[Read more letters about this article: Here]Normally I don't respond to childish personal insults but in your case child, I'll make an exception
The date line on that article is 4 years ago. Why didn't you post the court cases in Israel that followed from that where their legal system (yes I know, a functioning legal system is pretty alien to the arab states) court martialed several soldiers as a result.
Funny how I don't recall any Palestinian jurisprudence that ever prosecuted anyone having to do with terrorist attacks, ever. Oh I guess they were busy with something else that day.
Funny how you didn't include that news snippet of the actual outcomes from that from 4 years ago. Why is that? Oh wait I know - super mysterious Jewish mind control. Of course!!

So was that a

[Read more letters about this article: Here]"I'm ignorant and prefer to stay that way"?
Or was that "I have nothing to say except my own insults"?
I was wondering what specific things you knew about J-street, specific things they have stated that makes you support them?

the 'Blockade'
[Read the article: Taking back the debate over Israel]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The head of the Palestinian Authority's gas agency confirmed Tuesday that Hamas gunmen had raided the Palestinian side of the Nahal Oz fuel terminal, stealing at least 60,000 liters of fuel meant for the Gaza power station in order to fill their own vehicles.
The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday that on at least four occasions over the past few weeks, Hamas militiamen confiscated trucks loaded with fuel as they were on their way from Nahal Oz to the city. Eyewitnesses said that the fuel supplies were taken to Hamas-controlled security installations throughout the city.
Today 1.6 million liters of fuel destined for the Palestinian populace have been locked away by the Hamas.

nothing of the sort

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I laid out a chronology. If facts don't matter to you, then say "Facts don't matter to me". You'd be in good company, the antizionist historian Ilan Pappe says the same thing, literally "Facts have less a bearing on my work than ideology."
I don't have a problem with that. I don't even care if you disregard such things like the fact that a quarter of the Jewish population of the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem was killed in the 1948 war and the other 3/4ths were kicked out. Or that 300 Jews were murdered in the 1929 Hevron pogrom and the several thousand were thrown out and that when the families came back to Hevron in the 90's they were literally reclaiming property that used to be theirs (be that as it may, the Jewish town of "Hevron" is actually Kiryat Arba which is about 15km outside of town far and away from any Arabs, plunked down on empty land).
See, I'm not all that interested in whether you're a hater or not. To you it's 'Jews out Peace in!!!' push them in the oceans and when they're all gone worldwide peace will breakout for ever. That's fine if you believe that. Again, I don't really care either way. You will get your Jew-Free Palestine ethnically cleansed of the Jew menace and it won't matter either way, you'll find some way to blame the Jews for something.
Did you ever see that movie "True Believer" when the young man points out to his skinhead neonazi buddies "If there was no Holocaust then why is Hitler such a great man?" Yeah it's kind of like that. I don't expect to change your mind, I don't worry about it either way. Belief systems like yours are counter rational, unperturbed by fact, reality or reason.

Dobbs went off on Bill Gates' lobbying efforts to uncork all limits on H1B visas yesterday
[Read the article: In defense of Lou Dobbs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]He didn't sound insane or bigoted. Dobbs looks more at the non efforts of government and Congress to do ANYTHING about illegal immigration than on the immigrants themselves. There there is simply no way to avoid the fact that illegal immigrants are in fact foreigners. That's the nature of illegal immigration. If not Hispanics it will be Koreans or Russians or Indians or mainland Chinese. It's ALWAYS going to be someone. You can't forbid anyone from raising the issue of illegal foreigners BECAUSE they are foreign. Would you talk about race relations in the US w/o being able to mention race?

Treeple
[Read the article: Taking back the debate over Israel]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's not that simple. It's partially that, but antisemitism and genocide are just tools. Arab states need Jewhating, they need the big bad boogeyman, just like the people here need the massive Jewspiracy. Why? Because it distracts the populace from what's actually wrong. Egypt has literally a new pharoh, a genetic monarchy. They've had exactly 3 rulers since 1952, one of whom they killed. Saudi Arabia is literally the property of the 5000 princes of the al Aziz clan. Syria again has an unelected President son of a military tyrant who exterminated his own populace. Iraq has had about a dozen military coups since the end of WW2. Iran had one king replaced by an insane theocracy. Lebanon used to be the Jewel of the mideast until 35 years ago when it stopped being a recognizable political entity at all. Yemen, Sudan, Algeria, Chad, Libya.....
They NEED to hate the Jews; it keeps the pressure off. It keeps the rabble from rising up and killing them all. In the same way that NEITHER Saudi Arabia nor Iran can afford to ever permit a successul secular Iraq, the Arab states can never afford to ignore to blame a Parliamentary democracy for every dead goat that ever was.
Do you why deluded Gazans elected Hamas? To protest the PA utter corruption. How bad is it? Arafat cronies and family members own the moneymaking monopolies among the Palestinians: cement, construction, fuel, cell phones, cigarettes, on and on. Hezbollah owns its own telephone network in Lebanon. Hamas controls all smuggling in and out of Gaza. Arafat died after stealing almost 8 billion dollars. This is the power they will never give up. They need to scream about the evil Jews, the need their people to blame every miserable thing that ever happened to them on the Jews.
