Man; who let this kid off the reservation?

Your mother doesn't let you walk with scissors in your hand I hope.

Your anti-semitism knows no boundaries whatsoever and yet you still attempt to engage in sane conversation with humans?

I love semites stupid. Israelis are the worlds second worst semite murderers right after other semites. I bet you're not as human as they told you .

Sorry EAO and other Iranian apologists, but in the Iran vs Israel argument, it boils down to one key issue: one country thinks the other has no right to exist while the other thinks the first shouldn't have the Bomb. Guess which one I side with?

I guess you must have missed this post to be so far off the mark:

...Iran is an oppressive religious state with an abysmal human rights record. I oppose Iran's discrimination based on religion, gender and sexual orientation. They have the death penalty. So I also don't support Canada having close relations with Iran.

I also find holocaust denial objectionable, but diversionary. Certainly Iran has more than a few Holocaust deniers. But they are words, not actions. Regarding the Holocaust, I believe it happened and that millinos of Jews, Roma, Slavs, Russian POWs, Jehovah Witnesses... perished in Nazi death camps. But I also support the right of historians to research these events and publish peer reviewed papers without harassment.

Both Iran and Israel practice religious based discrimination... just different religions, but the same kind of hate from my agnostic perspective. Both Israel and Iran have called for the other's down fall and neither side has threatened the other's genocide... despite distortions by Israel and their supporters to the contrary.

Israel possesses nukes and could vaporize Iran.

Iran possesses sufficient conventional weapons to vaporize Israel back, without resorting to WMDs.

Iran's human rights record is abysmal. They oppress women and homosexuals almost as badly as Saudi Arabia and a few other countries in the region.....

You stated that Israel had the worst Human right record in the region. Any proof there Bucky

I trust Nobel Peace Laureate Amnesty International to give me an unbiased and fair assessment of a country's human rights record. I stand by what I said. Israel has a worse human rights record than Iran. Its not that Iran's record is good, but that Israel's human rights record is so bad.

Israel
The Israeli authorities continued to blockade the Gaza Strip, prolonging the humanitarian crisis there, and to restrict the movement of Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the authorities continued to construct the fence/wall, much of it on Palestinian land, and to expand settlements, breaching international law. They demolished Palestinian homes and other facilities in the West Bank, and homes of Palestinian citizens inside Israel, especially in “unrecognized” villages in the Negev. The Israeli army frequently used excessive, sometimes lethal force against demonstrators in the West Bank and civilians in border areas within the Gaza Strip. Israeli military forces killed 55 civilians in the OPT, including 11 children. Settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank increased, and three Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers. Israeli settlers and soldiers accused of committing abuses against Palestinians generally escaped accountability. The authorities failed to conduct independent investigations into alleged war crimes by Israeli forces during Operation “Cast Lead” in 2008-2009. The Israeli authorities arrested thousands of West Bank Palestinians. More than 307 were administrative detainees held without charge or trial; others received prison terms following military trials. Israel held more than 4,200 Palestinian prisoners at the end of 2011. Reports of torture and other ill-treatment of detainees continued.

Iran
Freedom of expression, association and assembly were severely restricted. Political dissidents, women’s and minority rights activists and other human rights defenders were arbitrarily arrested, detained incommunicado, imprisoned after unfair trials and banned from travelling abroad. Torture and other ill-treatment were common and committed with impunity. Women as well as religious and ethnic minorities faced discrimination in law and in practice. At least 360 people were executed; the true total was believed to be much higher. Among them were at least three juvenile offenders. Judicial floggings and amputations were carried out.

Canada
There were continuing systematic violations of the rights of Indigenous Peoples. Limited progress was made in addressing concerns about human rights violations associated with counter-terror and policing operations.

Amnesty International’s annual global human rights report for 2011 has slammed Israel’s human rights record both in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The report, which described the human rights revolutions across the Middle East and North Africa as “inspirational”, has condemned Israel’s conduct in multiple areas including the justice system, the Gaza blockade, human rights accountability, housing demolitions and settlement activity, torture and excessive use of force, freedom of movement and freedom of speech.
Israeli Human Rights Record Slammed In Amnesty International's Annual Human Rights Report - International Middle East Media Center

How many Israeli bombs are hidden in western capitals? That's why they all kiss the Israeli ass. mortal fear is not undying love
Psst! DB, your nuts are showing.

Man; who let this kid off the reservation?
I'm deeply offended by that remark.

We usually throw that kind of trash off the rez.

Israelis are the worlds second worst semite murderers right after other semites.
At least you admit they aren't the first, lol.

I bet you're not as human as they told you .
We know you aren't as bright as they told you.

He was bang on the mark.

Of course.

Even though I've proven their bias on numerous occasions.

Ooops....wrong............................................this time;-)
So it was medium sized, no big deal.

I said the Israel has a worse human rights record than Iran. Amnesty International's annual report supports that statement.

Somalia and The Sudan are worse than Israel. But Canada doesn't unshakably support Somalia and The Sudan.

BTW, what is your stand on torturing children? The US and Israel both do this with the unshakable support of the Canadian government. I'm against torturing children:

Amnesty International and other organizations have documented recent cases of minors being subjected to torture or other ill-treatment, for instance the case of Islam Dar Ayyoub, 14, of al-Nabi Saleh in the West Bank, arrested on 23 January 2011. Moreover, the testimony of Islam Dar Ayoub was ruled by a military judge to be admissible as evidence in the case against Bassem Tamimi, the organiser of protests in al-Nabi Saleh, whom Amnesty International considers to be a prisoner of conscience, held solely on account of his peaceful exercise of his freedom of expression in organizing non-violent protests against the encroachment of Israeli settlers onto Palestinian land. Amnesty International is concerned that evidence obtained through torture and other ill-treatment of witnesses is deemed admissible in court.


Wonderful... Torturing a confession out of a 14 year old so they could arrest the boy's non-violent father... Do you support this?

AI has been proven to be bias and unethical. Anyone that uses their findings in any way, is equally unethical and shows a serious bias.

A group I might add, that you use or ignore, depending on what country they're aiming at.

AI is the definitive source of objective human rights information.

We are gratified that the Nobel Committee should see fit to award the 1977 Peace Prize to the 168,000 individuals in 107 countries who comprise the active members and supporters of Amnesty International. I am here in their name. We are gratified for this acknowledgement that the concern for peace and the promotion of human rights are inseparable. Peace is not to be measured by the absence of conventional war, but constructed upon foundations of justice. Where there is injustice, there is the seed of conflict. Where human rights are violated, there are threats to peace....
