We are all settlers now but I am a xenophobe too. How come you escaped so lightly?![]()

Reffo, it is pretty funny that Shoded Yam thought I was rational and you "beyond hope" considering my views are more right wing then yours. If he knew where I lived, I don't think he'd want to converse with me anymore.

Not to be rude, but I think you guys are taking the wrong approach to this site. I think you should focus on the post authors and their articles more and the nutbag Jew hating talkbackers less. You'll notice Deir Yassin repeatedly tried to goad me into a conversation but I ignored him completely, which I'm sure he did not appreciate at all.

From what he says, he thinks I am a "settler" that's why what he says below is scary ...
I hope he is only speaking for himself. Even better, I hope he doesn't really mean it (although that's unlikely). The idea that there are many like him (which again I doubt) would be too awful to contemplate.I am not proclaiming myself spokesman for the collective. I spaek only for myself. I see people like yourself as being expendable. You’re house is expendable you’re prosperity or lack therof inconsequential , toward the stated goal of defined and secure borders for the republic. Period. You get it now dum dum?I only care whether you stole land or not as a weapon to use against you
One thing is for sure, he seems to think of "settlers" as a greater enemy than the Arabs. Not only he is an idiot, as I told him, but he is criminally insane. Then again, he could be an Arab masquarading as a Jew in order to sow discord in our ranks. Who knows, after all this is the internet![]()

You could be on to something. The only down side is that people like Yossi have got an unfair adventage, as moderators, and they don't hesitate using that advantage, as we discussed before.Originally Posted by Yala
As for Deir Yassin, I had the opposite experience with her (he is a she). I had a couple of short sharp interchanges with her and she quickly skulked off. Although that wasn't how it turned out last time on Dahlia's blog when she bitterly complained about me mentioning Hamas's Mickey Mouse, Farfur. Unfortunately I wasn't in the position to respond because Dahlia was hovering with her eternal "This is out of topic ..." so I did the next best thing and urged Dahlia to warn Deir Yassin. Which to Dahlia's credit, she did do.

Dahlia seems to be the most sane minded of the columnists. Of course her politics make me want to vomit, but she does seem to mediate her "channel" fairer than the others.

So she's the world's tallest midget or the greatest Kuwaiti downhill skier, then.
The latest hot topic in 972 is the new bill passed in the Knesset that would officially declare Israel to be a Jewish State for the Jewish people. Of course, the 972ers have a different title: "Knesset bill would formalize second-class status for Arab citizens"
There is one poster there who goes by "Dr. Bill" (woe to me as I accidentally called him "Mr." instead of "Dr." in one of my replies to him). Anyhoo he identifies himself as an anti-zionist Jew and as a member of the BDS, who proudly signs every post he makes with "BDS". To give you an idea of how wacko he is:
Now here is my reply to this topic in that forum:Deir Yassin,
or maybe he’s one of the Borg from one of the Startrek series, you know, “resistance is futile”.
But I’m happy to see that Zionism has finally reached its absurd conclusion after all these years of pretending to be a haven, a refuge, the ONLY democracy in the middle east. They are finally admitting it. It’s a Jewish state for all Jews all the world over, whether they like it or not, and will speak in the name of all Jews all the world over whether they like it or not, and when all of their actions are so repugnant to the world, the world will respond, by once again discriminating against all Jews all over the world whether they like it or not;
…..and then the Zionists will finally be happy.
They can go to hell [emphasis mine].
BDS,BDS,BDS
And the soap opera continues....I just read the Hebrew version of the bill and I don’t understand the knee jerk reactions (well aside from the anti-zionist, one staters). The bill says Arabic is granted special status (it doesn’t say this about any other language), it protects the rights of all religions and ethnicities to practice and keep their culture, traditions, religion, etc., all holy sites (of all faiths) will be protected. Other than that, the bill is basically confirming the status quo of Israel since 1948: Law of Return (yes, there is one state in the world where Jews know they can always find refuge, no apologies from me), Jewish holidays are the national holidays (how terrible!), Shabbat is the official day of rest (how terrible!), Hebrew is the national language, while special consideration is given to Arabic speakers (how terrible!), the symbols of the flag are the Star of David and the two stripes symbolizing the tallit (how terrible!), the Jewish Calendar is the offical calendar of the country (how terrible!), Independence Day, Holocaust Memorial Day, and Yom HaZikaron are official holidays as well (how terrible!), and yes, people of one ethnic group or religion (not just Jews) have the right to form a separate community. My gosh, the sky if falling!!!!![]()

Yes, I got very much under the skin of Mr Bill because everytime I address a post to him, I make it a point that Israel is there to stay and any reports about Israel's imminent demise are premature and greatly exaggerated. I think he is an old style communist of the worst kind.
I will keep an eye on him and make it my business to make him uncomfortable and lose his cool wherever possible.
