Stop coddling the Palestinians--they're bloodthirsty bigots who would exterminate the Jews

BTTT.

Many Jews died at the hands of Arabs.

And let us NOT forget the Muslim division of Hitler's SS, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, and this was BEFORE there was an Israel.

You ignore history in your posts.

A longer version of this article appeared in Salon....here it is.....

It's not just Hamas, by Norah Vincent

[Michael2001]

We seem to have a communication problem. If 70% of Americans support Israel compared to 10% for the Palestinians, and 90% of Americans consider themselves Christians, how can the majority of American Christians support the Palestinians? This isn't Calculus, it's simple math, you don't have to be a genius to figure it out.

And just an FYI, just because someone claims to represent an entire religion, does not mean he speaks for that entire religion.

[Michael2001]

No, this poll if I remember right was done by Zogby (who is Arab)

[Bush2000]

Agree totally with the sentiments of this article. The United States and Israel should be marching lockstep on this issue. After all, the Palestinians virtually invented terrorism and they're not afraid of using it as a weapon against both Israel and westerners in the interests of advancing their agenda. Notice how, even after Bush administration staffers floated the notion of a Palestinian state last month, Hamas turned up the heat even more by bombing dozens of Israeli civilians? These people aren't interested in peace. They're interested in destroying the Israelis and taking back all of their land. Frankly, I think we should give them maximum opportunity to die for their cause.

A cursory read on the subject with an open mind paints the Jews as MAJORLY bad guys.

Wow, anyone with an open mind (you have one?) knows Jews as MAJORLY bad guy. Gee, what should we do about this? What do you do when you meet a Jew (one of those bad guys)?

[SJackson]

Wow

You said and I quoted: A cursory read on the subject with an open mind paints the Jews as MAJORLY bad guys.

I said (in shock at your clear hostility to Jews, the "majorly bad guys"): Wow, anyone with an open mind (you have one?) knows Jews as MAJORLY bad guy. Gee, what should we do about this? What do you do when you meet a Jew (one of those bad guys)?

To which you sedately respond, I do have an open mind about the subject. You may be too stupid, or bigotted to recognize that. Don't mistake ill-informed on a subject for closed minded-ness. Furthermore, go F__k yourself if you can't add anything constructive.

OK, lets start from the beginning (that's the top)

You said Jews (like me) are "majorly bad guys". Ok, lots of people have said that, mostly America's enemies.

I ask you to expound on that, and all you can do is accuse me of being stupid, bigotted, illinformed, and closed minded, and tell me to go *uck myself.

Stupid, bigotted, illinformed, closed minded. Want to see that, read your post, or go look in a mirror.

You will never see Americans dancing in the streets when innocent civilians are killed. There are no people with greater hearts than Americans - truly God's blessed people.

As far as the Jewish position on this is concerned, every Passover, we celebrate our freedom from the slavery of the Egyptians. During one part of the seder, we name the ten plagues that God visited upon the Egyptians, and, for each plague, we dip our fingers in the wine and leave a drop on a plate to represent our tears at how the Eypgtians suffered. We weep for them.

For over three thousand years, each year, without interruption, we have wept for our enslavers. For 1,500 years before Mohammad was born, we have been civilized, and a thousand years after Islam ceases to exist, we will be civilized. We will weep for all those Muslims who have come and gone.

Israelis, like Americans, fight in defense. Leave Americans alone, and we will leave you alone. Leave Israelis in peace, and they will leave you in peace. Fight Americans or fight Israelis, and you will be defeated. And we will weep for you.

You sound quite ignorant. Why don't you start trying to educate yourself? You could start by reading "From Time Immemorial - The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict Over Palestine" by Joan Peters. If your mind is up to it that is. Israel only has one quarter of the landed originally mandated to it as the Jewish homeland. Three quarters of it was partitioned off and became Jordan. You also might find of interest (if you are actually capable of reading of course) the collusion between the Arabs and the British, the Arabs and Hitler, etc., etc. You will also learn that the "Palestinians" are nothing but frauds. They were planted by the f_____, arrogant Arabs because they needed a weapon against Israel. The people who are currently the "Palestinians" could very, very easily been absorbed into any number of Arab countries.

"an excellent historial piece published by the United Nations...(whatever)". You believe the United Nations? Maybe the Israeli's were being a bit aggressive in the late 1940's because they had just established their country (finally) and the "Palestinians" started trying to kill them off right away. Like I said before...read that book. A bit academic for you I suppose but give it a try anyway. That's a good lad.

I am simply amazed the he could use Palestinian and Democracy it the same paragraph!

We are not occuping anybody and our President has not commited any crimes against humanity. There is a difference between fighting terrorists and trying to stop people fighting for their freedom from a brutal occupation.

There is no such thing as a free Muslim Arab country, so your statement is preposterous on its face.
