The War of Ideas in the Middle East
There's only ever been one state. At present, there is no state, since the Jewish Colony hasn't stopped expanding.
I really don't think terror is much a problem for the State dept. No amount of terror will ever bring down the Imperial Colossus. Now, independance and socialism, that's a different story. And by socialism, I mean the kind that grows from the ground up. Those are definite threats.
name one
"Would you also argue that Palestinians who blow up civilians are ‘not so different’ than those who do not?"
You do. They're crushed beneath Zion whether they blow up civilians or not.
FP has no repute. Anybody who reads and believes it is an ass.
You have to respect people who riot in the street, whatever it is they cry for. Rioting in the street can be dangerous to your health and not to be sneered at.
There is no war against Muslims. Only bad Muslims; ie, red/green ones.
I find myself in the embarrassing position of agreeing w/tokybk. It's silly to judge the past by our own standards. Styles change. Look at some of those old pictures the monks painted of knights storming castles. Not a drop of blood to be seen. But we all know what went on.
"half my mouth taped up" lol, what is the sound of one lip flapping?
Anyhoo, how do you know the invigilators aren't censoring us anti-zios? Rhetorical question: you don't know. I can affirm some of my own insightful rejoinders to you vacuous hasbarats have never made it passed this desktop.
"metal shrapnel", so unlike Israeli ordnance which doesn't even hurt. The dead float away to their just rewards with nary a whimper.
Which reminds me: other nations in the area are generously establishing camps for refugees from the fighting. Except for one notable exception.
Oh Izik, you're such a card. Gassing en masse is so 1940's. Today the preferred method of eliminating the inconvenient is to slowly turn the screws, and when the victim strikes back, you shoot him, accidently of course.
no one's getting it...it's a vast anti-jew conspiracy, innit?
...also, why haven't these stalwarts taken on the Saudis, who make the Baathists look like altar boys. Or hell, "The Jews(tm)" for that matter; don't the "rebels" claim to be anti-Israel?
I didn't read all the above bloviation, so, in case no one has pointed it out: Why on earth would Assad, who's backed into a corner, with images of Ghaddafi's end going through his mind, a hairsbreadth away from being assassinated, the imminent destruction of all he is and owns, why would he consent to a massacre he couldn't possibly coverup, given the plethora of satellites, drones, cell phones, text messages, spies, journalists etc. Forget all you may have read or heard or guessed at, and think on this one truth: the pigeon does not thrash the hawk. It just doesn't happen.
lol, funny cuz it's true.
If they want to serve their country, they should serve in the US military?
Better: If they want to protect a narrow strata of US elites they should serve in the US military.
Unless the blown-to-pieces are Jews. Oh, then the wails go up! The Precious.
— a term the government uses for rebel fighters —
Nah, these are rebels:

you mean the flag
Goyim allowed pray!? Absolutely not. But they can mill about and think of the sea.
Wow! Our little mondo going mano a mano with your top lizards. Way2go Phil!
"It is like blaming Harvard or HKUST for every bad action every one of their alumni make." Because Harvard grads regularly murder peons then dis-embowel them so they'll sink when tossed into the river.
Dear Mr. Invigilator: why are my considerate, thoughtful, helpful posts scrubbed and the excrescences of these arm chair hoplites allowed into the bloglight?
80 thou at one go? Where does that come from? That's a lot of corpses to dispose of on a sticky summer's afternoon in Rome.
Curses on this unfollowable tree!
Groucho Marx AKA Jewish culture, which died on the boat to Israel.
shitty comedy IS a crime.
Theme park! Precisely! I stopped reading there and came down here to write this. So true. It's like an annex for Disneyworld: Jewdoland? Or like a yiddische Knots Berry Farm. So gratifiying for a complete stranger to express your exact perceptions of the "Jewish" State. It means people are looking at the evidence and drawing the same conclusion. QED.
Zionism is a reactionary process.
How build a state? Based on intimidation and terror; even Israelis admit it. At one time that may have been the style(cf The Normans), but not anymore. Sorry Jews, that ship sailed long ago. Oh, and that's not even the kicker. This state is to be called a "Jewish State" into the bargain? But nobody knows what that is.
Danger? Not likely. The "realist" strain of Zionist apologetics contains great dollops of justification for just about anything. Terror? Meh, everybody does it and, besides, um, Holocaust!.
Whoa! Tough crowd.
And then what? Two states, I hear you say. But Israel would never allow another state on it's borders with an equivalent Wehrmacht, even though that would be the start point of any negotiations, and eminently fair. So, one state armed and one not? No, that's what we have now, more or less. Aha! Two, disarmed "states". Well, hell, might as well have one state then. Which is sensible, when you think about it, since there's only ONE place to put your damn state!
Strange. Others, when they hear whistles, think, "incoming artillery!" I guess they just don't have your imagination.
So, they're just waiting around for the "observable-reality express" to crush them? Got it.
Oh, and for future reference: just because a man is playing a guitar, doesn't mean he's making music.
This is what the Indian people are up against. Only the Naxalites and a few others are actually doing anything about it.

"Marxism crumbled under the weight of observable reality."
yeah, and the trillions of dollars and tons of ordinance expended by the "Free World" had nothing to do with it.
Whom do the Naxalites kill? The cruel landlords and the police who do their bidding? They require killing.
"Not all Palestinians are terrorists..." Very true. But as soon as they get shot they magically become terrorists.
What's wrong with hating Israel? Who doesn't hate the plague, or cancer? It's hateful. Duh.
In fact they were shot when they didn't throw anything, Freddyboy.
It means the Kristofs would be obliged to make an honest living.
This is why people like OlegR should get the heave-ho. He makes a big pretense of being open-minded, thrusting and parrying with one specious argument or another, but when called to account for his opinions in a credible way he just clams up and pops up somewhere else as if nothing has happened.
Jews used to claim they would never buy a German car. Mort Sahl even joked, The reason the Germans put their VW engine in the back was to protect it in case of a crash.
@Annie Jew vs Jewish? I think the discrepancy arises because the single syllable "Jew" sounds rather abrupt to Western ears. It's too familiar. Like hey you, Jew. It's promiscuous; Jew rhymes with thousands of words. But "Jewish" is more redolent of delicate things, tasty things, soft, comfy things. That's my theory.
Retreating to the bosom of one's tribe betrays a lack of imagination, an unwillingness to face up to a changing world.
"the embargo has helped castro" nu-uh, mister freedom. Castro is agin it!
Where would you prefer to live, Cuba or Haiti(where freedom reigns!)?
You see, atime for cheap sentiment, there's this thing called the internet? Perhaps you've heard of it. Check it out before it's too late.

"... well just open the floodgates and there would be an exodus of biblical proportions." Can't beat the 'ol subjunctive, eh?
"the oppression and the stasi like police state cubans have endured is a story of its own and will be told some day" Ah come on, tell me now.
"...and stop the adulation of Castro." But you just called him a "world class champ". Can you name another? Yeah, I'll "adulate" that.
The only thing that makes any sense is that this is some kind of elaborate kabuki theatre. The Republicans blustering about a war that's less and less likely(does anybody really think they have a chance in the next election?),Obama looking like a hero for standing up to AIPAC whom nobody has a good word for.
Meanwhile the "Jewish State" scoops up more of what is not their's to take, and the "international community" is focused elsewhere.
Israel is the "bad guy" in a wrestling match: fighting dirty when the ref's not looking but the audience is.
Haha! The 'good luck' picture of The Greedy Jew. Has this anything to do with the love of gold-leafed icons and the like? Here anti-semitism is expressed in sadistic jokes featuring soap or big noses.
anybody else feel a chill?
Nobody wants two states, not really. Except for the delusional. Imagine a border between these "two states": with each side bound and determined to have as many Stukas and Panzers as the other. Not to mention divvying up the natural resources each side will share. Israel wants it all and is not going to part with any of it, no matter what The Nice Man of TV says. Abbas, Obama, whoever, they could crawl up the steps of the Knesset on their tongues for all the good it would do.
Never mind Ghandi, where is our Tacitus?
google blood atzmon matzo. Expect to wade through a lot of Dersho-trash and ambiguous wiki entries.

He "wondered out loud" in school as a teenager. Somewhat different than what you have implied.
Went out on the web to dig up dirt on Atzmon. Found this:
"An antisemite used to be someone who hates Jews; nowadays an antisemite is someone Jews hate." link to guardian.co.uk
Brilliant!
Huh? You mean the interview when Henry K was flogging his book? Did we see the same thing? Colbert slobbered all over the ghoul. Kissinger's face didn't fall; it brightened when asked about Mao and he seized the opportunity to don his halo and slam the brutal Helmsman for doing terrible things "to his own people".
Ms. Warren takes on Wall St. Kabuki at its finest.
This is no argument. Who cares what Merkins have to pay to feed their cars? If the price doesn't rise, that's ok, then? And the Pirates of the Mediterranean? If they return safe bearing plunder, that's fine?
To hell with free speech! A privileged sect that's manuevering my country into a pointless war needs to be stopped. With extreme prejudice.
"What about those people who are trying to educate themselves..."
Ooh, I know! Shoot them is the face at close range with a tear gas canister.
Not too impressed with these anti-war vets. They weren't so anti-war when it came to getting their college stipend or seed money for a landscaping firm paid for in the blood of inoffensive foreigners.
"wonderful comment". Yes, wonderful. And anodyne.
Not a bully doesn't see himself the victim.
"I feel Jewish." On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most Jewish you could ever feel without your precious jewdihood spilling from every orifice, how Jewish do you figure you're feeling right now?
Does the PLO charter prevent Jews from joining? Of course, if one should, it's likely he'd be whisked away by the Israeli Schutzstaffel, or worse.
