How is Iran a threat to the United States? Have you checked what groups are the ones lobbying for war with Iran?

Yeah, except that Israel is a first world nation with a population of 5 million. Egypt has over 40 million people and is a third world country. Yet Israel is still #1.

How is Carter's book racist? Because he criticizes Israel? Would you call someone who criticizes Sweden a racist?

Please tell me how Carter's book is racist. And btw, Israel does practice apartheid in the West Bank. I doubt you'll respond much like you didn't above with the "racist" comment because I said we fight wars for Israel.

It's a common tactic by your type, deflect with insults and refuse to backup.

Iran's president was democratically elected. Funny how we didn't hear about Iran until the war with Iraq was over. I guess we'll fight another war like Iraq for WMD. Funny, how neither are in the interest of the US.

So, who checks out India, Pakistan, or Israel's nuclear weapons? Who cares if Iran is enriching uranium.

Neo-Conservatism and Paleconservatism are polar opposites. And I don't know any Paleocons lobbying for war with Iran. I see a certain select segment of neo-cons.

Are you talking about the 15 British soldiers who were caught after boarding an Iranian ship themselves?

The word 'apartheid' is a proper term for what is happening in the West Bank. Even Bishop Desmond Tutu said Israel is practicing apartheid in the West Bank.

Israel already has a majority of the land, much bigger than the mandate. They need to give the Palestinians the state (their offers have refused to give them even water rights).

They withdrew 7,000 people from Gaza. However, in the West Bank they are building a huge wall to annex more land. Furthermore, Israel continues to build settlements in the West Bank and control a majority of the land. These settlements are off limits to Palestinians and have their own separate systems while the Palestinians live in abject poverty. It _IS_ apartheid.

The United Nations considers Israel's repeated settlements (yes they continue to build them) in the West Bank as ILLEGAL. Israel has literally dozens of UN resolutions against them and their illegal settlements. Any votes to do anything are automatically veto'd by the USA.

Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc considers what Israel is doing in the West Bank as criminal.

The British Mandate split Palestine into a Jewish state and a Palestinian state. Jews, despite being an incredibly minority in the region would get a majority of the land. Furthermore, 49% of the Jewish state was to have a Palestinian 'minority.'

The Palestinian state would be overwhelmingly Palestinian, have a larger population, and be a smaller amount of the land.

Why on earth would you expect people to accept that? Would you expect the United States to accept an offer from outside country to split the land in half?



We hold a candle to Israel as some sort of "Champion of Democracy" in the region. So why are they constantly compared to "Backwards Arab neighbors?"

Peace could happen, as long as Israel continues to build _MORE_ settlements in the West Bank in hope of becoming a majority there, it's not going to happen.

How is Iran anymore a "terrorist state" than Israel, Pakistan, or India -- all of which have nuclear weapons?

People seem to think Iran is some backwards Afghanistan. It's not. It's not Arab either.

So you support Israel's terrorist occupation of the land in violation of the UN and human rights groups? Palestinians will continue to blow themselves as long as the jets of zion screech overhead as the people have no education, no economy, no anything except occupied with a shrinking amount of land as Israel's illegal settlements continue.

By the way, are you Jewish? I am curious if it reflects your support for Israel.

Terrorism is a subjective term. Some would say bombing an entire civilian nation in the summer time by destroying their power and water supplies is terrorism, do you think it is?

Good, me too. Good thing Israel as the United States to veto the world's decisions.

I don't know are you Jewish? If the United States and Israel went to war, which country would you fight for? The country of your birth?

Edit: As re-read why you kept asking your type. By your time I meant the crazy supporter of Israel who refuses to look at the issue in an unbiased manner and accepts everything Israel does and refuses to respond to any points made beyond calling someone a racist or anti-semite. Truthfully, it doesn't surprise me. I question people with dual loyalties.

So, in war you believe there are no innocents?

Why not just tell us? Would you fight for your country or a foreign one that happens to share the same religion?

It seems many American Jews have dual loyalties that put Israel above the United States. Perhaps when you look at groups like APAIC that's rather obvious.

Don't expect a people you mistreat for 60 years, take away their rights to love and cherish you. How Israel expects to win over the people of Palestine by taking their land and mistreating them is beyond me.
