A great man once said, "History is Bunk" - I tend to agree.
"Your ignorance of history doesn't excuse you from denying that the Jews of today are for the most part descended from the same Jews expelled from Judaea. You can even trace this via DNA, supporting what history tells us."
I know about the Khazars and the Askenazi and you do not?
Preposterous.
You are just a liar.
Anyone who is stupid and gutless enough to believe any of the Abrahmic religions is probably a good candidate for converting to another form of the same bunk. Those that are smart enough to choose living over torture and dying.
Very few people are willing to die for their beliefs unless they have no alternative whatsoever.
Jews change religion within Judaism too. You aren't doing animal sacrifices anymore and that seems a betrayal of the core of the religion. I guess "JHVH" is fickle, transient and changes the rules to suit the convenience of the people worshiping him.
How many modern Jews actually believe in JHVJ - especially after the Holocaust?
You cannot count on one side maintaining technological superiority over the other. The Soviets used to have ICBMs when we didn't and a little effort changed that.
Now anyone can buy a GPS locater and you can buy remote control toy helicopters, planes, dragonflies and bats at any radio shack or gadget store.
Remember those remote control model airplanes that Saddam was threatening the security of the USA with? How would you like for Palestinians to take what is cheap and plentiful and weaponise it?
Push them hard and long enough and you may have a bunch of kids playing real video game war with game consoles modified to control toys. IDF soldier gets taken out by a 50 dollar toy with a needle attached to its nose?
Want to motivate the Palestinians by killing even more of them?
Amateur genetic engineering is also a popular hobby now? You really want to convince people that they have to wage war against you to survive?
Do you really want to demand payback from your victims?
Right now, 50 bucks and a hypodermic needle filled with something deadly and you have your own personal cruise missile of death. Far more effective for kids fighting soldiers rather than slingshots, rocks and molotov cocktails.
How many Palestinians are reading this?
How many of them have 50 bucks?
What if someone spent some real money?
GORT in the new TDTESS - how about a computer controlling a swarm of a couple of hundred small toy aircraft each with a payload? We already have the software - it is in the games. We already have the platforms - your children play with them. All we need is a GPS, a small video camera and a computer chip to put them all together and change the face of warfare.
WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN DO THAT.
Convince people to put out the effort and make war a little more hellish and a little more balanced. Humans are really good at that. Israel and America have no monopoly on the tools and craft of war.
Making toys into tools of war is something that our targets can learn from us. I thought those tiny UAVs were a bad idea because they are something that our enemies can too easily copy and mass produce.
Whenever you decide to do something evil to someone, keep in mind, payback is a universal desire.
That is the question!
NEVERMIND!
LOOK IT'S BLAGO!
LET'S GET HIM!
Forget about the Bush's.
Being an apologist for this grand lie is not going to change the lie or the carrying out of the lie which requires the sacrifice of Palestinians at the altar of the God of War.
You can excuse and understand the lie because of the Holocaust but not learning the fundamental lesson of the Holocaust is just stupid and evil.
You cannot negotiate or apologize for those who wantonly murder civilians. You would not do that for the Nazis and you should not do that for the Zionists. Who is causing misery and suffering now?
From what I have seen these people are just as bad as the worst that humanity can produce. We humans are good at doing the worst to each other.
Our government and Media have been corrupted to ensure that this keeps on going on forever. It needs to stop now.
Imagine if the Israelis treated Palestinians like human beings.
Imagine if Israel emulated Humanist Judaism rather than German Nazism.
Imagine if what was being done to the Palestinians was being done to you and yours.
Imagine if the Golden Rule meant something to psychopaths.
Killing the natives was OK.
Owning slaves was OK.
Keeping women as chattel was OK.
Persecuting people for religion was OK.
Stealing land from the weak and powerless was OK.
Racism was OK.
Last time I checked it was the TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.
Evil, stupid, savagery is not cool ANYMORE.
When was the last time we had some F-15s drop some bombs on a reservation?
19th century behavior is not acceptable today.
You are a doctor, right? Check the DSM section on psychopaths.
You have no shame.
First of all, I call everyone my dear here unless they are not human.
Nineteenth century behavior and policy is not acceptable but then again, the indians had bows and arrows and spears against firearms and then they got some firearms but Europeans are just so much more efficient at killing people than they were, but still, firearms vs. firearms is certainly more fair than rocks and molotov coktails vs. fighter bombers, missiles, tanks and a modern army. Then again, fairness is notosomething you can grasp.
"The fact is that the Zionist Israelis is smugly urging the Palestinians to do something that they, would not contemplate for an instant. We call that hypocrisy."
FTFY.
