Bear, these people are loonies.

They fit perfectly Churchill's terrific definition: "A fanatic is someone that can't change his mind, and won't change the subject".

The essence of the argument is that if people like EAO, Einsmench and MHz did not exist in western culture there would be no need, indeed there would never have been the move towards the creation of a Jewish homeland.

These three illustrate perfectly, IMHO, the trident upon which Jews have been hoisted for over 1,000 years.....

EAO is the concerned citizen, worried terribly about his neighbours dealing with (back then) Jews poisoning cattle, killing Babies, spreading disease...(and now) committing horrible crimes against humanity...but he never recognizes either the fallacy of his accusations, nor the irrational hatred that fuels them.

Einsmench is simply a hater. Jews are a convenient target, but I think anyone vulnerable would do.....he simply wants to revel in mass murder, he loves the darkness of it all, denial of the greatest evil in western history is thrilling for him.

MHz is the religious prong, the "they rejected Christ, they are damned, and they deserve everything they get".....simply a pious excuse for hatred........one they think is sanctioned by God, if you can imagine...

And there it is......the Unholy Trinity of Jew hatred..... as manifested on Canadian Content
And you are the living example that we can create something perverted. I don't think I made you into the (small human appendage) you are ... but .. there you are.

Several times we (you and me specifically) have covered the Jewish persecution over their murder of Jesus. Not one point you mentioned is valid concerning my reply to you after you introduced that specific twist of the truth. The others can defend themselves if they want, If I promote their complete salvation in the Christian threads (easier to find) then I would also have that opinion in the 'political section'.

When you verbally support that Israel will be militarily defended no matter if she is in the right or wrong (morally and legally) you have quite being objective and have become the very thing you fear the most, a fanatic that can see no wrong in the ones they hold as being the one and only moral beings.

And this is where you fall off the map.

Neither Colpy, nor myself make the claim that Israel is always right.

That being th emonumental difference between you, eao and us.

You should actually let Colpy answer for himself. Read the words again, military support for Israel by the US Military (with Canada going along) irregardless if Israel started/caused it or not.

Being always right is not the issue.

How can I be expected to take you seriously when you can't even differentiate between a wall to keep people in and one to keep people out?

And there is a difference.

Ask your neighbours why they put a fence up. I'm sure they aren't Nazi's.

Quoting MHz Only in your world could that work, two wrongs make two wrongs.
I think not.

So rather than civilians being killed as being 'wrong' it is only 'wrong' in certain circumstances. Would these Arab villagers feel the very same things Jews did in the Getto's in WWII? I can't see how both wouldn't be in absolute fear.

Would the million dead Iraqi civilians that are dead or maimed be a 'partial payment' for their 'alleged crimes against the US' Somebody recently cheered at the prospect that Gulf I was a reply from George for the bushwhack attempt on his daddy. lol .... hmmmm

[SIZE=+1]The Massacre at Qibya:[/SIZE] [SIZE=+0]14-15/10/1953 (Palestine): On the night of October 14-15, 1953 , this village was the object of a brutal "Israeli" attack which was carried out by units from the regular army as part of a pre-meditated plan and in which a variety of weapon types were used. On the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] evening of October 14, an Israeli military force estimated at about 600 soldiers[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] moved toward the village. Upon arrival, it surrounded it and cordoned it off from all of[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] the other Arab villages. The attack began with concentrated, indiscriminate artillery[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] fire on the homes in the village. This continued until the main force reached the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] outskirts of the village. Meanwhile, other forces headed for nearby Arab towns such[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] as Shuqba, Badrus and Na'lin in order to distract them and prevent any aid from[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] reaching the people in Qibya. They also planted mines on various roads so as to[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] isolate the village completely. As units of the Israeli infantry were attacking the village[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] residents, units of military engineers were placing explosives around some of the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] houses in the village and blowing them up with everyone in them under the protection[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] of the infantrymen, who fired on everyone who tried to flee. These acts of brutality[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] continued until 4:00 a.m., October 15, 1953, at which time the enemy forces[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] withdrew to the bases from which they had begun.16 There was a particular sight the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] memory of which remained in the minds of all who saw it: an Arab woman sitting on a[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] pile of debris and casting a forlorn look into the sky. From beneath the rubble one[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] could see small legs and hands which were the remains of her six children, while the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] bullet-maimed body of her husband lay in the road before her.17[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] This vicious terrorist attack resulted in the destruction of 56 houses, the village[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] mosque, the village school and the water tank which supplied it with water. Moreover,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] 67 citizens lost their lives, both men and women, with many others wounded.18[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] Terrorist Ariel Sharon, the commander of the "101" unit which undertook the terrorist[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] aggression, stated that his leaders' orders had been clear with regard to how the[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] residents of the village were to be dealt with. He says, "The orders were utterly clear:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0] Qibya was to be an example to everyone."19[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]KAFR QASEM MASSACRE:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+0]On October 29, 1956 (Palestine): the day on which Israel launched its assault on Egypt , units of Israel Frontier guards started at 4:00 PM what they called a tour of the Triangle Villages. They told the Mukhtars (Aldermen) of those villages that the curfew from that day onwards was to start from 5:00 PM instead of the usual 6:00 PM, and that the inhabitants are requested to stay home. The Mukhtar (Alderman) protested that there were about 400 villagers working outside the village and there was not enough time to inform them of the new times. An officer assured him that they will be taken care of.[/SIZE] [SIZE=+0]Meanwhile, the officers positioned themselves at the village entrance. At about 4.55 PM, unaware of the ambush awaiting them, the innocent farmers started flocking in after a hard day of work. The Israeli soldiers started stepping out of their military trucks and ordered the villagers to line up. Then the officer in charge screamed "REAP THEM," and the soldiers[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]riddled the bodies of the Palestinian villagers with bullets in cold blood. With the massacre practically over, the soldiers moved around finishing off whoever still had a pulse in him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]The government of Israel took great pains to hide the truth, but after the investigation was concluded, Ben Gurion, the Israeli Prime Minister, announced that some people in the Triangle had been injured by thefrontier guards. The press also was part of the conspiracy to cover up the incident. The Hebrew press wrote about a "mistake?" and a "misfortune" , when it mentioned the victims, and it was difficult to tell whom it meant.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+0]More absurd than the trial of accomplices was their light sentences. The court found Major Meilinki and Lt. Daham guilty of killing 43 people and sentenced the former to 17 years and the latter to 15 years. What was remarkable about the Israeli official attitude was that various authorities competed to lighten the killer's sentences. Finally, the committee for the release of prisoners ordered the remission of a third of the prison sentence of all those who were convicted. In September 1960, Daham was appointed in the municipality of the city of Ramle as officer for the Arab Affairs.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Khan Yunis Massacre:[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]3/11/1956 (Palestine): Another massacre is committed on November 3, 1956 when the Israelis occupy the town of Khan Yunis and the adjacent refugee camp. The Israelis claim that there was[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]resistance, but the refugees state that all resistance had ceased when the Israelis arrived and that all of the victims were unarmed civilians.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Many homes in Khan Yunis are raided at random. Corpses lie everywhere and because of the curfew no one could go out to bury them. (An UNRWA investigation later found that the Israelis at Khan Yunis and therefugee camp had murdered 275 civilians that day ).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]After the Israelis withdrew from Gaza under American pressure, a mass grave[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]was unearthed at Khan Yunis in March 1957. The grave contained the bodies[/SIZE]

Quote: The US had a policy to genocide the Native people of their land, the SS probably took some of their method as SOP when dealing with an unwanted population.
Try staying focused.

Same policy, the 'Merchants" brought inn the settlers to do the dirty work, rewarded then while the land was being raped (made useless) and then abandoned when it was complete, leaving the remnants of the settlers here, in graves.

Quote:Connecting Egypt to the SS is an attempt to prevent Israel being compared. All you need to do is make up a long accurate list of things the SS
and the Nazis did while rounding up all civilians from about 1930 to 1945. Compare acts committed by the US (global military acts), Israel, and Egypt, that used military type force to achieve their objectives that used methods that were used in WWII.

And still nothing compares to the acts the Nazi's perpetrated.

of So now it is the size of the massacre, if it is under 100 at a time it's allright, whoops seems like they are pushiing for that number to be pushed up to 1400 and nobody does anything

Quote: Not on the scale as Hitler's team did it but the same principle is there.
Nice back peddle and justification.

Burning down the Gov headquarters was their biggest, graffiti (posters, articles in newspapers) would be the equivalent, that is what I meant by scale.
It could be taken to mean frequency also, I don't know how that would compare, other than it would have existed.

Quote: That is another thing that should be defined a little clearer, is being a Nazi determined by the way an act is committed or based on the number of dead some act caused.
No, being a Nazi, or nazi-esque, is when you promote or support in anyway, the extermination of an entire people. As the Arab states do for Israel. As eao and yourself do, by supporting Arab states, pro terrorist regimes and so on.

I think you might be projecting past the point of reality. I can only speak for myself and you are not my spokesperson. Provide a link to a post where I have called for the extermination of the Jews. You just posted that it was a 'fact', now show the proof.
Several times I have said giving them a 'safe-zone' in the world is a great idea, the place chosen was voted on as not being safe by the 10 Nations that live right there. How odd that those same 10 have either been bought off by 'donations' from NATO countries or are classified as Israel's enemies. Would Israel come right and say because you voted against us we are going to kill you. The last 70 years is nothing to them, they would gladly fight anoter 70 if it acheived that goal.

Quote: Gathering a number of civilians together and then killing them is what a Nazi does, right?
Right, just like the Arabs want to do with the Jews.

No just like the Israeli's have done to the Arabs. Certainly the Arabs should be held accountable for their action during that same time-frame. If both sides are accountable then one side cannot say it should be forced to 'defend itself at a war-crimes trial'. Includes having people being arrestyed and locked up for the duration. Their necks are on the line.

If UN troops surrounded Washingtoom DC the people of the country would just wonder when the change in paint happened to their forces.

Quote: There are lists out there that track stuff like that, if it shows the US has killed some in that fashion does that make them capable of acting like a Nazi?
Not at all, they do not have a systematic policy of executing entire peoples.
Quote: If Israel does the same acts as they complain about being subjected to in WWII then why can it not be labeled as being Nazi like act?
Because they haven't done such a thing. As has been proven time and time again.

Jews were not the only civilians rounded up and sent to the Nazi detention/extermination/slave labor camps. Would you like a sample list of what are called Palestinian refugee camps, I believe Gaza is the largest one.

Jordan

There are ten refugee camps in Jordan. Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement gained many recruits from the residents of those overcrowded camps who launched guerilla attacks into Israel in the 1960s.[2]

[edit] Lebanon

The total number of registered refugees in Lebanon is 409,714.[1] There are 12 official camps with 225,125 refugees.
The Palestinians' Lebanese camps became ghettos as the Palestinians were barred from citizenship, finding certain jobs, or traveling abroad.[3] Some of these refugee camps, overcrowded and filled with angry refugees, helped seed the beginnings of Yasser Arafat's Fatah group; guerilla attacks on Israel were launched from some of the Palestinian camps in Lebanon.[2]
Following major armed conflict in one camp in 2007, the Lebanese government sought greater input into the rebuilding of the camp, and in the camp's ongoing management. The government wanted the ability to intervene in the future, and to exercise police powers there instead of the Palestinian armed forces that had policed the camp previously.[3]

[edit] Syria

Syria has 10 official camps with 119,776 refugees.

Additional unofficial camps in Syria:

[edit] West Bank

The West Bank has 19 official camps with 194,514 refugees.

[edit] Gaza Strip

The Gaza Strip has eight official camps with 478,854 refugees.

Quote: The same methods will be used again and again.
Yes, because people like you keep supporting the Nazi ideology.

Which post(s)would that be in? This post has you saying a Nazis is after the extermination of the Jews (alone, you didn't mention anybody but them), this statement would seem to mean you have proof that I have said I am for the extermination of all Jews. Their 'special' status has to be exterminated.
Their breaches in 'war-crimes' since October of '47 and that have never stopped even to this day should be dealt with by the 33 countries that voted for the creation of that State. The document that Canada signed said the people living there could not be up rooted by force and all land that became Israel (annexed by the UN) was to be purchased. That would include public and private land. There was no empty land, If the land did not have a person waving a 'flag' then it became part of the Nation of Palestine. When a city annexes land it is empty of people, they still purchase it from somebody, if no person can show title then it belongs to the 'rulers of the land'. That would be the trust fund that would belong to the Government of the 'now smaller' Palestine.

And so, Dear Man, perhaps you could point us to the Jewish refugee camps in Israel....the ones housing the 800,000 Jews booted out of Arab nations?

you CAN'T, because they don't exist!!!! Because Israel absorbed them, helped them, and they ceased to be refugees generations ago......

Unfortunately, the "Palestinian" refugees are such a handy club to use against Israel, a propaganda blitz to toss out to the useful idiots........find me other "refugee" camps open for SIXTY years, for God's sake.......

These are not refugees anymore. They are a lever for the Arab world to use against Israel......I've often said the Palestinian 'refugees' biggest enemy is not Israel, but the Arab world.......who only helps them hate....

Please quote where I made these claims. I've never written such trash.

We both recognize centuries of Jewish suffering, persecution and the Holocaust. I also recognize that more people died in the Nazi extermination camps than just Jews. The Nazis exterminated ethnic Poles, Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other political and religious opponents. I recognize that the Nazis exterminated between 11 million and 17 million people total in their death camps including approximately 6 million Jews.

The main difference between us, is that I recognize ongoing Palestinian suffering, oppression and injustice and you don't. I condemn Israel's ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. You deny these things happened and are happening.

You believe that Israel gets a free pass to commit atrocities today, because of the past suffering.

I believe that one atrocity does not justify another.

U.S. pushing Netanyahu to accept demands for peace talks

By Glenn Kessler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 16, 2010

In an effort to get peace talks back on track, the Obama administration is pressing Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to reverse last week's approval of 1,600 housing units in a disputed area of Jerusalem, make a substantial gesture toward the Palestinians, and publicly declare that all of the "core issues" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including the status of Jerusalem, be included in upcoming talks, U.S. officials said.

The three demands, relayed on Friday by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in a tense phone call with Netanyahu, have not been publicly disclosed by the administration. But Israel is expected to provide a formal response on Tuesday. U.S. officials are casting it as a test of Netanyahu's commitment to the relationship between the United States and Israel.

"We have to have guarantees that these kinds of things will not happen again," said a senior U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. "If he is unwilling to make that kind of commitment, it raises the questions of how committed he is to negotiations -- and it raises the question of how committed he is to the relationship between Israel and the United States."

The official said that the Obama administration views the success of the Middle East peace talks as central to the national security interests of the United States and that any failure by Netanyahu to fully embrace the talks would be viewed negatively. "He says he is serious about engaging in peace talks," the official said. "We are putting that to the test."

The administration's unusually blunt criticism of the longtime U.S. ally -- prompted by the housing announcement during Vice President Biden's visit to Israel -- has alarmed pro-Israel groups and led to criticism from some U.S. lawmakers. The administration's special peace envoy, former senator George J. Mitchell, was due to arrive in Israel early this week to launch indirect talks between the two sides, but the trip is on hold pending the Israeli response...

washingtonpost.com

The ball is in the Israeli government's court. If they don't reverse their plans to annex more of the West Bank, I suspect, the US government will take punitive measure.

Isn't international law what gave birth to the state of Israel in the first place?

The main difference between us, is that I recognize ongoing Palestinian suffering, oppression and injustice and you don't.
But you fail to acknowledge who's causing a fair share of it.
I condemn Israel's ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity. You deny these things happened and are happening.
Because you have a perverted sense of crimes against humanity and war crimes. Because you simply haven't invested the time into finding out what actually constitutes one. You are going by a knowingly incorrect definition by biased organizations.

You believe that Israel gets a free pass to commit atrocities today, because of the past suffering.
That's BS, both Colpy and I have acknowledged Israel's transgressions when warranted.

I believe that one atrocity does not justify another.
That's a lie. For if you get what you want, how will you justify the extermination of all the Jews?

The indignities suffered by Palestinians go way beyond being forced to perform like a trained monkey. The Zionist regime of Israel has dehumanized these people to the point where they no longer have fundamental human rights. These people don't even have the right to water, food, shelter or basic medicine.

Israel: End Gaza’s Humanitarian Crisis at Once
January 13, 2009

Nineteen months of a highly restrictive blockade and two weeks of intense military operations have left Gazans in desperate need of food, water, electricity, and sanitation. Medical care is woefully inadequate to deal with the thousands wounded in the fighting. Civilians have nowhere to flee the aerial and ground attacks engulfing the territory.

"Israel and Egypt need to open their borders to allow a regular flow of food, medicine and fuel into Gaza, and to evacuate those needing urgent medical care," said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch...

The Gaza Ghetto At 2010

By Avigail Abarbanel

24 February, 2010
Australiansforpalestine.com

Growing up in Israel, one of the most striking things I learned about the Holocaust was that the Nazis were not just content to kill Jews. They wanted to rob them of their human dignity, to dehumanise them. This policy was particularly evident in the way the Nazis created and ran their infamous ghettos. One of the most well-known of those was the Warsaw ghetto.

The Warsaw ghetto was created by sealing off a section of the city and trapping the Jewish population within its walls. The wall that surrounded the ghetto was 3.5 metres high and had barbed wire and broken glass at the top. It took a long time and cost a lot of money to build. The Gates were heavily guarded and the guards would shoot anyone who tried to enter or leave without permission. The policy was 'shoot to kill’ because the lives of those inside the ghetto had no value. They were walking dead, abandoned by the social rules and laws that safeguarded human rights.

The Nazis had complete control over the amount of food, water and other essentials that were allowed into the ghetto. They dictated how much and what was allowed in. Everything was rationed to create a deliberate shortage, to make sure that there wasn’t enough for everyone and that nutrition was inadequate. As a child growing up in Israel I read stories about people’s struggle to feed their children in the ghetto. I remember how horrified and guilty I felt reading a story about a mother trying to convince her reluctant daughter to eat potato peels because that’s all that was available. Although I was so young, the mother’s powerlessness in the story was very clear to me.

Naturally life within the ghetto deteriorated rapidly. With inadequate living conditions, poor sanitation, no healthcare or medicine, overcrowding, shortage of water, food and clothing, the signs began to show on the people. Disease and death were rampant. Smuggling of food and essentials into the ghetto became a vital function, at a great cost to those volunteering to do the job. The black market flourished. Competition over food turned some people ruthless as they were trying to help themselves and loved-ones survive one more day. Mental health deteriorated rapidly. The Nazis controlled the social and political organisation of the ghetto and made sure that Jews turned against one another. They created policies deliberately designed to elicit and encourage the worst traits in human nature. Some Jews stole from other Jews and some people betrayed others just to survive another day. Worst of all, they had no idea what was going to happen next, why it was done to them and when it was all going to end.

Why did the Nazis do this? Why go to all this trouble and cost, when what you really plan to do is kill them all anyway? I think the answer lies in the massive effort of Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda and in the policy of allowing outsiders to get a peek into ghetto life. Ordinary buses passed by the ghetto and people could catch a glimpse of the people living in it. They were not allowed to get too close, but they were close enough to see the filth and the deprivation. They could see how dirty and pathetic people in the ghetto appeared, how unhealthy and lost they looked.

Put any group of people under impossible conditions and very soon what we think of as human dignity begins to drop off. Dirty, poorly fed and dressed people always look like they have less dignity than those who are well groomed and well fed. In reality they do not have any less dignity but humanity has always relied a bit too much on outward appearances to make judgments about people’s character. In any case the message to outside spectators of the Warsaw ghetto was, 'You see? That’s what Jews are like. This is how they live.’

It’s well known that dehumanising people makes it easier to kill them. It also makes it easier for the killer to escape criticism. Dehumanisation can even provide an excuse for killing. It makes the job of murder seem almost desirable. The killer can be seen as helping the world rid itself of problem people that no one really wants. Of course the real reasons for killing have nothing to do with the dignity of the other. But making your victims look less human is certainly good for propaganda. It also helps to convince your own soldiers and bureaucrats that those they are killing are not as human as you, that they are therefore dangerous and don’t deserve to live.

Reading Sara Roy’s report, 'Gaza: Treading on Shards’ (17th February), I noticed that what Israel has been doing in Gaza is chillingly similar to what the Nazis did in Warsaw and in its other ghettos. I don’t think that the citizens of Gaza have any less dignity than anyone else....

What a load of crap, a lie that has consistently been proven erroneous.

Besides that, and I have no intentions of waiting for an answer, why is it all up to Israel to supply places like Gaza?

Why not Egypt?

I was referring to the 40-year time-span. Colpy seemed to be suggesting that history is erased after 40 years.
I didn't take it that way. I took it as Israel captured land in a war it didn't start. Under International law, (which the Jew haters love to misuse) Israel may claim as its own.

...which gave birth to the legal recognition of Israel.
Yep, but it was not created under international law.

It actually means you caught him telling a big fat lie and now he is backpedaling and telling another big fat lie. lol
You missed it to eh.

Not surprising at all.

Should I break it down for you, or are you comfortable in your ignorance?

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Unfortunately, history is often not erased after 400 years, in the case of Palestine not after 2,000 years.

My point was that East Jerusalem was annexed by Israel, that it was formerly a territory of Jordan, a nation that DID attack Israel in the Six Day War.....all this area is disputed territory, with claims that go back 2,000 years, over territory that has changed hands dozens of times.....to the extent that the only recognized claim that can be rationally arrived at is the claim of possession.

East Jerusalem is part of Israel. That was my only point.
