Where in the..."ethno-supremacist state". Where in the Middle East can Arabs vote in Democratic elections? Nope, not Palestine, not Lebanon, not Saudia Arabia, In Israel. Israel where Muslims are free to practice their religion. In the other 17 Arab states in the middle East Jews and Christians are not allowed that freedom.<br /><br />How long have Jews lived in the land now known as Israel? Over 5000 years. In fact only three governments have ever existed in these lands and they were all Jewish governments. Most of the "Palestinians" arrived in that land after the begining of the 20th century. There were some Arabs living their before but most were goat herders moving with their flock. Most Palestinains came from Jordan and a handful of other Arab countries. <br /><br />The ironic thing about this is that if the "Palestinians" had accepted the UN resolution there would be a country legally known as Palestine and it would be over 64 years old. But they preferred to spend all their money and effort trying to kill jews. What a shame; what a mistake...

This LIE is a popular bit of Zionist propaganda. You are welcome to Google it.<br />If "SOME" Palestinians were dancing, how do you know WHY they were dancing? A particularly unscrupulous Jewish man handed out candy to Palestinian children, and filmed them celebrating... and then claimed they were "celebrating the attacks." They are kids who were given candy. Duh, of course they were happy.<br />Clearly, you are an agent of the Zionist state. You cannot provide ONE SINGLE BIT OF PROOF for anything you stated. Feel free to do so.<br />Well, the missile part is true, but...<br />I would GLADLY "hide those that would fire missiles into Israel". If someone expelled you from your homeland, wouldn't you "fire missiles" into their homes and bases???<br />Israel is a racist, ethno-supremacist state, brought into being by violently expelling the NATIVE inhabitants of Palestine and replacing them with a racist group of Europeans from Poland, Romania, Russia, Germany, and the US.Tom Stedhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00268201250851961272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-83646444729590848372012-11-02T15:28:34.081-04:002012-11-02T15:28:34.081-04:00He wonders why people were upset and called him na...He wonders why people were upset and called him names???<br /><br />Right or wrong, perhaps everyone remembered that it was the Palestinians that were out dancing in the streets on 9/11 when the towers fell. <br /><br />Perhaps people remember and realize that the Palestinians openly hide those that would fire missiles into Israel. <br /><br />Perhaps some recall the celebration when those 2 Terrorist PUNKS went into that household and killed most of the family including the infants there.<br /><br />Yes, all that in his "cradle of civilization" where HIS relatives live.<br /><br />I respect his service to this country, but he needs to remember that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-58085478334006846032012-11-02T14:20:57.477-04:002012-11-02T14:20:57.477-04:00When I was a young man I often blurted out somethi...When I was a young man I often blurted out something that would hurt others feelings. Even today at 69 years old I sometimes say things that are "funny" without realizing it wasn't funny to someone different from me or with a chip on their shoulder. I cannot take back everything I said that offended people and I cannot educate every young person to be careful what they say. Sadly people say things and other people are offended. I have been offended and have come to realize the highest level of accepting people is to be polite and even kind to someone who has offended. Often anymore they are members of my family but regardless of who it is that mis-speaks or inadvertently steps on my toes I challenege myself to be the better person. I hope I'm winning this battle. It has been months since I last flipped someone off (A driver who intentionally cut me off) and years since I called any SOB's what they are. I lived in California during the Rodney King riots. I was a little worried and that day I ran into my nieghbor, a black women, and she was polite and cheerful as usual. I don't know what she thought inside but in those circumstances I have always assumed she made the extra effort and I liked that.
