Xanthro: "Most of the people who state they are just disagreeing with Israeli policy are only doing so because Israel is Jewish."
Really. Even here on Salon?
And you know for sure that Gary Kamiya is doing this... how, exactly?
Xanthro: "A large enough segment of Israeli society did not want a two State solution, that such an outcome was not possible. Now, a exceedingly large part of Israeli society, and Palestinian as well, support a two State solution."
True, but I believe much if not most of that change has come about because substantial numbers of people on both sides have come to realize that that a two state solution is only way peace will come to Israel/Palestine save for a shared one state solution.
Xanthro: "The PLO was never very efficient in running administration. Graft and corruption being the primary faults. Hamas seems relatively clear of this."
Agreed. Which I believe is a major reason why Hamas was able to garner as much support as they have in the Palestinian territories. That, and the PA/Fatah have had so little to show for their diplomatic attempts and agreements with Israel.
What planet on you living on? For you to say:
"Israel's current war in Gaza will have the same effect. Most analysts agree that attacking radical movements in the Middle East, without trying to address their grievances, only strengthens them. The only way to make lasting peace is through a political settlement."
What analysts? Name one. The radical left makes up statistics to try and support their nieve and foolish positions. There never will be a lasting peace anywhere in the Middle East as long as there are any radical muslims alive.
radical islam does not recognize Israel as a country and they are committed to murdering and chopping off the heads of all Jews. muslims hate all Jews. Mr. Kamiya, it is time you understood that. this hatred will never change.
Did you really have to bring us there?
What a picture!
I didn't know you were on such intimate terms with Hitler's dick!
Kamiya is planted on planet earth.
Which Rocky flick are you currently starring in?
I? II? III? VI? V? IV? IIV.....?
Alot of people avoid the question of what options does Israel have by saying look at the kill ratio - 1 dead Jew is x dead Palestinians -- that proves they are evil!! Yet never giving Israel on option on how to end the bombing of their homes and schools, that hasn't been tried before, and failed, because the Palestinians refused the offer, or did take it and didn't keep up their end. They keep chanting the death ratio without giving any real options -- just that Israel stop, even through the bombs keep falling on their homes, as if a single person making that request would tolerate a daily bombing of their city -- who the fuck cares if rarely kills anyone, it does occasionally, and that is no way to live, and no one on this board would live that way. Ranting without a solution that is reasonable is a sign of slogan without thinking syndrome.
So the USA vs Iraq causality rate of civilians is a lot worse than the Israeli vs Gazan ratio -- how many civilians in Iraq 200000 to 600000(depending on who is counting US military vs other sources) vs 4000+ USA soldiers. Hey the Israeli's are falling way behind, or they are incredibly better at avoiding civilians than we are ..why are we not ranting about ending the war? Why are there more support of Gaza rallies then end the Iraq war rallies? Because it is easier to bitch about other peoples governments - then to take responsibility for your own, hey Americans, end your own damn war against civilians who never even bombed a single American home - before you go complaining about another government. Oh, no that means you might have to do something other than complain on blogs.
And hey folks remember Gaza has more than one boarder -- why no pressure on Egypt to open its boarder?? No only the bad Jews. Folks the Egyptians don't want the Palestinians in their country or to have an open boarder with them, and neither does Jordan or Lebanon -- perhaps because they think poorly of them - perhaps because all those countries think the Palestinians are terrorist, and cause to much trouble in their countries -- they all want the Palestinians to be Israels problem because they don't want the problem. So how did this become all the Israels problem? Why isn't this the Egyptian/Israel problem -- because the anti-Jewish teachings of the middle east helps keep corrupt regimes in power in the Middle East -- if they didn't have Israel to complain about, most those governments would fall -- it is the ultimate wag the dog... the solution is for the rest of Middle East to get its act together, and want a real solution, which it doesn't, so there is no peace.
I never said they were my sons, and I never said the women were sluts. Some people in the 21st century actually find sex healthy, and enjoy it, guilt free! Oy! And it would not surprise me at all to find Hitler couldn't get it up. (I will refrain from making the obvious leap from a genocidal maniac not being able to get it up, to Israeli women seeking pleasure elsewhere). As I said, I found the liaisons somehow inspiring and healing.
Xanthro: "Most of the people who state they are just disagreeing with Israeli policy are only doing so because Israel is Jewish."

Easiest answer ever. YES, even here on Salon.
Already in 2009, Salon has had people post about Jews, "Dirty Jews", "Jews Suck", "Hitler was right" and "Fucking Jews"
And you know for sure that Gary Kamiya is doing this... how, exactly?
Because I've been reading him for quite some time, and every time Israel is the story, Gary will spin it into a negative a narrative as possible.
Is it because civilians are being killed? No, because far more are being killed right now in Somalia, yet Gary can't spill any ink on that subject.
While Gary would never print vulgar terms in talking about Jews, he knows this is unacceptable, I have no doubt that Gary has problems with Jews.
