I support Israel
Israel is ultimetaly a force for good. Things are rough over there, but I believe they will get better. The Israeli people are a smart crowd.

I spent some time with an Israeli family last summer. They were wonderful people, and heartbroken at the situation in their country, but hopeful.

5. DU is not anti-Israel per se.
Edited on Tue Mar-08-05 11:23 AM by UdoKier
So what's your point?





We are pretty firmly anti-Likud and anti-Sharon, I think....

7. Excellent, support terrorists and murders and bush's pimp. Well done..
definitely support a known liar, cheater, thug and thief whom bush emulates.

Support the terrorist who wants Gaza to turn it into a luxury beach front resort, no matter how much blood of innocents is spilled for greed and power and High Rise Condos!

Well done!

10. I support Palestine.
They are ultimately a force for good. Things are rough over there, but I believe they will get better. The Palestinian people are a smart crowd.

I spent some time with a friend's family in Ramallah a few summers ago. They were wonderful people, and heartbroken at the situation in their country. They were not very hopeful because they believe Israel will not stop until they are all dead.

53. It's like saying "I support the US, it's a force for good."
without any qualification at all. Both are equally absurd statements.

Israel is no pacifist utopia. It is just another nation among many, with flaws and virtues.

62. So are you saying that people have to qualify
any statement of support for Israel. And I can't say I support my country unless I clarify that I hate the chimp. I don't see you qualifying your support for the Palestinians so I must assume you approve of people walking into pizza parlors and blowing up innocents. See how that works?

I don't think that DU is a place for simplistic, meaningless, nationalistic catch phrases, whether they are "Support the Troops" or "Israel Rules", those words are VERY loaded in today's context, so you had better be upfront about what exactly you mean by them.


Israel and the US have both been on very extremist, militaristic paths in recent years, so yeah, those statements on their own don't cut it, IMO.

you support the Palestinian authority's corruption in stealing their own peoples money, you support animals walking into pizza parlors and blowing up civilians and you may want to be a bit more careful of who you call a racist bub.

You're the one who can't separate the Likud from Israel and the PA from ALL PALESTINIANS.

I don't take sides on the ridiculous Israel/Palestine conflict, becaus both sides are actin AWFULLY.

You on the other hand, quite obviously have. And do they become animals when they bomb pizzerias, or are they born that way?

106. It's not the original poster who can't make the distinction
It's those who insist that every word in support of Israel be qualified with hatred for Sharon (who I have no love for, for the record)

Yes, I do take sides and make no apologies for that.

Nobody is born an animal.

if so that makes you a hater in my opinion.

Your words about the Israel family are a very human
statement yet you find a similar statement about
Palestinians absurd.

30. Israel and Palestine can be forces of good or bad depending on
who's in the government of each respective state. Sharon is a fucking RW pig, just as Arafat was a fucking real terrorist.

I think the fundamentalist religious zealots from both sides have held sway over leadership for far too long.

Now we Americans are in a similar situation of having a fucking RW pig (Cheney) really running things, a war profiteer and criminal.

I would like to know how much your nice family has leached

Add up all the grants and loan guaranties and sweetheart

Also include the bribes payed to Eygpt to play nice with them.

If someone is being hostile towards you, post alert. If someone disagrees with you, have a reasonable argument.

Posting flamebait is a good way to get a thread killed.

48. Of course it was.
You stated that Israel was ultimately a force for good. (Who says it's not? Israel bashing is not allowed here!)

But you very deliberately exclude the other side of the equation, the Palestinians and Arabs, leaving the very deliberate and obvious implications that they are NOT a force for good.

Don't they train you people any better than this?

That being said the Palestinians deserve their own country, and I have no doubt they will get one in the coming years.

76. He forgot "hand-woven baskets"
Making them in your pants is an intersting place to do so, but to each his own.

78. LOL. Off topic, but a few years ago when heading out to a local island
I noticed an elderly man by the side of the road. He'd be sitting there, weaving a basket by hand. He would always have a pile of baskets for sale. Must be a bit of a lost art.

.... my random thought for today.

68. Probably not a good bet. I've heard they are advocating
the killing of small kittens.

99. MAJORITY of ISRAELIS hate Israel!
Well they must, right? After all, if DUers dislike the corrupt bastard Sharon, that makes us all haters of Israel.

Poll: Large majority believes Sharon is corrupt

102. isn't that something for the israel-palestine issues forum?
or soon will be my guess.

i'd disagree with with your first statement though. They might be smart but i'd add ruthless too concerning their palestine policy. There are decent Israelis though. Good music, fashion and weed coming from there too. but else...as fascist as US-america.

103. I support the constitution
with all its amendments and the Bill of Rights. Everything flows out from that point. I support Israel but only to a certain degree and not at our expense or the mentioned documents.
