Did you send your pledge to the Saudi Arabia anti-sematic telethon?
So is Adam Shapiro. He's with the International Solidarity Movement, and loves Yasser Arafat so much he spent the night with Yasser in Ramallah and even ate breakfast with him.
Your point?
In your case yes. You are on the side of Jihad. I've seen your comments here for years.
Care to lay out the causation chain for me?
Why bother? Why waste my time? You are a hard case.
Guess you got a nose for that sort of thang.
My advice to you boy is to take out that butt plug.
A brain should be grey... not brown.
He's with the International Solidarity Movement, and loves Yasser Arafat so much he spent the night with Yasser in Ramallah and even ate breakfast with him Adam Shapiro works for the Mossad (Israel's CIA).
He was recruited because his "leftist views" would get him inside Arafat's compound. He has succeeded.
One of these days he may be killed by the Palestinians, then the whole story will be told.
There were "Jews" like her in Germany, who helped the Nazis.
Anyway, about Ted Koppel (ABCNews web bio is source):
A native of Lancashire, England, Koppel moved to the United States with his parents when he was 13 years old. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Syracuse University and an M.A. in mass communications research and political science from Stanford.About his daughter Andrea (CNN web bio):He is married to the former Grace Anne Dorney of New York City. They reside in Maryland and have four children.
Andrea Koppel is a State Department correspondent for CNN. Prior to this assignment, Koppel was the network's Beijing bureau chief, where she played a key role in CNN's coverage of China, North and South Korea and Great Britain's hand over of Hong Kong to China, as well as the 1995 United Nations Conference on Women.About being Koppel's Jewishishness (interview at source AARP site):Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Koppel earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Middlebury College, with a concentration in Chinese language and Asian studies.
MM: Hosting Nightline requires you to be well-versed in many areas. Did being partially educated in Britain help at all?I'm not sure what a "civil ceremony" is when it is conducted by a "our reverend", but there it is clear in Ted's Mind. Ted who is of the jewish, secular, british, unitarian, catholic, and questionable faith, whatever.TK: I got a solid education at a boarding school called Abbotsholme. When I was 12, I was taking English history, world history, geography, algebra, French, Latin, and English. But it was a very grim, Victorian place. The windows were kept open, winter and summer. We could take only foot baths, in about six inches of water, and I have no memory of warm water. It was as cold as a well-digger’s posterior.
MM: It also must have been difficult growing up there as the son of German-Jewish refugees during World War II.
TK: I was born in England, so I thought I was British. But I got beaten up badly by a bunch of kids who took umbrage at the fact that my parents were German and we were Jewish. The beating led to a stuttering problem.
MM: When did you immigrate to America?
TK: When I was 13. At Syracuse I became chief announcer at the college radio station. Just before my senior year, I went to Moscow and did a story about Richard Nixon’s "kitchen debate" with Nikita Khrushchev.
MM: Four weddings?
TK: She’s Catholic, I’m Jewish. Our parents told us, "Be careful about inter-religious marriage." So we eloped and had a civil ceremony. We timed it so our parents would be away, but one day we came back and my mother was holding a letter as though she had a dead mouse by the tail. She said, "What is this?" She had opened a letter addressed to Mr. and Mrs. E. Koppel. My father’s name was Edwin and mine is Edward, but as far as my mother knew there was only one Mr. and Mrs. E. Koppel. It was a letter from our reverend expressing his gratitude for our check and his sadness at the fact that neither of our parents had been present at the wedding.
After that, we decided we needed a religious ceremony for the families and compromised on the Unitarian Church. But that still meant we weren’t married in the Catholic Church’s eyes. So in 1969 we had a wonderful wedding in the missionary diocese in Hong Kong. That is the anniversary we celebrate.
Then, on the occasion of my youngest daughter’s graduation from Duke in 1993, the kids and I planned a surprise wedding–a rededication of our vows–in the rose garden there.
BTW that makes his daughter non-jewish.
No.
If you truely want the "causation chain" laid out for you, use a little initiative and search the FR archives. You will find it spelled out many, many , many times over.
Many of those explanations will have the likes of cake_crum and dennisvw under them. Most of us are tired of repeating ourselves as morons like you make thinly veiled attempts at side-tracking the issues with inane questions, the answers to which are totally obvious to rational thinking individuals.
Why do you people aske the same questions EVERY DAY? Short term memory problems?
Ah, another of our white supremecist friends. Idiot. I don't bash the Palestinians, therefore I am not a "Palestinian basher" or "anti-Palestinian." I DO, however, bash mad dictators like Yasser on a regular basis, as well his policy of brainwashing little kids to murder innocent people. I am therefore a Yasser-basher, and proud of it. When I bash bin-opium-Laden, I'm a bin Laden basher.
Quit propagandizing. If you're not a Muslim of Arab descent, you're a target, just like the rest of us. You people just don't have the brains to see that your Pavlovian responses to any positive mention of Israel make you the unwitting tools of the likes of Yasser and the LOVELY guys who committed mass murder by plane on 9-11.
That should make you proud.
I inquired as to what was wrong with bashing Israel. You asked what was wrong with supporting terrorism. Either you were relating criticism of Israel with supporting terrorism, or you've come down with a IQ-numbing case of non sequitur.
Which is it? If it's the latter, my sympathies. If it's the former, lay out the causitive relationship between the two. 
Thanks for the rare lucid response. But I can't find any explanation for the presumption that criticising Israel equals support for terrorism in it.
Well, now, I take back what I said about lucid responses.
Kind of like abiogenesis, you mean?
You can't, you mean, without sounding silly, or so blatantly, reactively partisan that you endanger your credibility?
One tends to ask the same questions when one gets emotional reactions instead of rational answers. Like yours, a politicians response, calculated to deflect and avoid. Do you have any clear idea of the relationship? If so, let's hear it.
