Sept. 10, 2007, 9:36 p.m.25 Israelis get injured, and it get splashed everywhere. Palestinians get murdered, enslaved, tortured, imprisoned indefinitely, their land stolen, their water stolen, their lives destroyed, and not one whisper goes out. Only in America.

Sept. 10, 2007, 9:41 p.m.and the israeli's continue to supply gaza with electricity and water. in all the comments on netscape about how terrible the israeli's are, you never see anyone talk about that.
or the fact that it is necessary b/c the palestinians have been so busy buying/ building rocket launchers they havent taken the time to build solar power plants (in the desert) or wave generators (on the mediteranean) or harvest fish for biodiesel (yes it works),
and before you point out the presence of israeli tanks and air attacks, remember each of those were preceded by a palestinian attack. and if you disagree with my perspective on the cycle. remember that sharon pulled out of gaza unilaterally and there was a cease fire which was broken by the palestinians instead of ceasing the opportunity to build infrastructure (before the hamas elections this took place)

Sept. 10, 2007, 9:57 p.m.Very good points, truthiness.
Other points people like bumbaklotartattack forgot are ones, such as initially the palestinians were offered land half a century ago, which included Gaza, the west bank and all of Jordan (which in its entirety would be known as "Palestine trans Jordan).
If people like bumbaklotartattack took a deeper look into the issue, rather than through anger-colored glasses, they would look at every war in that region and see how not one of them was started by Israel.
Perhaps bumbaklotartattack should read about several projects that were offered to the Palestinian people to share water plants, electrical and telephone lines, but the Israeli offers got rejected.

Sept. 10, 2007, 9:57 p.m.People like bumbaklotartattack don't look deeper, in that the heart of the problem is not Israel - Israel only protects herself. The problem is the Arab leadership - people like Arafat, who stole billions of dollars from "his people" and whose own wife and children lived in a multi-million Euro penthouse in Paris? Arab leaders who use the palestinians like we use pawn in a chess match - dispensible objects for a broader strategic goal.
There problem here, as always, lays within the Arabs themselves - the powerful deceive, and the many others don't know any better.
Sometimes the answer lies deeper below the surface.

Sept. 10, 2007, 10:25 p.m.I still cannot believe how forgiving Israel is. I would have cut off the power and water to the whole region, and if they still attcked me, I would send out the military.
It's almost sad that the palestinians are too stupid to realize that they are no more than pawns of islam. It's even more sad that we have people on here defending them.

Sept. 10, 2007, 10:34 p.m.Followers of Hamas and Arafat and Islamic Jihad etc. are operating under a collective insanity. They provoke retaliation with bombings such as this and then cry that they are being "Massacred" when Israel fights back. This is a product of truly evil minds.

Sept. 10, 2007, 11:35 p.m.Which proto-terrorists and gangsters are you talking about? There are (and were) so many - it's tough to keep them straight without a program.
By the way, did you just get your copy of "The Protocols of the Zionist Elders" or are you spewing this drivel from memory.

Sept. 11, 2007, 12:41 p.m.Funny, I read that same thing in the "Protocals of the Elders of Zion". My copy was published in Saudi Arabia in 1998. Everything that you said is Bull. Zionism was a movement. Nothing more, nothing less. It's only reason for existance was to create a Jewish National homeland on land that had been taken from the Jews by conquest during a 2000 year period. Your "historical" aspect of Zionism appears almost word for word in my copy of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", pages 197 to 224 (again, Saudi version. It differs in other reprints in the Moslem world.) My department has almost unlimited access to most printed materials around the world. BTW, "The Protocals...." was a book that was commissioned by Czar Nicolas II of Russia in the late 1800's. It has been used as Arab propoganda for over 70 years now, and continues to be mandatory reading in schools in most of the Moslem world and continues to be published there.

Sept. 11, 2007, 12:01 a.m.The League of Nation had already studied the matter and was mostly decided on the Partition scheme to quell the violence. If anything WWII prolonged Israels birth.
But I did meet some really nice Israeli art students a few years ago......
Muhaha

Sept. 11, 2007, 12:44 p.m.What I find to be HardStein's lunacy, to which he should really seek professional help, is that there are no credible historians (other than in the arab world) that would agree with one single word that he said. My department has been laughing at his posts for over an hour now.

Sept. 11, 2007, 12:06 a.m.Incredably accurate flying no doubt to not only hit a building at such speed but also hit it in the exact spot where the bombs were places so it would look like the damage from the planes caused it, at least from the poor huddled masses point of view.

Sept. 11, 2007, 12:37 p.m.They were also able to place all of the charges in the correct places without being noticed - No small feat when you consider the time and effort that goes into the demolition of even a relatively small building. Not only that; they were able to get the leader of a terrorist organization to not only take credit for the 'demolition', but to provide video of the 'fabricated' hijackers, and to praise them for thier part in that 'demolition'.

Sept. 10, 2007, 11:38 p.m.Hey, YOU'D fire rockets at Israelis also if YOUR religious book YOU believed in said Jews will go to the worst of hells. Type "Quran, Jews, hell" into your web browser and see for yourself. A Muslim on Netscape said hypocrites go to the worst of hells, but, from the Quran I've read, it's actually the Jews who do.

Sept. 11, 2007, 12:03 a.m."The diabolical Anglo-French Mutual Aid Agreement with Poland announced in 1939 led to the terrorising, slaughter and rape of thousands of ethnic Germans by Khazars in the Polish corridor with the backing of the Polish government..."
Wow - a real live believer in the Nazi propaganda and lies used to justify their invasion of Poland. I thought the last of you fellows had died off in Paraguay years ago.
But that propaganda and lies thing to start a war, wait a minute, that might just have application today. No, people are far too smart and savvy to fall for that old chestnut these days.

Sept. 11, 2007, 10:59 p.m.Awesome! You believe in the Khazars? Most of academia can find nearly no evidence of their existence. And that ALL JEWs are descendants of Khazars, why that would have to be the biggest conspiracy ever. Wouldn't the "real" Jews notice the strangers claiming membership in the tribe? But you don't let that stop your beliefs.
I feel the same way. I definitely believe in Sasquatch. He (or she) is a wily creature that fears humans. That is why we rarely see them.
Aliens exist too. With all their technology, they can evade our primitive scientific instruments. There may be a goverment conspiracy to cover up the Truth. All I know is, I believe in little green people.
