man and dd, I agree with both of you that muslims have been troublemakers in various parts of the world. I think it has more to do with the education and social upbringing. Most of the muslims in the troubled areas like India or Palestine are poor and receive a good bit of their education from MADrassas usually sponsored by the saudis. These are just breeding grounds for fanaticism. I think there maybe some kind of middle ground between cowering down and kissing the muslims and trying to bomb them to oblivion. How to reach there is something we will have to strive. I used to be a supporter of Israel till the Lebanese War this summer. I think the war exposed the weak underbelly of the Israelis and if they don't reinforce that, it will be their undoing. As an US taxpayer, I don't like my tax dollars going to Israel, as they are a pretty wealthy country. On the other hand, I cringe when I think about my tax dollars going to Egypt where it is probably being spent to feed more anti-US feelings. I just wish we just stop aiding both Israel and these other middle eastern countries.
Ah yes, the tired age old anti-semetism propaganda carried out by zionist foot soldiers like dodo and paper-tradernikike. Hey if speaking out against the evils of Zionism is called anti-semitism, then so be it. Keep on screaming, cause the more you scream the more people will start figuring out what the F**k is really going on. The "Anti-semetism" brush has been used to good effect by those who control american media. But now there are those who are beginning to challenge these zionist cabal. http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-12-19-regan_x.htm?POE=LIFISVA After her lawyer, Bert Fields, said Regan was being libeled and threatened to sue for breach of contract, Murdoch spokesman Andrew Butcher released portions of the lawyer's notes. They quote Regan as saying there's a "Jewish cabal against her," naming executives, editors and agents who are Jewish. Fields said Tuesday that Regan may have mentioned a cabal but denies using the phrase "Jewish cabal." He said she was saying only that "of all people, Jews should understand what it is to be a victim." As for criticism from Abraham Foxman, director of the Anti-Defamation League, that Regan was "giving credence to the conspiracy theory that Jews control the media," Fields said: "He shouldn't be sticking himself in a battle between Judith Regan and HarperCollins." Fields said that HarperCollins was looking for an excuse to fire Regan and "smeared her with a charge of anti-Semitism. ⦠Judith Regan doesn't have an anti-Semitic bone in her body." John Mutter, editor of Shelf Awareness, a newsletter about books, suggested that Regan may set up her own firm "with backing from friends, a few ex-lovers and some hedge funds. "Then I can imagine her publishing a list that would be familiar, with a mix of the salacious and serious," Mutter said, "although now there might be a probing, critical biography of Rupert Murdoch with accompanying film and TV segments." Good 'ol Rupert is at the head of it all. I look forward to the expose'. It will bring americans to their senses as to who the real threat is.
LMAO!! This fucking moron probably doesn't even realize that he put these up in the same post. Too fucking stupid to understand what he has done. Ah well, it's comforting in a way. These illiterate losers taken together will never have the intelligence of one normal Jewish family. To tell the truth, it is not too hard to understand the hatred these losers feel for the Jews. Someone here asked 'Why is it that the Jews have been persecuted?' Reading idiots like bsboy, it is easy to understand. They are like street trash staring at the self-made man arriving in the Bentley. They know that they are inferior. In their heart of hearts they know it. What are they supposed to do, admit it? That wouldn't work. Better to screech and bellow. Screeching and bellowing like animals. As I said... these people are almost a separate species.
strange comments on both sides. "jews" don't drive in bentleys. they go by bike, car or on their feet. they are making their living as anyobody else. some businessmen though drive in bentleys and some of them are ... jews. now do you look ever at a muslim oilBaron or bill gates and warren buffet and say: "ah, the muslims have oil pipelines", "ah, the christians own microsoft and berkshire"? would sound absurd, wouldn't it ... are there many powerful jews? yes. are there many powerful arabs? yes. are there many powerful ... feel free to continue this listing. stereotypes are a very useful tool to come to a very quick opinion about a situation. but they suck enormously when it comes to judgement of real complex situations. talking about jews and bentleys and middle east policy misses the point. "the" jews down there ARE not like that. they want to go to work, put food on their families (could not help this one ...) and live easily without fear. in the gas chambers what would you think was the percentage of bentley drivers (or the then-equivalent)?
rupert murdoch is doing wring, because he does ... nelson rockefeller the last does wrong, because ... mullah whatever ... you see my point? put the blame where it belongs. don't build collateral damage just for fun. and words do have power and thus can produce damage.
Not sure if this was meant for me but I never suggested that 'Jews drive Bentleys'. I was simply making the point that people like bsmeter, losers in the game of life, men who lost because they didn't have the strength of character to capitalize on their opportunites, are like the masses who see a rich man, or an accomplished man, or a man with obvious character, and hate him for his success, either financially, professionally or academically. That was my only point. None of the (very wealthy) Jews I know (and I know a bunch of them) drive anything nicer than a Lexus or a 911 in a couple of cases. They have kids so they tend to drive SUVs and minivans. They do, however, own nice homes.
excuse me. i don't think that there is any room for misinterpretation here. you implicitly say that "jews" are doing better in terms of income. and, further begging your pardon, your quote on your rich friends not driving anything better than the most expensive toyota or a porsche sounds as if was conversing with paris hilton. we are talking about two completely different things here, i am afraid. and in my eyes you're as much prejudicing as the one bashing the jews, you just glorify them on account of extraordinary success of a few. same trap.
and furthermore i am afraid that most jews, as most other human beings, qualify for that category of yours. almost everyone is a "loser in the game of life", according to what seems to be your standards.
OK so the penny hasnât quite dropped in some quarters. Lets put it another way they probably werenât persecuted for their GENEROSITY. Great wealth gives the illusion of power but in fact all through history it has created the envy and greed of their not so nice neighbours and been their downfall. Unfair â yes of course but a fact. It wasnât just the Templars who were murdered for their wealth e.g. the sacking of the great cities of many civilisations like Athens, Carthage, Troy, Rome, etc. even Solomanâs treasure in Jerusalem must have been part of the attraction. Their wealth was an integral part of their disaster. Will the new wall around Jerusalem solve their probems - no chance ! An obvious lesson of history â but one yet to be learned. The CEO of Goldman Sachs is being paid $53 million for his efforts this year. Does that bring a warm feeling to those struggling to survive ? Will a few crumbs drop off the great manâs table for the poor ? Will he agree tostruggle along on $1 million and donate the rest ? We shall see
