View Full Version : Bush Up In Poll!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A majority of Americans approve of the way President Bush is handling terrorism, according to a poll taken in the days after a former aide charged that Bush had underestimated the terror threat prior to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll released on Monday also showed gains in Bush's political position against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

The poll results suggest that the Bush campaign's attempts to paint Kerry as a tax-and spend Democrat who wavers on the issues had more impact on the race than charges by former White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke that Bush focused on Iraq and ignored al Qaeda in the months leading up to the 2001 attacks, CNN reported.

According to the poll, 58 percent of Americans approve of Bush's handling of the terrorism threat and 39 percent disapprove. His overall job approval rating stood at 53 percent, up four percentage points since a poll conducted at the beginning of March.

Given a matchup between Bush and Kerry, 51 percent of the respondents said they would likely vote for Bush -- up seven percentage points from a March 5-7 poll. Forty-seven percent said they would likely choose Kerry, down from 52 percent.

The poll of 1,001 adults was conducted March 26-28 and has an error margin of plus or minus three percentage points. "

Well of course they will vote for bush Kerry is way too liberal for theyre good old taste: He's against bombing up the world, against the great american values like "Fags not wanted- and now thats official!" and against the great american tradition of moving jobs to the third world...

How do you think Bush should handle the Israeli-Pal conflict?

Well for my humble opinion as an Israeli citizen, I believe The US and all the rest of the civilised world must take every action to force Israel, to end the occupation in a peaceful and fair way, and if the US president will realy pressure both sides like Clinton did back then, maybe the Israeli goverment will be forced to negotiate with the PAL representatives... as long as theyre leadership is moderate (compared to the possible future leadership of islamic extermists.)

Well Arafat is pretty moderate, but I think he lost control over the streets and now he is a symbolic figure, but the people of palestine will still unite around him if he will take drastic steps in one direction or another...

MAruan Barguti is a very popular, inteligent and moderate man, but our brilliant goverement decided to put him in jail...

and there still Ragub Dahlan and maybe even Quarei

interesting....I don't consider Arafat a moderate. I consider him a criminal who stole money from the Palestinian people and was never sincere about wanting peace with Israel. Barghouti is an interesting choice, although he still believes in the right of return for Palestinians, a red line for Jewish Israelis.

Well Arafat is not an angel but you got to talk to someone and he stoped the violence for a couple of years in the past, and i think he is still considerably a decent choise for a partner...
also I believe that Arafat, Barghouti and all the other secular palestinian leaders understand that the right of return is not a negotiable issue and they will be pretty happy with a return to the 67 borders and the right to build their Capital In Jerusalem.

No, the best way to discuss, is for you to come to a forum with some news article, piece, source, anything other than some blanket statement about how bad the US or Jooos are. Other than that, you are a troll. If you want to discuss something, do it right or don't do it at all.

Well, they were offered basically just that at Taba, with some land swaps of pre 67 land for post 67 land where it was deemed necessary to connect Gaza to the West Bank and for security prupsoes for Israel (it will be necessary to retain at least some of the West Bank hills for security purposes since many of them overlook Jewish villages). It was turned down. Both Arafat and Queria have consistently said that they will not compromise on a right of return.

I don't know if you like to entertain haters for the fun of it or what, but when someone's first three posts are nothing but lies, generalizations, and insults to me as an American and a Jew, I find rudeness is the only response they deserve. If they really wanted to discuss something, they would do a bit more than cite unambiguous quotes from Nixon.

Well as we all know words in politics doesnt mean much, only a couple of years ago Sharon said that not a single settlement will be moved and now he is the biggest enemy of the jewish settlers, just a year ago in the general elections held in Israel Sharon declared he opposes the security fence, and the opposition was so keen to build it, now Sharon builds the fence and the left-centrist opposition opposes it...
I guess Arafat and his fellow men understand that the right of return is an Ideal, but not an achieveble goal, and many oppinion polls taken in the occupied teritories show that about half or more of the palestinian public is willing to compromise on the right of return.

Ok, I really am going to have to ask you to supply some of the polls, because all the polls that I have seen conducted by Palestinian institutions show that the opposite is true. Not only that, but groups like Hamas and Islamic Jihad have gained most of the seats at the Palestinian Universities on a platform of how many Israelis they have murdered. Fatah has been losing popular support. I have Palestinian friends, btw, with family still living in the West Bank. They say that the PA should be dismantled at this point. That the PA no longer has control and the people see it as nothing but a corrupt, no good organization. He thinks that the only solution is UN intervention.

Speaking of polls....

Here is the latest Palestinian poll:

http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=20247

* Wide support for armed attacks: 87% support attacks against Israeli soldiers, 86% support attacks against settlers, and 53% support attacks against Israeli civilians.

I remember reading this poll in an ISraeli newspapper a couple of months ago...
well maybe the PA is not the model governing organisation... but today there are no one else Israel can talk too, and as we all see, not talking has much deadlier results than talking to corrupt leaders...
I do believe that there is a need for new moderate leadership for the PA but it has to come from the PA or at least from an international solution, because if Israel will stand behind such steps thats will only increase the hatred that already exists on the palestinian street towards Israel, and will make the new pro-israel goverment vonurable, and will most likely lead to a takeover by the extremists.

It's not my goal for everybody to like me. If this guy really is an Armenian Christian Israeli then I think his perspective may be valuable here. If he turns into a rabid troll propagandist, then he can be cut off like the Egyptian guy who was on here a while ago. Despite his gruff intro, I'm willing to see how this plays out, even if I know that I won't end up agreeing with him on everything.

First of all, go back and do the research and post the poll. Otherwise, we'll consider that you made it up.

Second, there has been less terrorist attacks since Israel has been fighting terror and not negotiating, rather than the other way around. Stop making stuff up please.

between 1997-2000 Israeli forces werent present at most of the occupied territories, there was very few terrorist attacks, since Sharon took power in 2001 and re-occupied the territories there been more than 1000 dead Israelis in terror attacks.

There was a peace process going on at the time, although there were still bus bombings going on in Jerusalem throughout Oslo. Israel would ask the PA to arrest those in charge and they almost never did. When they finally did, under tremendous pressure from Israel and the US, they would let them go a few weeks later. The PA jails were considered "revolving doors."

When Arafat walked away from Camp David and Taba, I believe that his goal was to try and turn Israel into Lebanon, and to try and exact greater concessions from Israel through violence.

Well it took the jews who were locked in the ghettos during the wwII 3 years to uprise against the nazis and many jews started fighthing guerrilla warfare against the german army I dont want to compare but today in palestine the situation pretty reminds the ghettos that jews were placed in during the holocaust, its only natural theyre uprise... of course i dont support terrorists but I do understand why some people feel there is no other choise, and the palestinian public sees that terror brings some political results if there was no intifada in 1989 the Israeli goverement could never agree to negotiate with palestinians in Madrid and later Oslo.

Lets remember the fact the Camp DAvid negotiations had no legitimacy because Israeli prime minister Barak went there without having a goverement, and with a 90-30 minoirty in the knesset so he had no right to disscus anything.
again I dont believe arafat is a saint or even a decent man, but during oslo, every terrorist attack was a response, the 94-95 attacks were a respond to The massacre that Baruch Goldstein commited in Hebron, and the 96 attacks were a response to the elimination on Ihie Ayash one of the leaders of the HAMAs.

But they did have a a diplomatic option. The two sides came very close at Taba, they discussed all the major areas for negotiation. Arafat could have said, it's not quite enough, this is a serious offer, but we will need to continue to negotiate. Instead, he walked away from the peace process chose the path of violence.

The whole world is starting to understand that terror brings results. Not a good precedent, but alas, it is what the world has learned.

As far as the 1987 intifada is concerned, I do not think Madrid and Oslo were a result of that uprising. Following the 1967 war, the Arab League got together at Khartoum and rejected an Israeli peace proposal that would have returned the Sinai to Egypt, the Golan Heights to Syria and almost all of the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians for the creation of their own country (something that neither Egypt or Jordan were willing to provide the Palestinians) . The League established the "three nos" policy: no to recognition of Israel, no to negotiations with Israel, and no to peace with Israel. This was the PLO's stated position up until Oslo.

What changed was not the intifada, but other things happening in the world, mainly that Egypt took the historic opportunity to change their position regarding peace with Israel (and Sadat was murdered for it), Jordan followed Egypt's lead, and most importantly, the U.S.S.R. collapsed, which had been the Arab League's great ally throughout the cold war. The Arabs took the wrong side during that War. Arafat was in a weakened position and Rabin took advantage of that position by basically throwing Arafat a life line in the hopes that the PLO would ultimately be willing to recognize Israel, compromise on their nationalist aims and make peace.

This is the first time I have ever heard anything like that before and it seems really doubtful. You really will have to provide me with some evidence to back up your claim here that they were only there to play footsies under the table.

But they did have a a diplomatic option. The two sides came very close at Taba, they discussed all the major areas for negotiation. Arafat could have said, it's not quite enough, this is a serious offer, but we will need to continue to negotiate. Instead, he walked away from the peace process chose the path of violence.



The whole world is starting to understand that terror brings results. Not a good precedent, but alas, it is what the world has learned.

As far as the 1987 intifada is concerned, I do not think Madrid and Oslo were a result of that uprising. Following the 1967 war, the Arab League got together at Khartoum and rejected an Israeli peace proposal that would have returned the Sinai to Egypt, the Golan Heights to Syria and almost all of the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinians for the creation of their own country (something that neither Egypt or Jordan were willing to provide the Palestinians) . The League established the "three nos" policy: no to recognition of Israel, no to negotiations with Israel, and no to peace with Israel. This was the PLO's stated position up until Oslo.

What changed was not the intifada, but other things happening in the world, mainly that Egypt took the historic opportunity to change their position regarding peace with Israel (and Sadat was murdered for it), Jordan followed Egypt's lead, and most importantly, the U.S.S.R. collapsed, which had been the Arab League's great ally throughout the cold war. The Arabs took the wrong side during that War. Arafat was in a weakened position and Rabin took advantage of that position by basically throwing Arafat a life line in the hopes that the PLO would ultimately be willing to recognize Israel, compromise on their nationalist aims and make peace.

PLO recognized Israel just like most of the Arab countries... In 1993 Arafat was in the height of his popularity he was considered by the PAL public as a massiah who bravely fought for his nation and now returning to save his people and lead them to a better future, his popularity fell when he actualy ruled for a couple of years...

We will never know what happened in camp david, unless a truthfull source will tell it, you can take the Israeli side (Arafat walked out) The palestinian side (Barak didnt offered what he said later he offered) or clintons side (I did not have sex with that woman :D )
I chose believe none of the sides and to think that the truth is somewhere in the middle, also lets not forget that the arabs are not the only one who oppose peaceful resolutions, and in fact in 1972 Golda Meir rejected purposals by Saddat to sit at the negotiating table.

Again Im not defending terror or terrorists, but im not defending the actions that my country does to the people in the occupied territories, i'm as an Israeli cant be sutisfied by the fact that the other side are scumbags too, I dont want my country to be scumbags, I dont want criminal acts like home demolishing or land confiscation done by my country... I do hope the PAL's will understand that the best way to achieve their goals is by peaceful protest, but present terror as the root of the conflict is wrong and misleading, Land is the root of the conflict and fighting terrorists is just a reason that the Israeli goverement uses in the last decade or two.

We will never know what happened in camp david, unless a truthfull source will tell it, you can take the Israeli side (Arafat walked out) The palestinian side (Barak didnt offered what he said later he offered) or clintons side (I did not have sex with that woman :D )
I chose believe none of the sides and to think that the truth is somewhere in the middle, also lets not forget that the arabs are not the only one who oppose peaceful resolutions, and in fact in 1972 Golda Meir rejected purposals by Saddat to sit at the negotiating table.

This is not true. After the Palestinians walked out of the negotiations without even bothering to make a counter-offer, Arafat gave an interview and explained why he walked out. He had two complaints. The first was about the "Judaizing of Jerusalem." Since he was offered part of Jerusalem, the only way to interpret this is that he demanded a return to the pre-1967 lines, which would allow him to control access to the Western Wall.

The other issue was the "right of return." This is simply a Trojan Horse strategy.

You want so badly to believe that peace is possible with an enemy that wants to destroy you that you are willing to ignore the facts. The PLO played cat-and-mouse over recognizing Israel and ending its call for Israel's destruction. Even when the PLO seemed to say it had accepted a peaceful solution, individual leaders were running around the Arab world saying that it was all part of a two-stage strategy.

But the final proof that the PA was only trying to extract concessions to pave the way to victory was the fact that they completely abrogated all previous agreements by starting a war.

As for Saddat, after years of wars of aggression the side being attacked has every right to set conditions for negotiations. Notice the Arabs are always offering some vague peace or recognition if Israel withdraws to the "1967 borders" that they never recognized.

Wake up: a cultural that celebrates the intentional and brutal murder of defenseless civilians does not just suddenly embrace peace. It's perfectly reasonable to demand they demonstrate good faith. There is a "Roadmap to peace" and the Palestinians refuse to take the first step.

You can call me anything you like. Call me a monster or a murderer. Just note that I don't hate Arabs. On the contrary. Personally, I am much more at ease with them, and especially with the Bedouin, than with Jews. Those Arabs we haven't yet spoilt are proud people, they are irrational, cruel and generous. It's the Yids that are all twisted. In order to straighten them out you have to first bend them sharply the other way. That, in brief, is my whole ideology.

"Call Israel by any name you like, call it a Judeo-Nazi state as does Leibowitz. Why not? Better a live Judeo-Nazi than a dead saint. I don't care whether I am like Ghadafi. I am not after the admiration of the gentiles. I don't need their love. I don't need to be loved by Jews like you either. I have to live, and I intend to ensure that my children will live as well. With or without the blessing of the Pope and the other religious leaders from the New York Times. I will destroy anyone who will raise a hand against my children, I will destroy him and his children, with or without our famous purity of arms. I don't care if he is Christian, Muslim, Jewish or pagan. History teaches us that he who won't kill will be killed by others. That is an iron law.

"Even if you'll prove to me by mathematical means that the present war in Lebanon is a dirty immoral war, I don't care. Moreover, even if you will prove to me that we have not achieved and will not achieve any of our aims in Lebanon, that we will neither create a friendly regime in Lebanon nor destroy the Syrians or even the PLO, even then I don't care. It was still worth it. Even if Galilee is shelled again by Katyushas in a year's time, I don't really care. We shall start another war, kill and destroy more and more, until they will have had enough. And do you know why it is all worth it? Because it seems that this war has made us more unpopular among the so-called civilised world.

"We'll hear no more of that nonsense about the unique Jewish morality, the moral lessons of the holocaust or about the Jews who were supposed to have emerged from the gas chambers pure and virtuous. No more of that. The destruction of Eyn Hilwe (and it's a pity we did not wipe out that hornet's nest completely!), the healthy bombardment of Beirut and that tiny massacre (can you call 500 Arabs a massacre?) in their camps which we should have committed with our own delicate hands rather than let the Phalangists do it, all these good deeds finally killed the talk about a unique people and of being a light upon the nations. No more uniqueness and no more sweetness and light. Good riddance."

"I personally don't want to be any better than Khomeini or Brezhnev or Ghadafi or Assad or Mrs. Thatcher, or even Harry Truman who killed half a million Japanese with two fine bombs. I only want to be smarter than they are, quicker and more efficient, not better or more beautiful than they are. Tell me, do the baddies of this world have a bad time? If anyone tries to touch them, the evil men cut his hands and legs off. They hunt and catch whatever they feel like eating. They don't suffer from indigestion and are not punished by Heaven. I want Israel to join that club. Maybe the world will then at last begin to fear me instead of feeling sorry for me. Maybe they will start to tremble, to fear my madness instead of admiring my nobility. Thank god for that. Let them tremble, let them call us a mad state. Let them understand that we are a wild country, dangerous to our surroundings, not normal, that we might go crazy if one of our children is murdered - just one! That we might go wild and burn all the oil fields in the Middle East! If anything would happen to your child, god forbid, you would talk like I do. Let them be aware in Washington, Moscow, Damascus and China that if one of our ambassadors is shot, or even a consul or the most junior embassy official, we might start World War Three just like that !"

(Interview with Ariel Sharon published in the Israeli daily Davar Dec. 17, 1982)
----------AND HE GOES ON...----------------------
Leibowitz is right, we are Judeo-Nazis, and why not? Listen, a people that gave itself up to be slaughtered, a people that let soap to be made of its children and lamp shades from the skin of its women is a worse criminal than its murderers. Worse than the Nazis...If your nice civilised parents had come here in time instead of writing books about the love for humanity and singing Hear O Israel on the way to the gas chambers, now don't be shocked, if they instead had killed six million Arabs here or even one million, what would have happened? Sure, two or three nasty pages would have been written in the history books, we would have been called all sorts of names, but we could be here today as a people of 25 million!

"Even today I am willing to volunteer to do the dirty work for Israel, to kill as many Arabs as necessary, to deport them, to expel and burn them, to have everyone hate us, to pull the rug from underneath the feet of the Diaspora Jews, so that they will be forced to run to us crying. Even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and there, I don't care. And I don't mind if after the job is done you put me in front of a Nuremberg Trial and then jail me for life. Hang me if you want, as a war criminal. Then you can spruce up your Jewish conscience and enter the respectable club of civilised nations, nations that are large and healthy. What you lot don't understand is that the dirty work of Zionism is not finished yet, far from it. True, it could have been finished in 1948, but you interfered, you stopped it. And all this because of the Jewishness in your souls, because of your Diaspora mentality. For the Jews don't grasp things quickly. If you open your eyes and look around the world you will see that darkness is falling again. And we know what happens to a Jew who stays out in the dark. So I am glad that this small war in Lebanon frightened the Yids. Let them be afraid, let them suffer. They should hurry home before it gets really dark. So I am an anti-Semite ? Fine. So don't quote me, quote Lilienblum instead [an early Russian Zionist - ed.]. There is no need to quote an anti-Semite. Quote Lilienblum, and he is definitely not an anti-Semite, there is even a street in Tel Aviv named after him. (C. quotes from a small notebook that was lying on his table when I arrived:) 'Is all that is happening not a clear sign that our forefathers and ourselves...wanted and still want to be disgraced? That we enjoy living like gypsies.' That's Lilienblum. Not me. Believe me. I went through the Zionist literature, I can prove what I say.

"And you can write that I am disgrace to humanity, I don't mind, on the contrary. Let's make a deal: I will do all I can to expel the Arabs from here, I will do all I can to increase anti-semitism, and you will write poems and essays about the misery of the Arabs and be prepared to absorb the Yids I will force to flee to this country and teach them to be a light unto the gentiles. How about it ?"

No problem, minus!


KSO, I want to show you something:

The article that you posted is attributed to Amos Oz. Here:

http://www.iap.org/sharonisvile.htm

You will see that it is the exact article, word for word, that you posted.


Now I want you to see something else. It is a forgery, a lie. Here:

FACT:

Amos Oz never met nor interviewed Sharon. In fact, the so-called “interview” was a literary device taken from Oz's book “In the Land of Israel.” In the English version, the interviewee's identity is not revealed, and is referred to as Z (Flamingo/Fontana 1983).

Apparently, Palestinian propagandists substituted Sharon's name for Z in the Davar interview. The description of Z does not fit Sharon, and at one point Z refers to Sharon, Begin and General Eitan.

In a telephone conversation with journalist Holger Jensen, who had misattributed these quotes to Sharon, Amos Oz confirmed that he had never met nor interviewed Sharon. For more information on Holger Jensen's misuse of these quotes in the Denver Rocky Mountain News (“Obsessed Sharon applies brutal philosophy to advance Zionism,” April 13, 2002), read CAMERA's update on Holger Jensen's resignation.

Do drug lords deserve to kill people at will? After all they are merely products of their oppressive environment.

While I'm sure you want to look at the world strictly in terms of victims and heroes I'm not so sure "Jews Bad, Hulk Angry" is really a fleshed out thoughtful approach.


BTW I'll ask you the same question I ask everyone else. If 9% of the population of YESHA being Jewish is tantamount to a warcrime, what's your working acceptable number? 5%?, 3%? 1%? zero?

Well i dont look at the world at black and white terms, but i am an Israeli patriot, so i concentrate on MY country, and i dont want my country to occupy foreign lands, I dont want my country to spend 40% of its budget on the military, I dont want pro-transfer ministers in my goverement, are there bad palestinians? Sure! they are they have the same Degenerals and parasites that earn more money than Shaul Mofaz dreams of...

yeah, ok I have a couple of things to say. When anyone new comes to a forum like this, I give them the benefit of the doubt, even if it is clear from the very first post that I am not going to share their oppinions. I don't think it is a bad idea for pro-Arab supporters to post here provided that at least someone is willing to debate them. I know that it takes a lot of energy and time to properly debate someone and so if you don't feel up to it, no problem. But these arguments and false claims are used by pro-Palestinian supporters everywhere, so why not allow them to be raised here so that we can discredit the propaganda on this board for everyone else to see?

And by the way, KSO or others, if you are still here tomorrow, I will tell you that I am willing to be very honest about the conflict provided that you are willing to be equally honest with me.

Well such state doesn't exist and if it will exist someday you and me will critisize it together, but today i can criticize Israel, A state where palestinian can not own land, a state where a friend of mine an Israeli arab is married to a palestinian woman for 30 years but the she still doesnt have any status, a state where for a year and a half you cannot get married with a palestinian person, a state where a general makes 16 times more than the average person, and for today the biggest treat on the middle east.

I would like you to read an article (below) that answers not only this post, but a few others of yours in this thread (e.g. that the Camp David Accords were never meant to be serious negotiations and why they failed). The answers to these questions come solely from Palestinian leaders.

http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA14703

Also:

1. Palestinians do own their land in the West bank and Gaza. They also own their land in Israel too (provided that their buildings were built legally). There is a LOT of illegal construction that goes on that is funded by outside Arabs and the media only focuses on the Jewish settlements : http://www.jcpa.org/jlmbldg.htm

You could argue that not enough permits are issued to Palestinians. That is true in some places, not true anymore in other areas.

2. As far as your friend who is married to the Palestinian woman for over 30 years without acquiring Israeli citizenship, I find that odd, since over 150,000 Palestinians from the territories became naturalized Israeli citizens as a result of the Oslo Accords in the past 10 years. Abu Ala even claimed that this was the greatest achievment of Oslo.

"The Oslo accords have succeeded in returning more than 150,000 Palestinians to their homeland," he said. "This is part of our great ambition, to return all of the Palestinian refugees, our people, to their Palestinian towns and villages and to obtain for them compensation for the losses and the suffering that was inflicted upon them since 1948." http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA14703

3. The new law that was enacted to limit citizenship for new marriages to Palestinians may smack of racism, but I am willing to tolerate it since the measure is temporary, again - over 150,000 Palestinians have already became naturalized citizens of Israel in the past 10 years, and Israel is still at war with the Palestinians. If and when there is peace, and the Arabs no longer scream "Death to Israel" and pass out candy to their children when Jews are murdered in their streets, I will gladly fight for legislation to be removed. Until then, I accept this measure for what it is. Did you know that people cannot even travel to many Arab countries with an Israeli stamp on their passport, and Saudi Arabia will not allow Jews no matter where they are from to enter the country? Racist? These are Israel's neighbors. It's a tough neighborhood.

4. About the general making more money than the average person, it is too bad that the best and the brightest can't be rewarded by becoming teachers in Israel, and that all of Israel's top minds are being drawn into computers or military. Martin Buber (do you know who that is?) and Ahad Ha'am predicted that.


Again, here is that link: http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=ia&ID=IA14703

to all those comparing me to Kapos... thats nice, my grandmother is a survivor of the armenian Holocaust, and many of my family died during the ww2 fighting the nazis, you realy raise the level here!
also...
none of you can judge the kapos like other of the victims of the holocaust, you never been in that situation and you cant be sure what would you choose if you were in there position, I dont respect them but I dont think I or anyone else have the right to judge these people.

Is it my imagination that he was listed under location last night as being in Israel? :confused:

Mira: You are able to speak to who you wish. No one has the right to say otherwise, obviously.

But from my experience, posters such as KSO arent listening to what you or anyone else has to say?

Sorry but I just am too busy to read all of the posts here on this board, let alone ones I really dont need to hear, do not learn anything from and further infuriate me since far too many in the world think as KSO does and also dont wish to discover the truth.

It doesnt matter how much you or anyone argue the facts, he isnt listening.

Since I was too busy to focus on this thread fully, did he ever answer you in regards to the false Ariel Sharon interview?

Did he ever admit he had made a mistake?




Perhaps I have increasingly less patience for people such as KSO and I come here to relax, and learn from those who are either much wiser than I, or who have had paid much more attention to history, terrorism and various war tactics than I have.
Therefore, I myself have little time for KSO and the rest of them.

Now, should someone come here and really be interested in hearing the facts and will weight what they have heard here against what they have been indoctrinated with, then I am all ears and willing to listen.

So it wasnt a remark made against you and your time spent with these trolls that I made, but a form of agreement with Minusthejihad when he remarked he wouldnt give terrorists a mic on CNN either.


Why is he here?

It's the Yids that are all twisted. In order to straighten them out you have to first bend them sharply the other way. That, in brief, is my whole ideology.


That tells me all I need to know about KSO.

I dont think any of us is in a position to judge Kapos, we never been at that situation, we never had to make that awful choise, the holocaust is such a occasion that I think we cant judge any of the victims.

If you read back, you'll see that I did NOT call you kapo, nor nazi. I notice people using the word nazi too easily, I think it is wrong to call people nazi so easily. But if I remember correctly, you were the one who started the comparison to the WWII, and in a dubious way.

I figured KSO was quite young because of his beliefs and when he mentioned a grandmother in the Holocaust....it confirmed for me he/she was young.

So if the birth year has been changed, although I cannot imagine why KSO felt it was important to hide his age, then the location was changed as well, correct?

First Kapo, woops, KSO, is in Israel and 19, the next day it is in Russia on business and not 19 anymore, and some of you still believe what this fool has to say and worse yet, give this thug the attention it needs to say:

"Yids", "Israel = Apartheid state", etc. and allow it to compare Palestinian's conditions to that of the holocaust but then argue against making comparisons to the holocaust.

This dog needs to be ignored completely or put down. There is no "caught in the middle" anymore. People have picked sides already by this point, unless they are a yound teen, at which point if they are in IF.com saying the things Kapo has been saying, they've already sided with evil. One less hater, the better.

Its too bad that I'm not going to Russia with my parents next month, I'd love to pay Kapo a visit so it could call me a "Yid" to my face.

So..............Bush up in poll..a good thing or a bad thing? Being an European I'm not very informed about US politics. When the elections draw closer I'll be closely watching it though.
But it's strange, some people are so completely pro-Bush and others all for Kerry and think Bush is a disaster..sometimes also people I'd expect from to be a Bush supporter.

Mediocrates
04-01-2004, 12:57 PM
That's the key - this election has always been about ideology and feelings than it has been about people or positions or plans. Bush supporters seem to have most of the same talking points and would rather kill themselves than vote for anyone Democratic. Likewise many of the people who support Kerry happily slap bumperstickers on their cars that say "Elect Anyone but Bush for President", which may make them feel good but it's the same kind of ill informed frustrated apathy that gave rise to the worst of the 20th Century's tyrants and murderers. so Bush up in the polls is good? Who cares? It's mostly preaching to the choir.

Nazi would certainly not be the correct appellation in this circumstance, unlike other circumstances on this Forum where it is entirely appropriate. But, while the particular reference is uncalled for here, the title IDIOT does apply and I commend MTJ who was on to this guy from the getgo.

I don't know where to start debunking all your misinformation, but again, I would point out that you apparently support the creation of a Palestinian Apartheid state where Jews cannot own land, nor even exist anywhere in its borders without being murdered by Palestinians and where Christians are considered one step above dogs, forced to live in servitude as Dhimmis for their Muslim rulers.

As for the status of Arabs in Israel, you conveniently forgot to mention that Arabs constitute a full 20% of Israel's citizenship, that they vote in the general elections (including voting for Arabs to serve as Ministers in the Israeli Knesset) that Israeli Arabs receive welfare payments courtesy of the Israeli taxpayer, that Israeli Arabs do in fact own land in Israel, that they are eligible for top-notch medical care and housing subsidies, that they have complete freedom of religion, speech, etc.

As for being the "biggest threat in the Middle east", that is complete nonsense. Most civilized people understand by now that radical Islamic terrorists, and the primitive Arab culture that glorifies violence, murder and racial discrimination, is the biggest threat not only in the Middle east, but in the entire world.

That depends on what you mean. Strictly speaking if you refer only to the Parsha you read during the week and on Shabbat there are many references in Bresheit to women. As central characters in every case? That's debateable. But if you look at the entire Tanakh there are whole books, like Ruth, most of the significant parts of Judges and so on.
