nothing is more antisemitic than zionism

on this subject there is only ONE line of division: those who stand for the equality of ALL...and those who believe in the supremacy of some

the israeli govt & its supporters stand for the supremacy of some (and they try to demonize any opposition to try to excuse it)

[PrInCeSsuk8]

there are many good jewish people out there but zionist jews are currupted they dont follow the true talmud comandments

[jove04]

Jews think the whole world is their enemy. Therefore, they are always in revenge mentality mode stemming from a deep inferiority complex.

Solution: Give back peacefully to the weak what is not yours and have a peace of mind. You then live selectively in Israel, Palestine or any where in the world.

Zionist=Deep Racism=Evil ideology.

..."I will never forgive the arabs for forcing us to kill them" (Golda Meir)...

Only a HEINOUS mass-killer-mind can say this...and this CREATURE was the first PM of the zionist state...OMG!!!!

[hillels]

Joel, if you're checking this site, rest assured that your misquotations and prevarications have brought the real Jew haters out of the closet.

Incidentally, here's the actual Golda Meir quote:

"We can forgive you for killing our sons. But we will never forgive you for making us kill yours." Spoken in Jerusalem to Anwar Sadat in 1977. (somehow you can't find the attribution - surprise, surprise.)

[BattleAngel]

no. even within the context you present the qoute still seems absurd and murderous. however i do partially agree with you. joel's indictement of the israeli population's misdeeds leaves a door for racists to come in and spread their hate. but the fault lies in the misdeeds of israeli population, not joel. Hiding Israeli crimes from the world or pretending they are not there only makes the door wider for those wretched jew haters. yet we all have to face the full truth despite the risks.

[hillels]

Please list and document the "Israeli population's misdeeds". (and while you're at it, why don't you do the same for Palestinian Arabs.

"A state is an instrument of force", excactly!

[jhhj85]

"i will never forgive the arabs for forcing us to kill them" i cant believe that these people who call them jews do have a god.

You really don't grasp what he's saying, as he points out the positives and negatives of a guilt-centered culture, as opposed to the positives and negatives of shame based culture (like Christianity).

[jhhj85]

your god is the money.

your culture is self-interest.

[fairalways]

I'm a Spinozaist: if there is god, the unity of the universe is its representative, not something earth-bound or man-like. Money is just Evolution's adaptation. My culture is evolving as well, but largely New York Jewish/Latin influenced. Your bland, blanket, predictable Communist point of view carried from the other threads is the muffled rage of a young, single man grasping desperately at bigotry to avoid crisis.

...They don't, it's only a projection of their EGOCENTRIC system of myths and beliefs...the "I AM", the ego, is the real force behind...
