1. Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, and even Iran all have elections. And just like the US, sometimes the results are in question. But more often than not, people like you keep pontificating about democracy, as long as the results suit you, and not the actual people living there. Israel is no rule of law oasis there. They use unarmed Palestinian women for target practice just within the past couple of days. If this is your idea of rule of law, then it is truly twisted.
2. Got any facts and figures, or am I just supposed to go on your say-so?
3. We have seen what happens against an unarmed Arab country with peace loving Israel. Lebanon was almost bombed back to the stone age. Look at Palestine....war crimes by the Israeli regime on a daily basis against a relatively unarmed, captive population. Sorry Colpy, but there is no truth whatsoever to your 3rd fallacy.
4. What that tells me is that, as you mentioned earlier, Israel accepts all Jewish people with open arms, and that is where many choose to go.
It is truly sad that you delude yourself into justifying any number of dead, by laying the blame on Lebanese patriots, and not the unwarranted aggressive acts of a regime that cares not one iota for civilian life if it is an Arab one.
Hang on, you wait right there, I'm folding up a tin foil hat for you right now.The UN compound was in touch with the IDF at the time of the bombing, about 10 times, warning the Israelis they were getting too close ot the clearly marked UN building. But Israel used laser-guided precision missiles/bombs and killed them anyways. you see, they beauty of a laser-guided missile is that there is no mistake. It hits exactly where it is intended to hit.
One wonders exactly what Israeli atrocities the unarmed UN observers saw, that had Israel so worried that they had to murder them.
The writer Passner is a pure propagandist, Colpy. It's like trying to sift through the filth and lies of Goebbels. It would take a lifetime to do, and so the shorthand solution is to address it for the worthless crap it is. If you choose to follow crap, and absorb it into your brain as fact, well, then that pretty much tells you what your head is filled with
If you can come up with an unbiased source (your ilk never really can, can it?) then that is one thing, but to spout propagand as fact merely displays to the readers of this forum, your ignorance. Apparently it may be a willing ignorance, and not accidental at all.
End of story. Why won't Israel do that? There is a total peace offer on the table, right now. If the Arab people were set on killing all Jewish people, there would be no peace offer in existence. Sorry if that fact rocks your delusional existence.
I see that the mods have banned Researcher despite the fact that he backed up his posts with links. By contrast, the mods have permitted certain right wingers to remain on the forum even though they do not back up their claims with proofs and resort to endless name calling and insults. Researcher and I have been subjected to innumerable insults but nothing is done by the mods to stop it. Why the double standard?
Lebanon has elections, yes, over the last couple of years, but they have until very recently been a puppet regime of Syria, one of the worst human rights offenders on earth. AND Lebanon has no control over the south, which is run by Hezbollah. Iran has elections, and you can even run in them, but only if you are approved by the Mullahs. I'm not sure about Egypt, they may have elections that reasonably represent democracy. They are also at peace with Israel.
The Israelis that fired at the women were trying to prevent the escape of Hamas militants who were hiding among them. Personally, I don't think they fired enough, as the militants escaped. When you voluntarily shield my enemy, you become my enemy. BTW, at least one of the militants was dressed as a woman.
The missing Israeli soldiers were invited to a party in Lebanon, and went willingly?
Israel abandoned Gaza to the Palestinians, as it abandoned southern Lebanon to Hezbollah, only to have both places turn into launch pads for attacks on Israel.........that is reality that can't be denied.......
Hezbollah is determined to at least destroy Israel, and would prefer to kill every Jew on earth......something you refuse to address.
AND you never addressed the FACT that Israel restrained itself very much in last summer's confict........I'll say it again, ghad Israel NOT cared about the death of civilians, they would have killed 10 or 100 THOUSAND Lebanese, not 16 or 17 hundred.
Hang on, you wait right there, I'm folding up a tin foil hat for you right now.
Bull****.
She has FOOTNOTED the piece. To counter it, you have to show where she lies. I could say "everything you read is Arab propaganda" That means nothing. Intellectual laziness. Either do the work, or shut up.
As I've already said, there are no unbiased sources.............as for ignorance, I sit in awe of your mastery of ignorance.
Ok, so she's a pro-Israel propagandist shill that USES footnotes. Ooooh, that makes her fiction more believable.
Colpy has already hinted that I am on my way out.
Perhaps a disinformation specialist like Colpy
I replied to a long post of his with detailed facts refuting his stated fantasies. That reply of mine is not yet been released. I have emailed this forum asking if it will be released. No answer as of yet. Perhaps the moderator is very busy doing other things. These things happen
You can only hope to tell the truth, but if it is not wanted, then there isn't much one can do. You just have to keep trying to get the truth out, because you sure as hell are not going to get it form the likes of Colpy, Sassylassie, the National Post, or any mainstream media outlet.
Ok, so she's a pro-Israel propagandist shill that USES footnotes. Ooooh, that makes her fiction more believable.
Ah, finally i see a glimmer of hope for you yet. I may yet turn you into a kind, caring, loving human being, concerned for your fellow man, even if they aren't white like you.
The key phrase is there are no unbiased sources. If that is true, then why do you state that your biased sources are truthful, yet other sources that actually do speak the truth, are not worthy of merit?
Is it because the "other" side speaks up for non-white people? Is that what really bothers you? Colpy, please tell me that your not a closet-KKK type, cuz that is the vibe you are giving off. Correct me if I'm wrong. And no, having a maid of a different race and a gardener of yet another race does not make you a humanitarian.
Ya now that link took me to a source that is so credible, are you kidding?10 times they pleaded with the Israeli's to stop bombing....only to get a lser-guided bomb in their exact location. These were unarmed UN observers. One of them was Canadian.

Make sure you make that tin foil cap snug and tight....it appears that your ilk are the ones that need them. The rest of us just tell it like it is.
Once again a blatant falsehood. You may not insult directly, but you drop your age and begin saying things like "next" and "owned" in big bold letters or call us "reich" wingers, like a child losing a game, as if it might help your platform. I take serious offence to being called a nazi. I also firmly believe that you have little to no idea of what a nazi is. But you are a closer match to it then I, or Colpy.... just cuz you say it, doesn't make it so. We need some facts here, please. Which leader? When was it said? How was it verified? Which Israeli atrocity caused that statement to be made, if it was made at all? Facts and cites please.
Once again, how about some facts please? Got an url? A cite? Back this up, please.
Got any support for this? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I would be extremely suspect of a Hezbollah action outside of its immediate geographic sphere. It would make no sense. Sounds like another Mossad false flag operation.
I never insult, Colpy. I just call it like I see it. I await a debate, but just posting things you feel like saying, without any factual basis or support, does not make you a master debater, regardless of how you may wish to picture yourself as one.
We are all at the mercy of a forum's moderator. Some of us more so than others.
I am still waiting for you to post a fact, supported by an unbiased source. From what I have read in here by you, at least in this thread, you have yet to start debating.
I see that the mods have banned Researcher despite the fact that he backed up his posts with links. By contrast, the mods have permitted certain right wingers to remain on the forum even though they do not back up their claims with proofs and resort to endless name calling and insults. Researcher and I have been subjected to innumerable insults but nothing is done by the mods to stop it. Why the double standard?
Well, I'd actually like to withdraw that comment. You seem to have maintained the minimum level of decorum required. In your first posts, I actually thought your insults and abuse would get you junked. You've toned it down, and no one gets chucked here unless they are VERY abusive. ...
Yeah right, we should all subscribe to the Tinfoil Daily News to read about alien statues on Mars emitting rays to control the mainstream media to be sympathetic to the Jews, who are secretly preparing the planet for their invasion...............or whatever.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
Me?
I'm just a simple workin' man. Don't have no servants.
And I hate lunatic white right-wing racist/genocidal organizations like the KKK, or Aryan Nations, etc.
I also hate lunatic non-white racist/genocidal organizations like Hezbollah and Hamas.............
so who is the racist unconcerned with the state of humanity?
Ya now that link took me to a source that is so credible, are you kidding?
Here's a transcript from an email from Hess-von Kruedner, the CDN Soldier killed in that bombing run, to retired Major General Lewis MacKenzie. These are his words, not the propoganda of some Muslim PR web site.
''What I can tell you is this,'' ''We have on a daily basis had numerous occasions where our position has come under direct or indirect fire from both (Israeli) artillery and aerial bombing."
''The closest artillery has landed within 2 meters (sic) of our position and the closest 1000 lb aerial bomb has landed 100 meters (sic) from our patrol base. This has not been deliberate targeting, but rather due to tactical necessity.''
''What that means is, in plain English, 'We've got Hezbollah fighters running around in our positions, taking our positions here and then using us for shields and then engaging the (Israeli Defence Forces),'
''The most important thing in combat these days, funnily enough, is not to win the firefight but to win the information battle and the PR battle,''
Now please if you want to counter this piece of legitemate proof, you are going to have to find something a lil more credible then an Arabic or Muslim PR group.
Once again a blatant falsehood. You may not insult directly, but you drop your age and begin saying things like "next" and "owned" in big bold letters or call us "reich" wingers, like a child losing a game, as if it might help your platform. I take serious offence to being called a nazi. I also firmly believe that you have little to no idea of what a nazi is. But you are a closer match to it then I, or Colpy.
You completely ignore our links and proof, or you claim they are irrelivant because it is not worthy source for you, yet you continuously post links to Muslim PR firms. And claim it to be fact.
You create alot of your own issues. If you would stop dismissing everything put forth as pure trash, when you know it is not, and you stopped acting like a child when you start to lose your case, people would not likely digress to your level and start calling you names.
A little un biased reading on your part might go along way to lift your status among us.
It may also surprise you, that I will miss Researcher, but the factsthat you claim were posted by Re, are hardly objective. Wikipedia is hardly a source for journalism or current events in the ME. It is accusations like that, that are tantammount to insulting peoples intellegence, that get you called names.
The differen between the KKK and other groups you know the names of, versus Hezbollah and Hamas, is that the latter 2 are patriots. The local Resistance as it were.
You never heard the French Resistance of WWII referred to as French racists, did you? They were patriotic local resistance fighters, figting for the freedom of their country against a foreign oppressor, in the exact same way and veing that Hamas and Hezbollah are doing.
To claim otherwise is Orwellian doublespeak, and a deliberate misinterpretation of known facts.
Once again I would like to respectfully ask for proof OBL, planned the attacks from a cave?This, coming from the guy that says Israel is out of Gaza and Lebanon, and quite likely believes that the US is out of Iraq in much the same fashion.
I'll bet you that you're the type that also believes that that a cave dweller in Afghanistan and 19 Arabs with box cutters could defeat the multi-billion dollar, state-of-the-art, U.S. Air Force and national defense establishment, not just once, but four times on a single day.
Talk about conspiracy theorists. You guys take the cake.
Once again I would like to respectfully ask for proof OBL, planned the attacks from a cave?
As the plans were being hatched, he lived the life of a God in Afghanistan, he was a freedom fighting hereo, from the Russian Afghan war.
Your grasp of history, leaves a little to be desired, even the UN acknowledges the withdrawl from the disputed areas. If you like I can give you links to the facts, I highly doubt you'll ask though. Facts do not seem to agree with you, or you with them.
