Corey Johnson, gay HIV-positive speaker of the City Council, finds councilman Yeger's statement that there is no such thing as a country called Palestine to be "dehumanizing to Palestinians and divisive" and therefore "has no place in NYC." Yo, Johnson--what about remarks about JEWS which were made by the likes of Sharpton? Were they not "dehumanizing"? How about the antisemitic rants by Linda "The Cockroach" Sarsour? Those OK with you? How about Palestinians blowing themselves up to kill Jews? Aren't they dehumanizing themselves?

Soooo typical of a libtard, this Johnson. Takes murderers to his breast and defends them against the simple truth. Has no tolerance for differing points of view, which are in this case absolutely correct. There is no such thing as a Palestinian state. And you are a political, as well as social, whore. Enjoy your HIV, you stinking vile animal.

There is no race called “Palestinian” either. They are from surrounding countries.

Well you did a great job there!

And YES, Al Sharpton is responsible for Jewish deaths, Korean deaths, the utter DESTRUCTION of some nice Greek and Italian boys’ lives with the tawana brawley INSANITY!

Rudy did not talk to sharpton ONCE while he was in office. He THREW arafat out of, I think it was, a theater.

Even Bloomberg was good on these issues.

But now the insanity is back. Perhaps even worse.

SMH.

I’m glad there water between staten island and brooklyn.

Intolerance. Tyranny of the majority. What’s wrong with diversity of opinion?

I was channel surfing and left it on the Game Show channel for a few hours of background noise while I was working on spreadsheets... Match Game 76, several episodes... I was struck by how many things that were said or done would have gotten the show cancelled or someone fired today... and these were happening pretty much every 10-60 seconds. We have truly allowed the control freaks to define public behaviors and which opinions may be expressed in public.

I was also struck by the number of Biblical references in that show, as well as the show Password (caught 2 episodes of that as well). At least 4 in the 3 hours overall... how many casual Biblical references in game shows these days??

What a crock of shite! In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

This example is just one more proof that education today stinks. Anybody researching whether there is country called “Palestine” will find that there is not, no matter how many people want to believe there is.

If this abhorrent abomination doesn’t wake up those Christians and Jews who are still voting Dimocrap, nothing can. And to think wemany of us anyway, once believed “!it can’t happen in America.” Is is happening. Right now. Alas!

The councilman should sue the Chairman and the Council and bring in the top experts on the history of the Middle East to show that “Palestine” as an independent state ever existed.

They will show all the history books before 1947 as HAVING NO STATE OF PALESTINE>

THey will show NO official newspaper(s) for the state of Palestine.

They will show no STAMPS for the Republic or whatever of Palestine, only those issued under the name of the British Mandate of Palestine. I have some in my collection.

They will show that there never was a “Palestinian” Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.

They WILL SHOW that Jews have lived continually in Jerusalem, the Br. Mandate of Palestine, the Ottoman Turk’s Empire, Roman Empire, Persian Empire, etc. as Jews in a land called “Eretz Yisrael” (Land of Israel) for thousands of years despite all the conquests and reconquests, etc.

Some blood tests will show that the so-called Palestinians are a mixture of other Arab subgroups who lived in the region, esp. the Arabian peninsula, Egypt, the old Syrian Empire, the Roman Empire, etc. There is no “PALESTINIAN GENE” (except for the guy who sells Babaganoush at his falafel stand in Ramallah.

Your honor: I rest my case.

His Honor: Case dismissed. You get an “A” in history.

Before he leaves he should mention that there is no Kurdistan but there are Kurds. There are Pashtuns but no Pashtunistan, only Afghanistan.

Actually he should make the point that Palestine is a word invented by the Romans to insult the Jews who rebelled against Roman rule. It is derived from the Philistines, the biblical enemies of the Jews. In this age of cultural grievance-crises he could claim that mention of “Palestine” is an affront to the Jewish people, a fact that does not escape the Palestinian people themselves, until the day that a Palestinian state comes to exist and accept Israel and Jewish national sovereignty.

Oh, and remind them that Reagan ended the Cold War by defrosting the Soviet Union and all this Russia hysteria is counter-productive. While we can count on Russia to pursue it’s own national interests, we’d do a lot better pursuing detente, perestroika and glasnost with Russia instead of pushing them into the arms of the Chinese communists and the Iranian-Syrian-Turkish bloc. Despite their many internal issues, Russians are white, westernized Christian nation - which to some on the left is all the reason to look at them with disdain - but for all intents and purposes they are European and with plenty of common interests and economic inter-dependency with Europe, and by proxy with the US.
