That's awful but the phrase, "a taste of my anti-semetic Hitler fists" is probably the best thing I've heard in a while. It sounds like a socio-political name for a DBZ fighting technique.Barbas said:...And in response to Dan's article, two people had this to say:

This. Why the hell was this article allowed? What does this have to do with anything?Johnny Novgorod said:

In Judaism Zion is a very literal physical place meaning Jerusalem, and is the spiritual capital of the Jewish land that was bequeathed by God to the Jewish People. There is no Judaism without the land, we have no Christian concept of a spiritual plane of existence as we are a far older tribal religion, and tribal religions are based on land and law. In our religion, the return to the land of Israel with Jerusalem as our capital will happen by necessity. In some Judaism, this will only happen at the end of the world when the Messiah comes and bring our people together (we do not have the Christian idea of going up, the Messiah is supposed to fix Earth and not to transcend it unlike Jesus and the Rapture), but different religious Jews see it differently depending on their interpretation. In fact, the land of Israel today is smaller than what was given to us by God, which again is an important part of the faith, which is why you have some of the crazier right wingers calling for Greater Israel which includes the West Bank. In fact, one of the 4 holy cities, Hebron, is in the West Bank.Baresark said:
I am not here to argue politics and how one feels about Israel as it exists today, that is one of those things where no one is right. My narrative and the Palestinian narrative cannot be brought together, we argue on every single fact and we see the world completely different. However, on matters of what Zionism and Judaism mean and how they relate to one another I promise you that I know what I am talking about here. As I said, the majority of modern Zionism is secular. Herzl did not care where the State of the Jews would be, for all he cared it could be in Uganda (honestly, there was vote on that and everything). He believed that anti-semetism is a fact in Europe and unless the Jews had their own country to run to they would be slaughtered. And 40 years after his death we had the Nazis, so he was right. THAT is why Jews connect anti-Zionism with anti-Semetism, because we would never have had political Zionism or a need for a state if Europeans (and Arabs) did not try to murder us consistently for over 1000 years.
Your comparison is slightly off. What happens when we add in the fact that said madman was also spraying bullets into an open crowd? I would absolutely not blame a policeman who made the call to shoot the lunatic and risk killing a child to save more people.KaZuYa said:
I'm absolutely not condoning the killing of innocent civilians, but sometimes there is no right answer to dealing with lunatics hellbent on killing you, only the lesser of two wrong ones.
Once again, Hamas and other terrorist groups are causing the issues, yet Israel is supposed to be the one who deal with them. I mean, you just yourself admitted that Hamas is the one deliberately putting them in the firing line. Thank you for proving my point.shintakie10 said:
It will continue to be impoverished as long as what little aid that does get in isn't abused. For example, you know all of those tunnels that were being used to smuggle weapons? Those were created out of cement that was donated to Gaza for the sake of building infrastructure. The civilians didn't get any for themselves for peaceful purposes, not even to build bomb shelters.
The same could be said for the U.N. locations: they won't be safe havens if the U.N. continues to allow Hamas to use them as launching points and storage facilities for their rockets. And trust me, they HAVE done, there's more than enough proof of that.
