Idiocy from a Marxist Tenured Red. Notice the moral equivalence and especially the BS line, "against Arafat's will. That's a turkey. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[aimhigh]

Liberals. They never understand a "police action". They hate God, and in actuality all authority.

[northernwilson]

Who will arrest Sharon, the person directly responsible for the orders to kill Palestinians?

I don't know if they'll arrest him, but a Belgian court is suppose to rule later this month if they have jurisdiction over indicting him for war crimes commited in Lebanon. Should be interesting.

[swarthyguy]

the individual terrorist acts are done by individuals in despair, PuhLease! Yes, just go to your local JihadisRUs and pick up a suicide belt; all sizes available, teenager, missy, youth, young man, womens. Scope out and choose a target, manueuver to the target, avoid security using our user's manual that comes with the belt.

[Ajnin]

Don't forget the use of mom's home recipe for making plastic explosives.

I hope you're not including William F. Buckley Jr. in that group. He has gone on record against Sharon's military actions.

Sharon's contribution

My vote is that Ariel Sharon's offensive is the stupidest campaign in recent memory. Defined here as a campaign that has solved nothing, increased Israel's problems, intensified Palestinian hatred of Israel, estranged many Europeans and Americans, and fanned Islamic hostility. What is General Sharon up to?the rest of the article here

Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo ben Issac) the greatest of all jewish commentators on the Torah, in his very first commentary on the very first verse writes as follows:
R. Yitzchok said: The Torah should have begun with [the verse] "This month shall be [your first month]," it being the first precept that the Israelites were commanded. Then why does it [the Torah] begin with "In the beginning"? This is because [of the concept contained in the verse,] "He declared the power of His works to His people in order to give to them the inheritance of nations." Thus, should the nations of the world say to Israel, "You are robbers, for you have taken by force the lands of the Seven Nations," they [Israel] will say to them: "All the earth belongs to G-d. He created it and gave it to whomever He saw fit. It was His will to give it to them (the Nations) and it was His will to take it from them and give it to us (the Jews).

This is quite a sick little screed.

"As Israel once again battles for its very survival, the world's anti-Semites are yet again crawling out from under their rocks to spread lies and disinformation . . .

". . . Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is also being investigated for alleged genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity under the same Belgian law in a case brought forward in November by victims of Palestinian terrorism. Also being probed under this law, are, among others, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Iran's former president, Ali Akbar Rafsanjani. . ."

Mideast Lies

Should be interesting.

[axxmann]

Nonsense. One side wants to live in peace (Israel), the other wants Israel to cease to exist.

Funny how people find these positions morally equivalent...they're not!

[axxmann]

I thought Israel should have arrested Arafat and extradited him to the Hague....THAT would have been interesting.

[Deathmonger]

I didn't realize that God put asterisks by the Commandments,

"Thou shalt not steal" and "Though shalt not covet thy neighbor's property",

that read:

"*Unless you are a Jew and thy neighbor is a Gentile, in which case these Commandments may be disregarded."

Must be a part of the Torah that didn't make it into the Christian bible.

[northernwilson]

I thought Israel should have arrested Arafat and extradited him to the Hague....THAT would have been interesting.

How about they arrest both of them and send them both to the Hague....That might make it the most interesting of all.

[ex-snook]

"What is the difference between State terrorism and individual terrorist acts? "

Obviously it's miliary aid. If the USA supplied enough military aid so people would be able to buy missiles, tanks, and gunships then they would not use cars, themselves, or even our own planes. You see if we provided military aid, then it would be 'collateral damage' and would end 'terrorism'. (/sarcasm)

[BuckeyeForever]

Buckley is absolutely correct. Sharon's thugs haven't helped Israel's cause at all, and have only exacerbated the situation. I find it interesting that humans, by their nature, always feel obliged to take sides in a conflict. In many parts of the world, you can find longstanding disputes among tribes who are happy to commit savage acts upon each other. IMO, rather than force ourselves to find one side righteous and the other evil, we should face the truth that both sides are guilty of atrocities, and we should condone neither sides' actions.

[BuckeyeForever]

I agree. Arrest both. And we shouldn't support any group that commits atrocities like those committed by both Palestinians and Israelis.

More Palistinian Propaganda regarding Sharon "war crimes" in Pali camps in the early 1980's. Christian Malitia, who were allied with Israel at the time, invaded the camps and engaged armed combatants. These Lebanese malitia were not under Sharon's control any more than Arrafat claims he can't control Hammas or Hezzbolah.

Moreover the Palistinians have demonstrated thier willingness to allege false "masacres" i.e. Jenin, in spite of all evidence showing a legitimate military conflict. Palistinians lack credibility to claim any masacre after digging up cemeteries and planting stale corpses in an effort to fabricate evidence of an Israeli massacre.

"Yes, just go to your local JihadisRUs...."

By all means, just go. See if he even gets there before he gets his throat cut.
