Seriously? You're seriously going to cite a random yahoo answers style webpage which links to a website that's openly violently antisemitic??

Argentina, where the President just had someone assassinated?

Seriously??! Argentine, where a recently-elected President has just been publicly indicted over one assassination, is, in your opinion, worse than Cuba, where the decades-long dictator an his secret police have been assassinating and imprisoning hundreds for all of those decades — without any publicly-expressed disapproval?

Pakistan, where there is still a major Taliban presence?

So?..

Israel [...] keep Palestinians in a borderline starvation situation?

Is that why those Arabs — both in Gaza and in West Bank — live better, than Egyptians and Jordanians across their respective borders? Marrying a Gazan is a major win for a Egyptian bride.

Yes, Israel, under whose "occupation" the population of the supposedly "borderline starved" Arabs is growing faster, than Israel's own (even among the Muslim Israelis), is certainly a nicer country than Cuba.

This isn't rocket surgery, not by a long shot. Hamas really is "the bad guys." Haven't even started on the tunnel stuff yet, and them using them as weapons storage. And commandeering all those materials meant for housing, and instead built it up for the sole purpose of terror, war, and screwing over the civilians.

Postol says that the Hamas rockets are small and can't do much harm. But that's proven false by past Israeli experience.

In the 2006 Israel-Hizbullah war, about 40 Israeli civilians were killed by rockets from Lebanon. In the last couple weeks, exactly one Israeli civilian has been been killed by rockets from Gaza. What's changed between 2006 and now? Iron Dome has been developed.

Also, that Israeli civilian was a Bedouin. Bedouin are nomads who live in the countryside. Iron Dome does not attempt to intercept rockets heading for the countryside, because interceptors are too expensive. Is it just coincidence that the only Israeli to be killed by rockets was part of the minority who live in areas not protected by Iron Dome?

Or look at another incident. A single Hamas rocket hit an Israeli ranch and killed 30 cows. I don't care too much about the cows. But a cow is bigger than a person, one would expect more than 30 people to die if that rocket hit a collection of people. Nothing like that has happened. Why not?

Israelis see with their eyes that this conflict is different from past conflicts in terms of the damage done by rockets. Is it so strange to attribute that change to the new technology that has been developed?

In my experience this type believes those two are interchangeable. They also tend to use that term for all folks of Middle Eastern or North African heritage and not just Arabs. This is likely because they are unaware other such groups exist. Bigotry and ignorance seem to be highly correlated.

Don't be rediculous. Anyone who reads about Islamic terrorism will be aware of the many white muslim terrorist. If anything they are to be despised more. At least those from Islamic cultures have the excuse that they are abused and brutalised as kids, taught that hatred and murder is good, and that non-muslims are evil.

So wait ... an Israeli owner of an app that's popular in Arab countries tries to hide the Israel link ? Must be a conspiracy !

I guess you think Anne Frank was just dodging taxes too, perhaps ?

In case it's unclear to anyone religious discrimination against Jews is very much alive in muslim countries worldwide. Muslims online always claim that this is because it's all one big conspiracy against muslims and "they have to defend themselves" and similar claims. Needless to say, the Jewish religion was not created as a conspiracy against islam, nor was Israel created as a conspiracy against arabs, muslims, or anyone. It is plain to anyone but the most naive that the vast majority of muslims living in North Africa/Middle East and Asia are racists. I say this due to the plain evidence of this that can be found in the LAWbooks of those countries and the attitudes of the press in those countries (no month goes by without a Saudi paper claiming Jews ate some poor muslim schoolgirl). And Iran, well judge for yourself : Iranian leader writes article detailing how Jews are controlling Iranians through Sorcery.

Oh and the non-PC talk : I am sure that this muslim racism is just extremely widespread exclusively outside the US. I am not claiming the US doesn't have it's share of lunatics claiming all sorts of things, but anyone looking knows that muslim online forums in English are not just innocently joking about Jews, they are not a "tiny minority", nor is it a few lunatics.

Hmm. I wonder. What weapons are legal in Mexico?

You might want to reconsider your assumptions.

Next up, you'll be defending the reintroduction of sex slaves in Egypt...
