Nothing. I'm not the one suggesting that Palestinians (or anybody else for that matter) should not abet the Palestinian gangsters in their midst.

As a citizen, I let the police department and legal system of our country to handle "gangsters" in our midst. I'm not a member of any gangs or crime organizations; I'm a retired American citizen drawing my social security with Medicare to care for my health.

Crime in our city is one of the lowest in the country.

Oh, so you would not CALL the police to come to your aid or to the aid of a person (child or adult) you witness being abused by gangsters. You think it the police's job to detect that stuff without any help from the public the police are responsible for protecting. Crying or Very sad

How is it that you are able to arrive at conclusions of what other people will do or not do? It must take a special skill; create negative scenarios and attack the person you don't even know - and spell out all the things we won't do. You're sick in the head; get help.

But that is what you said, ican just said it clearly.

You DID say that you had done nothing to help get rid of the gangsters (criminals) in your city, county, state.

If you did call the police to come to the aid of a citizen being victimized by criminals, that would be helping to get rid of the criminals (gangsters) in your area.

So, since you said you have done nothing, the conclusion is inescapeable that you have not or would not call the police if needed.

The unambiguous logical implication of what you posted is that you would do nothing when witnessing someone else being abused by gangsters.

I claim that would make you an accomplice of such a criminal act.

If in fact you would in fact not do nothing in such an instance--as you claimed--then your claim if not quickly corrected would be a fraud.

Do you understand what actually constitutes a double negative?

If you do, then perhaps you should describe what you think is the double negative in what you posted.

I see Ican is still indulging himself in flim-flammery, doublespeak, gobbledegook, disingenousness, selective quotation, and other suchlike Icanisms.
I pray that the scales may be cast from his eyes, and that he may see the light today and sin no more.
Amen.

JERUSALEM - The United States took Israel to task Saturday for a planned expansion of Jewish homes in the portion of Jerusalem that Palestinians claim for the capital of a future state.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said such moves undermine the U.S.-backed peace talks.

Rice, while making what has become nearly a monthly trip to assess the negotiations, said Israeli housing expansions are a recurring problem. In particular, she says she will discuss the latest announcement of 1,300 new homes in east Jerusalem with every Israeli official she sees.

With peace talks under way, Rice said, now is a time to build confidence on both sides. "This is simply not helpful to building confidence," she told reporters before arriving in the Israeli capital.

An aide to moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Saturday that Abbas will insist that Rice pressure Israel to stop the construction. At the same time, an Israeli government spokesman said that Israel was looking forward to "constructive talks" with Rice.

Israel has committed to halt all settlement activity. But the country insists it has the right to build housing for Jews in east Jerusalem because it annexed that sector of the city shortly after capturing it in the 1967 Mideast war.

...

The Palestinian Arabs have to do three things to stop the Israelis from building those homes:
1. Stop serving as accomplices to the Palestinian Arab Gangsters in their midst who are mass murdering Israeli non-murderers;
2. Grant Israel the right to exist as specified by the UN Palestnian Resolution 181;
3. Agree to abide by all the other parts of UN Palestnian Resolution 181.

I have underlined the 3 negatives in this:

Reducing it to 2 negatives::
I'm not the one suggesting that Palestinians (or anybody else for that matter) should not abet the Palestinian gangsters in their midst.

One interpretation of what Cice wrote is:
Everyone should abet the Palestinian gangsters in their midst.

But maybe Cice mis-typed his statement, and meant to write:
No one should abet the Palestinian gangsters in their midst.

It's the double negatives in what Cice actually wrote that makes it appear he thinks persons should abet Palestinian gangsters in their midst. Question

Hamas ceasefire could bring 'new reality' to Gaza
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
Wednesday, 18 June 2008

A ceasefire between Israel and armed factions in Hamas-controlled Gaza will start tomorrow, according to announcements by Hamas and the Egyptian government.

Israel did not confirm an agreement. But the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mark Regev, acknowledged there would be a new "reality" if armed factions ceased their attacks on Israel and showed "movement" on Cpl Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier held hostage for two years.

The predictions of a "calm" starting at 6am tomorrow were repeated after three Israeli air strikes killed at least six gunmen in southern Gaza. The dead men reportedly included members of Army of Islam, a small ultra-militant group that took part in the seizure of Cpl Shalit and which was held responsible for the kidnap last year of the BBC correspondent Alan Johnston.

If sustained, a ceasefire would bring at least a temporary halt to the conflict, in which more than 560 Palestinians and 14 Israelis have been killed in the year since Hamas took control of Gaza by force in June 2007.

It would also mean a successful end to months of Egyptian efforts to broker a ceasefire, which were given new momentum after Hamas and other armed factions dropped their pre-condition that Israel should refrain from military operations in the West Bank.

The Israeli government has also been under internal pressure to bring an end to more than 4,000 rocket and mortar attacks on border communities in Israel over the past 12 months.

The Israeli Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, has reportedly been in favour of giving the ceasefire option a try despite pressure from cabinet hardliners for a full-scale ground operation in Gaza, still being actively prepared by the Israeli military. One of these, Haim Ramon, had been calling for the military to secure "regime change" in Gaza.

According to one unconfirmed account given to Associated Press by Egyptian and Hamas officials, Israel would begin reopening its crossings into Gaza to increase the flow of humanitarian supplies if the ceasefire is maintained for three days.

In a final phase, Israel would consider sanctioning the opening of the Egypt-Gaza crossing at Rafah in parallel talks to those on the release of Cpl Shalit. Hamas has been seeking a large-scale release of Palestinian prisoners in return for the release of the corporal.

Israel-Hamas Gaza truce begins

Quote:

"We in Hamas are committed to this calm and are interested in making it succeed," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said shortly before the truce went into effect. "The ball is now in Israel's court."

"I hope it will succeed. I believe there will be quiet in (Israel's) south," Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in a speech Wednesday to philanthropists. But he also said he instructed his military "to prepare for any operation, short or long, that might be necessary" if the truce breaks down.

Gosh, it ever there was a time for prayers. I wish there was a way to sit on the Palestinian side so that they don't anything more first no matter the provocation. (real or imagined don't really matter anymore. Relieving the suffering does.)
