Israeli City Shocked As Rockets Hit

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

Yeah, it's ze Zionist Lobby in ze United Zionist Ztatez of America.

You're spitting all over yourself

Bridget said nothing about the Z-word.

She's talking about the fact that the U.S. sends $2 billion a year to Egypt, which is payment (or you could say bribe money) for Egypt's cooperation with U.S./Israeli policies. If Mubarak steps outside the boundaries of those policies, the money will be cut off, and he will be out of power faster than you can say "Ashtatan Ashtut."

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?

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.

Maybe thats a litlle to simple for Simple to understand.

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

I hope, Don_joy will say what he thinks about those comments like calling Palestinians as crocodiles, cockroaches, lice, grasshoppers. I am sure, Don_Joy was not aware of these derogatory comments about Palestinians. But, if he thinks like what Charles pretends to think, I have nothing to say.

that might be a vast improvement on your part.

my son would use the exact same method of semantics back in kindergarten. when i told him game time was over and to put mario kart away, i'd come back in the room to find him playing lego star wars. "but you only said i had to put mario kart away. you didn't say anything about lego star wars. i thought you were just talking about 'that' game." now that he's a 1st grader, his argument techniques have become vastly more sophisticated. it's funny that there's adults out there that still haven't made that transition though. their neurons just aren't firing at the same level as my 7 year old's.

It's like Romper Room in here sometimes.

Adults play this kind of semantics when their arguments fall flat. Don_Joy, what do you think about these words 'cockroaches,' 'crocodiles,' 'grasshoppers' that were used to describe Palestinians?

I still don't like terrorists. How's that for semantics?

Most of us agree with you, if you mean you don't like any terrorists be it is Arabs, Jews, Muslims or whatever ethnic group it is.

But 99% of terrorists today belong to which religious group?

oh sure. You'll google something up from 1996 to prove me wrong. But all anyone has to do is pick up any newspaper TODAY to prove me right. Open your eyes.

I am always very clear condemning all terrorists (Muslims, Jews, Christians). It seems to me you want to bring one religious group in the equation which is a different subject matter. History proves that people from all religious group perform terrorism and we should condemn terrorism.

Very disappointing to see your response. What part of my response you don't understannd? I have made myself clear to condemn any attack by Hamas and any other group. In another thread from yesterday, I condemned yesterday's attack. Have you read them? Are you here to have an open discussion or are you here to lay false accusation on someone?
