well there you go. all amrican woman needs as 'proof' is a statement from the prime minister's office denying they had any part of it. case closed people. we have a statement from the prime minister's office.

a good attempt and i think you'd have a decent future in putting up youtube video raps. you'll get at least an average of 5000 views per video. however, i hope you avoid spewing misinformation like you have in this. most noteworthy is that i don't hate jews. you repeated that a lot, but by repeating it, it doesn't make it true. oh and you misspelled masturbation. i liked the ending though, 'toodle loo'.

it's easy to confuse current weather events with long-term climate trends, and hard to understand the difference between weather and climate. it's a bit like being at the beach, trying to figure out if the tide is rising or falling just by watching individual waves roll in and out. the slow change of the tide is masked by the constant churning of the waves. in a similar way, the normal ups and downs of weather make it hard to see slow changes in climate. to find climate trends you need to look at how weather is changing over a longer time span. looking at high and low temperature data from recent decades shows that new record highs occur nearly twice as often as new record lows.

the information is out there. if you really need proof and links between the israeli government and the hoax video, here, have a taste of this: Earlier today, the Israeli Government Press Office promoted the apparent hoax video on Twitter. In the tweet, @GPOIsrael cited @guyseemann. I headed over to Guy Seemann’s twitter feed and found that he had only tweeted one item in his entire history: the pinkwashing anti-flotilla hoax. In fact, Seemann only joined Twitter on June 15, 2011. Then I took a look at Guy Seemann’s bio: Guy Seemann studied government, international policy, philosophy and physics at American University in Washington, DC. Before moving to Israel, Guy worked for United States Senator Robert Menendez, and then as a special projects coordinator in the North Eastern campaign for then-presidential candidate Barack Obama. Since the campaign and moving to Israel, Guy was awarded a fellowship to work with international journalists and diplomats at the Prime Minister’s Office, served as the international director for Lev Echad, and volunteered for the IDF. Guy will soon begin a new job at the Prime Minister’s National Security Council working on Iranian, US and UN policy. Why would the Israeli GPO have tweeted at Guy Seemann, a Netanyahu aide who seems to have created a Twitter account for the sole purpose of promoting the pinkwashing hoax? And what was Seemann’s role in the video’s creation? How did Lazarus know about the video before it had garnered any media interest — and only a small handful of hits? These questions remain unanswered. However, the video’s promotion by an exclusive cadre of official Israeli hasbara entities and figures suggest the hoax was part of a desperate government operation designed to discredit the Free Gaza flotilla. I will be updating here as I learn more. Update: Guy Seemann’s twitter page has disappeared and his bio has changed. Seemann told Ali Abunimah that he promoted the hoax video but had no role in its production. Meanwhile, the character in the video has been identified by EI as Omer Gershon, an Israeli actor.

israeli government's past tactics aside, here is more proof that points to the israeli government being behind it: here is an update on the origins of the video and the israeli government's connection to it: Update 3: A further clue as the hoax video’s origins appeared on Wednesday. As Max Blumenthal reported on Friday, one of the first people to promote the hoax video online seems to have been Neil Lazarus, a communications expert who claims on his professional Web site to have advised both the Israeli prime minister’s office and the Israeli ministry of foreign affairs. That Mr. Lazarus posted the video on his Facebook wall is known because one of his Facebook friends, Elan Miller, found it there and shared it with his friends on the social network about 6 hours after it was first posted on YouTube. On Wednesday, a blogger at the Electronic Intifada told The Lede that someone in Mr. Miller’s Facebook network said that the video had just 35 views on YouTube shortly after it was shared by Mr. Miller late Thursday night. That means that Mr. Lazarus was one of the first people to watch the video and then advise others to do so. He has not yet responded to a request to explain how it was that he found out about the clip so soon after it was posted and before it attained any popularity.

it's highly likely that the israeli government gave their blessing for this to happen, due to their use of the gay card in the past for their PR campaigns against groups they see as their enemy. take this for example: Israel recruits gay community in PR campaign against Iran The new campaign, to be overseen by the Foreign Ministry, aims to appeal to people who are less concerned with Iran's nuclear aspirations and more fearful of its human rights abuses and mistreatment of minorities, including the gay and lesbian community. About NIS 8 million have already been budgeted for the new campaign, which also includes increased briefings for foreign journalists on the Iranian nuclear program and greater use of the Internet and sites such as YouTube. i don't think there is anything wrong with pointing to human rights abuses. i actually think it's a good move both ethically and politically. unfortunately, the campaign being used against the flotilla in trying to discredit them as terrorist supporters has already shown that the israeli government is willing to use misinformation to win the support of the international community.

if they were behind it, which it looks like they were, you're right, they showed major stupidity. however, for you to try to somehow link the people on the flotillas, who are from all over the world and even have members of LGBT participating in the campaign, to arabs and muslims who discriminate against LGBT is just as disingenuous as the hoax video.

the israeli government has distributed and endorsed a video right until it was revealed that it was a hoax. the video is of a man who claims to be homosexual and who was refused to be part of the flotilla bound for gaza: A YouTube video featuring a man who presented himself as an American gay rights activist disillusioned with the latest Gaza flotilla campaign has been exposed as a hoax. The man in the video, who introduced himself to viewers as Marc and claimed that the organizers of the latest flotilla of ships bound for Gaza had rejected his offer to mobilize a network of gay activists in support of their cause, was identified as Omer Gershon, a Tel Aviv actor involved in marketing, by the Electronic Intifada, a pro-Palestinian Web site. link

totally dog. i guess you drew the grand mufti card again. i'm sure my favourite, the you support hamas card will make an appearance soon. but yeah! totally! guess what else! the grand mufti who represents all of the present and past palestinians, who only pretended to support and fight along with the british, were actually the architects of the holocaust!
-
what else would you expect? they're muslims. they also practically invented cancer and more recently aids.
-
you have me scratching my head as to why a jew would show this huge disrespect towards holocaust victims by advocating ethnic cleansing.
-
you support the ethnic cleansing of palestinians. it's a good thing that your sick kind are in the small minority.

Tiananamen 'Tank Man' - alternate photo
bud replied to Moonlight Graham's topic in The Rest of the World
that was a pretty shitty and shameful act. it should be acknowledged. you are trying to point out hypocrisy, but then you become a hypocrite by somehow using that act to excuse or downplay another act of brutality. your hypocrisy weakens the main message you're trying to share. -
Tiananamen 'Tank Man' - alternate photo

did you miss the part where an estimated 3000 civilians were killed during the protests? -
disrespect and selfishness towards our fellow humans and our planet is not sustainable. our current direction will end either by us acknowledging in time that the bad habits need to stop or it will end by a catastrophic chain of events.
-
if a criminal wanted to kill a large number of people, it would be a lot easier for him to do it in a number of other places rather than the airport where the security is either a lot lower or non-existent.

you realize, dogonporch, by your amazing, super duper logic, since the stern gang (a jewish terrorist group) collaborated with fascists and nazis, this makes you (a jew) also a nazi.
-
so you will not address the points made about europeans who collaborated with the nazis. the jewish group that collaborated with the nazis and you will hang on to your weak propaganda? that's fine. it's not expected of you to be honest.

shut up with this mufti crap. one person's collaboration, who did not represent palestinians, does not give you the right to be a liar. what about the peoples and governments of france, italy, romania, croatia, bulgaria, switzerland, etc. who all collaborated openly with the nazis? do you know of any idiots sitting behind the computer announcing that the people from these countries are nazis because at some point the government of these countries (and not just one person) collaborated with the nazis? no. so shut up already with your illogical bs. it's unfair, if not outright criminal, to exploit mufti's conduct in order to eternally condemn the palestinian people as nazis, while ignoring the choices made by most european peoples and governments who openly collaborated with the nazis. what about lehi's contact and proposed alliance with the nazis? do you ever bring that up? what about the weapons they purchased from fascist italy in order to attack the british? On 11 January 1941, Vice Admiral Ralf von der Marwitz, the German Naval attaché in Turkey, filed a report (the "Ankara document") conveying an offer by Lehi to "actively take part in the war on Germany's side" in return for German support for "the establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich." link does this make you and the rest of jews, nazi supporters? of course not you idiot.

who is this clown? where do you get off with these types of comments? you're like a foxnews pundit, jacked up on retard.

not so respected anymore since the findings of his research, which were funded by several oil and energy companies, all support the companies' quest to make more profit. you still think he deserves respect, considering this: Charles G Koch Foundation, a leading provider of funds for climate sceptic groups, gave Soon two grants totalling $175,000 (then roughly £102,000) in 2005/6 and again in 2010. In addition the American Petroleum insitute (API), which represents the US petroleum and natural gas industries, gave him multiple grants between 2001 and 2007 totalling $274,000, oil company Exxon Mobil provided $335,000between 2005 and 2010, and Soon received other grants from coal and oil industry sources including the Mobil Foundation, the Texaco Foundation and the Electric Power Research Institute. Exxon provided $55,000 for Soon to study Arctic climate change in 2007 and 2008, and another $76,106 for research into solar variability between 2008 and 2010. Southern gave Soon $120,000 starting in 2008 to study the Sun's relation to climate change, according to the FIA documents. In one 2003 email released to Greenpeace, that Soon sent, it is believed, to four other leading sceptics, he writes: "Clearly [the fourth assessment report] chapters may be too much for any one of us to tackle them all ... But as a team, we may give it our best shot to try to anticipate and counter some of the chapters ..." He adds: "I hope we can ... see what we can do to weaken the fourth assessment report." In 2003 Soon said at a US senate hearing that he had "not knowingly been hired by, nor employed by, nor received grants from any organisation that had taken advocacy positions with respect to the Kyoto protocol or the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change."

here is a good article from vanity fair that goes deep into the situation and the players involved: Beware of Greeks Bearing Bonds As Wall Street hangs on the question “Will Greece default?,” the author heads for riot-stricken Athens, and for the mysterious Vatopaidi monastery, which brought down the last government, laying bare the country’s economic insanity. But beyond a $1.2 trillion debt (roughly a quarter-million dollars for each working adult), there is a more frightening deficit. After systematically looting their own treasury, in a breathtaking binge of tax evasion, bribery, and creative accounting spurred on by Goldman Sachs, Greeks are sure of one thing: they can’t trust their fellow Greeks. link

Behind N.Y. Gay Marriage, an Unlikely Mix of Forces
bud replied to WIP's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
most of these corporations and special interest groups send cash to both parties. they don't really care whether a democrat or a republican gets in, because they have helped to finance their elections.
