BTW the news are not "getting murkier". This incident has been so widely reported, it's actually quite hard to miss the details. But you somehow managed. How do you do it? (Where do you get your news? Or rather where do you tend not to get your news and then think you got the news?)
This being the case how did the British soldiers get trapped by the Iraqi Security forces. Why were the Coalition Command structure not notified? Not only that, what authority does the British Army have to raid a Prison under the charge og the Iraqi government. The most important question: How were the soldiers captured in the fi
Perhaps it is time to join the satanists. It does seem as if evil is going to save the world.
If people wake up and elect people to Congress that understand we need a change, 2006 will be the start to change the direction of this country. What change would that be? No more elections in Iraq or Afghanistan?
The rich wage war The poor wage terrorism. Bin Laden is rich. The poor tend to be slaughtered rather than slaughter.
have read your linked article. I'll tell you what with your list you 're going to have a VERY narrow view of things. Why? Because I am interested in sources that mention both Jews and Arabs and their fortunes rather than just one side? How does that result in a very narrow view? Is it not true
We do not agree about what happened in 1948, we are unlikely to agree about what is happening now. Which part exactly do we disagree about? What have I said about events in 1948 that you disagree with? What have you said about events in 1948 that I said I disagree with? <TABLE cellpadding=
Ok, now I did look at page 21 of that document anyway. It's not a source (because it was written in our time, not back then) and the population table refers to the people as "Arabs", not "Palestinians". Perhaps we could agree on the basics if you accept that I didn't say that only Jews were called Palestinians and I never said that the majority of Palestine was Jewish before 1948 either?
Pre-1919 more than 90% of the population in what we refer to as "historic Palestine" or "pre-mandate Palestine" was Arab and less than 10% was Jewish. These people were Palestinians. If you want to check it out, look at page 21 of this document. I am sick and tried of sources who speak of Arabs losing t
Do you believe that the death of the Israelites would truly solve the problem for PA? Not necessarily for the PA, but certainly for the Arab nationalists. In fact, this
You are conflating two different things. 1. The Arab nations; and 2. the Palestinians. You can not hold the Palestinians accountable for what Arab nations (which have effectively turned their backs on them) have done in the past. Yes, I can. If the Palestinians don't distance the
Governor Bush did a great job with the hurricanes we had last year. We have a Governor who is capable of handling the state, but I guess you knew that already. I did. My question was rethorical.
Why do double-quotes ( " ) appear the end of my article? If I edit and remove them, they just reappear when I click on submit... Odd. Annoying!!!
Which came first, the occupation or, as you imply, the "unruly" Palestinians? Considering that the Arabs fought four wars with the goal of completely destroying Israel, I would argue that the "unruly" Arabs came first. Then came some of them, newly renamed as Palestinians (a term previously use
"Tens of thousands of tourists and residents have been ordered to leave the Florida Keys as Tropical Storm Rita heads toward the US chain of islands." That is, apparently, possible. "Governor Jeb Bush has declared a state of emergency, which allows the state to oversee evacuations and call in the National Guard." Should the president i
In the case of Palestinians vs. Israel, this is a big deal. Occupation in this situation means that each side does not have what it wants, ie. its theological homeland. Especially where religious fanaticism is concerned, this is a big deal. Because neither side has what it truly wants, the people of these areas become disenfranch
Since 1994, Palestinians and Israelis have both engaged in terrorist activites. Yes. That is true. But the Israelis that were thus engaged have not been supported by the government of Israel and are considered criminals. So I still do not see your point. I don't care about whether Palestinians
Not at all! Very witty. I enjoyed it. Thank you! (And it appears I have finally learned how to quote!) I'll post more humour in the future, I think. Don't have to focus on politics all time, I guess. OTOH I assume a posting about the situation in Germany, my old home, would be
"If we destroy the powers that employ terrorism, should we destroy Palestine or Isreal first? (Loaded question obviously, but both fit your specified criteria.)" The question is not so much loaded as it is a non-sequitur. Israel does not employ terrorism. You'll have to change the definition of "terrorism" first. But that would somehow destroy the idea of fighting it, wouldn't it? And come to think of it "Palestine" does not employ terrorism either. At least the PLO and PA claim
You can go to war against a tactic by destroying the powers that employ the tactic.
"Most cars driven by Palestinians do not come to a halt, neither do most stand in silence . Why? Because many of them feel that they are lumped in with the nazis and ar blamed for the attrocities done to the Jews." If some or most Palestinians would not co-operate with Nazis like Saddam Hussein and that Syrian mini-dictator, would not burn down synagogues, and would not openly announce that they want to completely destroy Israel, and if those
If only Jews never forget, only Jews will not commit the same crime. That is perhaps why there was no Palestinian genocide.
"Advisers appointed by Tony Blair after the London bombings are proposing to scrap the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day because it is regarded as offensive to Muslims. They want to replace it with a Genocide Day that would recognise the mass murder of Muslims in Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia
(Again something I wrote earlier for my other Web log.) How to shop. Perhaps one of the most misunderstood yet least interesting ventures of the city dweller of today is the act of shopping for food. How does one do it? Step 1: You have to get up. If you lie in bed all day you won't be able to shop much. Step 2: Check the fridg
I wrote this years ago when I lived in Germany. It's about an experience with German bureaucracy. Now I live in Ireland and don't find it funny any more. But you might. Today I had to go get a form from this district's internal revenue service agency. Luckily www.berlin.de gives you ample telephone numbers to call to find out where to get the form i
