Who else saw the "Birth of Israel" on TV on Sunday? (BBC)
-
enlighten me then, where did this mosque massacre took place, and when? such a thing would have surely had some sort of reference on the internet? (unless offcourse you refer to the goldstein massacre, which is basiclly accusing israel for the acts of a lone lunatic who was put down the rabid dog he was) base your claims on facts everyone can see and read (your best source would probably be to find the program on one of the video sharing sites, it's a 10 year old program so it must be out there somewhere)

Why do you think I heade this post "Who else saw the 'Birth of Israel' on TV". Its clearly an invitation to those who did to take part. Since you didnt, then dont presume to deny what was stated in the program.

I guess that's better than being forced to defend yourself when you have been caught stretching the truth.

If you didnt watch the program, which I am assuing you didnt, then you have no basis on which to refute the statements made in the film as having been made.

fat_racist is just that: a racist and an unreconstituted anti-semite who rails against us at every opportunity. It won't matter what facts you present to refute what he thinks (rarely backed with solid fact) he is set in his ways and won't change. I prefer to pity him his destructive and narrow minded ways.
Oh dear, did I offend you by posting about Israel again? Really, you level of bias is quite extraordinary. I am no anti-semite. What I am snti is the 'they have suffered so much let them have their way' attitude. Fact is Jews, despite their suffering, are not angels, and its about time the world stopped treading on egg shells every time their name is mentioned! BTW, ISraeli masacres, specifically the one mentioned in the program: http://www.soundofegypt.com/palestinian/adult/massacres.htm#DAHMASH[^] Cute isnt it, tell me you dont condemn that kind of savegery despite their religion?

Christian, can you name another modern country that, since WWII had war declared against it, won the war and occupied great swaths of the land used to attack it that gave the land back in order to create peace between it and its erstwhile neighbors?

i honestly don't get where you get your facts from?! ariel sharon in the king david hotel bombing?! not according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing[^] and btw, when Hamas launches rockets on a civilian city, israel usually takes no action against those who orchestrate the rocket launching, who take great pains to hide behind woman and children.

a most credible site i have to say, do you have any Respectable source? (one written by a non biased party) really, i don't claim israel is all sweet and harmless, but you digging up the hate mongering sites as credible sources for your views really doesn't show you to be either credible or reliable source of information.

I'm beyond being offended by you since I now expect it. I am, however, dissapointed at the frequncy with which you make posts where you appear to revel in painting Israel as the villain of the piece. And I have to agree, we are no angels but, just once, I'd like to see you make a post about the hundreds of rocket attacks that go unanswered or the number of palestinians given treatment in Israeli hospitals, free, or how about posting about all the suicide attacks that decimate families that just want to live in peace? Or how about you condemn the constant stream of anti-semitic bile spewed to palestininian children in school? Yes, I'm sure we made mistakes and I'm sure we'll make more but we do our damndest not to kill innocents and we do our best to try and make peace with people that would rather we just ceased to exist.

you mean, the invasion that started after hezbullah launched a raid across the israel lebanon border to kidnap 2 soldiers from the israeli side of the border? i agree this was a mistake, sadly israel did not react as an arab nation would have (IE, carpet bomb south lebanon flat, and explain that unless the soldiers were produced, alive and well, at the border the following morning, the rest of the country will be a parking lot by noon) but instead took it's soldiers in to minimize as much as possible civilian casualties from the lebanon side (including giving up the element of surprise on quite a few fronts by dropping warning notes to the villagers living in the area to evacuate before the army arrived). really, stop while you have a shred of dignity left, you just keep digging yourself into the "foaming at the mouth hating israel no matter what" corner.

How about the problem involves two sides with one surrounded by a legion of countries that would like to see Israel destroyed? The problem is a political one, and the politicians representing the Palestinians are less politicians than they are terrorists.
I'd have said the problem is that Israel is propped up by US support and thus able to invade the land, take it by force and hold it because of the support they get from the US, militarily and financially

I agree that their recent actions have been somewhat tempered by political pressure, I said as much above. I am not against Israel per se, I'm more playing the devils advocate to those who blindly support a country that does exist because they forcibly displaced those who were there before and have mistreated those folks ever since.

Many of the Jews involved in the fight to carve out a homeland were either ex-members of the British Armed Forces or partisans who fought against the NAZIs in eastern Europe. By training and experience, they knew how to insure that the boot was not planted on their necks as it had been in Germany.

Yes, that is my point. They saw the results of Nazi oppresion, but instead of compassion, when given the chance, they eagerly took the role of oppressor. They plainly do that the safeguard their own position.

Actually, I was getting at the 'invade to control a threat then withdraw' part of your post, which of course the US did in Kuwait and Iraq.

1. not my post. 2. where did he say that? or where did you deduct he said that? quote please. 3. the US occupation of kuwait then and iraq now can hardly be compared to israel's occupation of the west bank (which, as i stated earlier, the sane 95% of the country would have turned over to the palestinians in a blink had it not been demonstrated in the gaza strip that giving them land simply means providing them with staging area for unprovoked attacks against israel)

Your army's buldozing of entire cities (well, huts in villages, and in the process the livelihood of hundreds if not thousands, forced to start over, for who knows how many times) for finding 1 weapon/person cache isn't exactly what I'd call helping, considering it's not a last resort measure, your army is treating the palestinians worse than animals, or was, or is. And in your eyes it's justified, more than justified, in their eyes it's a huge crime, in my eyes, it's simply not giving a shit about human lives because they're not jewish and some of them have done you wrong. Their Hamas blowing up any camps their rockets can reach doesn't help either, a great crime for you, justified for them cause in their eyes it's their land, same old not giving a shit about human lives. We're all so alike and yet so damn afraid to admit it, living by the same thousand years old rules and mentality. No matter what we like to fool ourselves into thinking about our great morality as the greater beast, we've evolved egos and fear of ourselves, and taken it to the extremes, who else has managed to destroy so much, prey on their own weak. No matter if right or wrong we are going to destroy it before backing down. I/We is the killer. We are right, they are wrong. We are good, they are evil, it's their fault. We are superior. God is on our side. It's our land. It's our right. Any of these sound familiar?
