I tend to agree with my president, that all peoples yearn for freedom, and yes, Virginia, that would include Palestinians............


How sappy is that? By now any thinking person knows that the only "freedom" the Pallies want is destruction of Israel. That it's a religious war agaisnt the Jews. That they don't want just the West Bank and Gaza. You are either evil or supremely naive.

You're a misinformed dupe. I'll repeat....slowly this time. Read....an.....unbiased....history....of.....the.... conflict.

Tell me one that you've read and I'll take a look at it. I peg you as a liar and bluffer who has never read one. In exchange you have to read "From Time Immemorial"

I'm Astonished that you're giving a passin pilgrim of a Harvard Man from Kudzu Flats a jauntybeesting here. :o)

It takes all kinds.

I probably should have stuck to 100 greatest rock guitarists thread.

"Yes, because they unilaterally turned over South Lebanon"

I like that -- "turned over". Israel withdrew their troops, ending twenty years of military occupation.

Rockets were being fired from Lebanon before Israel moved out, as you well know. Is South Lebanon the only source of rockets? You would have me believe that the only reason rockets are fired at Israel is because Israel stops occupying that territory?

What do you mean, "WHICH Palestinians do you propose to turn over the land?" They're all evil in your mind, they're all equally culpable in your mind, they're all sub-human (according to dennisw"), so what difference does it make?

I guess you don't want to answer my question of, "So you're saying that Israel would be less safe if they turned over the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians?".

I'll also avoid any debate about the nature of Islam. My beef was with your desire to nuke some cities. In my opinion, using nuclear weapons would set off a apocalypse that would make anything Islamic terrosits do seem like playground antics.

"but to accept that it is really "them or us" and we are embarked upon a life or death struggle."

I'm a little slow this morning -- haven't yet had my quota of coffee. Please spell out exactly what you mean by the above statement so I can understand your position.

You're the one who used the term "turned over" in relation to Gaza and the West Bank.

You would have me believe that the only reason rockets are fired at Israel is because Israel stops occupying that territory?

No, that's the exact opposite of my point. I'm saying that South Lebanon got its territory back -- so why are they still attacking Israel? Why should Israel believe, then, that attacks from Gaza and the West Bank will stop if they give THOSE territories back?

They're all evil in your mind, they're all equally culpable in your mind, they're all sub-human (according to dennisw"), so what difference does it make?

On what basis do you come to that conclusion? Again, that's the exact opposite of what I believe. IF you want to discuss this with dennisw, discuss it with him. I thought you were discussing this with me.

I guess you don't want to answer my question of, "So you're saying that Israel would be less safe if they turned over the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians?".

Twice now I've said, yes, I'm saying Israel would be less safe if they turned over the West Bank and Gaza. Are you even reading my responses? If you want to have a solo rant instead of an exchange, that's fine. Just let me know and I'll stop responding.

I'll recommend "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict", by Norman Finkelstein.

[dennisw]

Your man is a sicko. Few years back I sent him a mild e-mail asking him one question. I did mention I was Jewish. The deranged e-mail I got back had the words nazi and f**k in them.

[dennisw]

Finklestein was calling me a Jewish nazi. This was his answer to a mild question.

Finklestein was calling me a Jewish nazi. This was his answer to a mild question.

If your posts to me are indicative of the manner in which you approached Mr. Finkelstein, a hostile response would not be surprising. Perhaps he's not a battle hardened Freeper. :o)
