The War of Ideas in the Middle East
They're struggling against REAL antisemitism.
And OJ is searching for the real killers.
There's no point in arguing with people who draw comparisons between America and Afghanistan. All you can Sonia suggest they do done traveling.
Hey, if it's working for you, go with it.
I think Alvarion and Tower Semi might be good places to start.
I explained already that I served in the IDF in 2006, although I technically was not in infantry, I returned fire after an ambush. I also wrote that your demands for remorse (shoot and cry?) were laughable given the scorn you pour on those who do.
Oh, and I explained to Mooser that Rio isn't in Argentina.
I'm still really from your brilliant financial predictions, seafood.
You guys really ought to come visit sometime.
Wikileaks revealed that nearly the whole world agreed that Cast Lead was justified. Dud you guys read wikileaks, or is that Zionist propaganda too?
You and Taxi just can't stop bringing up Nazis!
Jeez Taxi, can you stop whining about the Hooocaust for ten seconds?
Oh Chaos, you're such a buzz-kill! Why not STFU and stop telling gays what to enjoy?
Attacked by Zionists!? Golly we ARE mean! Was this before or after the grenade attack on the bus in Lifta? After? Hmmm. Somehow it's not retaliation when Zionists do it, since we are not permitted to protect ourselves.
In any case, that does not look like Lifta to me--too neat.
I started my military service in 2005. In 2006 I served in Lebanon. I returned fire once after an ambush, although I had no chance of hitting anyone I realize now. I was not in an infantry unit even, or anything of the sort.
From Argentina, I moved to Israel. I thought you guys knew that all the Jews were interlopers in Palestinian land?
Rio is not in Argentina, Moose. I said I was from Buenos Aires. One can be from a place and live in another pace, Moose. You really oughta get a passport.
You were hoping for "shoot and cry"?? I didn't no you were into that!
For the record moose, I do live in Israel. In Givatayim. And I never killed any Palestinians. I only shot at one Arab, and I
missed.
Thanks Mooser for the "you suck too."
Crickets.
I'm trying to find a single contribution by Annie that doesn't amount to "you (Jews) suck." At least I use all 4!
Jesus, Annie.
I wonder if you've ever thought about what those 4 categories mean? They are simply basic principles of argument. Positive point, negative point, ad hominem, and appeal to comparisons. I don't think you can make an argument without it. Basic principles, my moose. Give it a try.
For a second I thought you wrote "openly gay gazans"! There are none.

Talk about divert alert!!!!
I'm trying to follow you here. Is the fact of Israel's tolerance for gays negated, in your mind, by the existence of the Old Testament? Unlike in Muslim countries, scriptures don't make sexual minority rights law in Israel.
Israel is one of the most gay-friendly nations in the world. If you had to list the 10 worst places for gays, they'd all be Muslim countries. Gays are tortured and murdered by Hamas and, it seems, the PA. What you call "pinkwashing" is simply a reflection if reality. That fact that you wish it otherwise changes nothing.
No, people stopped listening to it 20 years ago, but its still going. Infighting its way into oblivion.
I'd get on that Phil. WBAI (progressive radio for those nearing retirement age) is nearing collapse and bankruptcy over its failure to send out its t shirt, coffee mug, and 9/11 conspiracy theory premiums.
Ernst Nolte actually said a lot of things like that. I believe he called the Allied bombing campaign "comparable" to the Holocaust. Sometimes it pays to interrogate people's motives.
Nice trick. Anything a Pali tells you is inherently credible, and anything an Israeli says is, a priori, a lie.
That, Pamsters, is the definition of blood libel!
Not sinister, just tone deaf to history. But, we already knew that.
Phil said a Jewish Lobby stabbed Barry in the back. Savez vous?
"Stab-in-the-back" Phil? Maybe you oughta google "Dolchstuss legend" before you say things like that.
I care just as much about them as you do, Chaos.
And not one bit more.
I'm sure you're correct Annie. We should wait and see if it's true. Israeli planes flown by fat bankers with hooked noses. There's your livestreaming Arabic.
"I'll never forgive the Germans for failing to kill the Borscht Belt."
Good to hear, Phil. It's good to be the king!
Meanwhile, is this offensive?
I’m so goddamn sick of you patting your murderous college bud traitors on the back for shooting children and elderly people and claiming there were invisible militants behind them, yonira.
"I’d like to think some day someone will drop a bomb on a hospital when you have family there and claim it was a legitimate military target that was hiding militants, but the rest of the world isn’t as barbaric as you and your ilk. So that will probably never happen to you."
I'm not sure that's an answer.
Why are you so obsessed with Jews, annie?
That says it all--thanks eee.
Yes, you would. That doesn't change history.
I know you can't read Hebrew, Phil, but it's the Jewish language--the one every Jew has studied for the past 2,000 years. It don't come from Uganda.
Any time a Jew (or, in the case of those stories above, someone who might be mistaken as a Jew) does something bad, it's an indictment of the whole society.
I wonder how Phil would feel about a website that specifically pointed out all the crimes committed by African Americans?
I can't get over the least relevant part of this story--the bike helmet! That's a bike helmet in 1976! Where in the world did you get one?
Lara Logan.
I remember reading it--thanks for the reminder. In truth though, would you, as a citizen of Israel, find his statement threatening?
A German language website? I suppose a lot of what you guys say sounds better in the original German.
The site you linked makes a big deal about others getting words wrong--and they headline it is thusly:
"Does Iran's Predident deny the Holocaust?"
forgive me for not reading any further.
Jose--It's pronunced "Yossi," cabbie. And it's in the Bible.
Always will be? Wow, and here I though it was the actions of those meany Jooooos that everyone disliked. But you, Taxi, are telling me that it will always be this way?
Oh No!
I am gonna have to totally rethink my worldview! I thought if only Israel stopped settlements and returned to 1967 borders . . .darn!
Better get a whole mess a nukes to use on Israel's enemies.
Oh--check.
Why not? I've got as much historical right to your house as the Egyptians have to Jerusalem.
I wonder if Annie would feel the same if we suggested liberating her home. . .
"The Egyptians are welcome to try, but not to complain about the results."
That was the first comment on this thread, and it really does sum it up. If the
People in Tahrir Square really want millions of dead Arabs, Israel can oblige.
You need to get out more.
That. Or an echo in a very small chamber.
I like the part about millions of martyrs . . .
I thought "your case" was that it was a crappy .22 made in 1970? Not the most iconic war rifle of all time. Maybe it's the Oklahoma in me too, but I can't imagine making mistake like that.
I agree that firebombing cities and starving hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war is what really defeated Germany.
But it's a great weapon, and I'd be hard-pressed to think of one I'd rather have. Maybe a Yugoslav SKS. It all depends how many people you want to shoot.
M1 Garand. I'd like to see Pamela try to shoot a can with one.
It's called an M1, Pamela, it's the weapon that defeated Nazi Germany. Anyone who really knows guns would be delighted to have that one. One shot, one kill.
Don't confuse us. The purpose of this blog is to embarrass Jews that Phil disagrees with!
Wow you just liked to a great blog. An actual young Jew ( not a sixty year old claiming "youth") telling the truth about Israel--the beautiful, complicated, depressing/inspiring truth.
Are you feeling OK Phil?
That's going to come as a big surprise to Ahmadinejad!
Whatever you say guys. His book on the history of money is brilliant.
I know this crowd has withdrawn their support for Morris, but he is an Arabic speaker, and may be on to something. Is it your contention that your disagreement with the conclusions drawn from his historical scholarship makes it impossible for him to be correct?
There is something funny here, but the humor isn't making it into my not perfect English, I think. I had to look up the word naches--very good word, yet still to close to nachos.
I didn't suggest in any way that I'm speaking for anyone other than myself and my own experiences( I am Jewish, and Argentinian, my fathers family came from Algeria). And I admitted that we porteños are not as plugged in as you yanquis!
Seems to have struck a nerve, in any event. I thought the book was overrated in general, but a lot of its parody of "asajews" (that is, people who proclaim "as a Jew I am outraged") was knowing and clever. The humor, on the other hand, was mostly trite and occasionally awful.
And it's not made up characters, anyone familiar with British intellectual life will be able to see it as a roman a clef. Everyone from Jacqueline Rose to Stephen Fry is there. Not, sadly, our own Phil, however.
I live in Buenos Aires, which is, admittedly, not on the cutting edge of anything.
It won the Man Booker Prize, so not just positive reviews in the states.
"Young Jews are on the river right now. We have the same choice."
No disrespect intended, Phil, but do you consider yourself "young"? I'm 27, and it seems that most of the "oy vey Israel is so bad!" crowd are middle aged liberals. Have you read "The Finkler Question"?
It's true there are many young people alienated from Judaism and Israel, but most "young" Jews I know are significantly more religious than their parents.
are you saying there's no truth to his self-description as a "killer"? Or do you just instinctively doubt photographic evidence? Like this piece, for example. . .
