How do you type with a straight jacket on?

He must use 'via voice' software.

I simply wanted him to give me one single reason why we could ever think the Palestinian Arabs would ever deal in good faith. All I heard were crickets, of course.

Actually, it was not crickets, his replies were more like the sounds of roaches.

A recap if you will:

get out.

Traitor.

Up yours.

bring it on..

Thanks, dad.

you are a slut.

You deserve more

Definitely roaches !!

ROFL...great synopsis of his remarks!

Thanks for that link; it was great! Always good to see the good fruit of what is happening in America!

Might as well post it here:


Thanks, America
We needed your patriotism.

By Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

Thank you, America. As an Israeli, I want you to know what I appreciate about you most at this time.

I don't mean only the foreign-aid packages, joint projects, or military supplies. Nor do I even mean the timely vetoes in the United Nations Security Council or walking out of the Durban Conference on Racism, when it ceased to be "on Racism" and became "for Racism against the Jews." I don't mean the U.S.A. taking an Israeli astronaut into outer space on a NASA flight. In fact, I don't mean only that which involves U.S. government institutions.

I don't mean merely the private American ventures, either, like McDonald's or Microsoft. I don't mean the exporting, slowly, of your fantastic customer service-oriented business culture. I don't even mean the many private investments in Israeli firms and technologies. I don't mean the idea of do-it-yourself stores or shopping malls. I don't even mean the exporting of some of the world's best classic rock 'n' roll music. I certainly don't mean the outdated reruns of All My Children.

I don't just mean the hundreds of Jewish and Christian pilgrims willing to visit Israel at the best of times and the worst of times. I don't mean the many cultural events with the ubiquitous participation of American entertainers. I don't mean the American basketball players on our National League teams. I don't even mean the famous Israelis who were born or bred in America, like former Prime Minister Golda Meir, former Defense Minister Moshe Arens, basketball-star Tal Brody, singer Achinoam Nini (Noa), or Rabbi Shlomo Riskin.

I don't even mean the huge pro-Israel rallies in cities across America, most notably in Washington, D.C. Nor do I just mean the overall support for Israel among Americans and their congressional representatives.

At this time, I am most thankful to America for its patriotism.

Every Israeli reporter stationed in America since that terrible September 11 has commented on Israeli television or radio about the incredible patriotism of the American people. American flags everywhere. Flag pins on every lapel. Patriotic themes appeared in every media outlet. Every store, every religious institution, every school had patriotic signs up. Every caller and every host on radio talk shows felt the need to verbally wave the flag, too. Ceremonies, ecumenical, and otherwise, were created out of whole cloth, just to express patriotism and unity of purpose. It was awesome to behold. Domestic anti-American sentiment was given its fair hearing relative to its size — i.e., virtually none.

You should know, all of it made a deep impression here. We have the distinction of being one of the world's most self-critical nations, even more so than you, Americans. I think, however, seeing the outpouring of American patriotism did something to us. At first, it was just a vague sense of change. Average Israelis commented to one another wistfully, "If only we had the patriotism of Americans." And then, we had it. Sure, the soldiers refusing to serve in the IDF initially got an inordinate amount of press that might be expected from the Leftist media, but, when push came to shove, the story of the more than 100 percent response to army-reserve duty call-ups (meaning that Israelis who were not called for duty went to volunteer anyway) captured the domestic media's attention. Today's Israeli media talking heads are more likely to ask challenging questions of foreign reporters and politicians who come here with prejudices against the IDF or against the unity government's policies.

It seems to me that this year, starting after Passover through our Independence Day and until today, there are many more Israeli flags out there. Seven out of ten cars sport at least one Israeli flag. Most homes, also, are flying the Jewish Star and Stripes. And have you noticed the little Israeli-flag lapel pin worn by our prime minister nowadays? I am convinced that it is due to the inspiration of American politicians in the wake of September 11.

So, in short, thank you America for being yourselves: patriotic, confident, proud and determined. We needed that.

LOL! Yes, an excellent catalogue of another fine example of debate in our society. Here's another one I just noted tonight, done by another freeper:

Don't touch that Dial!

:)

[EternalVigilance]

LOL..

[Alouette]

US policy rules. Want to disagree with that?

Who died and put you in charge of US policy? Even though a terror-base sharia "Palestinian State" that has been completely purged of Jews and Christians might be your wet dream, it is not compatible with what the President has stated that his goals are.

The President has stated his position over and over again. "When they utterly renounce terrorism and violence and establish a democratic form of government."

In other words, what the President is saying is a polite, diplomatic, IN A PIG'S EYE!!!!

My, oh my! Look at what I found here: Now Do You Realize What Israel Is Up Against?:

"blah blah more of your steady diet of BS. Get a life."

Well, if you can't keep up with the debate, at least don't resort to childish name calling.

Wow. That was too easy.

[EternalVigilance]

This guy is looking more troll-like all the time.

He certainly doesn't have a clue what the word 'debate' means.

[ET(end tyranny)]

check out post #88 from the same thread you posted:

To: Yehuda

"You rejoinders are so lame, it's amusing that I only have to take a few minutes out of my day helping bring hundreds to support the troops rallkies, raising money to spend on phone cards for American soldiers, or bulletproof vests for Israelis, all on my website that is ABOUT AMERICA."

Good for you.

But your personal attacks don't help your credibility.

Interesting that this same bribriagain has personally attacked so many on this thread. What a troll. I knew I recognized that screen name, your post reminded me. I was reading that thread when those posts appeared and couldn't figure out what bribriagain was complaining about. Now we know, he was just trolling.

I guess it takes one to know one.

It seems that bribriagain also shares your view that there is little hope for the Palestinian Arabs to deal in good faith. After all, I would think the Islamic text books used by Islamic schools in the ME would be quite similar if not the same as those used by Islamic schools in NYC. Would they not?

Sowing Seeds of hatred, Islamic textbooks scapegoat Jews, Christians (in NYC)

Sounds like he doesn't expect anything to change either!

[ET(end tyranny)]

Awwww are you mad because you were caught?

[bribriagain]

"Awwww are you mad because you were caught?"

Caught? No, Mad? No. Amused? Yes.

[ET(end tyranny)]

I find your antics amusing, too.

[bribriagain]

I'm glad I could bring some humor into your life.

[swarthyguy]

What a joke.

First the US State Dept releases a report on Human Rights where Saudi is not included. That's like releasing a report on World Communism in 1956 without mentioning the Soviet Union.

Talk about the influence of Saudi money.

Then they compare Israel to China and Saudi. Those Israeli gulags are something, aren[t they, as are those Israeli laws not allowing women to vote.

What a crock of BS.

Makes the USG look and sound idiotic. They lose credibility by putting out moronic items like this.
