Big Guy Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 There is an upcoming election that may indicate the support (or lack of it) for the Netanyahu in Israel. It will be interesting to see if the Zionists agree or disagree with the majority of Israelis; http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_ZIONIST_ELECTIONS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-04-18-11-29-02 Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
Moonlight Graham Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 Not all Zionists, just U.S. Zionists. From the article: The World Zionist Congress - a global Zionist body that formed more than a century ago but retains significant influence in Israel - is holding elections for U.S. delegates to its global assembly. At stake is leadership of an organization that helps manage agencies in Israel with budgets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. While past voting for the congress has attracted little attention beyond a small circle of American Zionist groups, liberal U.S. Jewish leaders are hoping this time will be different: They are pointing to the election as a way their communities can register discontent with the direction of the Israeli government after Benjamin Netanyahu won re-election last month. Hardline American Zionists are mobilizing as well to advance their priorities - including support for Jewish settlements on occupied land claimed by the Palestinians for their future state.

jbg Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 I voted in that election for the Reform Jewish slate, run by ARZA. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

marcus Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 Sounds good to me....Zionism > Terrorism. Zionism = Terrorism Menachem Begin was called a terrorist and a fascist by Albert Einstein and 27 other prominent Jewish intellectuals in a letter to the New York Times which was published on December 4, 1948. Specifically condemned was the participation of the Irgun in the Deir Yassin massacre: "terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants – 240 men, women and children – and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem."The letter warns American Jews against supporting Begin's request for funding of his political party Herut, and ends with the warning: "The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and his party and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a "Leader State" is the goal."[21]Lehi was described as a terrorist organization[22] by the British authorities and United Nations mediator Ralph Bunche.[23] Link Quote "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.

Good....the point should be obvious when it comes to Israel and Zionism, but some people who already enjoy the fruit of imperialism always get amnesia. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

That's a terrible argument. It's like someone trying to argue that slavery is okay to do today because it was done in the past. Quote When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi

Nice try....Canada still has unsettled land and resource claims...long after "slavery" was abolished. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Hudson Jones Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 Nice try....Canada still has unsettled land and resource claims...long after "slavery" was abolished. There is a big difference between unsettled land claims and what Israel is doing to the Palestinians. Nice try.

Over 2000 Gazans were killed and the rest have been living in an open air prison for over 8 years. The Palestinians have been occupied and their land has continuously shrunk in size for decades....

Oh the humanity ! {sobbing} What the British did or any other colonizer did over a century ago would not fly right now. Our laws and moral standards (for most of us anyway) have changed. What Israel has done and continues to do to the Palestinians right now is not being done by Canada to the aboriginals, so your comparison fails again.
