STRANGE SYMBIOSIS – ISRAEL & ANTI-SEMITISM

Yet another Al Sharptonite! Justin has long opposed any and all taxpayers aid to Egypt or Saudi Arabia. According to the loose standards used here, that would make him more "anti-Arab" than most of his opponents on this thread.

Regarding your link- An extremely enjoyable read. Most of the article is a pleasant journey void of politics and opinion. I thought his comment near the beginning was appropriate regardless of the circumstances:

"Self-interest at its healthiest implicitly recognizes the self-interest of others, and therein lies the possibility of compromise -- and realism. A moral position admits few compromises. That's some of what I took away from Israel."

Thanks.

Actually, "goy" means nation, "goyim" means nations. The Bible applies the word to both Israel and other nations-- with Israel being singled out as "goy kodesh"- a "Holy Nation." The term is not offensive.

Unfortunately the term is offensive, as many perceptive individuals can pick up on.

There is a Hebrew word "goi" that means nation, but the modern term "goy" comes from Yiddish.

From The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.

NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. goy·im (goim) or goys

Offensive Used as a disparaging term for one who is not a Jew.

ETYMOLOGY: Yiddish, from Hebrew gôy, Jew ignorant of the Jewish religion, non-Jew. See gwy in Appendix II.

Actually, to be more accuate I should have said "...the term may be offensive...".

Wiley. Wiley. Wiley. You are such a sad, pathetic soul, I can't possibly use the material you just gave me to smack you with. It would be cruel. Please stop this. I hope you find your way soon. But it won't be by following in the footsteps of the likes of Justin. Use some of the ferver you use insulting people to educate yourself. What you have seen here is classic and deliberate deconstruction of the truth revised to fit an Aryan agenda. Do you really want to be considered a skinhead or a neonazi? Because THAT is the agenda you are defending.
Has it occurred to you that the two most virulent posters, madrussian and CommiesOut come from Communist backgrounds? And that the preposterous article which started this thread was by a flaming queen whose b*tchiness is far worse than any woman scorned? For once, THINK about what and who you defend. They are not *America Firsters*. They are self promoters of an agenda designed to recruit uneducated or frustrated people who don't know any better. Or would you prefer to remain ignorant?

[CommiesOut]

Comrade, we are virulent "commie backgrounds" now. Progress again.
It's still much better than "Kommissar", LOL!

[NixNatAVanG InDaBurgh]

Hey!!! I like Der Kommissar! Only good song on the whole dang CD.

[veronica]

Sniff sniff. Skunk? This thread is a shorty compared to some others....ones with real articles based on fact.

[NixNatAVanG InDaBurgh]

You got it, Wiley. No smacks=no smacks. Sounds darn good to me. And thank you. MUCH

[NixNatAVanG InDaBurgh]

You caught that eau de skunk too? Speak of the devil.....

[malarski]

Congratulations on being singled out as two of the most virulent posters. You must have worked really hard to bring the most controversial posts into the FR forum - the ones that are truthful. Congratulations again and Happy New Year

[CommiesOut]

Stop it.
We are bashful...

[veronica]

Wow. High praise indeed from your own personal peanut gallery or 'Amen Corner' LOL!

[Justin Raimondo]

What a joke. You want virulent? Virulent Veronica and her Barking Amen Corner take the cake. And they bark in unison, spiting expletives and abuse like nobody's business. Oh no, the others are just amateurs: these are professionals. And I mean that literally. What else do they do but hang around FR and shout "amen, brother!" to each other every time Ariel Sharon farts?

[UberVernunft]

"Eventually the bigotry comes to the surface..."

eventually the "moral equislings" overflow their septic tank...

Don't blame me -- you're the one making the bigotted statements.

Also you may want to work on some of your metaphors, and use of one of those online dictionaries would help immeasurably. I could provide a link if needed.

[Justin Raimondo]

Your friend "Black Steel" says "hello". Hey, did all you guys join in the same 48 hour period. You joined today. "Black Steel" joined yesterday. And there are several other new additions to the Amen Corner. Very very organized, you are. And obvious as hell.
