Jack, some of your statements are ludricrous. For ex: "They didn't give up their homes and their land easily enough to suit us when we created the Zionist state of Israel." The Palestinians left their homes willingly and were even told to do so by the Arab nations who planned on destroying Israel. I'm not a Zionist. In fact I hate the oppression of any people, but get your facts right. One statement in your comment below is: "The Jews Have Done It" when referring to genocide and ethnic c... [ More ]

You will not put words in my mouth either, nor will you or anyone project onto me an attitude, mindset or intent that does not exist. I've carefully qualified my personal blog comments to make them relevant to the subject of the entry, very clear and easily understood by anyone capable of reading. The rest of my blog contains good articles which I feel offers new information and a different perspective than the one that's been spoon fed daily for mass consumption. Period.

HOW DARE YOU put words in my mouth that I advocate "exterminating Arabs". There could not be anything further from the truth, and your comment is DESPICABLE. I used to enjoy reading whatever you wrote, but that was before you apparently lost your mind. You have become something that I do not wish to discuss, and I will not be participating in any more discussion with such a person.

Actually, csfb, on second thought maybe I'm wrong about that. I used to work with a nurse named Inga. German/American immigrant from the post-WWII years, but was a Hitler Youth during the 3rd Reich. Managed to marry a GI and come to the US after the war. Inga believed, or claimed to believe, that Hitler only did what was necessary where Jews were concerned. She asserted the Jews had a strangle-hold on the German economy. Claimed to believe the Jews were destroying Germany before Hitler... [ More ]

csfb: Frankly, I don't believe you are correct in that assertion. I believe there was never any doubt in the minds of the Brits and Americans about who owned Palestine prior to 1947. Of course they knew. But they felt guilty. They had an agenda. And they had a population of displaced Jews throughout Europe who would never again trust Europeans not to do what they've done throughout European history. They made a value judgement. Nobody really ever doubted what happened at Shatilla. ... [ More ]

You said, "What's wrong is the hypocrisy. The lies." Trouble is, most people do not know they are hypocrites and /or telling lies. Most people think what they are doing and saying are the RIGHT things to do. It is the other person who is wrong , they believe. It's a matter of what lens you are looking from. We all look at things through lenses, some tinted darkly than others. If all lenses were the same, than we aren't in this world.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with racial, ethnic, religious, or patriotic cleansing. Slaughtering, enslaving, and taking the property of people who believe differently from you, who have a different skin color, who speak a different language, so long as they have something you want. The Jews have done it from their earliest history. The Moslems have done it since the beginning. The Christians have done it throughout their own history. The US could never have become grea...

Original Blog Entry: Selective abhorrance of terrorism

Not many years ago, 1987, maybe, the Israeli Defense Forces, moved into Lebanon to intervene in a war between the Christian Phalangists and the Palestine Liberation Front forces.

As they did so, the UN personnel and the PLO combat personnel evacuated by ship, leaving a non-combatant, mostly un-armed population of 1000 Palestinians at the major PLO base at Shatilla, Lebanon.

The Israeli forces moved to surround Shatilla, but didn't enter it. They locked it up so nobody could leave, and brought the Christian Phalangists in to do the dirty work. For 36 hours they lit the sky with flares while the Christians moved in and slaughtered all 1000, every man, woman and child at Shatilla.

A few managed to survive, hiding under the bodies of the dead until the dust settled and the gunfire stopped. Then the Israeli loudspeakers came on. "We are only looking for terrorists. No one else will be harmed. (words to persuade any unlikely survivors to come out with their hands up."

No US president ever became outraged by the slaughter, clearly a military action. Clearly no terrorist act. No wars on THIS terrorism, because the right people were killed by the right people.

We in the US never liked Palestinians. They didn't give up their homes and their land easily enough to suit us when we created the Zionist state of Israel. When they were shoved off into filthy camps in Gaza and elsewhere, they threw rocks at cops and got their ugly pictures in the papers.

The PLO became a leading force among them, dedicated to trying to get the ancestral homeland back by any method. They killed Europeans. Killed some good Americans. Bastards. Their leader dressed the way Jesus must have dressed, dressed the way Matthew, Mark Luke and John probably dressed. Didn't shave often enough.

Let the Christians slaughter them all they want, was the world reaction. They ain't getting their land back. We gave it away, and we wouldn't have done it if we didn't know what was best.

Let the Christians kill them all.

The Lebanese Christian Phalangists did their work at Shatilla, but they ran out of steam. So we had to declare war on terrorists to expand the job.

A holy war with the right people killing the right people.

We've got to do it, because they hate us (gotta wonder why), be....
