Bwahaha. Israel's resolve has never been better as it is today. As for the dreamed glory of conscience objectors, one needs a serious dose of stupidity and imagination to trust one of these PC ba$tards who only exist because they receive the tribal political support of those behind their fantasies of symbols.

Very one-sided account from you. You omit the part where 800,000 Jews were cleansed and driven from Arab nations. Their homes, businesses, bank accounts were left behind for the most part. IOW these Jews were driven from their homes by the Arabs. This happened after 1948. 

Most of these Jews settled in Israel. Just another reshuffling of populations for the Middle East. No one cares about these refugees because they moved on with their lives. Israel and the Jewish world helped them resettle and get back on their feet. Just contrast this with the way the Arabs have done little good for the Palestinians. Now we learn that through the UN, the US taxpayers pay the lion's share for the refugee camps where these Palestinians are kept. The UN administers and supports these camps. I don't know how big the UN handouts/welfare are for the denizens of these refugee camps. Would be interesting to know.

Where does UNRWA's money come from? How is UNRWA financed?

Most funding comes from voluntary contributions of donor states. UNRWA's largest donors are the United States, European Commission, the U.K and Sweden. Other major donors include the Gulf Arab States, Scandinavian countries, Japan and Canada. A small portion comes from non-governmental organizations and concerned individuals. The United Nations Secretariat finances 98 international staff posts from its regular budget and UNESCO and WHO provide assistance in the staffing of the education and health programmes.

Who are UNRWA's biggest donors?

Traditionally, the USA has been the largest donor, followed by the European Commission. However, in terms of donations relative to population size and GDP per capita, the Scandinavian countries, Canada and the Netherlands top the list.

Sorry, liberals don't support human rights, you've bought the spin. Here's the the truth. Case in point--Amnesty international--all kinds of condemnation of their fantasies of what was going on at Guantanamo, yet when the Taliban captured a US soldier they immediately executed him not a peep was heard from Amnesty.

Heck look at who liberals "civil rights" leaders are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton. Are they libertarians on rights, bwahahaha oh palllease!

And BTW it was already covered, if your goal is more human rights, you certainly will not reach it by carving out a piece of a democratic state to turn it into another Islamofascist one in the Middleast.

And let's look at who else you are siding with shall we?

Why are you so worried about whose I am "siding" with. Isn't it enough to review the facts and formulate an opinion? Now, I must worry about whose "side" I am on?

And you are on the side of those who rejoiced when Americans were murdered.

I am going to assume that you are against "affirmative action," right? So, you do realize that makes you on the same "side" as the people who drag blacks by ropes behind their pickup trucks. You knew that right? You are on the side of the KKK. They sure do appreciate your support!!!

Give it up. By insisting on these "sides," you are feeding and nurturing Political Correctness. Just because your version of what is correct is not Leftist in nature does not mean that your attempts to enforce the "correct" viewpoint about Israel are any less race-baiting.

I could care less what loyalties are "expected" of me in order that I conform to the wishes of some Alpha Dog pack mentality. You see, I use my MIND, not my NOSE, to find out what is "correct." I don't need to sniff yours or anyone's to know whose "side" I am on.

But anyways, more important things have come up, like the discovery of Chandra's bones. Let's hope that justice is served.

The people you are talking about would not be against racial preferences, just racial preferences that are not for their race. So it really doesn't put me on their side at all. On the other hand IT DOES put me on the side of every civil rights group, workers, et al prior to 1964, who just wanted an equal shot regardless of color. It also makes me on the side of practically every mainstream conservative.

SO, sorry, your analagy has failed miserably.

Bullshit. you can't find a post where I've said that one must share my viewpoint in order not to be a racist. I believe that to be on the side of Israel is the morally and logically correct choice based on the facts. It's called persuasive argument, if you can't deal with it, why would you even bother coming here at all.

You see, I use my MIND, not my NOSE, to find out what is "correct."

while one's nose shouldn't make ones decision it should be used as a guide for when one's mind possibly hasn't thought it through.

I know if I disagreed with MOST conservatives on a subject and instead agreed with terrorists, arab nutballs, commie marxist leftists, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton among others, I would damn well re-examine my viewpoint.

But as far as the nose OR the mind goes. So far you haven't used either. Or you would have come up with the logical and morally correct conclusion. It matters not what your motive is, whether you hate Jews, or are just a misguided fool. Either way still have it all wrong.
