tbh i think there are preacius few fundemntalists and it does no one any good to assume to trivalise to lable them as such...moono said:Right. By the time it got around to actually sharing a parliament most of the fundamentalists will have killed each other off.
KeyboardJockey said:What about the inhabitants of Israel? Should they disappear? The one state solution would just mean even more bloodshed. Democracy is a fine and noble aim but the democracy of the mob is not something to be admired.
why don't you...KeyboardJockey said:Why don't you support those on the ground who are working for peace rather than supporting a 'solution' that will cause more bloodshed?

are likid in power at present?moono said:You think what you like, Garfield.
That sure sounds like a fundamentalist to me.
nino_savatte said:IIRC, Chaim Weizman was an Ulsterman.
huh? dont' gettit???moono said:Don't hound me, Garfield, or I'll discredit your tagmemics.
nino_savatte said:Don't bother replying, because I will report you.
nino_savatte said:Kindly fuck off.
nino_savatte said:Posts reported.
Lock&Light said:Grow up, nino.

Lock&Light said:Unfortunatly, nino seems to be incapable of putting me on 'ignore'.
With the electoral system as it is in Israel, no party is ever totally disengaged from power, you should know that.GarfieldLeChat said:are likid in power at present?
Fatuous.then how is this different from nick griffin say we should send them all back...![]()
Couldn't the same question reasonably be asked of you?tell me moo when were you in isreal or palestine? how much ground experince have you got?
nino_savatte said:Oh, the irony! You categorically refuse to put anyone on ignore but expect others to use the function. Is your ego really so big that you feel you're too good to use the ignore button yourself?
You really are quite full of yourself.

Likud have been in power, and possibly will again, what scum like Netanyahu say carries far more weight with the electors than the ramblings of filth like Griffin.
enough, and likely some more before the years is out, all being well at the boarder.... my point is that moono has stated several times that they haven't ever been and perffer to support from afar for their own reasons. which is fair enough solidarity is good however, to presume to tell others what the mindset is based on these far off observeations is also misleading, extremisim on the ground or fundementalism is relative to the situation. I don't think it's exretemeism for example considering the conditions in the refugee camps to consider rising up and blowing yourself up it's understand as a reaction. however, if you go to tel aviv and look at what's being shown on tv and the slant and bais which is protraied in the meejah there you'd can also see that the rhetoric dished out is also understandable as the inhabitants largely get their information through santised and very much anti arab/palestinian channels... again this isn't exremeism it's reaction to the situation.ViolentPanda said:Couldn't the same question reasonably be asked of you?
Lock&Light said:Well, nino, I don't go apoplectic every time I see a post from you. It's you who suffers from that handicap, so perhaps it is you who should do something about it.

Obviously.GarfieldLeChat said:however int his case his is just saber rattling for his own party... if we take everything likid say as being evidence of an overall scheme or plot then there'd be nothing with which left to fight...
Again, for all we can tell at the moment, Fat Benny is flying a kite, both for any "stray" Zionists in Israel, and for his Christian Zionist and AIPAC friends back in the USA.the point being is he's opposition at present and so his words carry little wieght except with his own party, who we know are not in power, or likely to be (mainly becuase all the power houses for likid became kameda) equally he's also trying to secure his legacy as a better pm than olmert...
I agree with that. I think there's an essential "something" missing from your mental calculus if you haven't been there, and that goes for supporters of both "sides" of the issue. I was last there in '90, during the 1st intifada, which is quite a while ago I admit, but I still hear fellow Jews as well as Muslims, Christians, Uncle Tom Cobley and all sounding off because of what they've read or heard without bearing in mnd the process of mediation that the info they receive has passed through.enough, and likely some more before the years is out, all being well at the boarder.... my point is that moono has stated several times that they haven't ever been and perffer to support from afar for their own reasons. which is fair enough solidarity is good however, to presume to tell others what the mindset is based on these far off observeations is also misleading, extremisim on the ground or fundementalism is relative to the situation.
I still get amazed that in a world absolutely dominated by media dissemination, that more people don't engage critically with what is put before them.I don't think it's exretemeism for example considering the conditions in the refugee camps to consider rising up and blowing yourself up it's understand as a reaction. however, if you go to tel aviv and look at what's being shown on tv and the slant and bais which is protraied in the meejah there you'd can also see that the rhetoric dished out is also understandable as the inhabitants largely get their information through santised and very much anti arab/palestinian channels... again this isn't exremeism it's reaction to the situation.
Nothing ever is, there is no "black and white" (except with lith prints).lableing ether as such is dismissive of the causes wholesale and also sensationalist, and sadly due to the continued barrage of pro isreali media world wide it also conjures up an image of the mental arab or the war hungery ireali and panders to sterotypes...
I'm not saying these people don't exist, hell i want my prejudices confirmed each time as it makes for quick easy photos without thinking about your angle (there a shabab with rock there's a settler looking like a bandito there's a tank, the wall etc) however it's rarely the case that these present themselves if at all... and it's not down to lack of access, in that area i have been very fortunate.
from the outside these actions i conceed look like utter madness and the pinicals of extremeism a carbon copy clone of every mental thing which has happened but inside of it it's not so clear cut.
ViolentPanda said:Obviously.
Except that I'm not that willing to concede that Netanyahu is merely rattling his saber. Given his connections, he's likely manouvering too.

very true...ViolentPanda said:As for securing a better legacy as PM than Olmert, Olmert's wankishness aside, as long as people remember Netanyahu's grotesque wife, Fat Benny is going to find that a hard job!![]()

IF they go there, whatever their belief about who is right or wrong, the one thing they WILL learn is that what is represented to them by the media as the reality of Israel/Palestine is a very narrow slice of life indeed.

Sounds like the synogogue of Satan to me.
