Thanks for your clarification. Sadly, one need only listen to any recent news conference that President Bush has had, or Prime Minister Blair, or Prime Minister Howard, and others, to know that huge numbers of people do blame recent attacks on our action in Iraq, or on the Israeli-Palestinian struggle, or on our failure to "understand" the "root causes" of jihadism. Or on any combination of these and other excuses.
The Western Left has made common cause with the jihadists, and are actively helping them through the use of public relations tools.
I believe that was 1997 or 98, whichever but it was a year after the crash of TWA flight 800, which for all the claims of mechanical failure, i think a raghead brought it down with an RPG...
Look at this list.
Exactly. It is a part of their religion and their "bible" that commands them to kill or convert the infidels (which, by the way, is ANY non-muslim).
What the hell is so difficult to understand here?
Nonsense. You don't know what you are talking about. The whole post is less than 148 kb. That's smaller than the main post with the tables which is 152 kb.
The reason I don't link it and posted it in its entirety is so that people can get a feel for just how much Israel has suffered at the hand of the Palestinian terrorists. Taking a quick glance at a link is not the same as having to scroll down through it all.
Besides are you really complaining that a simple list of Israeli men, women, and children killed by terrorists is bogging your ISP down? Maybe you don't realize how petty that sounds. I'm sure there were some people who lived near Auschwitz that complained about all the smoke too.
The government needs to do more of this. I plan to agitate for a revival of the Civil Defense Corps.
You're welcome, Jackknife.
guess i am just a little bit pissed after Blair left them out--i think it's time the west stops being so damn PC and cow towing to the farkin muslims and stop forget them (could be one of the best allies if we unleashed them).it's them us and the rest of the west against islam--wake up world
I agree about Israel and would also include Southern Thailand.
Neutrality would be no guarantee of not being attacked and destroyed.
Thanks for your clarification. I haven't heard any Blair of Howard press conferences. If they're anything like our press conferences, our press and our left then it is sad, and dangerous.
Go to this page and under "Thread Pagination" select "20 messages per page" and any high bandwidth posts will be isolated and contained on a different page every 20 posts. That way when you are in a thread it will only load a maximum of 20 posts and you can browse much more quickly. OK?
i think you do NOT know your in a world war untill some years into it--witness ww1+2(i.e china in 1933 -38 etc)
Amen to your post! Yes, we are in a world war, and it is time we all realized it.
With all due respect, FreedomCalls, this thread was never intended to be strictly about the Iraeli-Palestinian conflict. I think most reasonable and reasoned people know quite well how much Israel has suffered.
What part of this next statement do you not understand?
For too long, Israel has stood alone on the front lines of a worldwide jihadist war. She should never stand alone again.
In my article, I chose to focus on the worldwide aspects of this war. I chose -- for a specific purpose. I researched a list of REPRESENTATIVE attacks around the world, including several in Israel and against Israelis elsewhere, to show the worldwide scope of war. For you and anyone else to try to force the focus solely on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, or to subtly imply worse, is insulting to me. I have been patient and understanding about it. But your statement which I quote below crosses a line.
Besides are you really complaining that a simple list of Israeli men, women, and children killed by terrorists is bogging your ISP down? Maybe you don't realize how petty that sounds. I'm sure there were some people who lived near Auschwitz that complained about all the smoke too.
More importantly, to insist on limiting the scope of one's viewpoint about this war to just the Israeli context is a monumental mistake at the very moment in history when, at long last, others are waking up to the worldwide threat of jihadism.
I agree completely.
Whatever I can do to help, please let me know. That's a most worthy cause, Wolfstar.
