That's cute. You post how people are just big ol' meanie heads to you when you criticise Israel or Jews, and I'M the one whining?

*snicker*


Show me where I said anything of the sort. I'll wait for you to scour the site for stated whine. Tell you right now though, you won't find it.

and once again, your stupidity shines through.

It 's a good idea.
Bigot. :p

Seriously, though, folks, who cares? I don't know anybody who owns anything to come out of the occupied zone. Jimmy's statement is more about not supporting illegal occupation. Polarization of anything to do with Israel is just plain silly. How come humanitarian views don't apply to Israel? What magic spell is there that allows Israel to do WhateverTF it wants. Is it western guilt for having turned a blind eye to what Hitler was doing or for turning away the ship of fools? Israel is a country, Jews are a people, Zionism is a political movement. They are not synonymous.

I think if the Palestinians stopped allowing themselves to be used by countries like Iran and quit targeting civilians with suicide bombings there might be a lot less sympathy for Israel and a lot more support for Palestine.

Ummm, I'm not really sure that the settlements in the West Bank are "illegal". People may be p'd that they're there but "illegal" I'm not that sure. Sez who?? The World Court?? That's laughable if true not unlike the UN.

Just wondering...... I obviously need "enlightenment"

It's the WEST BANK
they are not supposed to settle there, therefore it's illegal, the group condemning it was set up by Nelson Mandela in 2007 to broker peace in the area, but what's a few goods at the expense of a few lives right?

they can continue to make the goods it's just certain EU countries are now coming together to label the goods so that people have a choice as to how they choose to support the settling

this isn't about hating Carter because he's a Democrat nor being against Jews it's about the powder keg in the area and how to best save lives

If more people held the victimized Palestinians to account they might buck up and get back to Peace Talks. Twice they had almost everything they wanted and twice they walked away. First under Yassar Arafat, then when they elected Hamas as their Government.
