You're just trying to harass people preventing them from posting articles on events that happens in israel.
It's up to the reader to decide if it's negative or positive,not up to you.

Ironically, I believe it was an Israeli (Agam) who created that "Why [what] do you think about israel?" thread (now closed) in the Asia sub-forum in the first place.

Nope, as someone who lives in the real world, I would rather use observations and facts to support my opinions -- I truly believe the U.S. has nothing to gain (and more to lose) with its continued alliance with Israel, which is one of a parasitic nature (with U.S. as the foolish brainwashed "host"). Well Zionists, we're still waiting for an actual rebuttal instead of dodging the issue and pointing fingers instead

always remember folks:

(hint: it's a country in the middle east that the U.S. is unfortunately allied to)

Per her initial post:

It had no political agenda. Thus it could go in either the Asia* or Travel forums. You and others turned it from basically a travel thread into a hate thread. Thus it was closed due to that fact.


* The term "Middle East" was a creation by the British to separate the Arabs from everyone else.

I agree that the original poster (Agam) probably meant to write "what" rather than "why" in that particular posting!

I am not preventing you from posting anything but I don't see people posting an article about every single American or other nationality that behaves badly.

Again these Israeli diplomats that misbehaved in India don't represent all Israelis.

It may be your right to do so, but why are you specifically targeting Israelis and not anyone else?

With an open-ended question like that, the OP should expect a variety of responses, not just positive responses to feed/inflate his or her ego. Whether an opinion is "good" or "bad" depends on the person that is reading it; all opinions should be accepted and respected regardless.

Don't get things twisted. It is not so much hate as it is frustration. A real Israel hate thread would call for the destruction of Israel and/or the genocide of the Israeli people. None of my posts reflect that. INSTEAD, my posts against Zionism/Israel are a way to vent frustrations as an average, law-abiding/tax-paying U.S. citizen who sees no benefit of Israel being an ally to the U.S. (it feels more like an economic/security liability instead). I was hoping to generate fruitful discussion, but all I get is name-calling and pointing fingers. So again, I ask, what benefit does the U.S. get from having Israel as an ally? It seems one-sided in the sense that Israel heavily benefits from the U.S. as an ally but not the other way around! Besides, Israel is not the only U.S. ally in the middle east. For example, Kuwait is a major non-NATO ally (MNNA) of the U.S.

Okay, and? What point are you trying to address here? The United Nations' partition plan to facilitate the creation of Israel is a regrettable action of the past, and future generations (especially Americans) are paying a heavy price for this mistake.

Perhaps you can find some answers to your question in this article:

Did you go to school and learn how to create a composition? There is a topic sentence which is a general statement. This is followed by an introduction paragraph that sets the theme that draws the reader into the actual topic. By these standards of writing that post was not political. This direction you have chosen is a Hijack of the OP of this thread we are in now. The title simply made a statement that certain people had a brawl with other people. The introduction was a link to a news link that certain people who happened to be Israeli had a brawl in the India version of the US TSA. Instead of taking the direction of " Are brawls common in airports in India?" this thread became what it is now; A anti-Israel thread. I initially had two posts in this thread that showed brawls did happen more often than not in India's airports. They were deleted as I can only assume at the request of the original poster thus turning it into a thread about Israeli's and their bad reaction to standing in line too long. Which then should have simply turned the thread into coverage of people not having patience in airports. But it didn't go in that direction either. So here we are at your anti-Israel rant in which made an anti-Jew remark each time to posted in this thread.
