Israel 'profiting' from Palestinian child labour
marcus replied to Hudson Jones's topic in The Rest of the World
Pathetic. You lack integrity. HJ has already posted more than enough links showing the same information that we saw from the "extremist" site. From your original response, it was obvious that you didn't even read the article. And now that every part of your stance and comments have been ripped apart, you still fail to accept and admit the truth. People like you do not contribute to making the world better. You are merely a bump on the road. -
Historic deal between Iran and the world could happen

Don't worry about us Canadians. Worry about your congress and senate choosing to work for a foreign country over their own people. -

You mean that's something for Israel to decide. Which you're okay with. Majority of Americans, however, prefer Obama's approach of negotiations instead of what the prostitutes in Congress and Senate have been told to do by their Israeli sponsors; Which is to derail a possible deal and to push the U.S. into another war. -

How many Muslim nations do you know? How many Muslims do you know personally? In your head, do all Muslims wear turbans, have beards and yell really loud? Can you, for once, surprise the forum and not share one of your ignorant, bigoted and racist comments about Muslims? -
Israel 'profiting' from Palestinian child labour
marcus replied to Hudson Jones's topic in The Rest of the World
Except that they did. Not only was this article written by a reporter from Inter Press Services who conducted the research and interviews on location, but they also used sources to show statistics in regards to settler violence against Palestinian property. It looks like you need to grow up with your debating and forum skills and start reading what you're replying to, instead of jumping on the denial gravy train. From the article: According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 324 incidents of settler violence against Palestinians and their property were reported during 2014 alone. and According to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Applied Research Institute Jerusalem (ARIJ), approximately 800,000 olive trees have been uprooted since Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. It's a good time to answer HJ: -

And there continue the Israeli Apologists... Yes. The BDS movement is the only response to the out of control "barbaric Zionist project". -
I would agree to some extent, however, in others, no. I would fault the German people who supported the Nazi regime. I would fault some of the white South Africans and the Western governments around the world who supported the Apartheid government. I would fault anyone who supports ISIS. Furthermore, the illegality of some of the actions by Israel has already been confirmed in several levels. So if someone is going to argue against what the ICJ has said, what the red cross has said, what Amnesty International has said, what B'Tselem has said and what several other expert human rights organizations have said. then, I have a problem with that.

Historic deal between Iran and the world could happen

Some Sunni countries, like Saudi are also not OK with the deal. Because they see Iran as an enemy and a competitor. If for some reason Congress and Senate are able to push to derail the deal involving U.S. sanctions, I have a feeling that other countries will go ahead with lifting their sanctions and in that case, Iran will be in a better position than they are now. I am curious to see if the situation in Yemen will have a negative impact on the deal. I wonder how active Iran is in Yemen and how true the allegations are. -
I have a problem with anyone who supports actions that are illegal and unjust. It's not like we're cheering for sports teams. I don't think nationalism is an excuse or justification for accepting policies that negatively effect people.

I don't understand why there is a denial of this. Instead of looking at the well-documented information, any criticism of Israel receives an automatic denial. -

The race already started. Israel already has nukes and Pakistan is heavily influenced by Saudi Arabia. It's just that those in the race want to prevent others from entering it. -
The punishment can be arrests of Israeli war criminals once they enter a foreign country. The punishment can also be economic pressure from other countries who respect international law and who refuse to do business with Israel, which is already happening. Only to those with a terrible sense of humour.

The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel's wall is illegal in many locations, where it has cut deep into Palestinian territory. The ICJ has also ruled that the Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are illegal and contrary to international law. The punishment can come once there is a resolution in the UN or if countries take the opinion of the courts and apply their own actions towards Israel. The ladder is already happening as many European countries are either refusing to work with Israeli firms who do business in the occupied territories or canceling contracts. Israel may refuse to follow international law in order to continue the status quo, but other countries have the option of following them. If the Palestinians are able to get themselves heard at the ICC and there is a ruling, Israel will feel the economic pressure even more than they are right now. So this is a good thing for the Palestinians and those who champion justice.

Historic deal between Iran and the world could happen
marcus replied to Hudson Jones's topic in The Rest of the World
You have to understand that there is a difference between countries. Iraq and Syria are different than Iran. They were calculated moves where they knew there was a small risk of a retaliation. Iran has one of the largest armies in the world and the risk of a retaliation would prevent Israel from attacking it alone. I will post the link once I have more time to find it, but the estimation was that Israel was not capable of taking out all of the nuclear facilities, especially the one that's located deep in the mountain. -

That's correct. They have engaged in assassinations and cyber warfare. But that's not an all out war, where we would see bombings and use of military weapons. That would not happen against a country like Iran without the blessing of the U.S. -

Something you never hear. You'll need to put away the lube because your thirst for aggression and war will have to take a back seat to communication and diplomacy. Another good news about one of the Zionists' biggest prostitutes (and donations recipients!), Bobby Menendez: New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez indicted on corruption charges -

Obama just gave a speech to confirm that an agreement for the framework has been reached. Now Bibi and the dirty politicians in congress and senate are planning their moves to derail this historic step from becoming a historic deal. -

Not without U.S. permission, they would not bomb Iran. This is why Bibi has been throwing a fit. Obama has said that they would not support an attack on Iran. Israel can only bomb Gaza because that's what cowards do. They attack the defenseless. -

Israel will never bomb Iran without U.S.' permission. Israel is only into bombing defenseless people such as in Gaza. From U.S. senior government official: “The good thing about Netanyahu is that he’s scared to launch wars,” the official said, expanding the definition of what a chickenshit Israeli prime minister looks like. “The bad thing about him is that he won’t do anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians or with the Sunni Arab states. The only thing he’s interested in is protecting himself from political defeat. He’s not Rabin, he’s not Sharon, he’s certainly no (Menachem) Begin. He’s got no guts.” I ran this notion by another senior official who deals with the Israel file regularly. This official agreed that Netanyahu is a “chickenshit” on matters related to the comatose peace process, but added that he’s also a “coward” on the issue of Iran’s nuclear threat. The official said that Obama administration no longer believes that Netanyahu would launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to keep the regime in Tehran from building an atomic arsenal. “It’s too late for him to do anything. Two, three years ago, this was a possibility. But ultimately he couldn’t bring himself to pull the trigger. It was a combination of our pressure and his own unwillingness to do anything dramatic. Now it’s too late.” -

Sorry Shady. You need to look up the sanctions imposed to get a better understanding. The major UN sanctions were started by and passed under Bush who did not want to negotiate any deals with Iran, even though Iran reached out. The approach that you keep screaming for. Obama did accept sanctions BUT the big difference here is that Obama reached out to Iran and said that he is open to making a deal. That's the big difference. -

Here is a recent history lesson that will most likely bounce off your forehead and not be included in your future random thoughts - Because that's who you are: When Bush decided to ratchet up the sanctions against Iran, Iran ended up increasing the nuclear activity and the number of centrifuges. -
