d to claim that the Zionist classic The Jew who made the Palestine desert bloom, and other stories you'll want to wish were true would have been far less compelling a narrative had the focus been a bit less on the whole: of course, it's only because they're Jews that they're Extra Special, oh, and look see they can even do magical agriculture thing, and had focussed a whole lot more instead on how those wannabe founders of new Zion were wealthy, well-educated and well-connected, and that every last one of them was a native European - oh, and White?
5. What is a Jew, no, I mean really - and how does one join?
Yes, alright, all the above is horribly offensive, laughable and is beyond ridiculous, but it was meant to be, a bit like Zionism. And like Zionism, it might just make some of you want to laugh at the ridiculousness of it. ;)
Anyway, one of my posts appears to have gone walkies already, so assuming this one got through the mods, I'd like to say that what I'm really hoping to do at some point is initiate and/or get into some slightly more, shall we say, nuanced discussions on this fab site - a fab site, which, as it just happens I've only been reading for a while now - this as a means of better understanding the whole I/P mess, with a view to (and in the hope of) affecting some real change over time.
I only tend to use anti-Semitic in an ironic sense these days, because the word is essentially meaningless.
Zionist dumbkoffs like that Beinart tart would probably like everyone to believe that discrimination against Jews is just so darned special that a very special word had to be invented to express this very special discrimination. And yet that very special word that had to be invented ended up bearing no meaningful relation to the concept of Jew, whilst simultaneously and conveniently linking the concept of Jew with that of Semitic", with the tacit implication being that ALL Jews are somehow inherently linked to the Levant and that to claim otherwise is to somehow discriminate against all Jews; I utterly reject the current meaning that's been attributed to the word anti-Semitic (as meaningless Zionist induced propaganda).
So, in a nutshell:
abuse of Jews = Judeophobia
anti-Semitism = obfuscation/an abuse of the English Language for propaganda purposes (instigated by Zionists).
Omar, I think you'll find that the only "minds" those brutal warriors of Zion believe they'll ever need to "colonize" are the ones belonging to high ranking members of the American government - oh, and key people working in the American MSM, and the American Jewry.
Can anti-Semite Lieberman be considered to be a democratic threat, even when Israel isn't a democracy?
Just War? Jewish Democracy? Liberal Zionist? Holistic Torture? Kindly Apartheid? Carbon Neutral Genocide? What a steaming crock.
Chu, Joe Six Pack needs to give a shit first, or he'll just change channels. People don't, people won't, achieve a high level of comprehension in something they're not emotionally invested in. Ever.
Propaganda works like a charm when it's used against people who have no emotional need to question it, or to verify its truthfulness, assumming (and this is the crux) said people are tuned into the propaganda in the first place; propaganda provides little more than background noise for many in the West - it becomes little more than TV advertising, which can easily be tuned out (to variable degrees, depending on the circumstances).
So, cutting to the chase, if there's going to be any significant traction on the I/P issue, then the average American on the street (or wherever!) will need to start actually caring about the I/P situation. To the average American, I/P is perceived as being like something akin to a boring and ancient TV drama - a boring and too often repeated TV drama, which seems to be in perpetual syndication, and is only ever broadcast in black & white. I/P. Boring. Change the channel.
For those of you who've yet to tune me out, and are instead choosing to keep reading this drivel, I have some questions I'd like to ask you:
When Seth MacFarlane, of Family Guy fame, sanctioned this brutally hilarious moment in a former episode of the show: link to youtube.com, was it Zionist fervor that motivated him, or boring old ignorance?: link to youtube.com
Should it be a particular point of concern that too many American creative types working in the msm today, rather than simply having any kind of agenda regarding I/P, simply don't know very much about I/P, and don't particularly care about educating themselves about I/P, and should American creative types like (Sexy) Seth MacFarlane be targeted in a focused campaign of some kind?: link to youtube.com
How much more of a better job could you do, to make key people care enough so that they'll want to better educate themselves on the whole I/P thing, than this?: link to youtube.com
Finally, for any physicists reading this: if Israel is simply left to self-implode, how long will it take for the self-implosion process to complete, and (roughly) what percentage of the observable Universe can we expect to be written off as "collateral damage"?
If Saudi Arabia was run by psychologically damaged white people, and had better PR, it would be virtually indistinguishable from that shining beacon of (white) light we now term Israel.
hophmi says:
ROFLOLOLOLOL. Sounds just like Israeli "Democracy" (i.e. sounds fantastic on paper; more than a little bit rubbish in practice) .
Please try to be just a tiny bit more understanding, hophmi; it's unfair to blame the Islamofundies for their uncouthness - not every wannabe ideologue has been fortunate enough to receive the benefit of a great Israeli education.
Seriously jaynot, you should know by now that there isn't a single ardent Zionist worthy of his falafels who would EVER direct a barbed comment towards another of G-d's chosen people! Such armor piercing reprimands are reserved solely for goys, pesky "Palestinians", and (if you happen to be ardent, Jewish, Zionist and Israeli) American and Ethiopian Jews.
No, what probably happened was that one of the student Zionists from the union got a little too emotional while thinking about the fatherland, which then caused them to start referring to it as Auntie Israel, and then some unfortunate miscommunication occurred.
