$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('roccman', 'Y')eah sure Tyler - and the bombs that wiped out all Gaza's infrastructure two year ago were egyptian bombs.

And the bulldozers that raised palestinian homes were egyptian bulldozers.

And the national policy to take palestinian land (supported by Jews and Neo Cons in USA) is an egyptian policy.

Can you ever post something that is based in fact Tyler?


Egypt invaded and occupied that territory from 1948 to 1967. I'm sure if they asked nicely they could have it back. :lol:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tyler_JC', 'I')f Israel believes that a wall is necessary to protect its people from a hostile state, then they have every right to build the wall.


Palestine isn't a separate state. It is part of Israel. Walling up an international border is one thing. Walling off a domestic ethnic minority in a ghetto and depriving them of food, water, and power, shooting them, randomly bulldozing their houses, pouring your raw sewage on them, that's another matter entirely. Egypt's roll in this would seem more analogous to that of Switzerland's in WWII. They aren't willing to accept the Palestinian refugees, but they certainly didn't create the hell in Gaza that is driving the emigration pressure.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')o you have any evidence (besides their Jewishness) that the D9 operators were inhuman monsters, who could be expected to find it "cute" to run over dipshits sitting in their path?

Interesting logic. I was engaged in pointlessly demolishing the house of a respected local physician. I drove straight at her with a 20 ton bulldozer with a tiny window. How was I to know she wasn't agile enough to jump out of the way before I crushed her.

I'm pretty sure that it's not that the Arab world loves the Palestinians, they just hate the Jews.

I think the whole Muslim solidarity thing is just a pretext. When and if an agreement between Israel and the Palestinians is reached and a border is drawn, I don't expect to see an enormous amount of money for economic development rolling into the new Palestinian state from the rest of the Middle East. I suspect that the lion's share of any eventual Palestinian economic development money will come from the U.S. after we borrow it from China and Japan.

Israel, as the U.S is governed by people who are essentially organized thugs/criminals, who have access to the best public relations machinery on the planet. The central religious issue, is worship of money, and the criminals in charge are just making too damned much money through war profiteering to sincerely engage in authentic peace talks.

Lemme guess: Are you by any chance hailing from northern Idaho? And where did you get the idea that only Jews can read history?


In case you dont know, its a jewish habit to answer questions with questions, so if you, as some other jews here, will claim that you are not jewish, in the future prepare yourself a bit better. And if you are curious about my location, tell me why do you think I am from a north idaho and I will let you know if you are right.

No need for the "Fourth Reich". Correctional work for your tribe was done by people of multiple confessions, nationalities , citizenships and races, throughout pretty much every century of recorded history. The fact that now you've stolen some land won't change a thing-- not now, not ever.

That would make Iraq the 51st state then. There is no international treaty or UN ruling that makes Gaza part of the state of Israel.

But you know how that stuff goes down, pretty soon the Mormons and the Jews would be fighting and Salt Lake City would be the new West Bank and renegade Mormons would be firing rockets into Utah from Idaho.


You need to read the books of Kevin MacDonald.

And don't we have a bunch of suprlus nerve gas around somewhere? Put the Jews in their little Truman Show enclave than woops spill that stuff upwind..... problem solved. If we mounted a serious effort to give a "home" to the world's Jews, we'd have the world's cooperation, and a millennia-long problem and cause for wars finally taken care of. :)

If the Jews are Nazis, why don't they just nuke Palistine and wipe it off the map? That's what Hitler would do. Clearly Hitler did not give a rat's butt about world opinion or about the loss of life.

I think it is a very important distinction that Israel is not "the Jews". There are lots of Jews that strongly disagree with Israel's behavior. Israel doesn't nuke the Palestinians for a number of reasons, most prominently that they want the Palestinian land and in fact have settlements throughout the Palestinian territory. Hitler, in fact, did care about public opinion. The full goings on of the final solution were not public knowledge until US and Russian troops entered those areas. I think the historically distinguishing feature of Nazi Germany was not lack of concern for political exigencies, but their systematic policies of rounding up a ethnic minority into ghettos, stripping those minorities of their citizenship rights, and instituting policies that tended towards the annihilation of that minority through outright murder in some cases, but more typically through neglect and privation: Lack of proper housing, lack of proper sanitation, lack of food, lack of access to medical care - exactly the conditions that now predominate in Gaza.

Personally, I'm willing to invite the entire state of Israel to come join us in America.

We have tons of excess houses for them to buy. :roll:

The Jews can sell their land to Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, or whoever-the-hell-wants-it.

Then there is no Jewish conspiracy to support Israel because Israel ceases to exist. They become just like any other religious group in the US. They would be free to live as they please, practice their religion in peace, and their standard of living would improve dramatically. Moreover, their risk of being killed by terrorists would fall rather dramatically.

Alternatively, they can build a new Israel wherever they want in the US. Heck, they can even carve out a chunk of Montana and get their state complete with senators/congressmen to represent them.

It's only a diaspora if they lose their culture. But in the US, you don't need to sacrifice your culture to blend in. I mean, look at LA. Have the Mexican immigrants sacrificed a single sombrero or taqueria?

Back in the 1930s there was a bill in the US congress to allow Jewish refugees in Alaska. Sadly the bill failed and millions were needless slaughtered by the Nazis. Wouldn't the world have been better off with a Jewish Alaska rather than a Holocaust?

I'm just rambling but you get the generally idea of where I'm going. Israel's position is not sustainable. Too many hostile neighbors and too few Israelis. The only way to protect their cultural identity in the long term is to leave their "homeland".

Smallpoxgirl, I conceed the point on Hiltler's concern for public opinion. While he was weak and coming to power he was adept at concealing his manuverings from the public, but then again there was Mien Kamph that spelled out his plan for any who cared to read. The bars of soap, the showers, those were masterful forms of crowd control.

What we see over here in the media are suicide bombers, little children wrapped up in belts of high explosives, palestenian mothers glorifying the deaths of ther sons who have just blown themselves to pieces.

That mindset is alien to us. Privately we feel the Jews have shown consdirable restraint. Americans do not have a good track record of showing restraint in dealing with with perceived terrorist.

Check out the Sand Creek Massacre. God forbid that we should ever come to view the Palistinians as a threat to our existence.

Of course we do. That's what the Germans saw in the newspapers vis-a-via the Jews. Maybe with a slightly different spin, but same idea: dirty, bloodthirsty, disloyal, no concern for human life, plotting to destroy the country, etc.

As for Sand Creek, your point is certainly well taken that the American genocide of the Native Americans was the prototype for Germany's genocide of the Jews. That though is a different topic and almost certain to thoroughly derail this one.
