Smallc Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Perhaps if Israel stopped building settlements on Palestinian land,Apparently if I build a house where you don't want, you're quite free to shoot a mortar at it.and then stopped bombing them when they retaliate,If someone were shooting at you, would you just sit there and hope that they stop?the place might actually see a little peace. Although I get that Palestinian's are brown.It has far less to do with skin colour (as in nothing) than violence that is, for the most part, not started by Israel. Quote

Derek 2.0 Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Speaking of the NDP and Jews: Stefan Jonasson is no longer running in Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia—Headingley after comments surfaced in which he compared the beliefs of one set of Orthodox Jews to the Taliban. I guess if one is going to bash Jews, doing it during the week of Yom Kippur when they're in temple and then celebrating with friends and family is the best time to do it........Mazel tov Mulcair!!!

ToadBrother Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 It is hard to imagine an adult not understanding the signifigance of 'Auschwitz'. It's my feeling that the candidate is simply lying, thinking, likely, that it is better to look like a fool than something much much worse. Quote
ToadBrother Posted September 25, 2015 Report Posted September 25, 2015 Palestine is a nation? A civilized nations? Want me to post you information about all the internal torture and murder the Palestinians engage in? Hell, I bet more Palestinians were killed by Palestinians in the last year than by Israelis. Lots of nations torture and murder. No one denies that North Korea is a real nation, despite a level of despotism and torment that may in fact make it one of the most vile regimes in history. Quote
Argus Posted September 27, 2015 Report Posted September 27, 2015 Although I get that Palestinian's are brown. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference, physically, between many Israelis and a Palestinian, but I'm quite sure you would be frantic in your efforts to do so. After all how could you tell which was more worthy of your bleeding heart liberal sympathy if you didn't figure out which one was more brown than the other?

Argus Posted September 27, 2015 Report Posted September 27, 2015 So why don't we just shut this place down and call it Argusland? Apparently he has the monopoly on truth according to smallc. Nonsense. There is no monopoly on truth. I simply have a lot of it. If you read more of my posts, you might have some too!

This is unfortunate, and he was right to criticize the NDP for cowardice in not defending him. He said and did nothing wrong. His comparison of the Haradim and how they treat women to the Taliban was apt and correct. It was not Jew bashing, it was fanatic bashing. I doubt JBG would disagree, either.

He's not bashing Jews in general, just the obnoxiously fundamentalist Haredim sect. And despite the sensationalized headline, he didn't "link them to the taliban". He compared their religious fundamentalism to the Taliban. Nothing he said is actually wrong: Three years ago, Jonasson posted a link to a religious article on social media, and compared the Haredim, an Orthodox branch of Judaism, to the Taliban. "Much like the Taliban and other extremists, the Haredim offer a toxic caricature of faith at odds with the spirit of the religious tradition they profess to represent," he wrote. It's too bad you can get kicked out of the election for saying something as reasonable as that. I would have more respect for the NDP if they'd stood behind him. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

GostHacked Posted September 27, 2015 Report Posted September 27, 2015 Virtually all anti-Zionists are anti-Semites. I take it as a given that anyone who uses the term pejoratively is an anti-Semite. And all Muslims are terrorists, all lefties are idiots... Are we still dealing with this mentality on this board? Yes,, yes we are. Quote

marcus Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Thank you for your contribution. My pleasure. Thank you for accepting that Libby Davis was attacked based on false and tired labels. Kind of like how Argus is so ready to call anyone who criticizes Israel and Zionism an anti-semite. Quote "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.
SpankyMcFarland Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Those remarks are pretty harmless in my book. Where will this PC stuff end? Political candidates should be asked to watch they say once they get into politics but are entitled to a normal life beforehand. Otherwise, we are going to exclude a lot of good people.

I agree, she should have just apologized, everyone has said something dumb and inappropriate but it amazes me how many people do it on social media and don't expect it to come back at them.
