Ben Shapiro: Palestinians are ‘rotten to the core.’

Right-wing pundit Ben Shapiro, who recently wrote a book riddled with “numerous factual errors, misquotations and misrepresentations of people’s views,” today writes a Townhall.com article that concludes there is a “radical evil” within every member of the Palestinian population:

The problem runs deeper than a few figureheads. The Palestinian Arab population is rotten to the core. There are many to be blamed: Yasser Arafat, who lined his pockets with cash and subsidized murder while playing the victim of oppression. [...]

But in the end, the blame must lie with the Palestinian Arabs themselves. They have accepted their role with relish. They are as responsible for their government’s longstanding evil as the Germans were for the Nazis’.

    But what about the Belgians?

    We have alot in common with the Palestinians.

    We elected and tolerated a devious, incompetent, destructive government. So did they.

  7. david says:

    Well, the land was called Palestine in 1947. And the League of Nations gave Britain the Mandate to rule it and give out land to new immigrants without consulting the people of Palestine. And the United Nations, the League’s successor, proposed a partition of it without consulting the people of Palestine. Israeli historians such as Benny Morris have confirmed that much of the legends of the Israeli War of Independence are indeed myths. Israel knew it could not keep the West Bank & Gaza after 1967 and yet they began building settlements all over the occupied territories.

    What is so bizarre and preposterous about Ben Shapiro’s statements is that, if you substituted “Jews” for “Palestinians”, everyone would agree that the statements were anti-semitic and hate speech. It’s that horrific mix of truth, half-truth and lie that leads to bigotry and racism. And there that denial at the heart of the question that the Palestinians have been wronged and have a right to be angry and, yes, aggressive.

    Yitzak Rabin, a man I greatly admired, was not interested in a secular Israel, but there cannot be a Jewish Israel without a Two State solution. There is no question that the West Bank & Gaza are nation-sized concentration camps or Bantustans. The Palestinians have no rights under the current system. And the West shamelessly promoted the idea of Democracy and then promptly rejected the choice of the Palestinian people. It’s a red herring to say that Hamas can’t be negotiated with; history has shown that enemies who have said even worse things have agreed to compromise and change.

    The idea of Shapiro that Palestinians are less than human is merely his excuse for denying them fundamental human rights. It’s the Establishment’s way of defending the indefensible and putting off the day of judgement. Israel cannot pretend to be the Angel to the Palestinian Devil. What we have are two neighbour’s fighting over where to put a fence and one has a good lawyer and a friend at City Hall, but that doesn’t negate the rights of the other. Shapiro is actually undermining Israel’s right to exist because the only alternative to the Two State solution is a One State solution– and that would be a secular state without an established religion; it would be neither Jewish nor Muslim.

    Thios post proves that this website is run by Iranian interests.
    Honestly do you think the avaerage American cares about these savages?
    NO!
    I want you brainwashed Dhimmis to explain that this site isn’t run by Muslims agents?


  10. LandSurveyor says:

    I agree. Although I don’t like other people telling me what evil is.

    Try not to equate Bush and Hamas. They are very different. All the Palestininians had to do was play the game, but clearly the game was too complex for them. They don’t deserve ANYTHING.


  11. RealityCheck says:

    I wonder what praise Ben would heap on those who poisoned the wells of Palestinians to drive them out of their villages so they could steal their land and even took their shoes before they drove them into the desert…

    Islamic terrorism is a symptom of our chronic aquiesence in the dehumanisation of an entire people for generations for the sake of what? – Colonialism, imperialism, greed, and pure selfishness that transcends all religions, nations, and political parties.


  12. LandSurveyor says:

    Islamic terrorism is a direct result of Islamic terrorism.
    If Uncle Sam comes to take your land away to build a highway you have one course of action: Public opinion. You don’t blow up civilians.


  13. The Joker says:

    “Islamic terrorism is a symptom of our chronic aquiesence in the dehumanisation of an entire people for generations for the sake of what? – Colonialism, imperialism, greed, and pure selfishness that transcends all religions, nations, and political parties.”

    So can you explain the Jiah of the 7th Century?
    Islam has always been an agressive ideology.
    One based on War, Conquest and genocide.
    How much money are the Iranians paying you?
    Either that or you’re a good Dhimmi brainwashed by our Muslims run media.

    Hey explain the Jiahd in Thailand?
    I hear crickets.


  14. Tweedster says:

    LandSurveyor

    What did they do to deserve having their land stolen from them in the first place?


  15. The Joker says:

    LandSurveyor,
    Don’t bother with insanity check.
    He’s an agent of our Muslim overlords running this nation.
    This site is nothing more than Pro-Islamic propganda.
    When’s the last time Muslim’s have been critcized on this site?
    Hmm?
    Never.
    One of the posters Faiz is an Iranian intelligence asset.
    Jay Randal is also an Iranian agent.
    That’s the facts I’m here to expose!


  16. Tweedster says:

    Islamic terrorism is a direct result of Islamic terrorism

    No concept of causality. So Islamic terrorism took the form of the UN mandating the handover of of a sovereign nation to immigrants?


  17. LandSurveyor says:

    The Joker I get your point but Muslims have not always been violent. Contrary they have been historically religiously tolerant and modern, even in now Israel.


  18. The Joker says:

    Tweedster,
    The Romans kicked the Jews out.
    The Muslims kicked the Romans out.
    No the Jews are back.
    It’s historical justice.
    Hey how about the Chinese occupation of Tibet?
    How about a homeland for the Kurds?
    Why don’t you Leftists ever discuss that?


  19. Tweedster says:

    The Joker

    Making Steve Miller look stupid, over and over…


  20. The Joker says:

    LandSurveyor,
    Muslims have always been violent.
    In the 7th Century they launched genocidal wars against the Romans, persians and Spaniards.
    They also launched wars of agression against Hindu Indians.
    They calle non Muslims Dhimmi and make them pay Jiyaza a special tax.
    Dhimmis were 2nd class citizens and in a court a law a Muslim’s word was worth more than theirs.
    Dhimmis also had to symbols on their sleves that distinquished them from Muslims.
    Read some Non Muslim influenced history.


  21. The Joker says:

    Tweedster,
    Name calling can’t discuss facts.
    Sorry to shatter your Pro-Islamic worldview.


  22. Rick says:

    So, his final solution to the Palestinian question is what, systematic extermination?

    “Rotten to the core”, you mean like those damn Catholics in Northern Ireland?
    At least that’s what a few British commentators thought not too long ago.


  23. kindness says:

    Speaking of Nazis….when are the reichtwingers going to accept the blame of trying to take the US down Hilter’s memory lane?


  24. Wilco says:

    Land, it’s best to ignore Joker. He’s a bigot. He wants all Muslims rounded up and kicked out of the country because they’re all evil.


  25. The Joker says:

    Rick,
    Whay about the Tibetans?
    Why are the Muslim “Palestinians” so special?


  26. Tweedster says:

    Sorry to shatter your Pro-Islamic worldview.

    Care to explain?


  27. The Joker says:

    “when are the reichtwingers going to accept the blame of trying to take the US down Hilter’s memory lane?”

    Ha ha ah.
    Name calling.
    When will you realize that Bush is an Al-Qaeda puppet?
    You’re falling into the Muslims divide tactics.
    You belive your Dhimmicrat party is speacial.
    They’re Iranian traitors.
    Both are Parties are controlled by Muslims!


  28. The Joker says:

    Tweedster,
    Instead of discussing the points I bring up, you name call.
    That means youn hhave no response because I shatterd your worldview.
    The Muslims control America and yopu’re blinded by your support of them to see this!


  29. The Joker says:

    Wilco,
    I’m anti-Muslims because they control this country.
    It’s dangerous when 2 Nations Iran and Saudi Arabia control us.
    We should be a free and Independent nation.
    Instead the Msulims control our governmant and Media!
    It’s not right and as a patriot I hate it!


  30. Briseadh na Faire says:

    are as responsible for their government’s longstanding evil as the Germans were for the Nazis’: as the Americans are for the Bush Administration and the NeoCons.


  31. Rick says:

    “What about the Tibetans?
    Why are the Muslim “Palestinians” so special?”

    Because I asked about the Muslim “Palestinians”;
    this is a thread about the Muslim “Palestinians”;
    the Tibetans are not part of the discussion.

    But if you want to know, I do strongly believe that Tibet is being brutally suppressed by China, and I also think that our government (yes, including the last administration) cowtows to Bejing far too much, especially when it comes to Tibet and especially to Taiwan.

    Getting back to the topic at hand, I still want to know what Shapiro thinks should happen to the Palestinians.


  32. Tweedster says:

    Wilco,

    The Joker is just very frightened. It needs easy, knee-jerk, simplistic ways to categorize things it does not understand.

    It will cite, through history, the violence of the Muslims. Muslims had little, if anything, to do with the genocide of the Americas, but that’s insignificant.


  33. LandSurveyor says:

    My view of Islam comes DIRECTLY from Anthony Quinn’s role in Lawrence of Arabia.
    And the fate of all the pro-Hamas libs on this site is the same of poor old Arab Larry, just a forgotten face in the crowd.


  34. Sharon says:

    Thank You BnF for the one good post of the morning..Gonna bail today, all thread’s way to polluted for me to bother…Blessings for all you do..


  35. david says:

    The Joker, perhaps you should read some non-racist history. The Jews enjoyed their Golden Age under Muslim rule. Sure, there was a tax to be paid for being a non-Muslim, but then you were free to worship. At the same time Christian Europe would force conversion on Jews, massacre them on trumped up charges of ritual murder, or simply expell them. How civilized the West is!

    I don’t understand LandSurveyor’s mystical power of Public Opinion. Did Public Opinion defeat Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini? NO. Did Public Opinon stop the genocide of America’s First Nations? NO. Did Public Opinion prevent the internment of Japanese Americans in 1942? NO. Public Opinion won’t stop helicopter gunships or F-16 fighters or torture in Gitmo. And Public Opinion is fickle. Justice Scalia would have us all believe that Jack Bauer is real and that torture & murder can save lives and make the world safe for Democracy & Freedom.

    America: It hates the World when it enjoys Freedoms that aren’t profitable to Americans. Ask Salvador Allende.


  36. Tweedster says:

    It isn’t name-calling to express sympathy over the fact a great song title has been hi-jacked by someone who seriously believes Muslims control our government.

    Why would they have attacked us on 9-11 if this were the case? Regale us with more conspiracy tales!


  37. The Joker says:

    Tweedster ,
    “Muslims had little, if anything, to do with the genocide of the Americas, but that’s insignificant.”

    But they commited genocide against the Romans and Greeks in the 7th cenury and against the Hindu Indians in the 10th century.
    Are those genocides insignificant?


  38. Zep Tepi says:

    Joker you talk alot about history.

    The Church of the Sepulchre resides in Old Jerusalem in Palestine. The Jebusites. It is said to also contain the place where Jesus was buried (sepulchre)

    George Soros funds thinkprogress Joker, He is not a muslim, but a blue eyed blonde haired person of Jewish ideology.


  39. Tweedster says:

    And Joker, I did discuss your “points”

    Explain how Iran and Saudi Arabia control us? Does it have anything to do with oil? DO you have a solution that doesn’t involve “making martyrs” and creating more jihadists than there already are?


  40. Eric says:

    Arab leadership is similar to the so-called Black leaders in America. They hijack the leadership role by force, with no democratic process, then claim to represent the people. They abuse their position and line their pockets with money and keep the conflict going so they remain valid.

    I’ve lived in Israel and know many Palestinians. They are good people as are the Israelis. Unfortunately, you have a larger part of the Palestinian population that is uneducated and train their children to be racist to the core. They are growing up on third-generation hate. There are hate-groups amongst the Israelis but they are much smaller and largely ignored by the people similarly to how we do here in America.

    What Ben has said is very accurate. The people are responsible for the evil that their leaders continue to perform. I saw first-hand the propaganda that the Palestinian people believe. They love what the Nazi’s did to the Jews and they use Nazi propaganda from WWII written in Arabic. Iran’s Ahmadinejad held an international conference disputing the Holocaust ever occured. Almost every Palestinian believes (as do some on this site) that 9/11 was allowed to happen by a Jewish conspiracy to start a war against Islam. They believe without question that the Jews were told to stay home on 9/11 and that none were killed.

    You can’t negotiate peace with someone who wants to destroy you. The moderate element in Palestine is always diminished by the more radical fringes. It’s truly sad because the people deserve better. Had the moderate elements been able to control the process, the Palestinians would have had a homeland in the 70’s.


  41. The Joker says:

    “Why would they have attacked us on 9-11 if this were the case? Regale us with more conspiracy tales!”

    They attacked on us on 9/11 because their agents Bush and Cheney were in power and using a pre-planned inavsion of the Middle East.
    The goal was to weaken America Militarily and our Morale and prepare us for the Islamic takeover.
    The also control the media.
    The Democrats are run by Iranian interests.
    Hence that’s why the Media attacks Bush.
    He’s on the Sunni side.
    They’re on the Shia side.
    Right now america is a battleground for a Proxy war between the Saudis and Iranians.


  42. Tweedster says:

    But they commited genocide against the Romans and Greeks in the 7th cenury and against the Hindu Indians in the 10th century.
    Are those genocides insignificant?

    You could cherry pick as much as you want – basically every empire, and nation-state through history has committed and been victim of wars of aggression and ethnic cleansing. The Vikings raped and pillaged and killed all along Northern Europe – Evil Swedes!


  43. OxyCon says:

    I was born in 1962, and I have some German bloodlines, so according to Shapiro, I was responsible for the Nazis.


  44. Tweedster says:

    Amazing. Thanks for the heads up.

    Could it be you give them too much credit? What secret sources do you have to support this other than Keith Ellison?

    Comment by The Joker.

    If it were genocide there would be no Roman Catholics today nor any Greeks. Would you stop with this ludicrous Muslims rule America stuff? And stop blaming those of today for what none of us had anything to do with in the past? I never owned a slave, nor did any of my relatives that I know of. Yet to listen to some people slavery is my fault and I should be forever reminded of it. GET OVER IT. America had nothing to do with Hitler and should not be held accountable for the Jewish Holocaust. We are not responsible for Stalin and his Christian Holocaust either. I am not a Greco-Roman and I am not a muslim, quit trying to pin an insane past on a young America with no such history.

    God, I wish would stop repeating history over and over and over. Always with this idiotic revenge talk.

    Its insane. Its more than insane.

  49. NoOneYouKnow says:

    Speaking as a “jewboy,” Shapiro’s a hateful bigot. His views aren’t those of a majority of Israeli or American Jews. That said, there’s been plenty of murderous Arab Jew-hating over the centuries; check up on the Mufti of Jerusalem and his good friend Hitler if you don’t believe me. The Palestinians, inasmuch as they can be lumped together, are in my opinion screw-ups who are obsessed with their victimhood as a way of avoiding the confronting the realities of their social, cultural, and political problems.

    “DO you have a solution that doesn’t involve “making martyrs” and creating more jihadists than there already are?”

    Why do you care about those barbarians?
    Are you a Muslim agent or Dhimmi sympathizer?
    They had Martyrs and Jihadists since the 7th Century.

    My solution:
    Complete American withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.
    While we leave we pummel and destroy there cities and sack and loot them Mongol style.
    User Nuclear energy like France.
    Switch over to Ethanol and other Bio fuels.
    Seize Islamic assets in America.
    Ban Immigration from Muslim countries.
    Ban the Republican and Democratic parties.
    Put on Trial the leaders of the Democrats and Republicans who collaborated with Iran and Saudi Arabia.
    Deport Muslims to Saudi Arabia.
    Legalize the Mexicans and Central Americans here.
    Purge the media of Muslim sympathizers.
    Withdraw from NATO, UN, World Bank and IMF.
    Put a 30% Tarif on Imported goods.
    Tax Companies for every job outsoursed.
    Raise the Minimum wage to $35,000 dollars a year.
    Raise taxes on those who make $200,000 to 45%.
    Provide Universal healthcare through breaking up the Health Monoplies and some Government assistance to the Poor and lower Middle class.

    The Republic of Stupidity,

    No one said the Us was innocent, but the Muslims sure aint either.
    In fact all civilizations have done that.
    It’s just yopu Dhimmis belive the Muslims are victims propaganda our Muslims run Media portrays!
    If you hate America than leave.
    Go to UIran or saudi arabia.
    I say deport ingrates like you and legalize the Mexicans!


  54. Tweedster says:

    Sorry about that dig Joker, but you were the one painting everyone with the Muslim sympathizer brush and by extension tying us into your theory of Muslim control of our government – akin to charging us with treason – which is more egregious than any name-calling I’ve engaged in.

    As for your solution…how do you propose to even begin such a comprehensive plan?


  55. dantheman says:

    JOKER,

    You’re a clown. The muslims have definitely had a history of violence. The Romans also have a well documented history of violence, as do the Spanish, the French, the English even wiped out an entire race, the jews have much blood on their hands, the U.S. has claimed millions of souls expanding it’s empire. The greek were some of the first in history to go about conquering and killing other poeples. Hindus don’t even respect the lowest members of their caste system or grant them any rights.

    You make a weak case. You are the poster child for consevative ignarance. Man as a species is inherently violent. Historically, Arabs have been no more violent than any other race or culture who has wielded significant power.

    Get a life. Better yet, get educated, What a joke!


  56. The Joker says:

    Tweedster,
    I’m still here.
    You’re just mad I’ve exposed the Pro-Muslims bias of thsi website.
    hey how come when Ahmadinejad called for genocide against Israel there was no thread here?


  57. NoOneYouKnow says:

    A big “That’s right!” to #41. His calling out Palestinian Jew-hating is right on (and the same happens in virtually all Muslim countries — if you saw the stuff they put in their schoolbooks and newspapers your hair would catch fire); it’s a part of their eternal victimhood role.
    Now, if people are responsible for their evil leaders, let’s check the mote in our eyes before the log in our brother’s — what to do about Bushco?


  58. AngryOne says:

    That wheezing sound Shapiro should have heard last week amid the chaos in Gaza, the carnage in Baghdad and the conflict in Lebanon was the final gasps of the Bush Doctrine in its death throes. Just two years after the President and his neo-conservative allies basked in the glow of their self-proclaimed moment of triumph, the Bush Doctrine of no safe havens for terrorists, American preventive war and democracy promotion is discredited, discarded – and dead.

    For the details, see:
    “The Death of the Bush Doctrine.”


  59. The Joker says:

    Zep Tepi,
    “If it were genocide there would be no Roman Catholics today nor any Greeks.”

    There was once a large Greek speaking population in Israel, Syria, Egypt and Anatolia.
    There was once large Latin speaking populations in Noth Africa.
    The Muslims commited genocide and killed them.
    The Greek nation is a remnanat of it’s once great size.
    The Roman Catholics are because the French stopped the Muslims at Potiers in 732 and the Spaniards fought a 700 year war of liberation against the Islamic masters.
    If Muslims don’t run america why are they portrated favorably in the media and given speacial priveledges?


  60. Tweedster says:

    hey how come when Ahmadinejad called for genocide against Israel there was no thread here?

    This site, for the most part, deals with domestic issues. America wasn’t involved in the Israel genocide spiel Ahmadinejad had. Also, he isn’t the real mover in Iran’s government and generally spouts propaganda.


  61. NoOneYouKnow says:

    Leaving aside his insane anti-Muslim ranting, I like a lot of the Joker’s plans for the country. Where does this word “Dhimmi” come from?

    Have any of you radical Islamic apologists asked yourselves, “Geeee….I wonder why fabulously nouveau riche Arabs and Iranian have done little or nothing to help their Palestinian Arab brothers and sisters? Hmmmm…..I wonder how Yasser Arafat and his haute couture widow amassed billions in a French bank in such a short period of time?? Could it be that radical Islamists aren’t interested at all in helping poor, downtrodden Palestinians, but maintaining their plight to fuel hatred of the Jews?” ”

    Well, I have a solution that should satisfy all you UN lovers. Europe allowed European Jewry to face mass extermination on an unimagineable scale – since Germany, Austria, France, etc. were complicit in the Holocaust, lets relocate ALL Palestinians to the European country of their choice.

    Wasn’t that easy?


  66. The Joker says:

    dantheman,
    I never said no others have commited genocide.
    That’s not my point.
    I was just giving context to that fact Muslims aren’t victims. If they’re getting kicked out of Palestine, so what!
    It’s a historical cycle.
    Maybe in 300 years a Latin super power will remove the Jews again.
    It just a natural progression.
    That’s my point.
    I know History.
    You’re a brainwashed leftard.
    Bye the way I’m not a Conservative.

    Then why are we not a theocratic state? Why are we at war in Iraq? What about the talk of war with Iran? Not very ‘Muslim’ of us now is it? The fact is Joker the military industrial complex is NOT run by Muslims. AIPAC is not a Muslim lobbyist group. The oil business is not owned by Muslims. Texas oilmen are not Muslims.

    And this concludes my posts to Joker. Your not worth the effort.

    Oh, and Venus, morning and evening star, guess what?

    Eusebius describes in his Life of Constantine [1] how the site of the Holy Sepulchre, originally a site of veneration for the Christian community in Jerusalem, had been covered with earth, upon which a temple of Venus had been built.

    Tweedster: So with your logic, we should have not fought the Nazi’s in WWII because that would have made them want to destroy us more? Trying to follow your logic, maybe you can help me out?


  71. The Joker says:

    Zep Tepi ,
    “Then why are we not a theocratic state?”
    There are attaempts to establish Sahria law in Michigan and Minnesota. That’s the 1st step.

    “Why are we at war in Iraq? ”
    It’s to weaken us Militarily and demoralize the nation.
    That will facilitate an Islamic takeover.
    Look at the great Media coverage Al-Qaeda in Iraq is recieving.

    “What about the talk of war with Iran?”
    It’s being organize by the saudi elements in the Republican party.
    Again an attack on Iran helps them take over.
    However it’s not going to happen.
    The Iranians control the Democrats and have a great PR campaign in the media.
    Ahmadinejad recives the most favorable coverage of any global leader.
    Iran is very influential and the Democrats will never allow their masters to be attacked.

    “”The fact is Joker the military industrial complex is NOT run by Muslims. ”
    There is no Military complex. If it were so we would’ve won.
    We barely equip our army and we have almost no Industrial production.

    It’s a saudi front group pretending to be Pro-Israel.
    It’s goal is to get Anti-Semitism feeling high in AMerivca hence making Muslims look favorable.

    Valiant, who are the apologists for RADICAL Muslims here? Nobody here has advocated suicide bombings or other violence in conjunction with this issue. You yourself advocate violence as a solution to many problems, a radical view to be sure.

    I wonder why fabulously nouveau riche Arabs and Iranian have done little or nothing to help their Palestinian Arab brothers and sisters?

    Because they are just like the fabulously nouveau riche of America. Greedy.


  73. Prof. Mark Colby says:

    David,

    I agree with both of your well-reasoned posts today. I may have my doubts about your understanding of science, but not about history and politics; your posts on these subjects are always informative. Too many Americans have trouble with certain ideas: (1) that a knowledge of history is necessary for the formation of reasonable political beliefs, (2) that Americans are just as morally responsible for the actions of their government as German citizens were in the 1930s (if not more so), and (3) that no nation (in the correct sense of “nation,” a collection of human beings on the basis of a single characteristic, whether it be religion, sex, ethnicity, language, political beliefs, or hobbies) is immune to evil.

    Before that there was a Jewish synagouge there.

    Thios post proves that this website is run by Iranian interests.
    Honestly do you think the avaerage American cares about these savages?
    NO!
    I want you brainwashed Dhimmis to explain that this site isn’t run by Muslims agents?

    Right, Shapiro. The evil is in the hearts of the Jews. Where’s a pogrom when we need it?


  77. Tweedster says:

    Eric,

    I’m not sure the Israel/Palestine conflict has reached WWII levels, so the context is completely different. The Nazis were not a displaced people (although Hitler tried to convince people otherwise), so the context is completely different. The Palestinians haven’t invaded another country, nor have they developed a systemic approach to destroy Israelis, so the context is completely different.

    It wasn’t a well-formulated post you picked out, but don’t be so far reaching trying to make a point. Are you making a point?


  78. Tweedster says:

    Meaning that this Muslim takeover is an inevitable part of a cycle, right?

    The point is you have been brainwashed into this Conservative vs. Liberal BS that our Muslim masters have exploitated.

    Hey you do seem a bit open minded.

    I just want to wake people up and free this country!

    1) Roman Catholics out of Europe would have been bad why? Not that it would have been possible.
    2) The french are no longer surrender monkeys if they protect Roman Catholics from wild Islamic barbarians?
    3) “War of liberation” indeed. Wouldn’t that be “War of Conquest”? “We have

    I was NOT aware Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson were conservatives – thank you for clearing up such a misunderstanding!!

    Back on thread - It’s interesting to note so many of our “separation between church and state” clans go out of their way to ensure Muslims have ample public opportunity to practice their religion, but make sure Christians and Jews limit their religious practices to home and houses of worship. Hmmmm…….


  90. The Joker says:

    How exactly does Ahmadinejad know that he screwed up by denying the Holocaust?

    Comment by El Tonno — June 20, 2007 @ 12:36 pm

    Because ever since denying the holocaust he has decided a more measured tactic is in order but it’s too late. Only irrelevant quacks deny the holocaust. He’s a game player and he’s been taunting the United States. When Bush called Iran “Axis of evil” the world looked at Bush like he was crazy. But Iran has gone and behaved like this when they should have been cooperating with the world.

    Seems reasonable enough. So as an idea guy what will you be replacing them with? Oh yeah remind me again about the Muslim control of the media and American politic process. Are you sure you are not mixing up two of the three monothiastic faiths? Last time I checked Islam was running a very tired third behind the Christians and they were struggling just to try to stay in the race

    When the Holocaust Denial Conference occured the Media put in in favorable light.

    Tweedster:

    Your comment appeared to be general and not specific to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. If you want to stay narrow, fine. You can’t negotiate with people (I’ll even avoid naming them terrorists) that have as part of their mission statement to eliminate you. That is why we the world does not recognize Hamas. The withholding of funds (except for humanitarian) is proper. The peace process has to start with the idea of peace being the end result. That is why I made the comment that you can’t negotiate with people that are trying to destroy you. Your retort doesn’t fit at all.

    The ProgLeft of the media relish the perception (it certainly is not reality) they are “tolerant and enlightened”. What better way of reinforcing such a mindless idea than “empathizing, loving and welcoming” those bent on destroying the US and her allies. (”Were better than you because we REALLY, REALLLY love our enemies!!”) You recognize the lib-drill when they shriek “racial profiling” at airports. Yes, it reallllly is necessary to stop and search little old ladies and the Pampers set – to demonstrate the egalitarian nature of leftards, of course.

    Yeah, but the guy’s somewhat unhinged and looking to make waves, so
    denying the Holocaust just fits. Nothing special here. Also, taunting is a local
    sport, so what. Finally, he’s under Mullah Control so he won’t go too far with the
    taunting.

    A castle in the Middle East:

    Dark Cheney and his Necons of the PNAC, along with their sycophants,
    ride up to a castle. Dark Cheney’s servant, Georgie, blows a horn.

    Cheney: HELLO!

    (waits)

    Condi: HELLO!

    (waits)

    An armor-clad face appears at the top of the rampart.
    It speaks in an outrageous Farsi accent.

    Cheney: It is I, Dark Cheney, and these are my Neocons of the PNAC.
    Whose castle is this?
    A: This is the castle of my master, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameni .
    C: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred
    quest. If he will give us some oil and military bases and promise not to produce nukes, he can join us in our quest for Capitalistic Christian Superland.
    A: Well, I’ll ask ‘im, but I don’t think ‘e’ll be very keen– ‘e’s already got
    one, you see?
    C: What?
    Condi: He says they’ve already *got* one!
    C: (confused) Are you *sure* he’s got one?
    A: Oh yes, it’s ver’ naahs.
    (to the other soldiers:) I told ‘em we’ve already *got* one!
    (they snicker)
    C: (taken a bit off balance) Well… ah, um… Can we come up and have a look?
    A: Of course not! You are US types.
    G: What are you doing in *Iraq*?
    A: Mind your own business!
    C: If you will not show us the Nuke, we shall take your castle by force!
    A: You don’t frighten us, American pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, son of a

    First off tpre-Israel in old Jerusalem, In Palestine, not King Herods dwelling in Israel of today were Jebusites. Sharian law isn’t going to happen in Michigan, no court in their right mind would prohibit the sale of pork. Pork in a package is not ‘HANDLING’ it.

    Secondly, the Military Industrial Complex does exist. For instance Bandar wanted to buy fighter jets for Saudi but it was blocked by the Israeli lobby. Bandar purchases those jets from Britain instead.

    Third, you have provided no proof of this Muslim conspiracy theory of yours whatsoever ergo there is no rational to your tirade.
