Israel Plans to Restore Death Penalty for Everyone but Jews

[a6mzero]

Hams has built a terror state on the border of Israel.They hide behind women and children and target women and children. Why anyone in the western world would show them the least bit of sympathy is mind boggling. These people were dancing in the street after 9/11. A nation of belly bombers crying woe is me.

"On Monday night, a strike hit an eight-story apartment building in downtown Gaza City — an area where Israeli officials had urged Gazans to take shelter. The building collapsed as rescue crews were inside, killing more people. "

It's like Saxitoxin can't go a single post here without telling a lie, distorting reality or saying something outrageous.

based on the absolute vitriol you and your confederates have expressed for Arabs in this thread, such as comparing them to snakes and declaring them squatters

Show me a quote where I've done anything like that. I've been critical of Palestinians in the past as they elected Hamas of their own volition, but in light of the recent polls that show upwards of 80% of them want Hamas out my views are evolving. I feel bad for them because they're stuck, and if you were really pro Palestine instead of just anti Israel you would denounce Hamas as the vast majority of Palestinians do.

Anyhow, the "vitriol" you're alleging I said can't be found, and it's nowhere near the level of what you say about Israel.

it is clear you're most likely a white supremacist.

Yeah, because Israel and Judaism are so very compatible with white supremacy...

You've just made the jump from vitriolic liar to bumbling idiot.

The wonderful author, celebrated feminist, and Jewish-American Naomi Wolf (Wolf was an observant Jew who even lived in Quds for 2 years) has just renounced Judaism.

A woman denounces Judaism, I bet that makes you so happy.

As rare as radical feminists are in the Jewish community, and as unexpected as it is for them to denounce their heritage, I think Israel will be fine.

Ok we get it, you can find people who hate Israel as much as you do. In other news:

EU calls on Hamas to disarm, condemns use of civilians as shields

Israel received a strong backwind from an unlikely source on Tuesday, when the EU issued a statement strongly denouncing Hamas and condemning their use of civilians as human shields.

The EU’s foreign ministers, following a monthly meeting in Brussels, issued a statement on the Middle East condemning “the indiscriminate firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and militant groups in the Gaza Strip, directly harming civilians. These are criminal and unjustifiable acts.”

The statement also called on Hamas to put an immediate end to its rocket attacks and to renounce violence.

“All terrorist groups in Gaza must disarm,” it said. “The EU strongly condemns calls on the civilian population of Gaza to provide themselves as human shields.”

Hamas leader turns down unconditional truce
DEBKAfile July 23, 2014, 10:02 PM (IDT)
Khaled Meshaal, Hamas’ politburo chief, said in Qatar Wednesday that he would accept a truce in the Gaza war only on Hamas’ terms.

http://www.debka.com/newsupdatepopup/9118/

“Everyone wanted us to accept a cease-fire and then negotiate for our rights,” Mr. Meshal said at a news conference in Qatar, his home in exile, taking aim at the very approach Mr. Kerry has sought to nurture. “We reject this, and we reject it again today.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/24/world ... v=top-news

Here is Mr. Meshal, leader of the Hamas political bureau, enjoying a nice meal while he courageously urges Palestinians to continue their struggle against their oppressors.



Here he's pictured working out in Qatar, shedding calories from his delicious meal, while contemplating the bloodshed endured by Palestinians.




Meanwhile revelations regarding the extent of the Hamas tunnel network, cited as key to the Hamas strategy of harassing Israelis, reaching miles within Israeli territory has shocked the nation. The 600,000 tons of concrete used to produce the tunnels siezed so far, enough to build 20 New York Giant stadiums, were obtained despite the Israeli embargo which Hamas claims prevents them from obtaining building supplies which would be used to build civil infrastructure...

Israeli troops have uncovered and taken control of 13 tunnels so far, Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, the military spokesman, said, running as much as 30 yards underground and sturdily built with what the military estimates is 600,000 tons of concrete. Concrete is a precious resource in Gaza, with most imports banned except for international projects, so it appeared that the material came through tunnels from Egypt or was diverted frim its intended purpose. The lack of concrete for building has left many Gazans unable to rebuild homes and without work.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/20/world ... .html?_r=1

It's almost as if Hamas would rather use their resources to fight Israel and cause their people to suffer in order to gain sympathy in the media than to improve living conditions in Gaza... Hmmm


In light of these shocking revelations Israel is receiving unprecedented international support for their operations with the US and EU upholding Israel's right to self defense and condemning Hamas, Putin issuing the most sympathetic comments a Russian leader has ever made towards Israel in history, and even Arab states which traditionally condemn Israel showing signs of support...

No response from the bible thumpers about the Chief Rabbi of Hebron who wants to behead Gentile babies and subject POWs to medical experimentation. Just angry chaff and racist screeds.

Anyway, the Chief Rabbi is representative of Israeli state policy. The Telegraph reported that, in 2008, Israel's #1 objective was racial extermination ...

Israel aimed to 'cleanse' Gaza neighbourhoods in 2008 invasion

But in startling interviews with Israeli filmmaker Nurit Kedar, former soldiers have for the first time allowed themselves to be named while blaming their commanders for encouraging a "disproportionate" response to Hamas's rockets. They said their commanders used to "psych up" soldiers before an operation so they were ready to shoot indiscriminately.

One soldier says he was told to shell every house in a neighbourhood.

In a report to be shown on Channel 4 News on Monday, Ohad, a 24-year-old tank commander, remembers being told the night before the operation that the entry into Gaza was to be "disproportionate". Once into Gaza, he said his orders were unambiguous: "The order was very clear that if a car came within 200 metres of me I could simply shoot at it. Shoot a shell at it."

He added: "We needed to cleanse the neighbourhoods, the buildings, the area. It sounds really terrible to say 'cleanse', but those were the orders....I don't want to make a mistake with the words."

The point being the man lives a life of luxury while he starves his people in the name of fighting Israel. He shares none of the struggle and hardship with his people. He fits right in with the other maniacs you support like Kim Jung Il and Bashar Assad.

Yarmouk was home to the largest Palestinian refugee community in the country before the conflict began. 180,000 Palestinian civilians called it home. Now only 20,000 remain. Food and medical supplies are routinely denied entry and starvation is one of the three main causes of death. Recently, in the Jarabulus area, 22 people were killed and thrown into the streets to instill fear in the population. Some of them were children.

Amnesty International has called for the immediate lifting of the siege, the cessation of shelling and other indiscriminate attacks, and for humanitarian agencies to have unfettered access to the area. The disproportional attacks on civilians must end.

Down with Israel? Not quite. Yarmouk and Jarabulus are in Syria.

In fact, many in that country are decrying the lack of attention to their plight and the fact that images and videos often go viral only when they are falsely presented as being from Gaza. Marc Lynch, the Director of the Institute for Middle East Studies at GWU, put it succinctly when he said, “It must be so awkward having to check whether the dead child is from Gaza or Syria before deciding whether to be morally outraged.”

So to those condemning Israel: Are you pro-Palestinian, or are you really just anti-Israel? Many of you purportedly care so much when you really care so little. As Leon Wieseltier of the New Republic once wrote: It is easier “not to dive deep into the substance of anything. It is less immediately satisfying than cursing and linking.”

My Twitter and Facebook feeds would have me believe that the only noteworthy military conflict in the world today is that between Israel and Hamas. Either many of you care about war only when it involves a Jew holding a gun, or you are woefully unaware of what else is going on in the world. In case it is the latter, and I sincerely hope it is, here is a (very) partial list of the death tolls from other ongoing conflicts. In no particular order:

Syria: 162,000+

Mexico: ~80,000

Nigeria: ~5,000

South Sudan: ~10,000

Gaza: ~600

This is not to say that your attention and sympathies should be dictated by casualty counts. All civilian deaths are tragic. Moreover, such figures tell us nothing about the moral standing of the warring parties, especially not in the case of the asymmetric warfare that Hamas is waging. After all, the United States lost about 450,000 lives fighting in World War II while the Nazis lost over seven million, yet I would wager that none of you think the Nazis held the moral high ground. At least I hope so. The twisted logic and moral relativism of some of the posts I have been reading make me wonder.

What these figures do show is that while all war contains tragedy, including the one in Gaza and Israel, only deaths connected to Jews seem to evoke the cries we have been hearing over the number of dead in Gaza, which pales in comparison to other conflicts and is largely due to Hamas’ grotesque tactics. While there are few of you whom I would accuse as individuals of holding animosity toward Jews, there are many of you who are participating in a global, collective media assault on Israel that is indeed suggestive of something much darker.

I am not asking you not to care. On the contrary, I am hoping that you all start to care more – about the many problems in the world. Then, perhaps going forward your condemnation of Israel could be – let’s see, how I should I put this – more proportional.

Ad hominem

An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument.

Once in awhile, in zoos, you get a really crazy monkey who is running around the cage, throwing his feces all over, attacking the other monkeys, banging his head into the glass, and so forth. With the monkeys, if you castrate them they usually calm down and become a little more sane and docile.

Have you ever considered getting castrated, GabonX?

Just out of curiosity, which one of the ten posts which come up when you search for "birth certificate" under my name do you think shows I have an "obsession" with Obama's birth certificate? I didn't argue in any of them that his lack of producing a birth certificate proves he isn't an American...

We're waiting.

[Metsfanmax]

He won't, because this fallacy runs much deeper than just ad hominem, as I've pointed out in this thread. If I were to post something by some random blogger in the Westboro Baptist Church, say, about the state of gay marriage laws in West Virginia, he probably wouldn't spend pages talking about how I hate gays. However, when I post something about a question of fact -- whether or not Hamas bombed a region during a ceasefire -- from a clearly biased source about Israel, suddenly that means I hate Arabs. This has nothing to do with posting things from questionable sources and everything to do with the position that he is trying to advance.

The reason it seems like I'm spending pages discussing the bible thumpers sources is because every page you guys come up with a new gem. The minute y'all begin processing reputable information to form your opinions, I'll stop harping on you. You should know that evaluating the veracity of sources is a fundamental part of the analytical process, and not what ad hominen is, but I agree it appears you do not know that.

I think your refusal to admit blacksupremacyloveunite.wordpress.com, "Latest News Biblical Perspective!", the IDF Twitter feed, world-zionism.org, etc. have no place in establishing facts speaks to the position you're trying to advance, that Israel is a "decent state." And, by that statement, yes, it shows you do hate Arabs (since we've established, through reputable sources, that Israel has pursued ethnic cleansing as a matter of state policy) in the same way that if someone said "well, the Nazis were basically a decent party - maybe a little misunderstood," they would rightly be accused of being an anti-Semite until proved otherwise.

Fortunately, as the mass demonstrations throughout the world are showing, anti-Ishmalites are in the extreme minority.
