Bring on the Aliens.

Only when we as a species encounter an external threat will we bond and realise we're all the same, nobody owns fuckin anything and fighting over some dirt and lines drawn on a map is pointless and self destructive.

The Aliens probably wont be allowed make jew jokes either ADL will be among the first outlets in orbit

Right. You open with a "we are all the same" sentiment and then immediately squeeze in your next "I don't like Jews" comment. The ADL while is a Jewish organization first; however, it also acts on behalf of all people who face discrimination and that includes people within the LGBT community.

You are just a bigot…and not very bright either.

PS…

i dealt personally with endless relentless bigotry from RM posters for being gay, just a few years ago, as well as ongoing to this day jokes about all things 'gay ever since.."

…perhaps, you should practice what you preach.

We'll ignore the bait for a moment. I'm not bombing the shit out of people in order to exterminate them. I'd question your 'brightness' for supporting it

Could please point out where I ever said I support the bombing of innocent civilians?

As I mentioned, the civilian deaths are tragic, but the fault primarily belongs to Hamas.

I am not saying Israel is free of guilt. The entire situation is awful.

You don't "take the bait" because you have no response beyond your hate. You don't have any data to back up your hate. You simply make these blanketed statements that are widely inaccurate.

As I stated before, you are a bigot.

So Israel is concerned about LGBT and Womens rights, so much so that bombing an entire population to a timetable will bring about changes to those laws that impede them living as they choose?

that was crass..sorry Yeddie

really none of the rights issues you brought up are even important at this point. People are being killed and starved with no warning in numbers significant enough to warrant investigation on a war crime footing.

sideshow deflection topics dont help it.

if everyone identified as Palestinian were to die of poisoning/bombing tomorrow, would israel then be happy? and what would it have to say for itself? as well as the countries turning a blind eye to it thus allowing it?
is that not genocide? Hamas will always have troops. if my older brothers or cousins were killed, i'd want to kill those that did it too. Too bad I don't have all that weaponry to do it.

it's not a war. it's not even a fight. it's a massacre, ongoing and perpetual.

You asked me a question and I answered it. I was simply pointing out that the people you are defending may not be so quick to defend you. That said, I don't think we are off topic. The reason I pointed out the anti-gay position is because it fits into a larger issue of intolerance. Hamas is not interested in a peaceful resolution. It is not interested in religious freedom or equality. It does want the Jews out of the Middle East. Don't take my word on it. That war, along with the other past conflicts could have been avoided if this intolerance wasn't so imbedded in their culture.

As I mentioned, the civilian deaths are tragic, but the fault primarily belongs to Hamas. Hamas forced Israel to respond and operating out of civilian areas is part of their strategy. They know they cannot win a direct fight.

You throw around words like genocide? Are you joking or just stupid?

Why don't you save that accusation for the more grave conflict in Syria and hold Assad and the IR accountable? Russia and the Iranian proxy has maintained that conflict and subsequently allowed the Islamic State/ISIS to gain a foothold in that region and causing even more casualties. Where is that number now? 200k +?

I imagine you don't waste your time on that issue because Jews are not involved. They get a pass, huh? That is a massacre.

Why don't you do a little research and find out what peace proposals Israel has put forth or the aid that Israel does provide the Palestinian people? I am not saying Israel is free of guilt. The entire situation is awful. I am just merely pointing out that you dwell on this issue because you hate Jews. And that makes you a bigot.

Congrats.

When the Syria conflict exploded, I brought up the same point. All the outcry for Palestinians, but no one else getting massacred. Not the Syrians ..... nor the Libyans, Egyptians, etc...

I think you hit the nail on the head here in your last 2 sentences.

[dimejinky99]

Yeddie, why is it someone cant disagree with Israels approach to Palestine and the IDFs actions towards its people without being called a bigot?
Seems to be a default position to accuse someone of hating all jews everywhere simply if they don't support the actions of one country waging war on a people who cant respond in kind(there's that genocide word again).

Doesn't mean the whole Jewish diaspora are to blame. But if you have to resort to accusing and labelling someone a bigot just because they don't agree with your position, we'll never get anywhere.

the stereotype kicks in when you take it to yourself as your position ie 'you don't agree with me 'cos I'm jewish therefore you're a bigot', when in fact the objection isn't to you, it's to your point which is attempting to defend an ongoing massacre of Palestinians. Taking that personally and as a result making that personal seems to be another of the knee jerk reactions you and anyone defending Israel/IDF seem to fall back to. Play the ball, not the player. I haven't made any assumptions about you nor labelled you in a way to deserve your reaction. It's not bigoted or anti-semetic to disagree with someone 'cos they're jewish. Stop trying to make it so.

I'm amazed this wasn't shot down.

Are the Jordanians seriously toying with sending in ground troops? Also, why do they have the only credible special forces in the region (if that claim is eve n reasonable)?

I'm sure Mossad agrees.

[E.H. Ruddock]

yeah pretty sure Israel has the only credible special forces in the region.

I think Jordan is run by Liam Neeson
