blackbird Posted November 21, 2024 Report Posted November 21, 2024 " If I forget thee, O Jerusalem… (Psalm 137) It is the great moral disorder of our time. Dear Israel is but a spit of earth on a huge globe. Three years after six million Jews were put to torture, humiliation, whippings, rape, medical experiment, starvation, and vile death, was it not surely time — time for all the nations of the Earth who had reached some moral understanding of life and government — to allow Jewish people time to rest, time to mourn, time to see what and who might be left of them. To find just one period, just one time, just one place where and when they did not have to start up in the middle of the night when unfamiliar sounds disturbed, did not have to hear demagogues howling at them from street corners, or put up with the trendy, ignorant western pseudo-radicals shouting in bullhorns from library steps. To not see their shops and homes targets of mobs and slanders, their synagogues battered. A time when they might gather on a bit of land where dogs were not set upon them; where children did not mock them; where passerby thugs did not attack their elders in the street; where Jews unique in their sorrow and pain could meet with some of their tormented doubles, if for nothing else but to share laments and profound griefs, generate solace by shared company and memory. Ah, Jews. Ah, Israel." Rex Murphy: Hatred of Israel is the great moral disorder of our time 1 1 Quote
eyeball Posted November 21, 2024 Report Posted November 21, 2024 A time when they might gather on a bit of land where dogs were not set upon them; where children did not mock them; where passerby thugs did not attack their elders in the street; If only the Jews hadn't done this and worse to the people already living on that tiny sliver of land. What a waste of sympathy. 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
myata Posted November 21, 2024 Report Posted November 21, 2024 - Does a disagreement, or less than absolute agreement with all policies and/or actions of the state of Israel amount to "hate of Israel"? - Is universal morality conditional on or/and requires absolute and unconditional support of every policy and political platform of Israel? - Do we really need more of religion-pumped and inflated pseudo-moral crusades? Hasn't the past taught us anything? 1 Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

As they should not. Jews have been historical scapegoats. No matter what they do, some people will hate them. I am enjoying Israel sticking up the middle finger to the World, after so many years of Jews trying to "do the right thing." Just now, Army Guy said: I also very sure nobody really gives a rats ass what the UN has to say about anything The problem with the UN is that every country has an equal vote. There was dozens of Muslim countries and only one Jewish country. In addition to that, the Arab countries often put pressure on European countries to vote a certain way since they have oil, and most now have a significant Islamic population. 1 Quote

What do you think Iran's goal for that region is? What do you think Hezbollah's goal for that region is? What do you think Hamas's goal for that region is? By your own guesstimate, what percent of Jews in Israel would have to die for those guys to be happy? Would 100% be too many for them? How old do you think the average Palestinian is before they are groomed to kill Israelis? How do you think these people, who see red when they think about Palestinian partition, feel when they think about Pakistani partition, which was easily 1,000x as bad? Do they get 1,000x as mad, equally mad, or are they A-ok with it? I know that you don't know the answers to those questions, and/or that you don't want to know. I know that you put a lot of stock in the things that people like Ilhan Omar say.

myata Posted November 22, 2024 Report Posted November 22, 2024 I've no intent of worshiping any idols, including any one state, ideology, religion etc. That is very simple: observe, think, decide for yourself. You have the eyes and the brain. They exist for a reason. No fetishes. And no idols. And I think those who pretend or insist on that may have a bit more more intelligence than a dead rock or naivety than a newborn and so it has to be that: lying. See it for what it is. The eyes and brain evolved, in billions of years, for a reason. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant
Moonlight Graham Posted November 22, 2024 Report Posted November 22, 2024 In criminal justice, there's also a long trend in many cases of the left putting their sympathies more behind the criminal than the victims. Gary had a bad childhood and committed theft and murder, feel sorry for him. Meanwhile, who is caring about the dead guy's family or the person who had their stuff stolen?

Someone important must have thought Canada would benefit by joining when it meant Jewish refugees would go somewhere else. As you should know by now Canada was instrumental in formulating the UN plan used to partition Palestinians from Jewish refugees. So did the United Nations General Assembly become useless in your opinion before it passed Resolution 194 or after? 1 Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.
