It is you who are equating the existence of Israel with the continued existence of Jews in the world.
No, that is not correct. You are the one making statements that seem to indicate that you consider the continuance of the state of Israel to be equivalent to the continuance of the Jewish people.
The state of Israel could disappear - and the Jewish people would go on. But more importantly, the state of Israel could continue in existence - but not in the Middle East in the midst of absolutely implacable enemies.
Quote:Both of which you would like to see disappear.
That is so goddam stupid, I really regret dignifying it with a response, but I will. I do not want to see Israel disappear. I would love to see it stay exactly where it is today - and to be surrounded with loving, friendly neighbors.
BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
Personally, I think the state of Israel could be set up some place else - preferably, in my opinion, here in the United States some way.
Barring that, I think the only solution that works is to have the state of Israel cease to exist - and have the United Nations take the entire area in dispute and set up a protectorate with no states there - open to residency by all Jews and Arabs. I would have no trouble with a proposition that, if the state of Israel did go out of existence, would grant immediate American citizenship to every Jew who decided not to live in the Middle East because of the changes.

Horseshit! If I mention I am not an anti-Semite, it is because of the structure of what is being discussed. Go back and read the stuff that went on before I mentioned that I am not an anti-Semite in this thread. The entire reason for the mention was that I am doing some of the things you consider anti-Semitic - and I am telling you that you are a jerk for thinking that some of these things indicate anti-Semitism.
Quote: Regarding whether IMO you are or are not an Anti-Semite I will keep that to my self
Jesus Christ, au, read what you write, will you. Look at what you wrote earlier in this paragraph - and then look at this last sentence. I am sure everyone but you got a huge laugh at of this nonsense.
Quote:...and let your words speak for you.
I am totally willing to do that.
Anyone who thinks I am an anti-Semite based on what I am writing here, please speak up!
Quote: The subject is the State of Israel and it's existence period. Nothing more noting less and whether the road map is or is not working.
As for what the Israeli's would or would not do if they were faced with another Holocaust I do not know. However if were an Israeli I know darn well what I would do and it would not to march like a sheep to the gas chamber.
You are doing that again. You are equating the existence of Israel - with the existence of Jews. Jews lived without Israel - and they will live even if Israel eventually falls. I hope it doesn't happen. I hope Israel continues to exist. BUT IF IT DOES - IT MUST DO SO WITH THE FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WHO HATE THE IDEA OF A STATE OF ISRAEL IN THEIR MIDST - AND WILL NEVER BE PEACEFUL TOWARD IT.
Quote: As for whether there can be peaceful coexistence between Israel and it's neighbors actually in time I believe there will be.
Yeah, sure you do! And, pray tell, what exactly are you basing that "belief" on?
Quote:Quote: If by that you meant that you think Israel will take the whole Middle East with it if it is destroyed -- or if you meant that Israel will take the entire planet down with them if it comes to that -- then I agree with you.
I think they will do that.
I knew you would agree with that. The perfidious Jews are capable of anything. Who the hell are they to want to defend themselves.
You are the one who mentioned that
Quote:
before Israel goes down and there is another holocaust the entire region will. Never again means never again. However, it will never come to that.
If you think that statement was an ugly one, you should not have mentioned it. To castigate me for agreeing with you is absurd.
And the sarcasm of "..who the hell are they to want to defend themselves" is so damn corny and inappropriate, I amazed you can use it without blushing.
