...It IS a reliable source. ...

In terms of 'the Israeli gambit', this is a prima facie case of course that it ISN'T reliable.  Why, I wonder, do you feel a need to assert - with no reasoning or justification - the source's reliablity when no-one has questioned it?   

(Here's a bit of anticipation from me, by the way.... I am purely commenting on YOUR post - quoted above.  This post is nothing more than an observation on your behaviour, not on the contents of a large cut and paste from a partisan website).

The Israeli people are right now almost going berserk over their governments inability to protect them.

that's a stage in the cycle. They go berserk demanding heavy measures, then they go tulip demanding peace talks. Talks don't work because not enough land is offered. Heavy measures fail because not enough bad people die. Ha ha. So goes the Israeli cycle. Luck on that road to heaven. Meanwhile, the big daddy Uncle Sam is slowly but surely going down. Who will take care of the poor orphan when the daddy is gone? Sarkozy? Probably not. Mark my words, Israel will be destroyed, and it will be American Jews who will have killed it. By overpatronizing.

LOL... Exactly Ahk .... And to think, all this time I thought Arab/Palestinian violence, and their leaderships failure to do anything meaningful about it, might have had something to do with it...

'48 borders weren't enough for the Arabs in '48 (as they demonstrated)... '67 borders weren't enough for the Palestinians/Arabs in '67 (As they demonstrated)... BUT NOW "Talks don't work because not enough land is offered"... Who would have known the answer was so simple and would have nothing to do with Palestinian Terrorism, their failure to deal with it, and the "right of return" which the Pals would use to destroy Israel... lol  Grin Grin

Meanwhile, back in the real world:

Mainly, yes.  The Israeli propaganda machine churns continually that 'we want pewace', 'final borders are amatter for negotiation', 'Hamas commit random acts of violence'... as if all the problem is one-sided.   

However, consider... 
Israel has fired approximately 1,000 times the amount of ordnance ibto Gaza that Hamas have fired out (ironically, many Qassam rockets carry charges of unexploded Isaeli shells);
the 'kill ratio' of civilians is approximately 4 to 1 and has remained that way for 7 years (and another small coincidence, the number of palestinian children killed has virtually consistently equalled Israeli civilian deaths throughout those years); 
despite hand-on-heart vows about road-maps, accords, etc Israel has never once stopped building new settlements and annexing viable land (the much publicised 'withdrawal' from Gaza was nothing more than giving back stolen land which was too hard to work and defend for 'settlers' in a hostile land);
thanks to 40 years of Israeli stewardship, Gaza is now one of the poorest places on earth, where now thanks to Isareli blockade 80% of the population are dependent on food aid, which again thanks to Israeli policy is being held back.  Israel is openly flouting its obligations under the Geneva Conventions - and ghouls on this board applaud it.

Once Israel shows some sincerity and honesty then perhaps negotiations can start.   



BTW For those who actually believe that the problems are all one-sided (your press and the posters here can give that impression), you may like to do some independent research - organisations like B'Tselem and Machsom Watch are good starting places - BOTH are Israeli orgs.  Rather than let partisans digest reality for you, please read and make your own minds up.

lol. Yeah. No propaganda coming from Hamas or PLO or Palestinians. No fake bodies, no mugging for the camera. No telling the west they just want peace but telling everyone else that "victory is Israelis suffer".
Sorry Callum but guys like you who just throw their hands over their ears, call facts propaganda and refuse to acknowledge even an inch of Palestinian or Arab responsibility just make me laugh. That's about it. There's never any use talking to guys like you.

1000 times eh? lol.No propaganda or acting as though the problem were all one-sided there. That sounds kinda like a point but not really. If you start an incident of hostility by lobbing a rocket into my territory and my response is to lob 10 rockets back well tough shit for you. Stop lobbing the rockets. If a smaller guy walks into a bar and kicks some guy 2' and 100lbs heavier than him in the balls is he a victim when the predictable happens?
Simply lining up statistics does not actually say what you imply it does.

Consider that.

I agree. Ditto to the land where the happiest mother is the one of a martyr. They show you one face begging for mercy and help and "All we want is peace" and another one entirely when you're not looking. They've brainwashed themselves into a 'forever war' - generation after generation - that regardless of whether you're willing to admit it or not -- will not and can not live with Israel.....

So actually I'm still waiting to see sincerity towards negotiations from Hamas and Gaza.


Originally I was simply laughing at Pistachios usual ambiguousness and vauge simplification. It wasn't "not enough land" (according to who? All peace requires a compromise) -- How about, "the land was all in the wrong spots" or "not homogeneous -- broken into little zones". That would make more sense.

Really makes me ill watching people write about how "as if the problem was all one-sided" and yet never make a single argument on the subject that isn't one sided or their own propaganda. Guys like you and Pistachios --- Palestinians can do no-wrong. To guys like you "underdog" = "morally righteous", and it doesn't.

Fascinating!  I point out that the problem is not one-sided, and your immediate response is not to attempt a defense of Israeli actions, but to start squawking about palestinbian propganda.  LMAO  step one in growing up - both sides drench the dispute in lies and propaganda.   I would wager you have NEVER read an independent report from the Holy Land, and certainly never an uncommented, 'debunked' report out of palestinian lands.  Rather like your mate, for you Israel has never performed a wrong action, not told a lie.....    Just note Akh - I am not denying that the palestinians propagandise and falsify.... nor am I accepting the similar output of the Israeli propaganda machine.

Of course no use talking to 'guys like me'.  Close your mind, close your eyes.   There is phenomenal wrong on both sides, and you and 'guys like you' (of which we have a good represenation right here - hope you enjoy the company you've chosen) do nothing to work towards any form of enduring peace by your constant refusal to admit that 'your' side is anything other than spotless.  I've news for you - they ain't.... but you and your pack are incapable of seeing that.

I expect ranting windbags to equate dispassionate views with support for the 'other' side.  I thought better of you - mea culpa.    Just one small thing:  you reckon that "To guys like you "underdog" = "morally righteous"" - well apart from (a) confirming my point and (b) making a generalisation about as irresponsibly and ludicrously as you can get,  if some people are "underdogs", what them makes them so?  What native american land are you living on?  What profits of slavery have produced your lifestyle?  To borrow a stupid phrase (its seems the only way to argue with you) - "for guys like you", the fist is better than the brain... you are as bad as Hamas.

Callum, I hate to disillusion you, but you are not the second coming of Christ.

How dare you put down others posts as if your view reflect any form of superior intellect. All it does is highlight your own insecurities and ignorance.

Terry
Akh and others of your mates chose to make this personal - 'guys like me' usually stick to facts (real ones, not opinions shouted loud).    I got pulled into brawl about 'guys like me' and 'guys like you' before, and withdrew when it was pointed out I had sunk to the abysmal level of my provocateur.  Sadly, such restrictions on behaviour do not apply to the exalted few who feel they are permitted to apply them. 

You may chose to judge and denigrate all you wish - it is what passes for argument I notice in your coterie.  However, your assumptions about me are wrong; your own 'sense of superiority' is even more unfounded.  How dare you admonish me.

I'll offer you a chance to raise this section to something approaching real discussion. You can address the question that (as usual) you and 'guys like you' consistently ignore, hedge, avoid, skirt, temporise....  See if you can answer without getting the Liar to post an interminable "justification" of everything your 'side' ever does.  See if you can give a simple, straight answer....

I believe that both sides in the Israel/Palestine conflict have commited acts of barbarism and evil: both are guilty of lying and dishonesty.   Do you agree?  Yes or no.

No my immediate response is to point out YOUR propaganda.

What is "Fascinating", Mr. Spock, is you talking about how things aren't one-sided and then go on to be completely one-sided. That was my point.

An intelligent person would've gotten that.

And I have nothing to do with Terry or Realityman. If either pipes up in agreement with something I wrote I have jack-all to do with it.

What native american land are you living on?  What profits of slavery have produced your lifestyle?

What Native American land? When my ancestors came here they asked the local tribes "are you using this land?", and they replied, "No. Go ahead....and Hey! Nice rifle! Can I have one?". They just didnt concieve there'd be millions coming afterwards, and frankly neither did the colonists.

If it wasn't Europe that colonized America it would've been the Japanese. Believe me they would've had no problem executing full out genocide. This is similar to the fact that if it wasn't Israel or the British or the Americans or the Palestinians themselves, it would be the Egyptians or the Arabs or the Persians who would be butt-fucking the Pal's into submission right now. The free city state of Gaza (closest thing to the original pal's) have NEVER (not once in 5000 years) been "free". So you can take the "white Euro nazi" shit and stuff it.

Truth is the 400000 natives that inhabited North America from the north pole to the rio grande actually don't have the right to all that land -- they would've been the first to admit it, and un-like the way the East invaded Europe for centuries under one ruler or another (monglols, timurids to a lesser degree the Persians), Europe didn't simply kill all they encountered. So one culture overtakes another...what's your point? History sucks?

Profits from slavery? I don't know why you're talking to me about that but if it is your intention to seperate one instance of slavery from 5000 years of slavery history in order to sound like you have a point -- well good luck. I suppose you're one of those nobs who figures "morality" brought an end to slavery when it was technology and the the fact that it was no longer cheap. Lose all the machines in the world today and boom! -- we'd be right back to slavery.....or perhaps you figure minimum wage isnt slavery? At any rate your moral ramblings about slavery are misplaced. I'm not from the South and besides, historically it doesn't fit.

I have an idea: why not pick a subject matter and stick with it instead of swerving all over the self-rightious "my-shit-doesn't-stink-you're-all-to-blame" road? Or are you under the impression you're the first to consider these things? You'll pardon the observation but you do not at all sound like a history student. Your conclusions seem too typically simplistic and short-sighted. For example historians rarely judge north American slavery as though it was an isolated American invention. Historians know better. People who simply regurgitate other uneducated opinions because they sound cool and it's easier than reading a book or two themselves are typically the ones to cry "North American Profit-Slavery".

'Bush killed' in Palestinian kids TV show
Repeatedly stabbed after White House 'turned into a great mosque'

March 31, 2008
© 2008 WorldNetDaily

A child stabs President Bush to death and turns the White House into a mosque in a children's puppet show broadcast on the television channel of the ruling Palestinian Authority party, Hamas.

In the Al-Aqsa TV skit, aired yesterday, the child confronts the American leader: "I have come to take revenge with this sword – revenge for my mother and my sisters. You are a criminal, Bush! You are despicable. You made me an orphan! You took everything from me, Bush! I must take revenge on you, with this sword of Islam, the prophet's Al-Battar sword."

The Bush character tries to appease the child with food, toys and a visit to the White House but is rebuffed, as seen in a video clip translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.

"You are impure, Bush, so you are not allowed inside the White House," the child figure says, because "it has been turned into a great mosque for the nation of Islam."

The child declares: "I will kill you just like Mu'az killed Abu Lahab (an enemy of Islam's prophet Muhammad). I will kill you, Bush, because that is your fate."

The child stabs Bush repeatedly: "Ahhh, I killed him."

Hamas, which won a majority in parliament in January 2006 elections, officially is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. As WND reported, a prominent Hamas leader recently was captured on video boasting of using children, women and the elderly as human shields in its firefights with Israeli soldiers.

Farfur the mouse teaches Palestinian children jihad

Al Aqsa TV also has broadcast shows for children featuring a squeaky-voiced Mickey Mouse look-alike who became "martyred" at the hands of Israeli "child killers" and a bee that sought to continue the "path of martyrdom, the path of the jihad warriors" and "take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the murderers of the prophets."

As WND reported one year ago, an online forum tied to the website of Hamas posted a photo of a little girl in a combat vest and the head band of the terrorist Al-Qassam Brigades.

The message accompanying the photo said the girl "is part of the Muslim generation which will go down in history [as a generation] … that refused to [accept] humiliation and defeat."

WND also reported Hamas launched a children's website in 2002 that encourages kids to follow the example of terrorist suicide bombers.

Yes, we should all rest easier knowing that the next generation should be much more peaceful.  Their ELECTED LEADERSHIP is doing a good job moving them from a culture of violence hatred, and terrorism, toward peace.  NOT!! Wink

Your neighbors?? (as the topic is titled)...

^^ S'actly what I'm talking about. I'm sure some completely lunatic people will come here to try and compare this with G.I.-Joe cartoons, and it's not as though there's zero simularity there, but at the end of the day it's simply not the same. Not by a long shot. To make arguments that they are the same is instant sign of insanity, delusion or insincerity.

This is why we won't see peace there in our life time. Not because of the Americans. Not because Israel "won't play nice", but because these people have decided to sign themselves up for another 2000 years of getting kicked around (Gaza has not been "free" since 750 BC). They think they are training their kids to fight and win. They are training them to die. How can somoene come here and boo-hoo-hoo the 'terrible fate of Palestinain children and their mortality rate" when they are taught from the moment they can speak that to die is to win.

No. To die is just to die.
