Which organization are you affiliated with? Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizballah ??
All of the above, probably.
I scrolled back a couple of pages and found really fascinating stuff about Israel. As a "gentile" who lived there 14 years I, as it turns out, was "subject for ethnic persecution". Funny but I never encountered the word "gentile" in any of the Israeli laws. But what can fool me probably can't fool Steve.
The marriage thing is simply untrue. It is not "against the law" - the problem is, there is no institute of civil marriage. As a result, Jews, Muslims, Christians can only get married by religious authorities - but as there is no atheist religious authority, yep, tough luck for atheists or agnostics like myself. They have to go to Cyprus, 300 km from Haifa, get their paperwork done there, and then the Zionist oppressors (insert your favourite cliche here) recognize it within 3 to 5 minutes. Same sex marriages are generally not recognized yet, but Tel Aviv municipality does - for taxation purposes as well.
I also wonder what kind of ethnic cleansing results growth in cleansed population, shows TV programs in that cleansed minority language during prime time and allows minority holidays to be included in package of paid optional holidays.
But heck, I'm only an eyewitness, no match for Geocities sites and books with colourful covers Steve (or steve?) uses.
Re main subject - did it ever happen that of two hostile parties one dismantled its weapons and as a result another one did as well? Not considering fairy tales.
