How about the person living across the street from you decides to shoot out the windows on your car and your house? You ask her why and says because you get your mail delivered before she does. Ok you call the PO and ask them to deliver on her side first. It gets done. Next day she is shooting at your house again. And again you ask her again why. And she says the trash collectors smile at you and doesnt smile at her. You call up the trash company and ask them to be nicer to her and smile. Next day they smile at her. A few minutes after they pass she pulls out her gun and starts again. At some time you're going to figure out the diplomacy & talking in not working. So you then call the Police, but you tell them not to harm her. So they come and she is shooting at you again. So they sit on your front lawn shooting back at her windows. So at what point can they go in and arrest her and finally stop the shooting?
Because you are falsely implying that this is what is taking place by using a fictional analogy! Why don't we stick to actual facts and events!

Israel has been oppressing the Palestinians for years! Israel also has a very active PR program going to minimize any damage to their reputation. They have carefully controlled the content of the news on the media. Israel is responsible for distorting the facts of the conflict to make themselves appear as innocent victims.

However, the truth is leaking out through internet such as actual real life videos on You-Tube! Israel cannot so easily control or edit the internet although they are trying! They actually pay people to blog about these issues in favor of Israel and against the Palestinians.

Israel has announced that it is setting up a network of bloggers to combat websites deemed “problematic” by the Zionist state, presumably to propagandize about the necessity of killing babies and infants in the name of self-defense.
Israel’s global reputation for being the new Nazis was already firmly established, but the ceaseless and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, labeled a war crime by international observers, has hardened opinion against the country and this has manifested itself nowhere more than the world wide web.
Israel’s response will be to flood the Internet with PR agents who will attempt to create a phony consensus that the ZIonist state’s barbarian actions are justifiable.

Israel pays U.N. for damage in Gaza offensive

Quote:
(CNN) -- Israel has paid the United Nations $10.5 million for damage to its facilities during last year's offensive against militants in Gaza, the U.N. said Friday.
During the three weeks of fierce fighting, Israeli shells set ablaze the U.N.'s main aid distribution warehouse in Gaza City and also attacked three U.N. schools for Palestinian refugee children, the U.N. said.
A U.N. board of inquiry investigated the incidents and released a scathing report about it last May.
In the report, the U.N. board of inquiry blamed Israel for the damage during the military offensive between December 2008 and January 2009.

Yes, that's what it is.....he's an " anti-Semite "

These Jewish people have no common sense. No integrity and no objectivity, whatsoever.

I'm so sick of hearing and seeing the Anti-Semite Card being played.

Accountability is a foreign concept to these Jews.

Or anyone who disagrees with Israel or a Jew who commits a crime or attrocity.

Or anyone who suggests or demands accountability from Israel and Jewish people.


Very convienant.

What's clear, here.

Israel and no Jew is ever to blame for anything at any time.

Israel and Jews, apparently, are merely and eternally victims in any scenario and can never, ever be held responsible for any thing.

Sound like Anti-Gentilism, if you ask me. Anti-Anyone-Not-Jew.

Right, and the arabs are innocent angels. You ignore that Egypt and Jordan occupied Gaza from 1948-1967. You ignore that arabs have killed far more palestinians than Israel has. You ignore that Arabs keep Palestinians in refugee camps.. You ignore that the Arabs tried to destroy Israel in 1948, arguably in 1967, and 1973. The only argument yhou have is 1956, Israel was the agressor, along with the UK and France.

I'm not arguing israel is an angel, but when you single out israel and ignore everything else on earth, there is a problem.

Egypt and Jordan didn't really occupy Gaza because if they left, Israel would have took Gaza, I dont know why you call it occupation since they were welcomed by the Palestinians.

That was wrong, but all of these incidents happened after the Palestinians got displaced, and who displaced them? The Zionists.

Well what do you expect from 3rd world countries, at the time these countries were still struggling to have a good grip over their country.

The Arabs didn't try to destroy Israel, until the Zionists started hinting about creating a Jewish state within Palestine, and this happened without any negotiations with Palestinian people, innocent Palestinians got displaced, massacred, arrested, etc. I guess to you thats a peaceful way to takeover some else's land.

I see antisemitic comments by the dozen...

Due to the nature of the Israeli-Pal conflict,
the size of Israel,
the special ethnic-social-economic conditions there,
all Israeli actions are justified...

Therefore,whoever "distilles the mosquito & swallows a rope ",to paraphrase the Bible,
is an antisemite...
including some 5-10% of Jews,mostly mixed & converts,of the far left,without an ounce of Jewish blood...
