Israeli City Shocked As Rockets Hit

[doodlebugg 10]

Seems like "Death to Terrorists" would be presumptuous when Death To Everyone appears to be the policy of response.

That's what it seems to be. Their military operation killed children too. UN Chief Ban Ki Moon has comdemned firing rockets into Israel from Gaza and disproportionate Israeli military action. Now some would say, who cares what UN Chief says? But he is right. I emphasize those idiots should stop firing rockets into Israel. Seriously, this cycle won't bring peace to anyone and I am afraid it will continue. The peace talk is nothing but talk, as it is not bearing any fruits.

Just imagine bunch of terrorists near the USA border firing homemade rockets into our towns.

How long time will take until we go there and wipe them out?

Totally!!! I mean imagine if Israel were cutting off the USA's power and water and were constantly killing our little children! How long would it take before we reacted?

The Jews don't go around calling the Palestinians dogs and pigs

"The Palestinians are beasts walking on two legs."

- Menachem Begin, in a speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, "Begin and the Beasts," New Statesman, June 25, 1982

"When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle."

- Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, New York Times, April 14, 1983.

"The Palestinians"... "would be crushed like grasshoppers... heads smashed against the boulders and walls."

- Yitzhak Shamir, Prime Minister of Israel, in a speech to Jewish settlers, reported in the New York Times, April 1, 1988

"One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail."

- Rabbi Yaacov Perrin, Feb. 27, 1994, reported in the New York Times, Feb. 28, 1994, p. 1

"The Palestinians are like crocodiles, the more you give them meat, they want more"

- Ehud Barak, Prime Minister of Israel, August 28, 2000, reported in the Jerusalem Post August 30, 2000

"Palestinians [working in Israel] are like lice. You have to take them out like lice." Palestinians are like "a cancer on the body of Israel."

--Rehavem Ze'evi, Israeli tourism minister, former IDF general and head of Moledet party, which calls for expulsion of Palestinians, assassinated in 2001. Interview with Israeli radio, July, 2001

Now let's see some footnotes for your "quotes."

Don_Joy, do you still standby your comment "The Jews don't go around calling the Palestinians dogs and pigs?"

none of the quotes above indicate that the jews did call them dogs or pigs. a few other words, perhaps, but not those two.

What is the difference between calling a particular ethnic group (they are human beings) dogs and pigs, VS cockroaches, lice, grasshoppers, crocodiles? The point is to compare an ethnic group with insects, animals, etc. Why do you always think everything is funny?

Or what if Egypt was blocking the free flow of fellow Muslims accross their border? oh.. wait.... nevermind.

Again, bringing the fellow Muslims again. I thought, it was answered in the previous thread.

quite simply, don didn't say that about them, yet everything under the sun gets thrown into the mix by wom. don's statement still stands until someone can post a statement and link that proves otherwise, regardless of how many grasshopper and flea references someone can come up with.

Agreed its all dehumanising rhetoric. Getting hung up on a couple of words when there appears to be no shortage of derogatory comparisons being thrown about seems a little silly.

This is what Don Joy said:

The Jews don't go around calling the Palestinians dogs and pigs

This statement was clearly insinuating that "the Palestinians" call "the Jews" names, while at the same time making a claim that that "the Jews" don't stoop to such behavior.

You can play semantics all you want -- "he was talking about 'dogs' not 'lice'" -- but the point was obviously about the comparison of humans to something less than human.

And the sad fact is -- there are plenty of Israeli leaders who have gone on record engaging in this exact sort of behavior.

I don't expect people who don't *want* to get such a "simple" point to do so. But plenty of others do

Who said I support Egypt's actions? Egypt does whatever the US wants them to do as do other countries that get loads of $$$ from them. If these countries go against the US then the leader is outed and the next "democratic" election brings in the new guy. If the new guy doesn't comply then he's gone and the next "democratic" election is held. And so on and so forth.
