"Ok folks, so let's seriously discuss the Israeli/Palestine conflict"


  

          

First... no name bashing. Second... there are no limitations in this discussion... everyone will be criticized, JEW, MUSLIM, ISRAELI, PALESTINIAN, AMERICA, the UN... you name it. So if someone is critical of your group or a group dear to you, please do not call it antisemetic (unless it clearly is) or racist (unless it truly is), anti-kemetic (unless it truly is) and so on.

Let me start by saying I am sorely disgusted and dissapointed in Israel. They ask the Palestinians to have elections and to create a government... and they do... it's Hamas. Hamas wins fair and square and they have given them nothing but problems. The arrogance of Israel and America to A) simply act as if they are the ruling party for both their country and Palestine B)ignore the fact that the people of Palestine democratically elected Hamas C) are doing nothing more than stomping on poor people with nothing, of course they are going to elect Hamas who else is going to be fearless enough to protect them. I think Hamas forming a government is a great thing...
why? Well... for a terrorist/freedom fighting (depends on where you stand) group to organize and become a political party (as were many political parties prior to them becoming one) says a lot about the will of the people and the desire to assimilate.

Let's discuss Hamas, Sharon, the new cat, the West Bank and so on.
Let's build.

1. "So what was even the point of the elections? Fuck Olmert."
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

And please don't say "Hamas is a terrorist organization..." cause all governments are terrorist organizations... and not to mention if they would have lost... then the Israeli government would be saying "hey you lost fair and square... people chose their government democratically"... the reason they won? It was almost impossible for the US and Israel to get a plant into Palestine... real talk.

Olmert says Israel will draw own borders By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer
20 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday that Israel would be a "willing partner in peace" with the Palestinians, but would draw its own borders in the West Bank should it conclude it has no negotiating partner.

"We cannot wait for the Palestinians forever," Olmert told members of the House and Senate gathered in the House chamber.

"Our deepest wish is to build a better future for our region, hand in hand with a Palestinian partner, but if not, we will move forward, but not alone," he said, alluding to promised U.S. support.

Olmert drew a sustained standing ovation when he declared, "We will not yield to terror," a reference to suicide attacks on Israelis such as those that killed a 16-year-old American high school student observing the Passover holiday in Israel this year. Daniel Wultz's parents sat in the House chamber, sobbing, as Olmert mentioned their son.

Olmert said the West Bank withdrawal is vital to Israel's security and the cause of peace and cannot go forward without U.S. support.

In a policy shift on Tuesday, the White House gave unexpected backing to Israel's plan to unilaterally set its borders with the Palestinians should their new Hamas leaders refuse to disarm and renounce their call for Israel's destruction.

The president praised what he called Olmert's "bold ideas" for acting on its own in the event that talks founder on the internationally backed "road map" peace plan.

From the U.S. Capitol podium on Wednesday, Olmert called on the moderate Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to seek a negotiated solution — the preferred route for both Olmert and Bush.

"With a genuine Palestinian partner for peace, I believe we can reach an agreement on all the issues that divide us," the Israeli leader said.

If the Palestinians "ignore our outstretched hand for peace," Olmert said, "Israel will seek other alternatives to promote our future and the prospects of hope in the Middle East."

Hamas' victory in January Palestinian parliamentary elections damped peace prospects because of the group's violently anti-Israel ideology. The Bush administration considers Hamas to be a terrorist organization, and has acknowledged the obstacles Israel is liable to face in trying to make peace with Abbas, who was elected separately last year.

After the two men met on Tuesday, Bush said Olmert's ideas "could lead to a two-state solution if a pathway to progress on the road map is not opened in the period ahead."

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, an Abbas ally, welcomed Bush's call for negotiations. But he rejected the notion of an imposed solution.

" President Bush said the first option is negotiation," Erekat told The Associated Press. "There is no other option."

Olmert, making his first visit to the U.S. since winning election in March, told Congress that Israel has learned it must give up some of its dreams in the interest of a secure future for a Jewish democratic state.

"We hope and pray that our Palestinian neighbors will also awaken," he said.

In Jerusalem, a senior Cabinet member close to Olmert said if Hamas does not recognize Israel and renounce violence within six months Israel will move ahead with plans to unilaterally draw its final borders by 2010.

"If these things don't happen, we won't wait for years, but rather we will wait until the end of this year," Haim Ramon told Israel Radio. "This will be a year of diplomacy."

"First negotiations, and after the negotiations, if it doesn't succeed and it becomes clear that there is no (Palestinian) partner, we will move ahead with the consolidation plan," Ramon said.

Olmert has given Abbas a tall order for proving Palestinian commitment to negotiating a final deal.

After six hours of meetings and dinner with Bush that Abbas would have to disarm Palestinian militant groups; the Palestinian government would have to recognize Israel; and previous agreements would have to be fully put in place.

Fighting has intensifying between Abbas loyalists and Hamas gunmen, and Hamas has refused to moderate its stance on Israel, raising questions about the Palestinian president's ability to deliver.

Abbas refused to disarm Palestinian factions even before Hamas swept to power in January parliamentary elections, fearing that would provoke civil war. Hamas has rejected international demands that it lay down its guns, recognize Israel and honor previous peace agreements.

Olmert told reporters he would meet with Abbas, but did not say when.

In his appearance with Bush, Olmert reaffirmed his ideas for Israel's final borders: The major Jewish settlement blocs on the West Bank where most of the 250,000 settlers live would become part of Israel, with most other settlements dismantled.

2. "I'm glad Hamas won"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

It eliminates all the ambiguity. If Hamas continues to carry out terroist attacks, then they're doing it in the name of the country. Thus, anything the country gets back as a result, they deserve. The argument that "Hamas is a terrorist group but most Palestinians want peace" is now dead, if they wanted peace, the wouldn't have elected Hamas.

Democracy is great.

3. "It's funny how when white folks kill... they are right..."
In response to Reply # 2


  

          

and when people of color kill they are terrorist...
actually Hamas is the only thing the Palestinian people have defending them... if they are a terrorist group then so is the Israeli army.
Death is death... no matter who's behind it.

I don't consider them a terrorist group and never have... that's white folks. White folks are afraid of what they cannot control... they fear what they don't understand. White folks understand going into Palestine and bulldozing innocent people... but don't understand why those same innocent people would ban together and do whatever it takes to respond. It's their typical double standard. As much of a double standard as George Bush demanding that Palestine chose peace.

The corruption in the Fatah goverment, the plight of the Palestinians ignored by the Israeli govenment and the US is what brought Hamas to power.

It seems to me Hamas is more of a burden to the Palestinians than Arafat was. Hamas isn't interesting in forming a democracy.

In response to Reply # 18


  

          

I noticed how you have simply undestimated the Palestinian people... as if they couldn't decide for themselves... the logical choice was Hamas... cause they defend thier people like any other government run by white folks.. by violence... I'm sorry but that's just the truth.
However when they do it they are terrorists... when Bush and Isreal does it, it's for 'peace'? How does that work?

42. "It works"
In response to Reply # 40


  

          

Like this :

When a Shaheed goes to war he has no enemy, god is his only commander and he works for god, a Shaheed kills blindly and relentlessly untill he will be dead himself. A Shaheed's war is one of vengance and ruthlessness, one of self redemption...

A Shaheed kills without prejiduce and without distinction.

Usually, Shaheed's are supported by Terrorist Organizations, the Shaheed is supplied with weapons and information.

When Israel or the USA attack,they target Men and women who are guilty of crimes, documented crimes that have PROOF of existence.

PROOF. Remember that word?

Allthough innocent by standers get hurt from the Military attacks done by the USA or Israel, they are not targeted, they are mistakes.

Innocent by standers ARE the target of the Shaheed.

Thats the difference.

Both sides are equally guilty for violence and killing innocent bystanders... pure BS.

Also, when Hamas would attack public buses it was because the Israeli Army used those buses to go to their stations...

please money... pull the wool over someone elses eyes... I KNOW what the fuck I'm talkin about.

They are BOTH guilty... Israel is no better than the Hamas in their 'terrorist days'.

The complex is yours, your the one with the complex.

I beleive what I say is true.

How superior of me to think im correct, how dare I?

Israel is better than the Hamas.
Israel does not educate children in schools to hatred and fanaticism towaords Zionist's and westerner's, Israel does not affiliate children to political/terrorist movements when they can barley say "Ima" and take thier picture with an AK to put on the mantle.


On that point, Israel is better than the Hamas.

In response to Reply # 40


  

          

>However when they do it they are terrorists... when Bush and
>Isreal does it, it's for 'peace'? How does that work?

And as for the Palestinian people voting for Hamas, I did not mean to imply that they didn't make that decision for themselves. I fully acknowledge that they did. However, I'm more concerned with understanding why the Palestinian people chose Hamas. On this question you have made your opinion clear ("Hamas is a government that defends its people").

I think the Palestinian people would be better off with a government that put peace and compromise as its top priorities, not one that seems to be dedicated to the destruction of Israel and an armed 'defense' of it's people.

Similarly, Israel would be better off (ie more peaceful and suffer less death) if they elected leaders that were grounded in political/diplomatic reality and were willing to compromise. By now it should be obvious to all Israelis how little peace can be achieved by heavy-handed tactics such as "targeted killings" (ugly euphemism) or "occupation" (oppression).

In the modern world, a nation's short term solution to an outside threat always seems to be a military one. But in the long run I think this doesn't end up achieving any kind of security.

For example, George W. Bush can go around the world starting all the wars he wants and killing all the Osama Bin Laden's he can find. And that might prevent the next 9/11. But in the long run it will never end terrorism, in fact as Iraq has shown it might increase it. And that's the fundamental flaw with the modern concept of (armed) security defense.

If you rely on bullets more than words and actions, you will never find ultimate peace.

And yes, I am speaking on an unrealistically idealistic plane. I understand why little of what I've said above will mean anything to a Palestinian woman who lost her family as 'collateral damage' in an Israel army raid, or an Israeli Mom who lost her kids in a suicide bomb at a cafe.

But then again, I think it is a leader's responsibility to have broad, sometimes revolutionary vision in order to achieve what's best for his or her people:

LONG.
TERM.
PEACE.

Sure, they participate in elections but like i said before, with Hamas now in power, i doubt there would be any change between the two states.

Oh, and if you do look the history of Hamas, you'll know that they aren't for democracy with some of their stances on other issues. I would compare them to the evangelicals in this country.

It's the same shit...
don't act like Ariel Sharon was some democratic/peaceloving entity..
please...
they said that if Palestine wanted a space at the table... they should hold democratic elections... they did. Hamas won... what's the problem? Now you want to point to thier history when they are conforming? You see that's the problem... democracy is only good when it benefits white folks... that's just the truth. Same thing with the court systems...
example...
white folks in the us lynch black men, hung them from trees, dragged them from cars, beat their head in like Emitt Till, stuck plungers up their ass by the cops, shot them 44 times like Amadou Diallo... yet Oj gets is found innocent and white people call that 'the crime of the century'... sometimes I wonder if they can see anything but their reflection in the mirror. Sigh.

I have no problem with the elections, Hamas is now a democratically elected and the Israelis have to find some way to work with these guys which going to be difficult. My problem is how some people are praising Hamas which i think is a mistake. If you knew some of the positions hamas stood for, you would understand what i'm saying. Don't think for a second Hamas is in lock step with anything progressive.

That's why i compare them to the evangelicals in this country.

Sun... everytime I turn around they claiming they are God's children and that's why they deserve the land... and that's not fanaticism?
If it's not fanaticism... then why do they keep taking more and more land... even more than the original agreements gave them?
Please... money they are all guilty. That's what I'm saying, your slanted... as if Hamas are any fouler than the US Gov., the Israeli Gov... nah... they might be white folks worst nightmare, but that's white folks problem... they have been everyone elses worst nightmare forever... but then that's what happens when you keep fucking with people. They react. Hence Hamas. They are obviously trying to be progressive... think about it... they gave up being a asssasinating, kidnapping, suicide bombing organization to be a political party. Just like white folks did right here in the US. So yeah... it is progressive.

Hamas still hasn't distanced itself from its stance that israel should not exist. sounds more like they've expanded into non-violent political participation as well, but they've yet to say no to terror, unless i missed something.

What comes around has a way of going around.

I'm sure Hamas will renounce terrorism when ISRAEL does.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hamas recognized Israel as a country--AFTER Israel recognizes the Basic Civil Rights of Law Abiding Non-Violent Palestinians.

as a resounding "no, they haven't denounced terrorism or their ultimate goal of destroying Israel". You two were the ones who added in any sense of moral relativism or comparison. I asked if something had happened, neither of you answered the question directly. that's a shame.

it'd have been just as easy to go: "no, they haven't. But..." Interesting that you decided against including the "no, they haven't" part.

In response to Reply # 134


  

          

political process should show you they are distancing themselves from that belief. Keep this in mind as well... it is Israel who is occupying more land that wasn't even given to them by the UN in the first place... you see the argument of whether or not Israel should exist, for me, is pretty silly, it DOES exist and it should. Mind you, I don't think that it was fair how the land was given... cause the relocation of Jews wasn't Palestine's problem... however that has long since been over and done with. The fact that they govern the land, police the land, take more at will (GAZA strip)... that's a problem. Mind you, they didn't do this through negotiations... they did this with brute force. I often think this is exactly why it's difficult for either side to negotiate. I often hear Jews say they want to run us out to the sea... but i have never heard THEM say it. Not saying it wasn't said.. I remember the Egyptian President making that claim... not any Palestinian leader. However... my point is this...
I find it odd that the playing field isn't levelled
the foreign relaionts with other countries is one sided
Israel contorls everything from the distribution of water and electricity to the Palestinians
the rodes have been limited
a wall has been built
there is no Palestinian voice to the world
and there is no one held accountable for deaths against Palestinians... yet people cannot believe they are using all kinds of foul tricks like suicide bombings to make a statment. My point is only this BOTH ISRAEL AND PALESTINE SHOULD RENOUNCE TERRORISM CAUSE THEY BOTH USE IT. That's the problem.

>political process should show you they are distancing

THEY'VE SPECIFICALLY DENIED THAT. All Israel and the West are asking for in order to free up the loans and aid programs is for Hamas to recognize the state of Israel and renounce the use of terror. Not its borders, but just the fact that it exists as a state and previous agreements made by the palestinian government. That's it. they are unwilling to do that. Either acknowledge that truth and then make your point, or continue to skirt the original point. option a is progress, option b is just annoying and, i think, makes you look bad.

here's a quote from wikipedia:
After the establishment of Hamas government, Dr Al-Zahar stated his "dreams of hanging a huge map of the world on the wall at my Gaza home which does not show Israel on it...I hope that our dream to have our independent state on all historic Palestine (including Israel). This dream will become real one day. I'm certain of this because there is no place for the state of Israel on this land". He also "didn't rule out the possibility of having Jews, Muslims and Christians living under the sovereignty of an Islamic state, adding that the Palestinians never hated the Jews and that only the Israeli occupation was their enemy"."

I mean, here's their charter/covenant:
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Hamas_Covenant

some choice quotes from it:
"Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse directed against part of religion. Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion. Its members have been fed on that. For the sake of hoisting the banner of Allah over their homeland they fight. "Allah will be prominent, but most people do not know.""
"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with."

an alternative translation is here:http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=sd&ID=SP109206

for more info, i went to al jazeera:
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/E20904D2-22D6-4C7A-B6A0-9341239D3D38.htm
some more info:
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1107AP_Israel_Palestinians.html

Stop making this into something else. In this thread, I asked a simple, perhaps pointed, but very simple question: had something happened that I had heard nothing about but you were insinuating had happened. You've taken it to absurd places though, when, if this were a discussion of any repute (or even a debate of any repute, hi Nettrice...) you'd have acknowledged the truth AND moved forward. However, you don't.

So, to paraphrase what has become something like a mantra of yours, this ain't about me...add something to the discussion or move along.

does Israel recognize Palestine? what about Palestine's right to certain areas? How about the true owner of the Gaza strip? Settler's? think about it... again it goes both ways.

I know those quotes are bullshit...
cause that's not what Jihad really means. Again propoganda... however only a trained eye can spot it. Again, I question those quotes...

Also, all I asked for was lineage. How come everytime I ask that question I never get an answer? Probably cause again... race isn't the issue here (that was the original argument) religion is.

I hate to say this cause I'm not for either side...
but apply Israel everywhere those quotes said Palestine and it looks like a typical Israeli government comment... my point?
again... they are BOTH guilty... why is that so hard to admitt?
Israel and Hamas are both guilty of terrorist actions... money that's a fact.

Wikipedia is subject to any manner of internet cliquey bullshit with these "volunteer submissions" garbage.

To reference wikipedia for anything OTHER THAN basic stuff is just STUPID.

227. "this is embarrassing"
In response to Reply # 226


  

          

Two points/questions:

1. Do you have a problem with the alternative translation? Do you think it is substantially different? Did you bother to check? Doing that, instead of just attacking one of my (many) sources would have actually been constructive. As it stands, the other translation is practically identitical in the two quoted locations. So, do you have something against the middle east media research institute? Do you have a third translation you find more legitimate that does not say such things? Or did you just decide to attack a source and disregard the rest of the point?

2. Considering the attack on Israeli soldiers and kidnapping of a soldier and Hamas' response to it (putting aside for the moment one's views of its legitimacy as a response to Israeli attacks), do you still hold to the belief that Hamas has renounced its support for terror as a tactic? With what actual evidence?

it's both fanaticism... I'm absolutely amazed you cannot see that...

In other words... fanaticism is often times inspired by that which is not reality.... which can be an issue.

How do they get to govern and make decisions for a people who have been living there for thousands of years?

Who gave them the power to tell another state they should choose... anything?

Who's keeping thier eye on Isreal?

Why is it everytime someone criticizes them they are anti-semetic?

The Israeli government and semetism are two completely different items.

It amazes me to not hear open criticism of both, Israel and Hamas...
Israel can bulldoze people, shoot innocent girls... and all I'm hearing is Hamas is a terrorist group? WHAT?!?!?!?

I am open to critizism, but not nonsence.
If you dont recognize Hamas as a terrorist party ASWELL as other affiliations, there can be no longer talk with you.
Hamas is a terrorist group, its hard to add anything afterwards,
Oh, Hamas is a terrorist group , and they arrange the donation of second hand books from Damascus...

Isreal's tanks would be Goliath...
Palestine's rocks and suicide bombers would be david's slingshot...

but that's too real for ya'll... the fact that brown people are fighting back is too heavy for ya'll...
first...
Israel is foul... they have 9,000 captured Palestinians citizens and soldiers being held without reason... and yet they want to destroy palestine over one Israeli soldier... who I guarantee... was a plant.

you see... whenever people of color defend themselves and fight back... they are terrorists... whenever whites take advantage of brown people... it's cause God said so...

Manifest Destiney
Zionism... one in the same.

tho i dont think it was. i was just stating a reason why palestians would vote for hamas. i agree with everything you just typed, notice 'terrorist acts/defense.' i was just talking about it today. and have u ever seen Arab broadcast of this? man, its unreal. how many palestinians have been injured or killed 'over' this one israeli who is still alive? it sure as hell sounds planted...just another justandcause reason for more bombings to 'protect the state of Israel.' If arabs were only as cohesive as Jews.

The issue to face now is not the whole picture, not the whole history but today, and today 30 palestinians were killed, 30. Men with guns mostly, not teddy bears, cooks and carpenters , but men with guns.
yesterday 13
today 30
tommorow 60?


This is war.
You fight either with weapons or diplomatic channels, what method do you see as most usefull?

and stop with the fucking rock vs. tank shit, its old, there are so many weapons coming in from the Philadelphi strip, the border with egypt is totally breached and mass amounts of weapons are being brought in daily. so stop the bullshit with the fucking rocks, those kids should be at home, not in this fucking mess...

Shooting at Israel is not a good idea. It wont do you any good in the long run, and its about time someone recognizes that.



AGAIN

it amazes me how when Israel wants to use the Bible to defend their HORRIBLE actions... they can... yet when the David and Goliath theory is used for Palestine it's "what book?"...

look... Israel is rich and powerful... but it shouldn't be feared... it's no more protected by God than any other country or location... cause WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN... Palestine included my friend.

It's cool to be tough when you are beating up on poor people...
who's land it actually belongs to...
but of course if another country comes in and does harm to Israel... it's called 'weep for the cameras... make sure you get my profile'...
bullshit. Spare me money...

Israel is as wrong as Palestinians who have taken the worst route...
however, poverty has a way of doing that... what's your excuse being that Israel is one of the richest places on earth?

Oh, so ok...

GREAT ANALOGY MAN WOW!! ITS TRUE!! IT MATCHES!! YOUR RIGHT! ITS LIKE DAVID AND GOLIATH RIGHT NOW!! THE WEAK AGAINST THE STRONG!!! NO SHIT!!!

Would you fight mike tyson if you kept on getting k.o'ed?
Boom your down, you get up, your down, you get up, eventually tyson is gonna fucking kill you, its about time you realize your weaker than tyson and try something else.

>look... Israel is rich and powerful... but it shouldn't be
>feared... it's no more protected by God than any other country
>or location... cause WE ARE ALL GODS CHILDREN... Palestine
>included my friend.

Why shouldnt it be feared? The US is feared, britian is feared, france,germany,korea,iran motherfucking norway are feared, cause usually when you attack someone they attack back...

Any attack IS fear,it comes from fear, fear is a main issue.
what do you think military parades are for?
And if the palestinians were a little more afraid of Israel they would stop firing missles, and thats what Israel is trying to do AGAIN, is to let them know we wont take thier shit, and they need to stop.

I lost you man, cameras and what?
what other country is harming israel?
No countries are harming israel, Palestine is not a country yet, get it through your head. PUT HISTORY ASIDE, HISTORY IS NOT PART OF DAILY WARFARE. AND DAILY WARFARE IS THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW, NOT LAND OR MONEY OR OPRESSION, ITS ABOUT WAR!!!!! GUNS FIRE BULLETS ONLY WITH FINGERS ON THE TRIGGER, IF THE FINGER IS OFF THE TRIGGER NO BULLETS WILL BE FIRED.
To have a country you need to do many things.
Many of who the palestinian LEADERS ARE NOT DOING.

4. "voting for Hamas is fine, it's hamas' unrelenting stance"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

of not recognizing the legitimacy of the state of israel that is behind the withholding of funds (officially, at least). So, Hamas winning could be a great thing, as we all agreed on a couple months ago in a post about it, for the peace process if by being elected, they force the moral argument to a new equation in which Israel and the actual revolutionaries/militants/terrorists talk, instead of an old-guard PLO that had become a farce of itself.

But, if Hamas is unwilling to acknowledge the legitimacy of a state of Israel, do you really expect Israel to recognize and fund it? Take it to an abstraction: if your enemy, who has vowed to crush you, is elected to a position, would you give him money you promised the holder of that position, or would you hold it until the enemy said they would no longer try to crush you?

overall, in an odd way, hamas' election brought me some optimism, optimism that might disappear soon if someone doesn't break the impasse soon.

6. "By even allowing elections Hamas has acknowledged Israel"
In response to Reply # 4


  

          

and several things are wrong with your response...
the world should be funding palestine to help it's disparity...
not Israel.. the tone of your respond insists that Palestine is the problem... that's not accurate or fair... Israel has to acknowledge the Hamas elected government and Hamas has to acknowledge Israel... it goes both ways. to simply point the finger at Palestine and say "oh they have sworn to x, y z" is only adding to the problem.

First, Palestinians were there first.
Keep that book shit out of it. Cause if I were to sieze a city and say that God promised me that city, you would call me what I am.. fucking nuts. Okay fine, they are there... Israel is there... so they have to move past that... the shit was foul... and I have never heard anyone own up to the fact that Israel was FOUL for that shit... but then that just goes back to the elitism. Okay fine.. moving past that... both parties now have to accept the other...
HAMAS IS NO MORE VIOLENT THAN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT/ARMY.
I HAVE SEEN FOOTAGE OF HAMAS TAKING HOSTAGES... FOUL
I HAVE SEEN FOOTAGE OF THE ISRAELI SOLDIERS GUNNING DOWN 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS AND LAUHING ABOUT IT... FOUL.
In order for this conflict to be resolved... Israel should not hold ANY power over Palestine... that's the problem...
they have their hands bent back and they are demanding Palestine says UNCLE. They need to respect their brothers and sisters first... if they ever have any plans on living alongside them.
They just can't take land when they want
control the water when they want
control the electricity when they want
control the roads
put curfews on the Palestinians
make the Palestinians where badges(Like the NAZIS DID THE JEWS - how ironic).
To me, the oppression that Israel has placed on Palestine is nothing short of a modern day Nazi Germany.

aqua.

>and several things are wrong with your response...

>disparity...

EU funds were being held, as well as American funds. The point is, that the west and Israel won't fund a Palestinian government that doesn't even believe Israel has a right to exist. that seems reasonable.

>not Israel.. the tone of your respond insists that Palestine
>is the problem... that's not accurate or fair... Israel has to
>acknowledge the Hamas elected government and Hamas has to
>acknowledge Israel... it goes both ways.

Israel has publicly said that once Hamas acknowledge's Israel's right to exist, it will fund and work with the new government. And hamas hasn't done this. I'm not saying Palestine or Hamas are at fault, but on this one specific point, I think the proverbial ball is indeed in Hamas' court. I'm honestly hopefuly in regards to what they'll do.

to simply point the
>finger at Palestine and say "oh they have sworn to x, y z" is
>only adding to the problem.
>

i'm sorry if you read that intention into the post. I was just trying to state that now that Hamas is in power, it has a unique and wonderful opportunity to really change a fucked up situation.

>First, Palestinians were there first.
>Keep that book shit out of it.

book shit? What? huh? i thought we weren't getting name calling and you're getting real testy really quick.

Cause if I were to sieze a

>what I am.. fucking nuts. Okay fine, they are there... Israel

to claim israel was "foul" for its creation is to claim it an "illegitimate country", something that i'm not going to do. Palestine wasn't there first, Palestinians, fine, but not "palestine". But this is a tangent to my point.

>HAMAS IS NO MORE VIOLENT THAN THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT/ARMY.
>I HAVE SEEN FOOTAGE OF HAMAS TAKING HOSTAGES... FOUL
>I HAVE SEEN FOOTAGE OF THE ISRAELI SOLDIERS GUNNING DOWN 13
>YEAR OLD GIRLS AND LAUHING ABOUT IT... FOUL.

agreed that both do foul things. i do have a question, though: were the hamas hostage takers ever put to any sort of justice? were the israeli army guys? i don't know. I'd hope the answer to both is "yes", but i doubt it in both cases. but this is not the point of my post, this is again a tangent (albeit an important one, but not related to my point from the original post).

>In order for this conflict to be resolved... Israel should not
>hold ANY power over Palestine... that's the problem...
>they have their hands bent back and they are demanding
>Palestine says UNCLE. They need to respect their brothers and

but what exactly is israel supposed to do? Remember, it can't let terrorist attacks go without some sort of response, so what do you legitimately propose it do instead?

>They just can't take land when they want
>control the water when they want
>control the electricity when they want

"wear". and please, let's not make israel/nazi comparisons. i'm trying to be civil, even after all the inflammatory crap from all sides (including from me). that's just inflammatory.

>To me, the oppression that Israel has placed on Palestine is
>nothing short of a modern day Nazi Germany.
>

i'll be clear here: calling israel a "modern day nazi germany" is, to me, a hateful thing to say. a way to end a discussion. call israel abhorrent, mistaken, foul, but compare to naziism and it's hard for me to be rational in response. very hard. please, if you'd like to engage with me (and likely any other jew) on this issue, avoid that comparison.

22. "Nazism & genocide"
In response to Reply # 19


  

          

Nazism was one of the most extreme instances of genocide in human history. I think it's an unproductive exaggeration to put the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in the same category as something that killed 6 million* people in about 8-10 years (or however long).

To a certain extent I agree with you, murder is murder and oppression is oppression. However, in this particular post, I think there are far more constructive and accurate ways to describe the Palestinian conflict than calling it Nazisim.


*my bad writing 8 million earlier

In response to Reply # 22


  

          

your judging the torture, torment, and destruction of the people by the 6million dead... you shouldn't have to... first, it doesn't matter if 6 million were murdered in 6 months or 60 years... it's still murder...
look at the tactics used in Nazi Germany

isolation of a people
making people wear badges
control of all resources
telling people where to go and how to get there
producing papers on demand by the police
night raids
arresting all males for no reason
labelling men as terrorists and taking them away for undisclosed amounts of times even years
attacking their villages
bulldozing homes with people in them
killing on sight if palestinians cross certain border lines
promoting derogatory images and promoting them as truth

this falls in line with what has always happened... when the Oppressed adopts the mentality of it's Opressor and passes it along...
you see this same format in black on black crime... it's quite parallel...
also... again... who's keeping count of how many palestinians have been murdered? Mind you... they didn't even have a government to track such things... I'm sure if we could do a total since the start of this conflict the numbers would be startling...

There are tons of similarites between Palestine and Nazi Germany, but for me the defining aspect of the Holocaust was the genocide and the murder totals. The gas chambers, the death trains, the mass graves, those are the so-called signatures of Nazi Germany to most people. So that is why I, and many others, don't view Israel and Nazi Germany in the same light.

I understand why you view the two situations the same, you explained it well. I just don't agree, and I hope you can accept that.

20th/21st century genocide and mass-murder is my (non-professional) historian focus. While I care very deeply about Israel and Palestine, from my strictly academic perspective, I do not focus on it the way I focus on the Armenians in Turkey, the Holocaust, Cambodia, the Kurds in Iraq, the Balkans, Rwanda and now Sudan. Basically I am a disciple of Samantha Powers.

This book is one of my bibles:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060541644/sr=8-1/qid=1148658628/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8683006-5489602?%5Fencoding=UTF8


>also... again... who's keeping count of how many palestinians
>have been murdered?

For what it's worth, the AP tracks the Palestinian (and Israeli) deaths in the current intifada and I believe the totals right now around are very roughly around 4000-5000 Palestinians and 2000 or so Israelis.

Obviously this conflict in its modern form goes back to the middle 20th century, but I don't see how the sheer numbers can compare to the 6 million of the Holocaust.

yes but you are comparing end result numbers and are not acknowledging a holocaust in progress... it's like what if I would have come into Germany before the relocation plan and not notice the red flags
escalating hatred towards the jews
id badges
day to day life boundaries placed on them by the government
anti-jewish rhetoric from the government...
the key to identifying a holocaust is to notice the red flags... before it gets to the boiling point of a nazi germany... not afterward. That's how you stope it.
I hear you however.

So this is your logic for defending the ceation of Israel? Reguardless of what youknow, you refuse to acknowledge Israel as foul because that would make it an illegitimate country, something you just won't accept.

How is Israel any different from many of the countries we accept as 'legitimate'?

At this point in time I'm not questioning Israel's legitimacy, but Jersey's logic for not accepting Israel's foul behavior from the time it was created because HE deduces that to do so would be calling Israel an "illegitimate country"

28. "no, that wasn't it"
In response to Reply # 26


  

          

i'll go in slightly more depth, but only slight:

aquaman pulled the thread away from what it had been talking about: hamas' election and the israeli response and started just throwing out the talkingpoints against israel. but he was careful to use the term "foul" as though it were a more fair term than others that had been used.

I pointed out that by using the term "foul" as he did, he was calling Israel an "illegimate country" in my terms. clearly, i don't believe that, and I certainly don't believe israel is to blame for the decisions of Britain and the UN on how to create Israel and the arab reaction to that decision. So I said i'm not going to do that.

I went into no more depth because:
1. Anyone who reads okactivist knows i'm supportive of israel's right to exist
2. it was tangential to my point and had i addressed it in any more detail, the conversation would have focused on that instead of the other points in the thread that i was and am actually much more interested in discussing.

but, continue to call me a zionist fundamentalist even as you continue to not know what i think of the settlers, likud, or sharon. enjoy.

Britian and the UN created Israel at the insistance of European Jews, so to hold Jews blameless for the creation of Israel is b s.


>I went into no more depth because:
>1. Anyone who reads okactivist knows i'm supportive of
>israel's right to exist

...and Israel's right to exist (at the expense of an indigenous people) is based on what? Some Biblical claim? There is certainly no ethnic or historical claim. This is why people like you are just as much fundamentalist as the Muslims you so label. You may not be fanatical but Zionism is definitely a fundamentalist philosophy.

You can hate all of those people/groups and still be a fundamentalist.

Britian and the UN created Israel at the insistance of

blameless is not the right term either. but it's not as simple as anyone here has communicated it is, and i'm tired of that discussion. honestly. i'm just fucking tired of having you call me a zionist fundamentalist when you've never really probed me about what i really think, how i really am, because you've got me figured out so easily and to probe might complicate it. so i get defensive. fuck.

this is what i'm talking about. this is the conversation I'm not trying to have right now cuz I just can't take it. Israel isn't that serious an issue to me, I'm really not that beholden to it as a concept. What gets to me is when I feel, as a Jew, pigeonholed and accused of fundamentalism. I didn't say you had to agree with my view, I said anyone on this board knows what my view is, so i was short with it.

and notice how you're trying to pull it back to that issue. just out of respect for me as a fellow participant in a discussion, give me a damn break, please.

yep, you're definitely enjoying claiming a whole lot about me with little knowledge. still enjoying it? gonna do some more? perhaps this time i'll be just another jew claiming victimhood or something.

I'm here trying to reason with you. Of coarse ego gets involved on all sides at times and the conversation gets more or less heated, but hopefully reason should prevail at the end of the discussion.

In response to Reply # 54


  

          

i've just hit a roadblock in my ability to have this particular discussion right now. i do not believe you mean to insult, but our disagreement has gotten me to be relatively inarticulate and frustrated by that inarticulate. hence a cease-fire (a somewhat inappropriate term, I know).

i've appreciated the fact that we've been able to go back-and-forth and it hasn't devolved into personal insults with intent for malice. I really do, and i don't want that to be lost in my admitting i've lost my will to continue right now.

I'm not blaiming the Jews for what the UN did... it's just when the Palestinian side of the conflict is presented, the fact they have lived there for thousands of years... the argument always goes back to the book and the fact God promised it to them... which isn't a sound argument at all...

Why isnt it a sound argument?
Its maybe the oldest document known to man, all of a sudden it doesnt mean anything?

When your own logic tells you

Old bible > New bible > koran

as you said in the Jesus post, then your knowlege tells you that all religions started at the same place, what place is that?


I am worried about new Minister of Defence Amir Peretz decissions latley, he is unexperienced and is showing an impatient trigger finger, i dont like it at all.

Actually the oldest documents known to man are from Egypt... and they are not the Torah... and it doesn't mean anything... it's a RELIGION.
The entire world doesn't consist of Jews... so therefore it's not superior to anything... thanks.
If your talking land, money, and politics... leave God out of it. Anything less, is fanaticism.

it's based on the facts on the ground. Israel DOES exist - whether or not you *want* it to exist is irrelevant to that reality.

and there is an ethnic and historical claim, although that doesn't justify it (but we're past the "justify" point here, so that's really irrelevant at this point)

The vast majority of those living in Israel and those who govern Israel have ABSOLUTELY NO ETHNIC OR HISTORICAL CLAIM to that land or people. I already explained this in the other Israel post and most Jews are already aware of this. Most can trace their roots back to Eastern Europe and Russia, and you could probably do the same(call it a stab in the dark).

This is a excellent point... they don't have any claim to the land...
this is why I brought up the sillyness of the book...
cause that's why it's used as a defense mechanism.

then why are you even debating the issue of Israel's right to exist? you're about 60 years late for that argument.

>The vast majority of those living in Israel and those who

>that land or people.

1. about 20% of the population of Israel is Arab, and about half the Jewish population in Israel is of Mizrahi, Sephardic, and African heritage - i.e., the majority of those living in Israel cannot trace their roots back to Eastern Europe.

2. genetic studies have shown that Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jews can trace their lineage back to middle-eastern populations, as has been discussed on these boards before:

http://board.okayplayer.com/okp.php?az=show_topic&forum=9&topic_id=63114&mesg_id=64147#64147

so you're wrong on multiple levels.


>I already explained this in the other
>Israel post and most Jews are already aware of this.

then your explanation was flat-out wrong.


>trace their roots back to Eastern Europe and Russia, and you
>could probably do the same(call it a stab in the dark).

Western Europe and East Africa for me, actually, but also south Arabia if you go back far enough, just like Jews from Eastern Europe can trace theirs back to the Levant. if you could get past your emotional knee-jerk reaction, you'd realize that these are not mutually exclusive propositions.

see post 30. It's always nice to read the previous comments before you jump in with your own. And just because something happened 60 years ago doesn't justify its existance, unless of coarse your morality is rooted in Zionist fundamentalism and not Jewish law- the epitome of a fake ass "jew".

for SOME eastern european jews to share a common genetic marker with other jews is quite plausible if you understand jewish history and migration routes over the last 1500 years. the origin of eastern european jewry, or 'ashkenazim' was debated for a long time, because they could not be attributed to any known jewish migration of the diaspora. The askenazim have no historical origin in palestine at all. they are descendants of russian steppe tribesman who were converted to judaism about 740a.d. for political convenience thanks primarily to the work of jewish historian A.N. Poliac of israel, the mystery of the ashkenazim has been largely cleared up with a plethora of historical documentation. poliak's first major work on this subject was an article in Zion(1941), published in Jerusalem under the title "The Kazar Conversion to Judaism." poliak's research has been fully supported by the excavations of the soviet archeologist M.I. Artomonov, who published "Kazar History" (leningrad, 1962). needless to say, no one has been particularly anxious to make these works available in english to americans. however, the noted jewish writer, Arthur Koestler, did wreite an english account of this research called "The Thirteenth Tribe" (Hutchinson & Co., London, 1976).
by 1250a.d., the Kazars had been pushed out of Russia and into Poland by Gengis Khan and the Mongol invasions. by this time they had lost their cohesion as kazars but retained their judaism, their language and many other steppe traditions. they settled themselves into towns they called "shtetls" and by the time of Casmir III of Poland, had been known as "Ashkenazim". it is here that they encountered incoming jews and rabbis of true Sephardic origin.
the Sephardics were original jews from palestine who migrated to Spain and southern France during Roman occupation of israel and earlier (the hebrew word for spain being 'sepharad') and later gradually dispersed throughout Europe.
It's not hard to imagine that intermingling went on between these two groups, thus passing on genetic markers and slightly amalgamating a part of the euro-jewish population. while this may have created a genetic link, it is hardly justification for a claim to take over palestine and the palestinian people or the jewish culture. The Yiddish language, the wearing of skullcaps called 'yarmolkas,' the fur-trimmed hats and the hairstyle of wearing sidelocks are all Kazar traditions with no original Hebrew origins.

but you also said "The vast majority of those living in Israel" are Eastern European/Russian, which is incorrect. you also said "those who govern Israel have ABSOLUTELY NO ETHNIC OR HISTORICAL CLAIM to that land or people.", which is also incorrect. I guess you didn't check the link I gave to the genetic study proving this (see below)

"Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes"

M. F. Hammer*, A. J. Redd*, E. T. Wood*, M. R. Bonner*, H. Jarjanazi*, T. Karafet*, S. Santachiara-Benerecetti¶, A. Oppenheim||, M. A. Jobling**, T. Jenkinsdagger dagger , H. Ostrer, and B. Bonné-Tamir§

* Laboratory of Molecular Systematics and Evolution, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721; ¶ Department of Genetics, Università degli Studi di Pavia, Pavia 27100, Italy; || Hadassah Medical School, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91120, Israel; ** Department of Genetics, University of Leicester, Leicester LE1 7RH, England; SAMIR, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2000, South Africa; Department of Pediatrics, New York University Medical Center, New York, NY 10016; and § Department of Human Genetics, Sackler School of Medicine, Ramat Aviv 69978, Israel

Abstract

"Haplotypes constructed from Y-chromosome markers were used to trace the paternal origins of the Jewish Diaspora. A set of 18 biallelic polymorphisms was genotyped in 1,371 males from 29 populations, including 7 Jewish (Ashkenazi, Roman, North African, Kurdish, Near Eastern, Yemenite, and Ethiopian) and 16 non-Jewish groups from similar geographic locations. The Jewish populations were characterized by a diverse set of 13 haplotypes that were also present in non-Jewish populations from Africa, Asia, and Europe. A series of analyses was performed to address whether modern Jewish Y-chromosome diversity derives mainly from a common Middle Eastern source population or from admixture with neighboring non-Jewish populations during and after the Diaspora. Despite their long-term residence in different countries and isolation from one another, most Jewish populations were not significantly different from one another at the genetic level. Admixture estimates suggested low levels of European Y-chromosome gene flow into Ashkenazi and Roman Jewish communities. A multidimensional scaling plot placed six of the seven Jewish populations in a relatively tight cluster that was interspersed with Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations, including Palestinians and Syrians. Pairwise differentiation tests further indicated that these Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations were not statistically different. The results support the hypothesis that the paternal gene pools of Jewish communities from Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East descended from a common Middle Eastern ancestral population, and suggest that most Jewish communities have remained relatively isolated from neighboring non-Jewish communities during and after the Diaspora."


- hard science trumps pseudo-history.

uh, Yiddish is a Germanic language, while the Kazars were Turkic peoples surrounded by Slavic-speaking peoples in the Russian Steppes. and the wearing of yarmulkes goes back to the Talmud.

And now you're back, sarcastic as ever, for a ride on the zionist bandwagon. I see you kid. Not really your fault though,you just actin out your nature.

168. "fuck off"
In response to Reply # 166


  

          

i never said i'm quiting the post, I said you and I take a cease-fire. I was done with you, because when you come at me, you come at me at a way (like this post) that is disrespectful, imo, and basically slander. You rotate your posts between showing some interest in dialogue, and then deciding you've got me completely figured out and I'm just a zionist fundamentalist. i'm done with you. not with discussing israel, not with engaging people, but with you and your tactics.

ha ha...is this the same little bitch ass kid that was cryin a few weeks ago talkin bout "im snithcing to the mods, and im man enough to say it!" when I called you a fake ass jew? now you want to be a tough guy and tell me to fuck off? wow, that took a lot of balls man. pretty intimidating.
Anyway, I didn't just call you a zionist fundamentalist(and others who support israel), I gave you reasons(not insults) and you were unable to respond with anything but 'cease fire.' the truth hurts, doesn't it?

In response to Reply # 168


  

          

when I said the Likud and IDF have terrorist roots and that Jewish ethnic/historical links to the land did not justify the creation of Israel. nevermind the fact that I'm not Jewish.

so try not to take it so personal (I know, easy for me to say, but still), he's just on some "if you disagree with me, you're a zionist fundamentalist", so you can't really take it seriously.

retardation is relative, homie - don't fall victim. i don't think it's too far fetched to say that in the 1830's (60 years after the Amer. revolution) most people's support of the US was based on the Manifest Destiny.

If you don't want to answer my question just admit it. Your comment is irrelevant because ANY debate we have here about the conflict is not going to affect it in any way. We're simply exchanging ideas and ideals, so answer the damn question...please.

What, the facts on the ground? whatever you say, homie. i guess US occupation of Iraq is justified too. Typical cracka shit (or niggaz that think like crackaz). this is why yall get labled as devils. it's difficult to build with people whose nature always seems to be destruction. I recognize that i'm generalizing and there are acceptions to the rule, but history bears witness to the truth of this. every race of people whites have come into contact with they've tried to enslave or dominate. it is what it is

I guess that wasn't you who first made the comparison to the Manifest destiny in POST 189. Careful, I think someone's stolen your OKP identity - or you're fulla shit.

Help a dumb nigga out then. What's that you said in post 189 in direct response to the question asking for justification of Israel?
And what post was it that you said the facts on the ground "doesn't justify it?"

1) if you paid any attention to the PNAS link YOU supplied, you'd notice that the author never uses the word 'Arab', but 'Middle Eastern non- Jews (though white Arabs obviously exist).
2) Being a devil is not exclusive to whites or arabs.

I guess that wasn't you in post 194 talking about support for the USA being based on manifest destiny by people IN THE 1830's, when I made the comparison to people's support for America TODAY.

I mean are you seriously that fucking retarded, or are you trying to copy Johnny Knoxville by faking your way into the Special Olymics?

you are getting lost: go back to the original question you asked and I answered in post #77.

I'm not one of the "yall" you are trying to label.

we weren't talking about the PNAS study there dumbass.

HOLD UP! the study said SIX of the seven Jewish populations in a "relatively" tight cluster. they conveniently leave out who that seventh jweish population was that included. I'd be interested to know who it was. For your arguement to hold any weight, we need to know who which group was not included in this genetic cluster. once we get that out of the way, i'll go on to show you why this study still proves nothing other than showing one group of white people(modern europeans) that shares common genetic ancestors with another group of white people(modern middle eastern whites/arabs)

LOL! I guess you consider archeological evidence to be pseudo-history(i even gave you the sources, though you probably can't google it). You've got some work to do before your arguement can be considered hard science.

the terms "most" and "suggested" make it difficult to consider this "hard science." and also i'd love to know how one can distinguish the "european" Y chromosome from a..."middle eastern" chromosome, assuming black and white middle easterners share the exact same Y-chromosome. this ought to be interesting

uh, Yiddish contains words from several different languages, one of them being primitive form of some germanic tongue (but nothing like any sort of german spoken to the west of Poland) as well as some basic Hebrew, Russian and Ukranian. it is also important to remember that Yiddish developed during the period of Kazar migration to eastern europe.
Also waiting for a talmudic reference to the wearing of yarmulkas.

that Einstein guy was a total fraud too.

no you're not, you are arguing against it period. you said:

"..and Israel's right to exist (at the expense of an indigenous people) is based on what? Some Biblical claim? There is certainly no ethnic or historical claim. This is why people like you are just as much fundamentalist as the Muslims you so label. You may not be fanatical but Zionism is definitely a fundamentalist philosophy."

... and where did jersey base his justification for israel's right to exist on a biblical claim? he didn't. you are coming up with your own arguments against it.

LOL - I specifically said in post 77 "although that doesn't justify it", whereas zionist fundamentalism says the exact opposite. and why would my morality be based on Jewish law? I'm an atheist lapsed Catholic.

and "the facts on the ground" are that the nation of Israel has existed for almost 60 years, and it's not going anywhere. if you want to argue about the West Bank and Gaza fine, and I will probably even agree with you. but arguing about Israel proper is a moot point, it's there and it's not just going to disappear because you or I don't like the way it was founded.

there have been numerous genetic tests that show this.

if you had read the paper you'd know:

"First, six of the seven Jewish populations analyzed here formed a relatively tight cluster in the MDS analysis (Fig. 2). The only exception was the Ethiopian Jews, who were affiliated more closely with non-Jewish Ethiopians and other North Africans."

the "archaeological evidence" you cited, yeah.

and I don't quite follow how archaeological evidence proves anything about ethnic origin at the genetic level.

No, the National Academy of Sciences already did that for me.

>the terms "most" and "suggested" make it difficult to consider

1. the term "most" was used because the Ethiopian Jews are the only Jewish population that is outside of the cluster.

2. have you ever read a scientific paper before? do you know what a peer-reviewed publication is? do you know what the National Academy of Sciences is? do you really think the scientific community is going to stop considering it hard science because you don't like the use of the word "suggested"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarmulke#Purpose

"The sources for wearing a kippah are found in the Talmud. In tractate Shabbat 156b it states Cover your head in order that the fear of heaven may be upon you. As well, in tractate Kiddushin 31a it states Rabbi Huna the son of Rabbi Joshua never walked 4 cubits (2 meters) with his head uncovered. He explained: "Because the Divine Presence (Shekhina) is always over my head." While there is a minority opinion that wearing a kippah is a Torah commandment, most halakhic decisors agree that it is merely a custom. The prevailing view among Rabbinical authorities is that this custom has taken on the force of law (Shulkhan Arukh, Orach Chayim 2:6). From a strictly talmudic point of view, however, the only moment when a Jewish man is required to cover his head is during prayer (Mishne Torah, Ahavah, Hilkhot Tefilah 5:5)."

and I said we were in agreement on that. but zionist fundamentalism is based on more than the genetic claim (as there was no genetic testing of that sort in the 1940's), but on a biblical claim.

I'm well aware of the facts on the ground, and I understand there is little I can do to change this. but to say arguing about it is a moot point...this whole discussion is a moot point because we have no control over anything that goes on there. this is simply an exchange of ideas, philosophies and opinions.

Do you even fukcing doubt it for a minute? you can find arabs as white as george bush and as black as wesley snipes. but remember, the study said that jews share a Y chromosome with MIDDLE EASTERN non jews. what people do you put in this category, knowing that the middle east extends from the caucus mountains (where whites allegedley originated) to north africa.

whats wrong with the evidence i sited?

when you say ethnic, are you talking about racial? the archeological evidence proves that the Kazars (russian jews) were not converted until the 8th century and did not migrate from Israel.

Population groups as in racial or regional? do we as americans share genetic markers? I highly doubt it, so how much homogeneity can we really find in a "middle eastern" genetic marker? This whole study seems fundamentally flawed, or maybe I'm just confused. help a brotha out.

relax, it was just part of the "Jewish science" joke.

nope, cuz you followed those question marks with "This is why people like you are just as much fundamentalist as the Muslims you so label." So you were not simply asking him questions, you were making accusations against him.

>and I said we were in agreement on that. but zionist
>fundamentalism is based on more than the genetic claim (as

but you said *my* morality was based on zionist fundamentalism, which is entirely baseless and faulty (and pretty funny to boot)

no, arguing about the status of Gaza & the West Bank is not a moot point (or at least not as much of one), because that can and eventually will change one way or another. Arguing about the statehood of Israel proper, on the other hand, IS a moot point, because that is not going to change.

ok.

>>ok, so you consider both Europeans and Arabs to be white

do I doubt what? that Arabs are "white"? what do you define as "white"?

once again, they listed the population groups they put in that category. so if you are so concerned with it, read the paper thoroughly this time.

>whats wrong with the evidence i sited?

it doesn't prove any of your conclusions.

>when you say ethnic, are you talking about racial?

if that's how you want to phrase it.

>archeological evidence proves that the Kazars (russian jews)

But the problem is that it doesn't prove anything about the Kazars being the ancestors of the Ashkenazi as you claim.

>Population groups as in racial or regional?

it's called population GENETICS - fairly self-explanatory.

>do we as americans

why would you compare the homogeneity to America, which is probably the LEAST genetically homogeneous nation in the history of the world? what does that prove? I mean if you're gonna be so random about it, why not compare it to Iceland, which has an extremely homogeneous population? you are basing your objections on completely arbitrary arguments.

>I don't know if this is the same thing as yarmulkas or not,
>but i'll read the link when I have more time. thanks.

it's a talmudic injunction to wear a ritual head covering, seems like a yarmukle falls under that category. but what does it matter? it doesn't prove anything one way or the other.

Actually it does, by following Kazar migration routes aftter they were dislodged by the mongol invasions in the 11th and 12th centuries. This information is available in both sources i listed as well as Bradley's "chosen people from the caucuses"

so is Osama white too? cuz he ain't "white" like Assad, and he ain't black. so you're the one really not trying to deal with this: what do you define as "white" here?

and the results showed that the middle eastern populations from those countries cluster together, seperate from European and African populations. so there's your answer.

>>it doesn't prove any of your conclusions.

LOL - then how do you explain the genetic research that disproves your conclusions? oh yeah, the National Academy of Sciences isn't "hard science."

no, because even if that information about the Kazar migration routes were true (which I doubt), that wouldn't do anything to prove that the Ashkenazi are descended from them - e.g., the Sephardic Jews were in Europe well before that, but that doesn't mean that the Ashkenazi are directly descended from the Sephardim.

... nevermind, of course, the genetic research that outright disproves your Kazar theory.

>not really, considering the middle east is probably the second

>america.

I don't know about all that, but anyway, what does that have to do with comparing it to America? you seem to be getting off-track with this, let's go back to the question you asked:

"do we as americans share genetic markers? I highly doubt it, so how much homogeneity can we really find in a "middle eastern" genetic marker?"

- high genetic marker frequencies ARE PROOF OF HOMOGENEITY, so what are you even talking about?

inconsistancy seems to be your akyles heel. I just addressed this in post 214, where you seem to be taking the opposite position. If "the facts on the ground" really is your answer, I have already responded in detail (post 210).

I just listed Asad as an example of a White middle easterner and you proceed to tell me that Osama isn't white like Asad. Do you think this hurts or helps my arguement for Asad as a white 'arab'. And stop askin stupid ass questions like 'what is Osama?' That's like me sayin "is Carlos Santana white too? cuz he ain't white like Manu Ginobli and he aint black." This is the type of response I expect to hear from Dogtor, not you.

Yuo speak as if this as a distinct race of people, when these middle eastern populations are an amalgamation of european, african and asian populations.

How do you explain a black man from Saudi Arabia and Pres. Asad forming a genetic cluster, separate from European and African populations? What you do is take a group of Jewish, white and Arab scientists to hand pick a few dozen white arabs who they label as 'middle eastern non-jews' (which in fact they are, though not representative of an entire population) and proceed.
I know it's hard to imagine a group of white scientists and doctors distorting information for their own benefit($, career, political, etc.), but it's been done a FEW times before. How many studies have crackaz passed as "hard science" only to be later exposed as fraudulent or misguided.

No because there's just as much archeological evidence that proves that the Sephardim are direct descendents of Israel. Their trade and migration routes are clearly marked throughout western europe as well as their initial encounters with Ashkenazim in Poland.

Get your head out of your ass. The Kazars originated in the Caucus mountains and the middle east also extends to the caucus mountains. do the math, similar genetic markers are easily explainable.

because yarmulkas were foreign to Judaism before Ashkenazi influence. A "ritual head covering" (mentioned in the Talmud) does not suggest a Yarmulka any more than it does a turban or a fitted Starter cap.

It has nothing to do with your argument for Assad as a "white" arab.

That actually illustrates the stupidity of your argument: Carlos Santana *isn't* white like Manu, OR black - he's mestizo. White and black are not the only two categories here, which is exactly the point.


>Yuo speak as if this as a distinct race of people, when these

and it is the Asian mid-east populaton that is distinct, which you are conveniently ignoring.

Nobody said that.

actually it was over 200. And if these "hand picked white arabs" share the same genetic ancestors as white Europeans as you claim, why do they form their own genetic cluster SEPERATE from Europeans?

you're free to conduct your own genetic research and attempt to falsify their results and prove them wrong. that's the beauty of "hard science" - talk is cheap, you need to prove your conclusions or shut the fuck up.

That's not what I said.

Uh, you said the Kazars were Russian... so Russians are Middle Eastern now? Get your head out of YOUR ass, man.

I suppose you have "archaeological evidence" to prove that to. But whatever, because that was my point about it not proving anything anyway: Africans didn't wear fitted Starter caps, that don't mean Black Americans who wear them aren't descended from Africa.

The posts are there to tell the story. I'm not gonna go back and forth with your stupid ass about this. I already pointed out and explained your devil tendencies you exposed in your justification of Israel.

how can the Asian mid east population be distinct if it is almost exclusively comprised of the aforementioned populations? there are populations of black, white, and everything in between in the Asian mid east.

whoahhh, 200? because they (mid eastern whites) also share genes from other population groups who settled in the region.

don't get mad at me because you put your faith in a study that has some pretty obvious holes in its approach. I just wanna know if Black and White middle easterners share a common and distinct gene pool.

For the millionth time, I specifically said it is NOT "justification". seriously, why are you so fucking obtuse?

but you need to call people you disagree with devils to feel better about yourself, so whatever.


>then why did you bring up the osama example dumbfuck.

Because Osama is not one of your "white arabs" like Assad that your dumb ass keep talking about, and he's not black like them dudes playing for the KSA in the World Cup. So I'm aking you, what do you consider Osama in genetic/racial whatever terms?


>you're dumber than i thought kid. just keep talkin.

tell that to them La Raza cats. but mestizo = amerindian blood, so figure it out for yourself, dummy.

>how can the Asian mid east population be distinct if it is

because the "everything in between" populations are not of european or african descent. They include Turkic peoples, Kurds, and, for lack of a better term, "semitic" peoples (the one you keep conveniently avoiding)

>these are both examples of midle eastern non jewish people
>that make up the population of the group that the PNAS

no they're not. I seriously doubt they used a black man from Saudi Arabia for this study.


>whoahhh, 200?

yes, 200 - can you count?

>because they (mid eastern whites) also share

no, it's because they also share genes from the indigenous population groups of the region.


>don't get mad at me because you put your faith in a study that

don't get mad at me cuz the scientific facts prove you wrong and you don't want to admit it.

>I just wanna

no, but the Asian middle easterners do.


>Actually the former Soviet Union to be exact, which shares

so now you are using a nation-state that only existed in the 20th Century (USSR) to define people from one that disappeared in the 10th Century (Khazars)? you might as well call them Mongols then, since the Mongol Empire ruled that region too, and much closer to the time during which the Kazars were there I might add.

>wonder where the former soviet country Kazakhstan got its

it gets it from the Kazakh peoples, who:

A: aren't white
B: aren't middle-eastern

indeed - couldn't have put it better myself.

how about dreadlocks? your West African ancestors didn't wear them, so why do African-Americans wear dreads as a symbol of their African heritage?

he's obviously mixed with black and white, possibly with some distant oriental mixture as well, not that this has anything to do with why I brought up Asad, who you admitted was white.

This goes great with the "hard Science" you presented. But even a dummy knows that there is also a signifigant mixture of African blood in the mestizo population. I thought I was at least debating with a half-educated devil. Sorry, I have no more time to waste arguing with you on this. I'll respond to the rest of your dumb ass statements and keep it movin.

Blacks and whites have lived in the Asian middle east for thousands of years, what do you think an Asian middle easterner is you dumbfuck? Do you see many oriental or mongoloid looking people there?

if or whenever you decide to learn anything about the Kazars you will learn that it was the Mongol Empire that drove out the Kazars from their homeland, so there's no confusing them (at least not by scholars).

yup it's all there. I don't even know what the fuck you're arguing about.

he is not "obviously mixed with black and white", that's retarded-ass Americanized racialism - the whole world is not a simplistic black/white dichotomy.

and WTF is "distant oriental mixture" supposed mean? he ain't fucking chinese, dude.

>This goes great with the "hard Science" you presented.

yes it does actually.

>even a dummy knows that there is also a signifigant mixture of

In some Latino populations there is, in others there isn't. regardless, the point is that amerindian is a distinct genetic heritage from white and black (just ask them girls with the good hurr, they got indian in they family - LOL)


>I thought I was at

I know I'm debating with a poorly educated idiot, so I have no more time to waste arguing science with your ignorant ass.

>Turkic, Kurds, and Semites are not races either, genius.

I didn't call them "races", dummy - I said they are distinct genetic populations.

>I wonder why not. Wouldn't he be just as much of a middle

same as a black man from Brixton is just as much a Briton as a white man from Oxfordshire.

>Blacks and whites have lived in the Asian middle east for

as I already said, a Turkic, Kurdish or "Semitic" middle easterner", you ignorant fuck.

yeah, Osama and his "possible distant oriental mixture" - LOL.

>if or whenever you decide to learn anything about the Kazars

Uh, the Kazars disappeared in the 10th century and the Mongol Empire didn't come along until the 13th century. if or when you decide to learn anything about real history you won't get things confused like that.

>*shakes head in disbelief*

it's an apt comparison for the purpose of your argument here.

I think it's hilarious for you to talk about jewish fundamentalism (zionism) the way you do while in a previous post you defended another man who in his own right is a fundamentalist. And please, leave your accusatory comments to yourself.

That's funny YOU should bring that up, because you were the one who labled that "other man" a fundamentalist on a previous post. I claimed that the "other man" was not a fundamentalist and challenged you to explain your accusation, to which you replied with...NOTHING!
Furthermore, I see nothing wrong with defending any fundamentalist whether I agree with their point of view or not, so long as that person or group is living by the principles of their proclaimed faith. As I have shown in the above posts, this is clearly not the case with the Zionists.

That's because you don't know shit about the man. All that you're doing here is showing everyone how ignorant you are. Stop exposing yourself with these clown ass responses.

Not necessarily; I mean I think we can all recognize that the creation of the USA was pretty foul, what with stealing the Indians' land and whatnot, but that doesn't mean if you say that you are claiming that the USA today is an "illegitimate country." Same goes for Israel.

>Palestine wasn't there first, Palestinians, fine, but not
>"palestine". But this is a tangent to my point.

well if you mean an independent nation-state called "Palestine", then no, but it was a distinct province going back to Roman times.

In response to Reply # 6


  

          

>control the electricity when they want
>control the roads
>put curfews on the Palestinians

often when discussing Israel/Palestine with people they fail to understand the occupation-tactics and oppression visited on innocent palestinians by the israeli army.

Whether Israel has a legitimate claim to the land becomes secondary when you see how the Israeli Army treats civilians. If Israel wanted to occupy-annex-take over the Palestinian territory, that would be one thing. But to have curfews and check points and walled-off highways and armored settlements that totally destroy any semblance of normality for the Palestinians and expect peace is just ignorant.

Palestinians spend 7 hours at a check point to get to another town IN PALESTINE and people wonder why bitterness towards the Israeli army pushes people to vote for Hamas.

Disclaimer: what is written above is just focusing on one of my many beliefs about this conflict. It is part of the whole. I am by no means placing all blame on Israel.

5. "basically the palestinians get shat on by everyone:"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

-israel
-corrupt palestinian leaders who have stolen most of the money and bankrupted the government
-worthless arab dictators who use palestine as a tool to distract people from their own abuse and at the sime time do very little to help palestine. for example, jordan wasn't exactly jumping at the chance to adopt the palestinian people when they got displaced by the '67 war.

to a certain extent i don't blame israel to resorting to military attacks and building a wall and all that. but i don't have much symapthy for them either. if violence is the path they choose, don't be surprised when it never ends. generally speaking, israel has been trying the same tactics for decades and it's gotten them nowhere.

all in all, i don't really care who's at fault, but it's obvious that the leaders of both sides have failed to find peace for their people. the victims are the palestinian villagers who die in an israeli attack or israeli civilians that die in a suicide bombing.

those responsible are the leaders on all sides.

for a long time i was concerned with who did what and when. which war was started and why. which leaders abandoned which treaties. but eventually i just came to fault all leaders.

no matter what a palestinian or an israeli leader's philosophy is. no matter who he blames or what he's tried: it has failed. it has failed for decades. your people are still dying and you're not trying anything new.

of all the mistakes i think both sides have made, that may be the biggest of all: constantly resorting to the same tactics that have failed for decades.

8. "Palestine got pimped by all"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Seriously, as an African I am pro-Palestinian for many reasons. I remembered when Aparthied terror regime was in power in South Africa, the world slept on Africans as EuROPEans massacred Azanians...

So, as for Palestine the same response is there daily. Palestine interest is not with Jordan, Brutish, Yankees, Arab League, Eygtian... In reality, Palestine has been fucckked by everyone and pimped by the Arabs as well.

People forget that HAMAs as a religious organization was supported by the Zionist when the PLO was classified as a terrorist org...religious folks only thought of god, never Liberation. HAMAs won the heart of its people without western support by meeting their daily needs by providing social services.

HAMAs won because Palestine wanted a government that represents it people and voice their concern. HAMAs victory and rise to power truly shows that democracy is only those that the US, EU and Arab League really want in power. Palestine is a bytch that fat cats fucck when their wives do not wish to please them and HAMAs has changed that in the minds of Palestinians. Palestine reality illustrates that world governments in general do not care about them and with each decision on their part, Palestinians will side more with HAMAs for many reasons.

As for the HAMAs is a terrorist org. mongers, study the history of the Zionist rise to power. HAMAs learned all it is doing to free its people now from the Jewish leaders and organizations that kicked the Brutish out of Palestine to create Is-Real-the bombing and attacks!!!!


We all know that victors write history, in which villians become heroes; natinally and globally. This is the reason there is not a Hitler day, but a Columbus Day!!!

Yo, I love the way I am and can’t nobody out here change me
Rearrange me, tame me, try to game me, you don’t play me
When I grab the mic then shock the party spot
Your rhymes are flip-flop, I’ll rock, hip-hop
Non-stop, me nah stop rock
You can touch

and the fact that before hand arabs had been living there and britain considered it empty

So true, and I agree as a UK poster. For another non-middle eastern example, look at Northern Ireland.

But having recognised the cause, what's the solution?

114. "Not so..."
In response to Reply # 14


          

There has always been and will always be fighting in Yerushalayim( the arabic spelling), until people start listening to the words of orlando bloom's character in kingdom of heaven : " yerushalayim claims all...all lay claim to it.

You have to remember that yerushalayim was founded by jews, and then the babylonians took it over, and then the jews took it back,and then the romans took it, and then the muslims took it, and then the pope sent the crusaders to take it, and then the muslims took it again...Now from there, you can mention the Turks, the mamelukes, ayyubids, etc, but it doesn't matter, those groups all follow islam. So it is safe to say that up until 1917, when the brits took it over, yerushalayim was under muslim rulership.

15. "The rise of Hamas"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

A must read.

http://www.rcgfrfi.easynet.co.uk/marxism/articles/f111-pal.htm

"FUNDAMENTALISM -- REACTIONARY, PRO-CAPITALIST POPULISM

The rise of Hamas -- an acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement -- has paralleled the wave of Islamic fundamentalism sweeping the Arab world. In Algeria, the Islamic Salvation Front commands massive support among the poor and is waging a terror campaign in its drive for power. Egypt's largest opposition group is the Muslim Brotherhood. It has the support and the means to seriously destabilise Mubarak's pro-US government. The Jordanian branch of the Brotherhood extends its influence into every sector of the state, while fundamentalist forces gather influence in Tunisia, in Iraq, in Lebanon and elsewhere. In Palestine they claim to command anything between 25 per cent and 40 percent of popular support, reaching 60-70 per cent in certain areas of the Gaza Strip.

With the collapse of the USSR, the Great Powers are targeting Islamic fundamentalism as the 'evil enemy' undermining world order, the market economy and democracy. Such propaganda combined with fundamentalism's radical, anti-western and anti-Israeli rhetoric can generate illusions that it has progressive, democratic, anti-imperialist features. Hamas's record and role shows this is not the case. Islamic fundamentalism -- like its Christian and Jewish variants -- is an anti-democratic, reactionary and pro-capitalist political trend. It cannot represent the interests of the working class, the poor, the unemployed, the peasantry or the impoverished petit-bourgeoisie.

In the West petit-bourgeois and bourgeois anti-working class, chauvinist, xenophobic and sectarian movements assume the form of populist reactionary nationalism and racism. In Israel they have long assumed the form of Zionism. Islamic fundamentalism is the form they take in the Arab world. Today it represents the most dangerous obstacle to the development of a new movement capable of representing and enforcing the interests of the poor and exploited.

While each fundamentalist movement differs according to the character of the economy and class relations in each particular country, they by and large all share an essentially similar ideological and political standpoint. Committed to the defence of private property and capitalism, Islamic fundamentalism harbours a particular and savage hatred of communism and Marxism. It has acted as the ruling class's terror squad in the struggle against communism in the Middle East. Fundamentalism is characterised by an unremitting hostility to equality, democracy and rationalism. It opposes the right of the working class to organise independently of Islamic institutions. It is also uncompromisingly opposed to the emancipation of women from domestic slavery and is intent on driving them out of all spheres of public life.

Fundamentalism represents a ruling class alliance of less privileged sections of the bourgeoisie and petit-bourgeoisie. It is the political movement of those sections of the ruling and privileged classes who were by-passed and marginalised during the period of post-colonial economic development. This stratum did not share fully in the post-colonial feast that the nationalist ruling class enjoyed as it squandered national wealth and degenerated into corruption and crime. Today, with an international economic crisis devastating the Third world and further discrediting the nationalist bourgeoisie, the fundamentalists see their opportunity to redress past grievances.

Despite fundamentalism's reactionary pro-capitalist character imperialism is determined to control its expansion and if possible defeat it. Today's fundamentalist forces, whilst prepared to co-exist with imperialism, are demanding a better deal for themselves. Imperialism will not readily countenance this. It prefers its traditional allies among the existing dominant sections of the ruling class whose demands are more 'moderate'. Furthermore, fundamentalist forces, resting upon mass support which is fired by hatred for imperialism, are inherently unstable and therefore ill-fitted to act as imperialist servants.

The distinctive and most dangerous feature of fundamentalism is this capacity to command support among the desperately poor and impoverished rural and urban population which sees no future for itself or its children. Experiencing the bitter results of opportunism among Arab communist parties, the poor and sections of the working class abandoned communism for fundamentalism. Most communist parties, essentially Menshevik organisations, were incapable of conducting an uncompromising class struggle against the rich and privileged ruling class. In the name of 'national unity' they all too often abandoned the needs of the poor and moderated the class struggle in favour of an alliance with a corrupt and pro-imperialist national bourgeoisie.

Without manipulating and exploiting popular discontent the fundamentalist leadership would not have the social power to mount a challenge to the long-established ruling class. Thus it promises to make the poor rich without, however, making the rich poor and without abolishing private property. On the basis of Islamic mores it promises to restore the social stability, cohesion and security which has been destroyed by capitalist development. The growth and evolution of Hamas reveals precisely the general conditions which have enabled fundamentalism to so displace communism and socialism as the ideology of the poor and exploited.
HAMAS DIVIDES AND WEAKENS THE INTIFADA
Hamas, the main fundamentalist force in Palestine, was formed in 1987 by the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood initially opposed the Intifada but was rapidly forced to change tack. Refusal to join an uprising of the overwhelming majority of the Palestinian people risked losing the fundamentalists all the popular support they had built through welfare, educational and religious work. But given the popular, revolutionary and anti-imperialist character of the movement, the Brotherhood decided to retain its distance and intervened one step removed by forming Hamas.

Hamas entered the political arena, but only to undermine the democratic and anti-imperialist struggle. The revolutionary wing of the Palestinian movement has always fought to destroy the racist and sectarian Zionist state and replace it with a democratic and secular Palestine. In such a state Arabs and Israelis, Muslims,Jews and Christians would have equal rights irrespective of race or religion. Hamas is opposed to this and aims to establish an Islamic state in which even many Palestinians who are Christians would be second class citizens.

Within the Intifada Hamas divided and weakened the popular movement. It not only opposed the PLO but refused to unite with it or collaborate with UNCU. It refused to participate in the popular committees which in the Intifada's early stages developed into the beginnings of organised popular power. Hostile to the independent organisation of the poor and working class it opposed the left-wing's call for a civil disobedience campaign to incapacitate the Zionist administration on the West Bank. In a direct challenge to the unity of the Palestinian resistance it organised strikes on days and times that the UNCU decreed as no-strike periods. Its anti-Christian sectarianism led to the founding of a Christian Resistance Movement (Hamam) in Ramallah.

Most significantly it violently opposed women's participation in the Intifada. Democratic Palestine comments:

'Hamas supporters launched a large-scale campaign against Palestinian women and their participation in the Intifada...This deprived the Intifada of about 50% of its activists.'

The PFLP's overall assessment of Hamas' role is sobering for those who mistake it for a genuine component of the Palestinian revolution:

'In the final analysis, Hamas has, whether consciously or not, contributed to the Israeli occupation's effort to undermine the Intifada. And here Palestinian leftists and other progressive nationalists are partially to blame, for they somehow closed their eyes to what was happening in the name of national unity, whereas they should have stood up to Hamas.'

HAMAS - AN ANTI-COMMUNIST TERROR SQUAD
The left's and progressive nationalists' toleration of Hamas was a terrible mistake. The Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas reserve their vilest venom for the left. A Hamas slogan makes the organisation's purpose clear: 'Communism is a cancer inside the nation's body and we will cut it out.' For such reasons these movements have for decades been nurtured and financed by the ruling class in its struggle against communism, Marxism and popular democracy in the Middle East. In Egypt and in Syria, the fundamentalists were used to oppose strong working class and communist organisations. In the Palestiman arena both Zionism and Arab reaction, while attacking the Palestinian and Arab left, financed and facilitated the growth of fundamentalism. Ze'ev Schiff and Ehud Ya'ari, in their book 'Intifada -- Israel's Third Front', comment:

...the Civil Administration has contributed considerably to the development of the Muslim groups...Many Israeli staff officers believed that the rise of fundamentalism...could be exploited to weaken the power of the PLO...

'For the better part of a decade, the Israelis had allowed fundamentalist Muslims to move into positions of power in the religious establishment.'

Raim Baram, writing in Middle East International (8 January 1993), notes:

'The Israelis pumped millions of dollars into the Muslim coffers as part of their grand design to circumvent the PLO at any conceivable price.'

But the Muslim Brotherhood's major financier was the pro-US Saudi regime, notorious for its bankrolling of the fascist Mojahedin in Afghanistan, its support for the US war against Iraq and its support for counter-revolutionary forces in the Arab world. While it abstained from participation in the national struggle, with Saudi funding the Muslim Brotherhood built a vast network of support through Islamic endowments, welfare organisations, societies, universities and mosques it controlled.

With Saudi money and Zionist licence the Brotherhood launched a veritable civil war against the democratic and particularly Marxist and left-wing forces in Palestine. A few examples demonstrate this. In January 1980 they attacked and severely damaged the Palestinian Red Crescent offices in Gaza claiming it was dominated by communists. In 1982 they did so again, attacking twice. In 1981 Dr Mohammad Hassan Sawalhah was thrown out of a third floor window of Al Naja University because he was a left-winger. In 1983 fundamentalists launched attacks on leftists and nationalists in the Universities of Bir Zeit and Gaza. In 1984 they dispersed a demonstration in Al Bireh refugee camp claiming it was supported by the 'atheist left'. In the Gaza Strip PFLP and Palestine Communist Party members have been subjected to acid and razor attacks. Violence against PLO supporters continued and in June 1992 fundamentalists tried to drive PLO supporters off the streets in Gaza..."

Let's break down Anti-Semetic, you will find interesting truths in the definition.

Semite
n. A member of a group of Semitic-speaking peoples of the Near East and northern Africa, including the Arabs, Arameans, Babylonians, Carthaginians, Ethiopians, Hebrews, and Phoenicians.
A Jew.
{Bible} A descendant of Shem.
-American Heritage Dictionary

Semitic
adj. Of or relating to the Semites or their languages or cultures.
Of, relating to, or constituting a subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic language group that includes Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, and Aramaic.
n. The Semitic languages.
Any one of the Semitic languages.
-American Heritage Dictionary

Semite ("sEmaIt). Sem, Gr. Sm Shem: see -ite. Cf. the earlier Shemite.]
A person belonging to the race of mankind which includes
most of the peoples mentioned in Gen. x. as descended from Shem

If you go by the last definition (A), Anti-Semetism may have gotten high-jacked and is being used, when it actually cuts both ways..they're both Anti-Semites! Ha!

All this demonstrates is that 'semite' and its associated derivatives are sliding signifiers, which does nothing to address anti-Jewish sentiment.

In response to Reply # 53


          

So you can break things down to the raw? Language is everything. If the term is being used, universally, to label anti-jewish sentiment it addresses exactly that. It also addresses the region in which this problem is occuring. It also addresses the nature of the biblical promised land and what it means to the people today. It proves that those peoples of that region, being made up of different ethinicities and also races all have a claim to it. If you want to stretch it, it says that one people, out of many, is claiming to be the standing Semite, the only one that matters, or the only one, period.

In this discussion we are analyzing the relationship of an opressed, uneducated mass of semetic people with a western groomed semetic people coming back to self-fulfill a biblical promise.

So here they are, again, in an ancient standoff without any real attempt or hope of goodwill.

I just hope when they start to fight they break out the throwbacks, you know: burlap sacks, swords and slingshots.

62. "here's my problem with the linguistics stuff"
In response to Reply # 59


  

          

the term "anti-semite" was created by a german, a non-jewish german to create a more scientific term for jew hatred. (from http://www.yahoodi.com/peace/antisemitism.html#nsomeo: The term "anti Semite" was coined in Germany in 1879 by Wilhelm Marrih to refer to the anti manifestations of the period and to give Jew­hatred a more scientific sounding name.(1) "Anti­Semitism" has been accepted and understood to mean hatred of the Jewish people.)

so, yes, arabs and jews of the area are semitic peoples. but the term anti-semite is a creation of european jew hatred that made no connection to the more expansive (and technically correct) meaning of the word "semite".

If anything, it reminds me of the brou-haha about the washington, dc staffer who used the word "niggardly" and got in shit because it sounds like the n word even though it comes from a radically different linguistic history.

You're right that language is important, but not only are the sounds of a word important to a full understanding of a word's meaning, but also its history. in looking at both it becomes pretty clear that the word "anti-semite" means jew hatred.

55. "A little bit of history"
In response to Reply # 0


          

There have always been Jews in the area, the Romans were never able to kick out all of the Jews from Palestine. There were Jews that fought against the crusaders alongside Muslims. Although they were in few in numbers as long as the Muslims were in control they had their own quarter in the old city of Jerusalem and they were able to worship at the wailing wall and were allowed to have their practices in peace. In the late 1800s a few European Jews who were fed up with anti-semitism in the country they were living in, decided to pack up for then Ottoman controlled Palestine, it was similar to African Americans who decided to go back to Africa. This is where the roots of Zionism began, some of the Jews got the notion in their heads that they should take back their ancient homeland, and while the Ottoman government allowed the Jews to move in, they grew suspicious of them and had several immigrants expelled for zionist activities (including future Israeli president David Ben Gurion). When the Ottoman Empire broke up after it's loss to Britain in World War I Palestine was given to Britain along w/ Iraq and Jordan as a League of Nations mandate, in the Balfour Declaration of 1918 Britain declared it's intentions to foster jewish immigration and creating a palestinian state as a homeland for the jewish people. This made a lot of arabs upset, it also made a lot of jews upset when they found out that Britain was being very deliberate about this process, some took the matter into their own hands and attacked British and Arab people. After World War II and the Holocaust Jewish immigration to Palestine increased enormously. In 1948 the UN divided Palestine giving Israel it's independence and giving Egypt the Gaza Strip and Jordan the West Bank, in 1967 Israel took control of both of these areas and has since made peace w/ both countries, however unrest continues w/ the Palestinians. Most Palestinians do not agree w/ the violent attacks by Hamas and other groups but have grown to hate the Israeli government for bombing their town squares and killing children. On the other hand the Israelis are very desperate for peace themselves but are wary of Hamas current control of the Palestinian authority and understandibly so. Both sides are very weary of war, it's only a select few who want it to continue.

Thanks for the history, that is basically how I know it.

Be careful when you compare the slave passage to Jews leaving Europe. Very different things. If I remember it right, there was racism in Europe, but Jews were not property. Not even close.

Africans were sold into slavery to toil in the Carribbean sun to make Captain Morgan (Please Drink Responsibly).

One thing is clear in your post and relates to my definitions, a Jew cannot call and Arab and anti-semite, but can call a European one.

...a point that cannot be overstated since no one is willing to deal with this, and now people want to compare Zionism to a 'back to Africa' movement.

Judaism is a religion... why is that so hard to agree to?
That's not an insult at all, it's a beautiful, wonderful religion... however it did NOT give anyone a right to claim land. The people who claimed that land had NO heritage there. This isn't a personal attack... and I didn't put Jew in quotes... so try again.
Thanks.

93. "sorry..."
In response to Reply # 91


  

          

you were responding to the post that put the term in quotes and didn't change the title. my mistake.

I agree judaism is a religion, but I wonder why you don't agree that there is a white jewish ethnic identity as well, considering ethnicity is wholly a social construct of nationality and/or cultural background, it seems like the jewish ethnicity is one of the strongest within the white world (and, indeed, because that ethnicity shares so many cultural actions and moral beliefs with the religion, that it is one of the ethnicities which makes the concept of ethnicity problematic, as it is hard to point to a real difference in the religion/ethnicity of a black african jew, a white european jew, and a indian jew (for example), thus making it potentially a multiracial ethnicity. which is kinda a cool concept, i think)

I'm not even trying to claim land, I'm just wondering why, considering how specific jewish history is and how different it is from the history of other ethnicities throughout the world, why you won't grant it that term as well (this is, of course, a tangent, but one I've wondered for a while).

Not to mention, to even make that statement somewhat supports the argument that white people don't have heritage... they have history... but no culture... That's not MY belief per se... but I hear that all the time... Acknowledging it as some white ethnicity, immediately says you have whiped clean it's TRUE history as started by Black Folks. It's PURE white washing plain and simple. That's what kills me... there is nothing wrong with you saying "hey, it was started by Black Africans... they were the first Jews yet our people have kept the tradition going and it's now our history as well". that's being real... that's being fair... and that's being human.
To all but whipe it's original origins under a rug is... well... being a culture vulture. Something white folks do DAILY. You don't want to add to that. My boy said last night, "Give it 30 years... white folks will be claiming they started hiphop... they'll even edit all the niggaz out of Beat Street and just keep the scenes with Ramo"
to which I explained to him Ramo was Puerto Rican. haha...
but I'm just saying... when you do shit like that, you give a dumb ass comment like his validity.


"I'm not even trying to claim land,"

I hear you... but you couldn't...

" I'm just wondering why, considering how specific jewish history is and how different it is from the history of other ethnicities throughout the world, why you won't grant it that term as well (this is, of course, a tangent, but one I've wondered for a while)."

Because it's a religion. When people try to act like it's anything other than a religion... when people start acting like there is a
blood line...
mystical historical components
it just gets Scooby Doo man. It's not reality.

First, let's just be real and talk open... Judaism is a very spiritual religion. It really is. I, like most people of color... do not equate white folks historically with spirituality. So right off the bat... there is a mismatch. It is not a historical trait with white folks, if anything it has historically been quite the opposite. However, that comment isn't fair... cause it does generalize.

Race doesn't come with a church/synagogue, a book, and a rabbi. I'm sorry only religions do... ironically while we never talked about religion last night... he said something i thought was fairly profound.. he said in a drunken stupod might I add, that white people fear reality and love the dream state. Now while this is true for thier holidays (all fake), history (most of it's fake), hero's (all fake)... I would never apply this to common folks. Again, when you try to become unclear about the part your religion has played in your history... you start playing into these types of comments. There is nothing mystical about Judaism... I recognize the beauty in the religion... I recognize the beauty in the people, my problem is that they will not do the same for anyone other than themselves. They will not be real aobut how it started, how it got to this point... yet history will. I know these white converts are not from Africa... and I know Judaism didn't start in Turkey or Russia or anywhere in Europe. That's why.
Be straightforward... and so will I. I know it's a beautiful religion... but it has REAL history.

Another example...
last night I was watching TV for the first time in a minute... (was burning something on DVD and didn't feel like watching it for the umpteenth time)... okay so cool. ON the show they were celebrating Thanksgiving... someone said "I'll bring a six pack and some chicks, just like the Pilgrims"... okay cool. There were other comments as well... like "we are peaceful, like the Pilgrims". Ya know if you say those things enough to yourself then you'll believe it... but that is simply not true and not historically accurate. This is what prompted my boy to make his comments. When this continues, this is what gives those comments validity. That's all I'm saying.

In response to Reply # 95


  

          

race and ethnicity are two radically different things. I'm not trying to call Judaism a "race", in fact, i find the idea that is is a race really irritating. Let me try to dissect my point further, as I don't think it has to fit the criticisms you make of it.

>Not to mention, to even make that statement somewhat supports

>have history... but no culture... That's not MY belief per
>se... but I hear that all the time...

no, there's culture. history and culture go together. i'm sure you know about tons of traditional jewish festivities, but as a religion and ethnicity, the festivities that are cultural are also religious in general, so one is hard to have without the other. which is why the jewish religious ceremonies that are based in the home are much more popular (at least in the US) than those that involve going to church.

Acknowledging it as some

ok, you're right to an extent. I did not speak to the religion's middle eastern origins clearly enough. But much of the experience that I've had as a Jew is distinctly connected to the European Jewish history and culture, that of shtetls and pogroms in Russia, being kicked out of England, the Holocaust, the Yiddish language and culture, and a touch of the Spanish Golden Age under the Moors. It's not just who started it, but the thousands of years in which the specific branch of the culture that my family is from has evolved in its own way. That way, because of numbers of followers and contributions to western society and accumulation of some modicum of power and wealth, is the most popular and visible jewish cultural and ethnic identity. but, for example, in Israel, there are many different Jewish cultures in one place. What is interesting is how similar they are in some ways, how different in others. hence my argument that it might be a cross-racial ethnicity. which is still think is a cool idea to just ponder.

i hope i've shown that i've not been doing the whitewashing you note. I'm trying to say that in its history, a specific european/white cultural and ethnic identity has formed for many jews who connect to their judaism not only (and often, not even) religiously, but rather, through what is more commonly described as an "ethnicity", albeit, one of the more difficult to fit into the traditional concept of ethnicity because it lacks a single national or geographic origin.

>Because it's a religion. When people try to act like it's
>anything other than a religion... when people start acting
>like there is a
>blood line...

that's the beauty of "ethnicity", it does not need a bloodline like "race" does.

>mystical historical components

are you saying that the things i listed above are "mystical"? the history of the jewish people in europe being isolated and creating their own cultural understanding of europe is very real and very clear.

>First, let's just be real and talk open... Judaism is a very

some judaism is very spiritual. some christianity is very spiritual. i'm not trying to essentialize spirituality into one race alone or the other, either, so i'm just going to say that this is a tangent.

>
>Race doesn't come with a church/synagogue, a book, and a

which is why i say ethnicity, a very different concept. perhaps it would be better if i said that i'm speaking of an "ashkenazi" ethnicity, instead of a jewish ethnicity. then, its geography would be clearer and it wouldn't try to claim the religion as sole basis of what i'm speaking about.

I'm sorry only religions do... ironically while we

even if i grant you the story of conversions that you claim is the real european jewish history, how does that invalidate the ethnicity argument?

because in order to argue ethnicity you have to seperate it from religion... sure religion may have influenced it... but ethnicity implies race...

ethnicity

n : an ethnic quality or affiliation resulting from racial or cultural ties; "ethnicity has a strong influence on community status relations


it's too close and not clear. For one... since Judaism started in Africa (sidenote: white people say the middle east, people of color say Africa)


Also... do me a favor, so this way you'll understand what I'm saying...
give me a clear and precise example of your Jewish Lineage.
From start to now... I know that's asking alot... but I'm interested and I'll show you how it plays into what we are saying.

no you don't. i don't see why you have to make such separations. it might be muddier, but there's no reason to make such separations.

>
>n : an ethnic quality or affiliation resulting from racial or
>cultural ties; "ethnicity has a strong influence on community
>status relations

"or cultural ties". That's exactly what I'm saying. Ethnicity is tied up in race, certainly (especially because in generations past, ethnicities such as Jews and Italians were being called separate "races"), but it does not HAVE to be. You're the one forcing race onto it where a Jewish ethnicity would complicate the sense of essentialized identity that I think both of us oppose.

>people of color say Africa)

tomato, toMAto...as long as we agree it started in the middle east, that's fine (though, technically, the middle east is mostly in asia. but, whatever)

I know where this is going, and I refuse to play this game. as you like to say, this isn't about me. make your point without bringing my family into it.

Without bringing your family into it? Nah... what I'm saying is simple... if you can provide a lineage linking you in... then ok cool... I have yet to meet ANYONE who can do that... therefore...
RELIGION.
I'm not going to play the my religion has afforded me a certain racial aspect never seen before game either... I said specifically I didn't want to bring in Ethnicity cause it had too many implications of race... you said no it did not... does 'OR' mean anything... then you turn right around and say this.

"That's exactly what I'm saying.

Okay cool... but I ask for lineage to PROVE that you cannot bring race into this... most Jews are just White people man... European white folks... it's that simple. That is not to insult... I think Europeans are beautiful people... I'm not on that bandwagon of denouncing all things white and using their history against them, we all have foul history... however, you don't want to play one game... but you are clearly playing another. Clearly. I hear Russians... who were Russians well before anything... now refer to their race as Jews... that's not fair, accurate, or fact. Why? I personally think Judaism is a beautiful religion, I have said this before cause it's true... but anyone who tries to fuse religion with their race is fucking crazy. Straight up.

he didn't compare it to the slave passage, he compared the desire of Jews seeking to return to their ancestral home to African-Americans seeking to return to theirs.

yup, which is why the term is largely outdated in the modern context.
