On the subject of media bias in the Middle East....

Your capacity to desire war on such shaky evidential grounds astounds me, but helps me to understand the mentality that leads to the 'justification' in Israel of civilian slaughter in Lebanon and the continued oppression of Palestinian civilians in their camps.

?

sure does.... jews love war.

It has nothing to do with 7 wars, 4 invasions, a unified cry the states destruction, 1500 years of persecution, 1 holocaust, countless pogroms, prime ministers calling for the destruction of israel, prime ministers developing nuclear programs capable of destroying israel.

Jews are just so fucking trigger happy!

shut up dan.

trigger happy? summit 2 be proud of

quick editing jimi... you're losing your antisemitic balls.

cock.

I've never criticised Judaism as a religion - in fact, all I've ever criticised is Israeli foreign and defence policy and tactics that have lead to Islamic civilian suffering.

I don't believe that Joe places equal value on Jewish and Muslim life, which is I suppose understandable given his ethnicity, but to expect those of us with no vested interest to agree is unreasonable.

Everyone knows the Jews were persecuted....this doesn't justify the oppression we see today.

2 be fair, if sum1 else were 2 say that, u would kick off,


yeah editing as i didnt wanna get into an argument, and tbh didnt think there was a point so i decided 2 be mature

lol bollocks, you just don't want to be thrown off the council... but keep making gass chamber jokes you cowardly fuck.

i duno what it is with u joe,


i really dont

also it had nowt 2 do with gas chambers or anything like that

Joe's never heard the story of the boy who cried 'racist'

well i reckon he has called every1 recist like if they disagree with waht he DICTATES

ive 4got

But plausible.

andy there have been recent parlimentary inquests into modern day antisemitism cloaked as antizionism which is flaunted by the intellectual left... The arguments they cite are mirror images of the arguments you cite.

whether you chose to accept this or not is of little consequence... continue pushing your myths that jews value jewish life over muslim, continue pushing your myths that the jews used excesive force in the lebanon war, continue pushing your myths of the jews oppressing the poor Palestiniains, continue pushing your jewish blood libels in relation to the poor Iranians.

But don't expect a Jew to stand by silently... This isn't the 1930's - we've found our voices.

I'm on record for criticising the UK and US governments for exactly the same sorts of foreign policy decisions and responsibility for casualties caused by military ineptitude.

You're blinded by your ethnicicty - you are the first to criticise 'Western imperialism' abroad, and the first to say that Western governments need to deal with terrorism by negotiation.

But when the situation is relevant to Israel, you forget all this, and claim that military power is the only option.

You're the first (in fact, the only one) to claim that the US shares responsibility for deaths in the 9/11 attacks as a result of its foreign policy, yet you claim Hezbollah bears 'full' responsibility for the innocent Lebanese killed by Israeli weapons.

If you're going to brand me a racist for my opposition to the civilian casualties of the Lebanon war or the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, then I don't think it's unresonable that you should be able to quote, say, 1 post of mine which is racist - let's see it (not that anyone takes it particularly seriously when you level this accusation any more).

My opinions are widespread throughout the civilised world; if you think there shouldn't be a debate about the suffering of Muslim civilians in the Middle East, then I'm afraid it is you who is discriminating.
