If you are suggesting that those opposed to Israel are not opposed to the brutal dictatorships in Burma, North Korea, the evidently dictatorial new order in Iran, etc., I would love to know how you came to believe this.
Well, you can start with this august body... Human Rights Council - Homepage

Read that long run on sentence again and tell me which "their" the country was "stolen" from.
From the 700,000 people who were driven out under threat of death, for a start.

It is also, ironically enough, a word used for centuries in a derogatory way towards Jews. Isn't that ironic? Don't you think?
It's not "ironic", no, although I'm not going to split hairs about the definition of irony. Back to the point, some Jews are parasites; some Irishmen are drunks; some blacks are lazy; some Italians are greasy; and so on. Sorry if that rattles your world, but it's a fact, and when it's the case, it's a fact people don't need your permission to notice.

Ahh, there we have it. 700,000 people driven out at deir yassin. That explains it. Thanks! Oh, btw, 107 people were killed at Deir Yassin and 4 days later the Arabs had their own tea party, massacring 79 Jews in a medical convoy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadassa...onvoy_massacre. Tit for tat, but how does that explain "700,000" driven out again?

The money shot! Racialist theory at its finest and my point proven. Scratch an Israel basher long enough and you find a bigot. Quack quack!

Translation: no Jews are parasites, no Irishmen are drunks, no blacks are lazy, and no Italians are greasy. OK.

Sri Lanka? You mean the country that served on the council from 2006-2008?

Quack Quack!

It doesn't; that is merely a cheap and hysterical libel to silence critics, as almost anyone can tell.

So effing what? Was opposition to the existence of the Union of South Africa motivated by "anti-Afrikaans sentiment"?

They moved in, and they stole someone else's country at gunpoint because, by their own admission, they had no other territory and they felt entitled to one. Rolling back their aggression completely demands the obsolescence of their state. If that doesn't fit the definition of "parasite" then nothing on earth does.
You've been spewing historical baloney. Your efforts serve no constructive purpose.

The advocates of the destruction of the state of Israel have brought war and misery to generations of Israelis, Palestinians, and other Arabs in that area. And those such as your friends in Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime will continue to do so until they are stopped.

I agree, but tha advocates of the CREATION AND EXPANSION ON THE STATE OF ISRAEL, have also brought WAR AND MISERY TO GENERATIONS OF ISRAELIS AD ARABS.

(i disagree and object to any racism and hatred of jews, but the creation of this apartheid "so called jewish" state is a disgrace to jews everywhere."

While we're on this note, some Palestinians are terrorists, like the ones that blow themselves up in the middle of a crowd after being brainwashed by Hamas.

Since you made some interesting points about Jews, Irsishmen, and Italians (but failed to make points about Arabs), I thought I'd throw that in.

I'm expecting you to debunk my statement and call the Palestinian terrorists freedom fighters.

Proceed.
