Really? Then there's nothing more to say except to agree to disagree. Unless the irony is lost on me, you're playing the racist card I see. That doubl...
The apartheid colonialist State of Israel has demonstrated in the last few decades that the ineluctable lesson of history is that people more often th...
Most Israelis seem to think so. Cognitive dissonance is a contagious bitch on this thread today. :mask: You misread me. I was referring to Israel's al...
Your extensive reply is appreciated. Prolix bullshit nonetheless. You're still rationalizing 'immunity from critical examination' for religious discou...
:roll: Palestinians under Isreali Occupation don't have that option. War or subjugation. That's it. Until Israel ends their confiscatory Occupation, e...
The Isrealis have nothing to gain except US client-state status (i.e. military & economic support) and Palestinians nothing to lose by fighting aparth...
