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

Actually, whether it's a nation, or an entire continent of people, the term is still pertinent.

Today's conditions in the Gaza strip have been repeatedly referred to by any number of true journalist/correspondents as the largest open-air prison complex on the planet.

I don't know that any of the concentration camp survivors called the attacks by the Israeli government a "Genocide". Nor do I know of any other Jewish organisation doing so.

The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt"),[2] also known as the Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, HaShoah, "the catastrophe"), was a genocide in which approximately six million Jews were killed by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

You may have noticed the repetitive nature of his posts, he has about 10 pat responses which he just repeats in some form of another. Now you've spent two pages talking to him he will have exhausted his supply. You've gone as far as it's possible to go, all you can do now is go round and round with his circular arguments.

As for Imperialist Japan, the only time anyone has used nukes against a civilian target (yes John, that's terrorism) was your admin.

Bigots all, Nazis all,

Discussing the personal bent/s of members postings without context is not conducive to fair debate.
This board is suffering from the common affliction of most online communities; that of "familiarity breeds contempt".
As they say in sporting circles; "Play the ball, rather than the player.".

The A-bombs were dropped on military targets.

you're subject to all manner of insults.

not one of them has the decency to treat the Palestinians like human beings. This needs to be borne in mind when debating with such creatures.

Bloody hell . "I dont know", truer words were never spoken .
You lot are getting dumber . Read the following :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust

[Dont they cover that in German schools ?.

Not surprised that you missed this on your news feed.

I was doing that until I was dragged through the mud with smears of anti-Semitism and a refusal to discuss the issue.

None of the Israel supporters are remotely interested in discussing the here and now, and not one of them has the decency to treat the Palestinians like human beings. This needs to be borne in mind when debating with such creatures.

With respect ,you're a bit of a Johnny come lately regarding this thread, and don't know the full extent of what's gone on before.

And when you put the time and effort into finding relevant sources, suitable quotations, and so on you'll find they're just lazily dismissed with a single word response, and because you dared to mention it you're subject to all manner of insults.

It's hard to play the ball when the others don't even know there's a bloody ball, let alone how to play it.

Good point . There is no such thing as a biased journalist . Never has, never will be . By any number do you mean you have no idea of the number ? It could be one ?

Pigs arse . We have bushfires that have become fashionable to call firestorms by the press . Storms are mini cyclones and mini tornadoes . Car accidents are horrific . What will we call the extermination of an entire people like the Indians if fools over use the word Genocide ? What if a neighbourhood gets wiped out, is that genocide ?

Wow ! That explains why you got it wrong . Is it in English ?

There is a saying that is hundreds of uears old...dont believe everything you read . You sound gullible . Try to stick to peer reviewed material .

The peer-reviewed study, which will be taught at these universities in September, says: "The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence."

The Atomic Bomb: Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The Bombings

On August 6, 1945, after 44 months of increasingly brutal fighting in the Pacific, an American B-29 bomber loaded with a devastating new weapon appeared in the sky over Hiroshima, Japan. Minutes later, that new weapon—a bomb that released its enormous destructive energy by splitting uranium atoms to create a chain reaction—detonated in the sky, killing some 70,000 Japanese civilians instantly and leveling the city. Three days later, the U.S. dropped a second atomic bomb over the city of Nagasaki, with similarly devastating results. The following week, Japan’s emperor addressed his country over the radio to announce the decision to surrender. World War II had finally come to its dramatic conclusion.

The correct terminology (as I stated earlier) is apartheid.

Anti-Semitic hate terms are hardly "correct".

It still doesn't change the reality that the A-bombs were dropped on military targets.
