How about the hundreds of cases of rabbis and the sexual abuse of children? Why are we not seeing this in the media? Why are they getting away with it? Should we be questioning Jews for the act of these people? Why are we not seeing threads called: "Fear of being labeled anti-semites stops the media and the law from going after pedophile JEWISH rabbis!!!!!!!!!!!1111 OMG OMG!!! JOOOS!!!" Oh look. There is actually a web page dedicated to exposing child molesting Jews who don't receive the attention they should be receiving: http://iamthewitness.com/listeners/Jewish.child.molesters.that.are.never.on.the.NEWS-WHY.htm

Maybe Argus and Scribblet should consider applying for jobs at Foxnews or The Daily Mirror to write their headlines. This man is ready for you:

Because the law is controlled by Muslims and this is another case of a Muslim takeover of the West.

MLK never said that. MLK would never support Zionism, because it would go against what he fought against, which are inequality and racism. The so-called quote has already been debunked. The Zionist PR machine will stoop to any level, including making up quotes by those with moral credibility in order to win points. Even in the situation where something has been debunked, they continue to repeat. "Letter to an Anti-Zionist Friend" is an open letter attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. that expressed support for Zionism and declared that "anti-Zionist is inherently anti-Semitic, and ever will be so."[1] The letter has been widely quoted on the internet and in a speech of the politician Ariel Sharon. The proclaimed sources of the letter, like an appearance in the Saturday Review from August 1967, do not exist. The first known reference to the text appeared 1999 (many years after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.). It's important to note what some of the most important moral figures have to say about Jewish nationalism, Zionism and the treatment of Palestinians: Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home” ― Mahatma Gandhi Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties.” ― Albert Einstein ""If Zionism means the right of the Jewish people to seize territory and deny the Palestinian people the right to self-determination, we condemn it." ― Nelson Mandela In short the zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history. ― Malcolm X

Hamas, as the elected body has every right to defend the Palestinians against the occupying force. This is according to international law. However, when they shoot rockets indiscriminatory, even if over 90% of them don't even reach the borders of cities and even though they're not killing civilians, BUT because they "could" harm civilians, then it is against international law. This is why Hamas should be prosecuted for violating international law. That said, Hamas' illegal actions are just a drop in the bucket as compared to Israel's decades long violations of international law. Violations that have gone on since Israel's inception. Violations like: Ethnic cleansing, where they drove out hundreds of thousands of civilians from their homes and have not allowed them back to their lands Killing thousands of them Demolishing homes and destroying over 500 villages and towns in what is now Israel Numerous massacres that were done by the IDF and the militia (terrorist) groups Stealing Palestinian land Creating illegal settlements on Palestinian land Demolishing more Palestinian homes to make way for Jewish only homes Stealing natural resources Assassinations Kidnapping thousands without due process Torturing men and children Using illegal weapons Targeting civilians in numerous offensive Creating a blockade and collectively punishing Palestinians and the list goes on... Israel is a criminal state and anyone who tries to apologize for them is apologizing for criminals. Here is a list of violations of international law by Israel.

Let me fix some of that information before I continue. The West Bank, Golan Heights and East Jerusalem have 500,000+ Jewish settlers which are deemed to be illegal under international law which is supported by the international community including the U.S. and Canada. The International Court of Justice also says that these settlements are illegal under international law. I did not forget that. Neither did I forget all the other killings and massacres done by Israel and Jewish terrorist groups which were led by future Israeli prime ministers (Begin and Shamir) No intelligent person will believe that the occupation, land annexation, the stealing of resources and expansionism is for self-defense. Anyone who follows what has occurred in the region knows who is on the offensive and who is on the defensive. Under international law, which Israel is signatory to, they cannot use the charter of some group as an excuse to steal land, resources and violate human rights.

They removed the Gaza settlers only to re-plant them in the West Bank. They also continued to occupy Gaza by controlling their borders, air and sea and creating buffer zones. This is not "good faith". This is the continuation of a brutal occupation that has been going on for decades. Well before Hamas was created. While Israel removed some illegal outposts in the West Bank, they expanded the other illegal Jewish settlements at a much higher rate. All you need to do is look at the ferocious pace that the illegal Jewish settlers are increasing in the West Bank. Especially under the latest and most right wing/nationalist government. You should also look into the number of Palestinian homes that have been demolished in the occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The facts are there. You can try to sugarcoat it all you want, but it's obvious that you're just another Israeli apologist who will go to any length, including not being dishonest about the situation in order to push the Zionist agenda.

If you had any doubt about Netanyahu's intentions and by extension the intentions of hardcore Zionism to conquer and annex and swallow the entirety of Palestine, or if you had any doubt with what utter contempt and condescending hubris he looks at Obama's entire administration, or if you had any doubt who is the singular beneficiary of the murderous activities of the mercenary army of ISIS, read this article. Netanyahu finally speaks his mind At his Friday press conference, the prime minister ruled out full Palestinian sovereignty, derided the US approach to Israeli security, and set out his Middle East overview with unprecedented candor. His remarks were not widely reported; they should be

Good point. How will the military industrial complex make money if there are no wars?

He can correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Marcus is pointing to the fascist, immoral and ridiculous direction that the Israeli government and many of its supporters have gone towards. I find it quite interesting that there is no uproar from the mainstream media in regards to what these Jews are advocating. Jews who probably have someone they know who went through concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. The very things they are advocating.

Why did Israel refuse Kerry's ceasefire? Where are the supporters of ceasefires? The ones that were crying about the ceasefire that Hamas didn't accept (mainly because they weren't even consulted about it). There is hardly any difference between the draft agreement presented by Kerry and the Egyptian proposal. So why did Israel refuse it?

You mean the 1000+ people killed (with over 85% civilians) were warned by Israel that they were going to be bombed, but they purposely stayed in their homes? "Precision bombing" "Warnings" "Hamas use of human shield" This is all propaganda used by the well-oiled PR machine and repeated by you in order to legitimize the slaughter of innocent people. It's not working as well as it used to. The facts, including the videos of the one-sided carnage is too much to stomach for those who feel empathy and are not prone to psychopathic tendencies.

There is very little proof and evidence that Israel is targeting rocket launchers. There is ample proof and evidence that Israel is engaging in collective punishment. This is why we're seeing carpet bombings and flattening of neighbourhoods. You cannot burn a whole hay stack in order to get to the needle. It's not only explicitly illegal but it's immoral and sick. Stop trying to justify massacre of innocent civilians.

Really? They don't have the capability to carpet bomb? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QpGjNWimYI

Is this according to actual factual information or Bonam Intelligence Service?

Cartoons are great!

Yes. They might have bombs strapped to them while trying to flee the carpet bombing. Therefore, smallc disagrees with allowing the women and children to escape the bombings, because he thinks they might have bombs strapped to them and so they should die. I hope nobody forgets that.

You are wrong because you do not know the meaning of occupation. When Israel has control over the borders, the air, the sea and what goes in and out, they are considered an occupier.

There is the Israeli spin and there are Israeli actions. “Israel does not want peace,” writes Gideon Levy, the respected Israeli columnist in Haaretz newspaper. “In recent years, Israel has moved away from even the aspiration to make peace . . . The preservation of the status quo has become the true Israeli aim, the primary goal of Israeli policy, almost its be-all and end-all. The problem is that the existing situation cannot last forever. Historically, few nations have ever agreed to live under occupation without resistance . . . The Palestinians have made more than one mistake but their mistakes are marginal. Basic justice is on their side and basic rejectionism is the Israelis’ purview. The Israelis want occupation, not peace. I only hope I am wrong.” But, as Kerry has said, the status quo “cannot be maintained.” Netanyahu thinks it can be. The rest is spin. As Vancouver author Gabor Maté wrote: “The powerful party has succeeded in painting itself as the victim, while the ones being killed and maimed become the perpetrators . . . Israel’s ‘right to defend itself,’ unarguable in principle, does not validate mass killing.”

I posted a link to the Israeli government web site. Go have a go at the Israeli government with your blog link and tell them they're wrong.

Here is the most significant lesson of this particular Israeli war on Palestinians--for generations Israel has gotten away with murder--literally--but this time around (as you see from the article I post bellow) its massive propaganda machinery, which includes the dominant narratives of the corrupt corporate (CNN) and state (BBC) media--has miserably failed to camouflage the lie they habitually tell and sell it as the truth--this in my opinion is the result of multiple factors: (1) the naked cruelty of the Israeli army, (2) the fundamental truth of the Palestinian cause shining through their heroic resistances, and (3) the chaotic condition of the social media over which neither the state nor the corporate media has any control--from BBC to CNN to New York Times: they would have covered up and buried the naked truth of the slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza were it not for the social media--they have done their damnedest to repeat ad nauseam the worn out IDF sound bites ("Hamas," "Human Shield," "the most moral army in the world," etc)--but fact after fact of the visual and narrative accounts coming out of Gaza have consistently exposed these lies--this in my judgement is an immensely empowering recognition--that we ordinary people have achieved it at the cost of momentarily disregarding other atrocities in the world and laser-beaming on Gaza, again in my humble opinion, is a testimony to the power of concentration and not allowing the usual distractions of too many horrors happening simultaneously in the world (in Syria, in Iraq, in Kurdistan, in Ukraine, in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, etc) http://mashable.com/2014/07/22/israel-losing-media-war-gaza/ Reports of Palestinian civilian deaths and the destruction of homes and hospitals have spread rapidly on Twitter and Facebook. As of this writing, Twitter users have tweeted the hashtag #GazaUnderAttack more than 4 million times over the past month. By comparison, the hashtag #IsraelUnderFire has been used less than 200,000 times.

From my experience, and I'm not saying it to try to insult him, but Rue does not have the focus and attention span to do that. Once he starts typing, he doesn't have the ability to not go off on a tangent and not misrepresent people with what he thinks the people have said.

Israel, of course, has no responsibility for driving out over 700,000 Palestinians and destroying over 500 villages in the 1940's, when they were cleansing the State of Israel of as many non-Jews as possible.

Israeli crowd cheering as bombs and missiles hit the Palestinians. These people are scum from the bottom of the barrel. Link

Israel is always re-drawing the line in the sand. There is always a reason for Israel not to end the status quo and to recognize a Palestinian State. Palestinian officials say that the demand for recognition has increasingly been made in recent years and months as an Israeli ploy to make a peace deal harder to reach. Speaking to foreign journalists in Ramallah recently, former negotiator Nabil Shaath complained that the issue was preoccupying Mr Kerry even though it was not included in past talks or any signed documents or agreements between Israel and the Palestinians. "The only solid statement about the agenda of the permanent-status negotiations is in the Oslo Declaration of Principles, which spells out exactly the agenda to be discussed and that includes Jerusalem, borders, settlements, water, security and refugees," he said. Mr Shaath stressed that the Egyptians and Jordanians did not have to recognise Israel as a Jewish state when they signed peace treaties. "Do you think that any Palestinian leader in his right mind can ever accept this or is this simply an attempt to make it impossible for any Palestinian leader to sign a peace agreement with Israel?" he asked rhetorically. "This is a new torpedo for the blame game." Link
