Has a single Zionist posted here who did not make "wipe out Hamas" the theme of his first post?
Sure, when that doesn't fly, they backpedal, equivocate, and whine, whine, whine, but IIRC all of them started with some variation of the "Hamas is animals and finish the job of wiping them out" rant.
We can find a lot of post here talking about "wiping Israel out". All of them are from Zionists, distorting and exagerrateing Israel-critical posts into absurdity. And W-h-i-n-i-n-g!
With that kind of material they're gonna build a Jewish State? Babies and whiners?
Read the slightest bit!

I heard a cable movie was in the works, with Omar Sharif and Fyvush Finkel doing the lead-role voice-over narration from the present day.
They were planning to cast Peter Falk, but apparently he isn't well.
I gotta go, or I'll end up divorced, or badly injured.
But this is amazing! I have never before seen or heard a conversation like this!
Every time a Hasbarist fires a shot, somebody returns facts, blow for blow.
Even for stuff which only a few years ago would have been unanswerable! It is very heartening.
It just might be that people are going to help Israel, even tho Israel will resist any help.
Goodbye, and thanks to all who responded to any of my comments, thanks to all.
I'm starting to agree with what others have said earlier, that the issue of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts brings out the worst in people who are otherwise apparently sane.
We've now reached a point where several regulars of this blog, most notably Jebbie, have frothed so much vitriol against Israel that I begin to wonder if they wouldn't have been averse to operating the showers at those infamous prison camps if they'd been born a generation or two ago. That's quite lamentable.
Yes, I know, making uncomfortable observations amidst all of this anti-Israeli rage will just get the Lockstep Left to fire up their ovens of outrage, but neither the threat of flame nor Zyklon B can suppress the truth of the current IDF campaign in Gaza. All the Islamist propaganda most of you spout so readily won't change the outcome, either, as Hamas is finding out to their own bitter regret.
Stay strong, Israel.
Have you signed up at your local recruiting station? Are you a warrior, like you like to talk about? I would be delighted to hear about your war exploits.
"I'm starting to agree with what others have said earlier, that the issue of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts brings out the worst in people who are otherwise apparently sane."
Its even more alarming what it's done to someone who is apparently not.
Good interview. I just finished the second part. You need to get yourself a great aggressive publicist who can place you on more TV news shows.
do you really think it is in the interest of the Israeli govt. or army to kill civilians?
Are you a warrior, like you like to talk about?
Got to be one of the more outré cases of mistaken identity I've seen recently...
Anyone watch MSNBC Shuster's coverage of the Gaza annihilation? Damned, I didn't realize he was such an outspoken zionist. You'd never had guessed, by his Left leanings on every other issue.
Like Glenn's last article, he's one of those guys who hates Cheney/Wolfowitz/Perle on every issue, but somehow LOVES them something silly on their Israel positions.
Shame about Dave.

I don't know if either you or Jebbie were joking, but hasn't that scenario already been done with Sydney and Tony in The Defiant Ones?

It's about what the law IS. You are free to hold whatever views you like. You are even free to repeat them. But when a forum such as this promotes race hatred, racial violence and worse then it crosses over into the legal realm. I don't plan to engage you, rise to your bait or otherwise 'debate' with hate mongers. I plan to look into how to stop it.
WinSmith and friends might want to take notes:
Propaganda is the dissemination of information aimed at influencing the opinions or behaviors of large numbers of people. As opposed to impartially providing information, propaganda in its most basic sense presents information in order to influence its audience. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or gives loaded messages in order to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the cognitive narrative of the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda.
THAT is YOU.

Well then, thank goodness that none of that is happening here, unless you count what WinSmith and friends have said about the Palestinians.

Why do you hate America?
You are correct it is not against the law to be antisemitic. At least you acknowledge that. Fomenting hate speech is quite another thing entirely.
So? Have you served in the military, and if not, why not?
You always know when you have a right-winger completely beaten, cuz they always retreat to Hitler and WWII. There is absolutely no comparison whatsoever between that conflict and what is happening now.
Pathetic.
WHAA WHAA! I DONT LIKE HEARING THINGS I DISAGREE WITH SO I AM GOING TO TRY AND USE THE LAW TO STOP IT! WHAA WHAA I HATE THE FIRST AMENDMENT!! WHAA WHAA!!
