Believe me, I don't like to see the RepublicRats floundering. My sole porpoise is to shed a ray of enlightment on Bushbots everywhere, just for the halibut.
They're playing you like a fiddle, boy.
Today, near Farragut North Metro station in downtown DC, there were two clean-cut, white, suburbanite kids holding a sign pointing out how many Palestinian civilians have been killed with US taxpayers' money. Yes, the PR battle is indeed turning. Even liberal media - ABC morning news today ran two long pieces sympathetic to Palestinians and portraying Israeli soldiers as trigger-happy and brutal.
My question is, why aren't American Jews supporting Israel? Why aren't Spielberg and Streisand and Seinfeld and other celebrities going to Israel and eating out at a restaurant or going to a cafe? Why aren't young American Jews going back to Israel to fight, like the socialists did in the 1930's in Spain? Why are the Jewish-influenced media not cranking up the propaganda machine?
Methinks that Jews have seen the writing on the wall and know that Israel isn't going to survive much longer.
Even if the Muslims attacked nobody but Jews, the vast majority of "counter-hate crimes" would be carried out by non-Jews. Good ol' boys protect the liberal yuppies by threatening to git medieval on random Muslims.
Xem, that's the difference between emasculated cultures, like the Europeans', and ours: American men, best in the world.
Only a "minority" of the U.S. population does what you have just described.
Too busy on FR defending Rahm Emmanuel, defending the ADL, defending Lazar Moisseïevitch Kaganovitch, defending the teachers unions and defending Bernard Schwartz?
(yes, I have seen defenses of all the above recently. This forum is not what it was 6 months ago)
Amazing itself it? All out of proportion. I would like to see a break down by religion of donations to the DNC. Bet the numbers are staggering.
Spoil sport. Next thing, you'll be telling us that sharks still swim the seas between the US and Africa, hoping for more of the 650 million slaves pushed overboard.(n.b.: I'm not minimizing what happened to the Indians or the Africans. It was terrible. But exaggeration diminishes the truth, which you well recognize!)
We have had pipe bomb assasinations of Muslim moderates in the US by a group called al-Fuqra, related to a bigger terror group out of Pakistan. There was an American journalist investigating terrorism in America who was threatened with a fatwa, etc., but nothing could be done because the US really didn't want to admit it had a problem. The Us offered the guy an opening in the Witness Protection if he was willing to change identity, but told the guy he could just quit investigating the terrorists and the fatwas might go away. An airliner goes into the drink after Islamic groups threatened to take down an airliner during the Olympics in Atlanta, and the US treats it like an isolated incident... it doesn't look too accidental and the Arab-American supporters initiate and spread some conspiracy theories about it being shot down by the USN.
The phillippines expose a plot which sounds remarkably similar to those of 9/11. OK City, a center for Islamic terrorist meetings and groups becomes the victim of a "right wing" bomber who "didn't have Iraqi links"- or did he? And the US is thickly infiltrated by Islamic radical groups who use out liberties to fund murder overseas and here at home, and to propagandize shrilly about the Jooos and the Great Satan itself, and to link with American aryan hate groups over US ME policy.
This sort of thing has been happening for YEARS with little if any response from the US. If anything, investigation into American Islamic terrorist groups was sharply curtailed by the Clinton Administration, all the while the US energy department and other parts of the US government were funding internet access, Anti-American newspapers (yes, we pay for those PA newspapers, folks!), cell phone projects and electricity projects in palestinian territory so that they could better conduct terrorism. Wecalled it "humanitarian aid." The US probably BOUGHT Arafat and Hamas and all their other terrorist buddies those cell phones and computers they use to coordinate attacks and to defame the US in the press.
And now the world calls anti-terrorists "terrorists and occupiers" but won't call a terrorist a terrorist because the world still has a fantasy that a terrorist won't behave like a terrorist if we all pretend he is not a terrorist so as to not hurt not-quite-a-terrorist feelings and cause them to do more not-quite-terrosistic acts. We will treat the biggest not-quite-a-terrorist like he is merely a distinguished diplomat of a "not-quite-a-terrorist" terrorist-like fantasyland full of other people we will pretend are not-quite-supporters of terrorists because if we admitted they were terrorists and terrorist supporters we would have to admit we are willing to negotiate with terrorists and would have to admit that the line about supporting a terrorist making you a terrorist was really not meant to appley to people who are terrorists. So we must continue to tell lourselves they are not terrorists but are merely "armed, unusually persistant late term abortionists" and "practitioners of involuntary euthenasia" who need a place where they can freely conduct "involuntary euthenasia" against both people they will call citizens and people who have the good fortune of cashing in on the deal while eating pizza and minding their own business. The not-quite-terrorists need a safe haven from which they can manage their "late term abortion services" to the Israelis and where unappreciative customers cannot send any of those dreaded Israeli "complaint letters." We know the not-quite-terrorists occasionally make human meat by-products for fun and profit but never because it is the nature of terrorists to blow up other people. Why? Because terrorists would never create such a separatist state where they could harbor and nurture more not-quite-terrorists and where they could abuse and brainwash more people like themselves to "generously give of themselves" and "distribute free nails and scrap metal" to ungrateful Israelis. Would they?
Whew. Now, does anyone remember if bin Laden was a not-quite-a-terrorist or if he was just a terrorist? Was he a not-quite-a-terrorist and Americans are just not appreciative of his efforts to deal with population control in the US with free, unusually late late-term abortion services and unusually early euthanasia programs? Or was he a terrorist because he was not an Arab palestinian but merely an Arab non-palestinian? Can palestinian leaders be terrorists or do they haves some sort of in-built resistance to being terrorists when they behave like them in every way? Does the Saudi bin Laden have such a resistance and it wore off, or, do non-palestinians have such resistance at all? Was bin Laden a terrorist because his targets were American business people but not just people attending a bat Mitzvah? What is a terrorist? I'm not so sure anymore.
Since you're unclear on the history, let me remind you that Israel won Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank" and the Golan Heights during the 1967 war. Who started that war?
.
.

That's right. The nations surrounding Israel, full of Palestinians. That land is therefore Israeli, won in defensive battle. That the Israelis would have surrendered sovereignity, for a lasting peace, over that land to the Palestinians shows their magnamity.
