I don't accept your point about 'empty land', but I do agree that it is a different debate.
But the situation in E Jerusalem seems clear to me.
give it up. the people in power aren't affected. nothing will happen without armed overthrow. and little people will lose then, too.
if they WERE really all that altruistic, the govts of Israel, Palestine, Syria, et. al. might step down and accept imposition of a UN authority. think that's gonna happen?
Originally posted by DrKFYes, I know. I was merely saying that idiotic responses like these should be on the way. I know, because I have debated these types of responses repeatidly.
Nonsense. What has happened in those instances is almost certainly rooted in anti-Semitism, and it is deplorable.
As, of course, is the expropriation of Palestinian land.

But what we are witnessing is NOT anti-semitism, rather, it is anti-zionism, thus, politically correct and understandable.
Oh yea, I almost forgot FMF. Hey FMF, would Hitler do such a thing. Now if Hitler, Ghandi, Obama, and Christ all walk into a bar, who whose granny would be first on a death panel?
Sorry. I have absolutely no idea what you mean by this or what you are getting at.

Still, I'm sure we'll both be shown as fools, um, sometime soon when the deluge of anti-Semitic posts arrives as per his prediction. Yeah, any moment now...
Originally posted by KazetNagorraThe Palastinians are the front men for the Islamic war against the zionists. Is this not clear to you with Iran funding the groups fighting them and then threatening them? In fact, when the US went into Iraq, they found a human bomb factory that are used by the Palastinians. What can I say, it is a group effort.
Tell me sh76, what do Palestinians have to do with jews being persecuted in Yemen and other countries?

Originally posted by sh76Sort of, at best. Those who give money to a charity for homeless dogs are not applying a double standard with regards to their charity if they do not also give money to house homeless cats; if those people were to say that no charity should be extended to homeless cats, that would be a double standard. When the plight of the homeless cats is pointed out to them, they may agree that that is a bad thing, but if they do not then also give their charity to those cats surely doesn't mean they have a double standard?
Nothing.
However, people who make a big stink about one and ignore the other are applying a double standard. That, of course, was my point.

The people complaining about the plight of the Palestinian refugees and demanding that Israel be condemned and forced to do XYZ to remedy that and who ignore the plight of the Jews expelled from Arab lands are more analogous to the person who says that no charity should be extended to homeless cats while charity should be extended to homeless dogs than the guy who gives money to homeless dogs but doesn't give money to homeless cats.
