Yup, the good old "they're savages" excuse.... kinda like what we did with the indians (and slaves).

Shame on you!
So anti-semitism is a disgusting staple, but "vile Islamic world" and "racist Muslims" is OK - in you book? You can hate Muslims, but can't accept when people reject Israelis. Notice I did not say Jews because it is Israelis that are in conflict with the Palestinians.

Everyone has some sort of anti-thing going on. I'm sure there are Jews that are anti-black, anti-gay, anti-inter-racial marriage, anti-mixed religious marriage. People seem to need a anti cause or three in their life.

Not everyone is going to embrace Jews, nor reject Muslims, as much as you would like it to happen.

You are anti-illegal immigrants, and show complete and hostile utter contempt for those who aren't.

There are Jewish Israelis, there are Arab Israelis, and there are Christian Israelis, and there are who were considered Palestinian, that are now Israelis.

BTW, Antisemitism can refer to all people of Semitic background, Jewish, Israeli, Arabic, etc.

Clearly my RESPONSE was to a poster who was speaking of anti-semitism and referred to Jews. People tend to link Jews and Israeli Jews together, which is wrong. I haven't heard about Arab or Christian Israelis speaking out against Palestine.

Please make note of the following "lesson of the day":

Quote:
Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is suspicion of, hatred toward, or discrimination against Jews for reasons connected to their Jewish heritage. A person who holds such views is called an "antisemite".
I believe we learn at least one new thing every day (or should).

And Palestinian includes any person living in Israel before 1948 which includes Jews & Christians (non-arab).

But by current usage of each, anti-semitism only relates to Jews and Palestinians only relate to Christian/Muslim Arabs.

A statement of fact about the Islamic world isn't bigotry. Muslim nations have huge problems including illiteracy, institutionalized sexism, hostility towards science and modernity and a vast unemployment rates.

Their solution is to rant about Zionism and blame the Jews.

The Islamic world is vile. Women and non-Muslims have no rights in many Islamic nations. Muslims are deeply racist towards non-Muslims who are portrayed in their societies in the most repulsive ways. I dislike Islam intensely as it is nothing more than the rantings of a sixth century pedophile and people dumb enough to believe him. That's not bigotry anymore than dislike of Republicans is bigotry.

On top of everything else anti-Semitism is a constant staple of the Islamic. Muslims are forever whining that people view them as terrorists yet their own societies are knee deep in openly disgusting stereotypes about Jews, Christians and women.

And yes, I am completely contemptuous of those who support people who violate American immigration laws and then demand access to my paycheck and force Spanish down my throat. Your point? I fail to see what one has to do with the other.

Not at all. The Palestinians can simply leave if they don't want to live under occupation. Perhaps you don't know, but a majority of Christians immigrated from the Middle East after they felt uncomfortable living among Muslims. They left without fanfare or suicide bombings. Many Copts are expected to leave Egypt in the coming years as well.

Have they educated themselves? Learned vocational skills? Even tried to better themselves? Not exactly:
They've done a VERY good job of educating children to hate.
And smuggling in Iranian tools of death.
And training suicide bombers.
And idolizing "martyrs".
And praising those who blow themselves up, as long as they take as many men, women and children with them as possible.

Who do the patriarchs of this amoral society set up as role models for young people? Athletes? Scientists? Entertainers? NO! BLOODY MURDERERS! ("Martyr" is the idolized term they use). They teach it in the schools, mosques, and the media. It's no wonder they behave like vicious animals.

There are no people in the world LESS deserving of a state then the "Palestininian People". The term "Palestinian People" didn't even exist until Arafat invented it in the 1970's. You can't find the term "Palestinian People" before then. They are mostly descendants of Arab migrants who came to Palestine in search of jobs that were created by the Jewish agricultural and industrial revival of the area in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

They are a morally sick society, as most Arab societies are. They danced in the streets on 9/11. They celebrate the murder of innocents. No state for them until they stop acting like wild animals.

Does Foreign Aid Fuel Palestinian Violence? :: Middle East Quarterly
"there is strong evidence that it (the aid) contributes to a culture of corruption, government malfeasance, and terrorism that has had lethal consequences for both Israelis and Palestinians over the past decade."
How are they supposed to build and educate their people, when they are under constant threat of bombardment? This is nothing more than racism against the brown people. Israel is committing humanitarian crimes while the rest of the world stands by and does nothing!



During the 8-day Israeli offensive IOF, especially warplanes, attacked the entire Gaza Strip, leaving no place to be safe. IOF targeted houses, destroyed them completely, in addition to targeting other civilian objects, governmental establishments, police stations, mosques, schools, hospitals, health clinics, streets, bridges, and service centers. These targeted areas were densely populated areas, due to which the number of civilian casualties increased. Moreover, IOF intentionally and directly targeted journalists and media offices, killing 3 journalists and injuring 12 others. Numbers and statistics mentioned in this report reflect the scale of the attacks carried out during this military operation.


The Israeli offensive resulted in the killing of 156 Palestinians, including 103 civilians. 33 children, 13 women and 3 journalists were among those civilians who were killed. In addition, entire families were killed, such as 8-members of the al-Dalo family. However, until now a girl still remains under the rubble of the family house. Furthermore, the offensive resulted in the wounding of 1,000 Palestinians, including 972civilians. 274 children, 162 women and 12 journalists were among the civilians who were wounded.

During the offensive, IOF carried out 1,350 air strikes, in which 1,400 missiles were launched, in addition to artillery shells fired by land and naval forces. The Israeli attacks resulted in the following:

55 houses were completely destroyed, while hundreds of other houses sustained damages ranging between extensive damage and partial damage.
2 mosques were completely destroyed, while other 34 mosques sustained partial or extensive damage;
8 governmental establishments were destroyed, the most prominent of which were the Prime Minister's head office and the Governmental Compound (Abu Khadra) in Gaza City;
13 security offices and police stations were destroyed, the most prominent of which was the Police Headquarter in Gaza City;
2 bridges connecting the centre of the Gaza Strip with the northern Gaza Strip were destroyed;
6 media offices and 6 health institutions were targeted;
28 educational institutions sustained major damage.

They are not allowed to leave, they aren't allowed free mobility, they are prisoners, Gaza is a camp. Why do you think there are checkpoints everywhere?
