Can you look at this map and say Israel does not systemically appropriate land?

I should have said the Bering Straits? Regardless, the Native Americans came to the Americas in more than one wave. So, earlier waves had to contend with later waves. But, they were only considered indigenous people by the Europeans, since the Europeans came later, and could not be part of the eariest arrivals. But, what should have the Euroepeans done? Adopt the Native American culture. Stop making wheels? Live in tepees. Hunt buffalo? Sounds silly?

Yes. It is your primary tactic of late, unfortunately.

Only by engaging in ad hominem tactics, and by pretending that I've said things I didn't say.




Setanta wrote:
"Ad hominem," on the other hand, is a bit of internet babble in which one actually turns the tables, and whines about being insulted rather than actually addressing the argument advanced against them.


It is pretty silly to pretend that "ad hominem" isn't a way of referring to "argumentum ad hominem".




Setanta wrote:
And you have been wrong again and again.


I again point out that you can not show one place that I've ever been wrong (things that I've never said don't count as me being wrong).




Setanta wrote:
You've cobbled together this "i only meant the west bank" since then to try to claim that you weren't wrong about your facts.


Nope. I made it clear from the beginning that this was the only place that I was calling Israel's ancient homeland.




Setanta wrote:
As far as i can see, you are either woefully ignorant, or willfully disingenuous.


No. It is a matter of me being completely correct.

I snipped out a lot of your repeated false claims about what I said. I set the record straight a dozen or so times already, and so there was no need address the whole pile of malarkey all over again.




Setanta wrote:
You are also wrong about the success of the IDF in the recent invasion of the Lebanon. Their mission was not to kill as many non-combatant Lebanese as possible. Given that that's the only accomplishment to which you can point, you're wrong that the invasion was any kind of success, even by the self-serving and paltry standards of the Israeli government.


Well, I'm personally delighted with the level of destruction inflicted on Lebanon. If you are dissatisfied, all I can say is maybe Israel will do even better yet the next time around.




Setanta wrote:

No I'm not.

The notion that you making an empty claim that I am wrong somehow pushes me into a corner is ludicrous.

Your empty accusations get a "no I'm not" because that is all the response they deserve.

Start arguing on the facts instead of making false accusations and you might get a response with a bit more substance.

Wrong. I recognized other rights too.

In fact, most of us are not.


I've found that almost every single criticism of Israel that I've ever heard has actually just been poorly disguised anti-Semitism.

I've also found an extremely high correlation between monsters who favor putting innocent honors students in prison, and people who spew anti-Semitism.

Who exactly were these so-called "Palestinians" during the time period in question?


The Palestinians were the indigenous people who inhabited this land during the time period. The Palestinian people have origins there dating back to Canaanite, Hebrew, and post-Hebrew times. Over the ages they subscribed to various religions including the many pagan religions of the area, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.


No. The Palestinians are mostly Arab invaders.

The Israelis have their ancient origins there however.

The time period, as you will plainly see indicated in the map images, covers the years between 1946 and 2000.


Actually, it only covers specific periods within that timeframe, which were carefully selected in order to give a highly misleading impression of the whole period. In short, the series of maps is anti-Semitic propaganda.

In other words, you write to spew anti-Semitic lies.

The correlation between "monsters who support sending innocent people to prison" and "anti-Semites" holds.

It can't be biased sources, because I don't read those.

True that I only read English. However there are plenty of unbiased English news sources.

Of course. Palestinians like to murder innocent people. Gotta guard against them.

What Israel does in Palestine, is prevent Palestinians from murdering innocent Israelis.

Don't worry. Israel will never try to treat anyone with the same cruelty.

All Israel is going to do is defend themselves from people who attack them.

I do not compare the invasion of Gaza (based on the retaliation for 8,000 missiles from Palestineans) with the "Jew hunt" in all Nazi occupied countries, that was gladly assisted by many from each occupied country.

If Palestineans can claim that one-third of their population was killed (forget the six million figure for a moment) then I can see some equality. The Jews lost their civilization in Europe. The Palestineans lost people, due to their using population centers as camouflage. Their culture continues right where it is.

If the pro-Palestinean position, of non-Middle Eastern people, shows anything, it is that the attitude during WWII, that Jews were expendable, has not really changed in the minds of many people. Since Israel understands this, I am not optimistic about peace there. Only Germany, that has its own cross to bear from WWII, can understand Israel's position. But, in my opinion, many other people of European descent just cannot get over the intractable attitude that Jews are not supposed to function like other people.

See what two-thousand years of brainwashing can do.


So, Foofie, it's about numbers now?


If someone wants to pretend that "Jews defending themselves" is the same as "the Holocaust", numbers seems a relevant issue.

Probably more relevant though that there is a substantial difference between murder and self defense, regardless of the numbers.

That is incorrect. When Palestinians run around trying to murder people, and Israelis defend themselves, the lives of the defenders are far more important than the lives of the murderers.




failures art wrote:
Your blaming of Palastine for the casualties inflicted by the IDF is cowardly.


I can't see how such a statement could possibly be either brave or cowardly.

The statement, however, is correct. If the Palestinians had not been trying to murder people, the IDF would not have been defending against them.

I do read unbiased sources from Israel now and then.

My main sources of news are BBC from the UK, and PBS from the US (I used to do NPR too, but I no longer consider them unbiased).

Well, if a source is anti-Semitic, there is little point to discussion. The source is wrong, and it is evil beyond redemption.

But we might be getting ahead of ourselves here. The only thing I'm accusing of anti-Semitism at the moment is that vile creature McTag.

Collateral damage is unfortunate, but if Israel didn't have to defend themselves, it wouldn't have happened.
