Quote by: Tashah  First of all, no one has discerned the date of those pics to my satisfaction. Secondly, everyone so far assumes that they were used in warfare. They could just as easily have been used for practice rounds. |
Seriously? And people complain about me being some straw man..... if they were practice rounds, then what's the logic in getting your children to sign them or write on them in the first place? Why would anybody want to oput their kids that close to shells anyways and treat them as a peice of paper? Hell even I grew up around weapons and equipment from the wars past, and I wasn't taught to treat those things like that..... keep trying to justify it, it doesn't matter if it was Israel or Floida.... It's not the best thing for children.....

I agree with this philosophy. What troubles me though, is that you make no mention here of Palestine TV's Mickey Mouse. Are you familiar with that? Shall I bring you up to speed?
|
No, I am currently not aware of that Micky.... although I hated Walt Disney characters and cartoons for as long as I remember, whatever evil thing you may bring up probably won't surprise me..... but by all means go ahead.
But I believe they are actually bringing that station here to Canada, cuz I just saw that on the news just last night actually. I'll be able to see it first hand, perhaps.

They may be legit, but look at the dates! Jeesh. Doesn't he have anything a bit more current? Take for instance a snippet from Ehud Olmert's June 6, 2007 interview with The Guardian....
|
True, they are out dated, but are there any signs that things have changed since then? (Not ment as a challenge, just a ligit question.)
That does appear more positive with working with the Palitines..... however.... it seems to be a big contrast from those previous dates and quotes..... what would be the logical reason for such a contrast? Realizing that unless they negotiate with others they will continue to bomb and rocket their civilians, and vice versa? *shrugs*
However, talk is one thing, action is another.... and although I believe both the quotes above and the quotes in post one..... but they are not what swayed my decision and opinion on the racial effect on Israel..... it is mainly their own actions and how they interact with those around them...
There is even traits of racism in the US, just by observing the last 6 years.... albiet not specific towards a race, but more towards an entire religious culture.... but that's another topic.

Like Arabs, Israelis are also Semites. Therefore, charges of racism are absurd. Racism? I've got hundreds of digital pictures of Israelis. Skin tones range from lilly white to dark mahogany. What exactly are you refering to when you say racist? It doesn't seem to be genetics.
|
They are closed off towards pretty much almost all the other countries around them and abroad.... it's beyond racism, they're isolated in a way.... and it's their own paranoia and fears of those other countries destroying them that fuels this..... I'm not blaming them, because perhaps I would be the same way..... but that doesn't excuse it.

None of those quotes are from Israelis in the current government. Why do you paint all Israelis with such a broad brush? Could it be due to your own racism? Personally, I find this sort of innuendo offensive in the extremis.

I'm not racist, I'm basing my opinions of the entire country by their own actions in history, much like I base my judgements on any other country and what their citizens permit their leaders to do..... hint hint.
