Smile when you hear Death to Israel
What is it about saying Death to Israel that makes so many people feel so good?

Why is it, that so many people find so many ways to say it?

You can literally hear a new one every day. Sometimes twice.

This was, in fact, Death to Israel Weekend on the radical Islamist network. On Friday, Palestinian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahar kicked things off at a rally in Khan Yunis, bringing down the house by declaring that Israel is "an abomination in the Middle East" that will someday "disappear."

"We will never recognize Israel, and in the end the Zionists will be like that of the Crusaders, the Persians and the English, who left," said Zahar, a founding father of Hamas.

5. Gee, why stop there?
Religion isn't the only banner under which oppression appears. I detest the phrase death to....
Your enthusiastic embrace of such a loathsome phrase is regrettable. You sound just like the zealots you hate.

6. cali, I am SHOCKED that I have offended your
sensibilities, but..
you know, to us zealots, death just doesn't carry the same meaningful message as it does for thou.

4. Uh oh....this guy had better tailor his message and not broadcast
it to anything beyond a LOCAL audience!!!

I think everyone from Allah on down might have a problem with this concept!!

...No room for Abraham. He was, after all, not from here. He was from Mesopotamia. Let him go back.

And gee, after all that effort Nasrallah the Proxy put into fomenting war, and his Shi'a brethren, the Persians, aren't included in the party either?

"We will never recognize Israel, and in the end the Zionists will be like that of the Crusaders, the Persians and the English, who left," said Zahar, a founding father of Hamas.


I guess no "anti-Israel" deed goes unpunished! That will disappoint them, as they think they are included, and intend to take Al-Quds--at least that's what their PM keeps bellowing on about!


Funny how no one says a word about the Ottomans, who bought up a load of the land and then sold it off at no small profit....! Guess since they've sort of gone the way of the dodo and morphed into modern Turkey it's not worth the trouble to bring them up...!

The only thing that unites all these groups is their hatred of Jews. If the Jews suddenly said, fuck this shit, we're leaving, and relocated to a more hospitable locale, you'd have people coming from hither and yon, all determined to duke it out in Jerusalem, and of course each group, Shi'a, Sunni, Wahabbi, believes that only they will win, because only "they" have the right, because their flavor of Invisible God has told them so.

Ya gotta wonder if they'll EVER get sick of this shitty rhetoric?

9. It must be an error in translation
I'm sure they were saying how much they love Jews. Nothing will ever convince me that they would do anything bad to any Jewish or Israeli person ever. :sarcasm:
