| Originally posted by Cyrus King Well, you are basing them from a very ignorant point of view. Like many of us know, there is alot of anti-semitism in this world, and I, from witness, have seen people hate jews and Israel because of the aggressive attitude that people like haunted have expressed. I have hostility towards the Israeli government, like the US government, do i hate all Americans? NO... my cousins are american for fucks sake. Get you story straight. Why dont you criticize Haunted for explicitly calling pals parasites? P.S Shakka are you a Jew? |
Why is it that anti-semitism is such a horrid thing? When people of other ethnic backgrounds are discriminated against, it doesn't get a name for itself. why isn't there anti-arabism? now i know people are going to say that arabs didn't go through a holocaust. I understand that..but isn't it about time we forgot about what happened over 50 years ago? One doesn't see the Armenians or Cambodians getting the same kind of reperations as the Jews do.
Now, am I saying that we should blow the holocaust off as a non-important event? of course not. If you think about it, the fact that the jews have divided themselves from the rest of the world by hiding behind "anti-semitism" only fuels the hatred for a lot of people.
Anyway, that was just my 2 cents. Flames are not welcome.

| quote: |
Since the Palestinian uprising started in late September 2000, more than 1,500 Palestinians, and 400 Israelis have been killed (as of April 12, 2002), the vast majority on both sides being unarmed civilians. Most of the deadly violence against innocent civilians, therefore, has been committed by Israeli forces and has been directed at Palestinians. Israel and its supporters claim that while Palestinian suicide bombers deliberately target Israeli civilians, Israel tries to avoid harming Palestinian civilians and that those who have died are "collateral damage." Hence, they argue, there is no moral equivalence between the killing of civilians by Israel and Palestinians. This defies both common sense and all the available evidence. On the one hand, Israel wants us to believe that 400 of its own civilians were deliberately targeted, while more than three times as many dead Palestinians all somehow just got in the way of what Israel claims is its humane and disciplined army. It is, in essence, an argument that 1,500 people all died by accident. Every human rights group that has examined Israel's practices has documented systematic and deliberate use of violence targeted at unarmed Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces. Physicians for Human Rights USA which investigated the high number of Palestinian deaths and injuries in the first months of the Intifada, concluded that: "the pattern of injuries seen in many victims did not reflect IDF [Israel Defense Forces] use of firearms in life-threatening situations but rather indicated targeting solely for the purpose of wounding or killing." [Source: PHR USA, 22 November 2000] This finding was based on "the totality of the evidence" the investigators collected about : "the high number of gunshots to the head; the volume of serious, disabling thigh injuries; the inappropriate firing of rubber bullets and rubber-coated steel bullets at close range; and the high proportion of Palestinian injuries and deaths." The findings of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch confirm this pattern. Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has documented and condemned the targeted use of violence against Palestinian civilians and has found evidence of systematic torture of thousands of Palestinian detainees, including children. What has been confirmed by human rights groups has also been observed directly by journalists. In October 2001, Harper's magazine published the "Gaza Diary" of journalist Chris Hedges. Hedges' entry for June 17, 2001 provides even more shocking evidence of the wanton and deliberate killing of Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers at Gaza's Khan Yunis refugee camp. Hedges writes: "I sit in the shade of a palm-roofed hut on the edge of the dunes, momentarily defeated by the heat, the grit, the jostling crowds, the stench of the open sewers and rotting garbage. A friend of Azmi's brings me, on a tray, a cold glass of tart, red carcade juice." "Barefoot boys, clutching kites made out of scraps of paper and ragged soccer balls, squat a few feet away under scrub trees. Men in flowing white or gray galabias -- homespun robes -- smoke cigarettes in the shade of slim eaves. Two emaciated donkeys, their ribs protruding, are tethered to wooden carts with rubber wheels." "It is still. The camp waits, as if holding its breath. And then, out of the dry furnace air, a disembodied voice crackles over a loudspeaker." ""Come on, dogs," the voice booms in Arabic. "Where are all the dogs of Khan Younis? Come! Come!"" "I stand up. I walk outside the hut. The invective continues to spew: "Son of a bitch!" "Son of a whore!" "Your mother's ****!"" "The boys dart in small packs up the sloping dunes to the electric fence that separates the camp from the Jewish settlement. They lob rocks toward two armored jeeps parked on top of the dune and mounted with loudspeakers. Three ambulances line the road below the dunes in anticipation of what is to come." "A percussion grenade explodes. The boys, most no more than ten or eleven years old, scatter, running clumsily across the heavy sand. They descend out of sight behind a sandbank in front of me. There are no sounds of gunfire. The soldiers shoot with silencers. The bullets from the M-16 rifles tumble end over end through the children's slight bodies. Later, in the hospital, I will see the destruction: the stomachs ripped out, the gaping holes in limbs and torsos." "Yesterday at this spot the Israelis shot eight young men, six of whom were under the age of eighteen. One was twelve. This afternoon they kill an eleven-year-old boy, Ali Murad, and seriously wound four more, three of whom are under eighteen. Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered -- death squads gunned them down in El Salvador and Guatemala, mothers with infants were lined up and massacred in Algeria, and Serb snipers put children in their sights and watched them crumple onto the pavement in Sarajevo -- but I have never before watched soldiers entice children like mice into a trap and murder them for sport." There can be no doubt that Israeli troops have been targeting innocent Palestinian civilians for death from the beginning of the uprising. This understanding was also reflected in UN Security Council Resolution 1322, passed on October 7, 2000, which "Condemns acts of violence, especially the excessive use of force against Palestinians, resulting in injury and loss of human life." In making the moral superiority claim, Israel's apologists are either shamelessly denying the irrefutable evidence cited above and are simply lying, or they are asserting that some forms of murder are morally superior to other forms of murder. |
OK i have a thought on this.
Shouldnt a country with allot of Jewish people make sure that conditions which support genocide dont exist? THeres everything u need for it to occur.

| Originally posted by Cyrus King And what do you say to this? I posted this earlier but you either failed to read it or you probably ignored it like other pro-israeli fundementalists who are blinded by their faith. |
| quote: |
So in fact, the IDF does target innocents... becuase many feel animosity towards them and the suicide bombers that spring from their people. [quote] Can you tell me how a man in a wheel chair, in clear view of a tank can get crushed even as he holds a white flag, and then call that an "accident"? |
| quote: |
Originally posted by Yoepus Your article says nothing. It says more Palestinians civilians die then Israeli civilians, therefore Israel must be evil. Thats the wrong conclusion for a rational stand. We don't judge who is moral, or who is a terrorist by how many people they are able to kill as I am sure you know. Your article is an opiniated editorial that references a human rights group report (which I am unclear how or under what conditions it was conducted) without looking into the report. It just says Israel is "killing to much more civlians then it should" |
| quote: |
Can you tell me how it was not? Didn't they run over a hippie protestor a few feet infront of a bulldozer? Perhaps one doesn't consdier that tanks are farsighted...? |
| quote: |
| Originally posted by Cyrus King HAHHAHAHAHA...thats what you do when you get stuck eh? You totally dismiss the article and findings as if its obscure. The piece actually looks at the numbers in order to look at it from a rational stance...no one in their right mind, except maybe Israeli right winged supporters like you, can deny that the pal death toll is all by "accident"! And you want the report? Here it is http://www.phrusa.org/research/fore...commentary.html |

| Originally posted by Yoepus Good the correct link however is: http://www.phrusa.org/research/fore...el_force_2.html And that is what I am investigating now. Come on Cyrus, you should know me better then that all ready, you know I back up my statements. Just give me sometime and I will disprove to you in a rational sense the objectivisim and conclusions from the observation of the report. Already reading it though it states: PHR's analysis of fatal gun shot wounds in Gaza reveals that approximately 50% were to the head And this just seems to compound the point of their stupidity. I mean what did you want? A person shot in the arm to cause 50% of fatal (mean death making) wounds?? Everyone knows, to kill, you want the head, or the torso (which I am sure accounts for the other 50%) of the fatal GUN SHOT wounds. I mean come, I'm sure the same statistics apply to Palestinians shooting Israelis - that 50% of ALL fatal GUN SHOTs to Israel's from Palestinians are to the head. It's just such a stupid point, that compounds the fact that this is a stupid report.... I mean thats like saying, 50% of people who smoke die of lung cancer, and then trying to blame that 50% statistics as if it has some direct correlation to Israel. Also, even a Israeli right winged supporters like ME, does not can deny that the Palestinian death toll is all by "accident"! I never have, however I do believe 95-98% of it is. You seem to think its more like 20% or 50%.... |
| quote: |
Buh they are equiped with telescopic technology.... thats why they are farsighted. Whats does a telescope allow you to do? see things that are far away.... That is what tanks are built for (you should take my word for this as my avatar is a tank, that must mean I know something about that). Tanks are not built for street fighting, they are built for theatre combat, tank to tank battles. I mean imagine your car with only a little squeek of a window infront and now you have to know what is going around you 360o because some guy on a tranceaddict message board that has way to much sympathy for Palestinians, and not enough for realism wants you to know this. Well its not going to change, no matter how much you want it or how much it is unfair. |

| quote: |
| Yoepus, you have just been owned.... tathi, re-explaining yourself is what you will do here becuase many will fail to see the objectivity in your points. |
In regard to Yoepus' post
| quote: |
| From what I know all you have done is speculative conjecture. You have to make a point here not me! You made a claim that Israel is state sponsoring terrorism, and although you have defined the words you have not brought the facts that prove this. |
| quote: |
| As you see in your own Etymology of the word terror, its main historical link of use is back to the French revolution. |
| quote: |
| I believe it would be much the same. |
| quote: |
| And this proves that the Israeli government are terrorists how? |
| quote: |
| terror: The characterized use of order and planning of an act of aggression to intimidate a weaker person to try and make them do something or cause them to do through pressure on socities or government. The above is your definition, in your other words. |
| quote: |
| You see we can't say they are doing A) Using order and planning and therefore they meet 1 of 3, and now they use agression so they do two of three.. and therefore come to conclusion. And they use pressure to get things done, and so magic they are terrorist. |
| quote: |
| So now like I said in my former post which you obviously did think a minute about, you have to prove that Israel when using its violence in systematic fashion is primarly coercing or intimidating the Palestinians. |

| quote: |
| This is the missing point of your argument. I still have found none. If you mean that Israel is acting illegal then you must be joking, illegal action does not make it terrorism. |
| quote: |
| Israeli violence that says they are using violence only for revenge or to make Palestinian life miserable, but not for other means which one might use violence for, such as say, secuirty. |
| quote: |
| I'm sure you are correct, any child would understand it as a child has no logic or developed rational to comprehend your words and put them into the context they belong, leaving your argument open and pointless. |
| quote: |
| Where'd human rights come into question? Always vering off topic are we? In your definition it does not say that if one does not believe in human rights he is a terrorist, or if one does not respect human rights he is a terrorist. Simply saying they violate human rights will not get you there. |
| quote: |
| This makes sense, say my enemy is using their protected ambulances to ferry troops and ammunition to the frontlines so my army does not attack them. Since they have violated the contract and the protection of such units, I have no moral or legal responsibility to abide by this contract, and may now target ambulances as any other enemy military vehicle. |
| quote: |
| So even though it is a bad definition, and I agree it is fairly vague. If you stick to systematic (of the system or purpose) of violence to coerce or intimidate you still can do a pretty good job of defending someone as a not being a terrorist. |

| quote: |
| Haunted As of right now the Palestinians don't deserve a country. Maybe when they collectively stop acting like a racist death cult, they will. As for civilian casualties in a place like Gaza, they are inevitable. The terrorists intermingle with the civilian population(who, for the most part, show no regrets about supporting them) so it is extremely hard to not kill civilians. When I see the flaming wreckage of a pinto with bodies of Hamas militants hanging out of them, I become very happy. |
| quote: |
| The Palestinians are self-perpetuating problem. They thrive on their backwards, racist, continual refugee status, and gleefully send off their kids to become shahids and kill as many Jews as possible for their belief in a mutation of Islam. You can try to buy into the PC, westernized arguement that this has nothing to do with their enemies being Jews, and that all the Palestinians want is a peaceful nation...But thats total bullshit. |
| quote: |
| They are parasitic, terror state that leeches off the Israeli economy, because they are so ****ed from years of being too ignorant to stop the bombing. |
| quote: |
| Anyways, I have no sympathy for the Palestinians whatsoever and they have shown absolutely no reason to justify giving them a state, other than that it would be a temporary appeasement. I say deal with these ****ers the same way the Arab governments did. Until then, Go IDF and send some of these teenage douchebags to heaven. |

Anyway sorry for the intrusion ... I'm somewhat of a military historian. Also when I was little, my brother was in military intelligence and brought home tech documents and identification profiles of the world's military hardware. They were intersting and I was bored so I memorized them. Shhh don't tell the gov't. Ok back to your regularly scheduled bickering. |
