I've got to laugh all these people around this world "praying" to their god-gods ? WHY ? when it has never changed anything ! they still live in misery ! as the world becomes more deadlier with more evil building more weapons to kill eachother WHY pray when it does absolutely nothing !!! or does it really mean there is no god-gods... If there were a god-gods you wouldn't have to pray our world would be a paradise for everyone...!!!

I'm an Arab , and FU** Palestinians FU** Israelis all of them should be treated like shi* OMG they give the world a big headache and Fuc* anti-Semite thing , back 2 history Both of them Jews and Arabs r sons of ABRAM so we shouldn't lie to each other

[abbienetvision]

Aww the poor suffering palis.

Just wait, they will suffer a lot more now, without being in construction. Now that Israel has decided to stop, as they wanted, now watch them cry that there is no work.

"abbienetvision (23 hours ago)

psycho,

so was the world reaction to the Nazis also disproportionate? Seems you must believe so, or are you just using this against Israel, as an anti-Semite?"

Yeah, Abbie. You're a real bastion of truth.

[abbienetvision]

psycho,

Trying to give my words a different meaning?

I was just comparing the deaths from WWII to deaths in Gaza, showing that disproportion is a stupid defense. War is war and civilians get killed, especially when their leaders put them in the line of fire, hide behind them, and use them as shields.

Rather than get the analogy, you are deft and choose to take it out of context, in order to change the facts.

Just stop writing me..or even better, I will refuse to respond, no problem!

[psychospores]

Abbie, you should look up the definition of the word deft and then ask yourself if that is really what you were trying to call me.

[abbienetvision]

I noticed the rocket attack from Hamas is not on this news report. Why?

[psychospores]

I followed your link and read the report. I would be lying if I said I don't see your point. The ratio of combatants to non-combatants is quite damning to the Palestinians if viewed only as a statistic. I do think that the IDF tries to skew those numbers as much as possible to protect their image (who wouldn't?) and sometimes combatants are only protecting their home. I'm not saying they're all innocent. Also, that report was last updated in May 2003. Six years have gone by since then.

[abbienetvision]

psycho,

In those six years, Israel was bombarded by rockets, aimed at civilians. Israel did not want to go into Gaza, at all; in fact begged Hamas and its people to stop the rocket fire.

I don't know what else Israel could have done, when our children and women are the targets. Israel has no terrorist training bases and our text books do not say to kill others.

The reports, by the human rights groups, are made to make Israel look like the oppressor.

Gaza pullout was for peace, not terror.

[psychospores]

Actually, that report does make some good points. I will think about it more.

[abbienetvision]

psycho,

Thanks for at least seeing the other side, I appreciate it.

[psychospores]

And if you want a link to back up the numbers I gave you, go to my profile and take it out of the comments. It is waiting there. These stupid comment boxes don't seem to want to post my links.

[psychospores]

And since you have blocked me, I have no way of telling your this letter is here. You really are a coward.

[psychospores]

Why would I ever believe anything you tell me when I have seen firsthand how intentionally blind you are? Why would I soften my opinions on Israel based on the example you provide? You exhibit the worst qualities of Israeli culture. You are a horrible citizen and your endless Bull Shit only makes your people look worse. If you want to help your country, Shut Up. You and your mentality are a roadblock to the advancement of humanity.

[psychospores]

Stop calling people anti-Semites just because they disagree with you. And stop bringing up the Nazis too. If you continue to abuse these emotional stimuli, as too many people already do, they will lose all effect.  You say that you want to fight propaganda, and yet rhetoric seems to be the only language you are able to understand. Or write.

[abbienetvision]

psycho,

I brought up Nazis? I don't think so.

I am only trying to present real facts, without the distortions in the media.

I, have not ever written anything but truth, and all the name calling is not helping me to want to discuss anything with you.

If that is what you want, then so be it..I have lots of other things to do with my time.

[psychospores]

You said 23 hours ago in one comment that I am an anti-semite and you brought the Nazis up. It is still at the top of the comment section on Mosaic News 11/19/09.

[psychospores]

Are there two of you in there?

[psychospores]

You completely avoid answering questions that would force you to acknowledge your intolerance or the flaws in your pathetically skewed reasoning. You claim that you want truth, but you are unwilling to admit that the truth might be something you do not know, and it might run counter to your fiercely held beliefs. You don't want truth, you want validation, and when you don't get it you frantically blame others instead of turning inward for some much needed introspection.

[psychospores]

What is worse, you seem proud of your ethnocentrism and xenophobia, without understanding that those sentiments are no longer acceptable in this world. When people respond negatively to you (as they should), instead of trying to hear their point of view, you paint them in whatever color best suits you; then you stick feathers to the paint before it dries. All that proves is that you are a relentless antagonist. Maybe you really did work for the Israeli government.

[psychospores]

An open letter to Abbienetvision,

You have made a number of claims about your accomplishments in life: a degree in interntl. business, a teacher, a writer, used to work for Peres ... and yet I see no evidence of even a shard of intellectualism. I hope that English is not your first language because if it is, your grammatical errors and flawed sentence structure are inexcusable. I see no evidence of a passion for writing or language.
