His argument about the Nazis is twisted in so many ways, that I don't even know where to start. The Nazis built concentration camps to systematically murder millions of Jews just because they were jews. The jews fought for the lives.
The Palesitinians do not fight for their lives. They fight to destroy Israel. There is no comparison with that to what is happening with Gaza.
Israel does the least it can do to protect itself from people who wants to eliminate it, and let them leave.
Israel does not commit war crimes. It protects itself from cynical enemy that is masterful at spreading disinformation.
Given the rate the Muslim population grows in Britain, they have no idea what what waits for them around the corner. They are being blind. When terror will hit their streets, they will see what kind of people they were standing behind.
If there is something I agree with in this video is his statement that Israel can't solve this conflict using force. This is in the Israeli mainstream consensus. We are not the Nazis, we care about human rights, we value life, we are not going to solve the problem by killing them all.
Israel needs one single person in the Palestinian side that wants to discuss peace with it. And that person does not exist (but militants and suicide bombers are abundant). They are not ready for peace yet. If they wanted do, there would be peace long before now. At the moment they just want to fire rockets on Israeli cities and when Israel responds they can cry about "warcrimes".
You sound like "whole world is wrong and I am right". Not biased, eh!
Yes Britain should put all the Muslims in a camp - even better a concentration camp. Or deport them.;) Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? May be you should sing this song:
"Woke up this morning, After another one of those crazy dreams Oh, nothing is going right this morning, The whole world is wrong it seems Oh, I guess it's the chain that bind me I can't shake it loose these chains and things
Got to work this morning, Seems like everything is lost
And a slave driving ball I can't loosen these chains that bind me, Can't shake them loosen these chains and things Just can't loosen these chains and things
Well you talk about hard luck and trouble, Seems to be my middle name All the odds are against me, Yes, I can only play a losing game These chains that bind me, Can't loosen these chains and things Just can't loosen these chains and things
Oh, I would pack up and leave today people, But I ain't got nowhere to go Ain't got money to buy a ticket, And I don't feel like walking anymore These chains that bind me I can't lose, I can't lose these chains and things".
"The American public appears not to believe the Turkish-Arab version of the deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla. According to a poll published in the United States on Tuesday, 49% of Americans believe pro-Palestinian activists on the Turkish-owned ship are to blame for the incident, which left nine passengers dead.
While Israelis have been criticizing the government and army's PR efforts following the incident, the survey – conducted by the Rasmussen Institute – reveals that only 19% of Americans think the Israelis are to blame and 32% are not sure."
I don't see the point. About half of the people think there should be investigated and half doesn't...
Israel is saying "no" to biased investigations that their entire purpose is to bash Israel, and ignore the crimes committed by the other side, like in the infamous Goldstone report.
I wouldn't put so much weight into the actual percents, 1-2% is probably within the sampling error, and it doesn't really matter to me. My point is that the support for Israel in this incident is far from being close to zero.
Do you realize what you're saying? 51% does not count but 49% is a big deal. Although details of this survey are of dubious nature and every effort is made to make the figures look good for Israel.

Have fun with your self-righteousness.
We are not alone:

Is it not same survey which revealed that:
ReplyDelete"51 percent of those surveyed said Israel should allow an international investigation of the incident"
Israel is saying no to such an investigation.
You have a problem, eh! What kind of drug you’re on. You sound like a dope-head. Just try a beer or two as they’re not that hard on the brain.
I don't see the point. About half of the people think there should be investigated and half doesn't...

"About half of the people think there should be investigated and half doesn't..."
ReplyDeleteActually 51% say there should be an investigation.
And only 49% say it may not be Israel's fault according to the same survey. So less than half means nothing. Actually this figure may be a lot less.
Give your head a shake.

ReplyDeleteDo you realize what you're saying? 51% does not count but 49% is a big deal.
ReplyDeleteAlthough details of this survey are of dubious nature and every effort is made to make the figures look good for Israel.
I wish you well. Take care.
