Meet another of the Washington Post's lovely op-ed writers

The Washington Post was criticized over the weekend for running an oped by Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, leader of the Houthi rebellion in Yemen. The slogan of the Houthi rebels is âoedeath to America, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam.â

This discussion isn't about Israel, Jews, or AIPAC. It's about Facebook removing 82 Iranian disinformation linked accounts.

For me it's about censorship and who gets hit by it and why. Individual players or countries of origin means nothing to me.

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-N...

In the past we've seen some influence efforts full of factually incorrect and misleading information (re JCPOA) on behalf of a foreign power (Israel) without so much as a suggestion of media pushback against it.

If you have to take it all the way down to your racist base you should find a forum more welcoming to that.

Just remember Netanyahu would have Trump's children if he could.

... doesn't have the authority to set rules for how its own taxpayers' money should be spent?

How is that even an argument?

For comparison, South Carolina has a law that 'prevents public entities from contracting with businesses engaging in the “boycott of a person or an entity based in or doing business with a jurisdiction with whom South Carolina can enjoy open trade.”' (Source.) The purpose is to avoid companies who support measures aimed at Israel, but if extra-judicial sanctions are the issue, then how is it not the same principle?

And these two are dead proof you are wrong

https://www.jpost.com/Middle-E...

What's more the fact that london now has a higher crime rate and murder than NYC is further proof you are wrong.

But I am one hundred percent certain you have the same standards of proof those poor stupid cyclists had.

The problem with making stuff up, like you just did, is that inevitably someone who knows better will call you out. You can provide proof, admit you're a liar, double-down, hotly angry, or just stop posting. Strapping bombs to kids? Just bullshit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...â"Palestinian_conflict

The use of children as suicide bombers by Palestinians is well documented. There's plenty of links to news sources in the Wikipedia article. It took me about 2 minutes to find that article, had you bothered to take 2 minutes yourself to check before you posted then you wouldn't look like an idiot right now.

I love how the standard response of Israel's defenders, when presented with proof of Israelis murdering kids, doctors, nurses and people in wheelchairs, is to blather on...

The Palestinians have been caught lying many times about the Israel forces killing Palestinians.
https://www.christianpost.com/...
https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Isr...

These deaths by IDF gunfire and tear gas always happen during a protest along the border fence. If these people know that the Israelis are so brutal then why are they bringing children and people in wheelchairs to the protests? Can you explain that? Assuming that the report of a child killed by tear gas was true, what kind of idiot parent brings an infant to a protest? I don't care if the protest was "peaceful". I don't care if they had no reason to expect IDF to gas them. No one wants to bring a child to a protest, out in the desert, so the child can be miserable and cry and therefore make the parents miserable. They brought the kid there knowing that the IDF would be using lethal force, knowing that the child could die, and therefore carry the blame for the death.

I have no sympathy for a culture that uses children as soldiers. I cannot blame the IDF for shooting children that get too close to the border fence when there is a history of children being used as suicide bombers to breach the fence or kill IDF soldiers. If there are wheelchair bound people and children suffocating in gas attacks by the IDF then that's because someone brought them to the border knowing that it's possible they could die in a gas attack.

If the Palestinians want to wage a war with Israel over the land they occupy then they can't claim to be victims of "brutality" when Israel defends their borders.

Sigh. It's not about religion, it's about force, taking land, and wanting to be cruel to people because you've taken their land.

It's not "their land" if they've never set foot on it. These young Palestinians admit that they've never been there before. Maybe instead of expending this effort in fighting for land that they've never seen before they should make the best of what they got.

The whole state would become impoverished and fall apart, even under the best case scenario, if the occupation were to end and an equitable solution found.

I don't even know what that means.

After 2,000 years the Jews have returned to the land of Israel worshiping the same God they have worshipped for more than three millennia. The land is blooming, industry is humming, and the country is growing wealthy. Jerusalem is once again their capital as it was in the time of Kings David and Soloman, and Jesus.

The Vikings were here for a short period, are long gone, and the Norse gods never existed.

Think Again: Connecting to the Jewish story

All materialist explanations of history, from Marx to Toynbee, have floundered when confronted by the continued existence of the Jewish people. Challenged by Louis XIV to give one proof of the supernatural, the great philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal replied, “The Jews, your Majesty, the Jews.”

It is pathetic if you can't see that.

When Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead you will no longer be able to deny God's existence, but neither will you be able to escape judgment.

John 3:16

Oh please! Killing your enemies isn't human rights abuses it is just common sense. Israel has been under constant attack in one form or another since 1948. But since Israel has had the gall to kick the ever loving shit out of anyone stupid enough to attack them they get described as the bad guy.

As a thought exercise what do you think the US would do if someone in Mexico was constantly firing missiles over the border into the US? What do you think the US would do if millions of Mexicans were demanding unrestricted access to the entire US Southwest region including California? Their argument would be the US is illegally occupying their homeland and that occupation was created when US military forces claimed the region forcing refugees to run towards Mexico? The correct answer for both questions is the US would do anything it wanted to and nobody could stop them.

Yeah, Israel has only ethnically re-organised large swaths of the Levant to the advantage of all it's inhabitants, generously housed millions of refugees in gigantic gated luxury communities even though they are Muslims and the entire Levant is well known to be the indisputable possession of Israel by divine decree. All Israel has ever done is things it is entitled to (being god's chosen people and all) and they have the bronze age literature to prove it. As for missiles, I'm pretty sure that if somebody launched a couple of dozen grad rockets across the US-Mexico border, most of whom exploded away from their targets, the US would mobilise it's entire air force, bomb the bajeezes out of every major city in Mexico, flatten Mexico's infrastructure, mount a ground invasion using several armoured divisions and kill a few thousand people in the process, mostly civilians just to make a point about what happens when you fire off a few dozen grad rockets onto the sacred soil of the republic. Furthermore there would be crowds of US citizens sitting on hilltops near the border cheering every time a bomb went off. Nothing out of the ordinary with that reaction. The last thing the US would do (or would have done until the election of Donald Trump who knows better than anybody that the more you bomb a problem the more likely you are to solve it) is cooperate with the Mexican government and send in special forces in a 'measured' response to put a stop to the rocket launches. That would be a totally inappropriate reaction since being on speaking terms with your neighbours is just about the worst mistake any country can make unlike Israel which has cunningly followed a policy of ensuring that it is in a state of constant animosity never more than an inch away from all out war with every single one of its neighbors. /sarcasm

Now can we please take the discussion back to a less toxic and more peaceful debate about patents?

This'll be why the Israeli media in the run-up to the last election was telling US Jews to vote Republican because the Democrats are full of anti-semites.

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/T...

"Blumenthal Sr. is a proud father. He regularly shared his son’s ravings with Clinton, and she shared his delight. In eight separate emails over the course of her tenure in office, Clinton enthusiastically praised his Jew-hating propaganda."

But, hey, SJWs always lie.

The comment didn't add anything to the discussion.

Yes it does! Israel has much more influence on American politics than Russia could ever dream of. All of D.C.'s politicians have to pass the litmus test of being absolutely pro-Israel (and settlements) before they get a dime of the party's money. Russia is small potatoes.

In the Israeli pride parade a year ago, a Haredi Jewish man assulated a young girl with a knife and killed her

The cited Leviticus 20:13 passage says nothing about women. Whatever motivated that lunatic, it was not the scripture — certainly not that part of it. Fail.

Israelis are actually smart enough to have gun control, unlike the US.

Another fail. Israel makes it very easy for citizens to own weapons. In fact, they just made it even easier — so that civilians can better help authorities subdue terrorists. Israel has a lot of guns, but very little violence — the fact, America's anti-weapon zealots are struggling to explain because it tears apart their cliches...

So if Israel stopped intercepting rockets fired into Israel, stopped halting suicide bombers from coming in and in general just let all the attempted murder, terrorism and killing of their civilians that is attempted by the other side, is it then okay for them to do what they are doing? Or if you have the capability to defend yourself with one some deaths and only lots of FEAR of death, and your enemy defends themselves in a way to up the death toll of innocents around them ... are you just stuck sucking it up and knowing that your people will simply have to die?

Did you read the article and see the example of the "drones earmarked for use by "terrorist elements in Gaza" to gather intelligence on IDF movements" provided by the Jerusalem Post?

http://live.jpost.com/HttpHand...

What a joke, Is this a hoax or something? That thing looks exactly like a cheap Chinese drone my coworker bought. The thing requires constant attention to keep it airborne, you have to maintain eye contact with it and give constant control feedback at all times to keep it from crashing, it has no GPS powered autopilot, no automatic hover function, no route planning software and the camera feed is crappy to say the least. If Hamas wants to get it's hands on proper drones they'll smuggle proper ones in through tunnels from Egypt or they'll just build drones from smuggled COTS parts (keep in mind they manufacture their own home designed RPG launcher in Gaza) and there is essentially nothing that the IDF or Israeli customs service can do to stop them except keep bugging the Egyptians to do something about Hamas bribing their border guards.

The very link from the summary reveals you're an asshole, since the stats there match what I quoted exactly. You're an asshole for jumping to "incompetent or lying".

The dx.com link you shared does say 100 meters and 8 minute flight (it's for the SYMA X5SW).
The link to rcgroups.com from the summary says 160 feet and 6 minute flight (it's also for the SYMA X5SW).
I don't see either link in the main story at http://www.jpost.com/ (maybe my adblocker took care of something).

In either case, do you honestly believe this toy can life 1/2 pound of anything?

Not sure where to start. I assume, given the current news, you are referring to the Iranian 'peace' deal when you say:

Maybe it's time to declare war on the countries harboring and funding these organizations instead of making 'peace' deals with them.

Iran is not supporting ISIS and is, in fact, urging their allies to fight them.

You go on to say:

We no longer tolerate fundamentalist christians teaching 'creation' in place of science, nor allow them to trample women's reproductive rights.

Again I must assume (you didn't specify) that you are referring to the USA which still has many states where creationism is taught in public schools and recently made exceptions for FOR PROFIT self described (not legally associated with any religion) corporations to deny woman coverage to basic reproductive health treatments at the insistence of their employer.

I do not believe people are supporting giving "irrational muslim belief" any quarter. Are you implying that all muslim belief is irrational? What action do you believe would solve the current world issues? It seems that having a bunch of American soldiers on the ground does not generally result in a stable nation appearing. This is not a simple problem assuming you have the answers or even all the information without having dedicated your life to it is ignorant at best.

And you are missing the fact that Israel wants to wipe Arabs off the face of the earth. If you have pledged destroy Arabic people then Israel will support you.

All one has to do is to read the comments section of the Jerusalem Post. Quite telling.

"The IDF began to prepare over the weekend to demolish the homes of three Palestinian terrorists, two of whom wounded eight soldiers in the West Bank on Friday. Palestinian assailant Amar Arafat Issa Za’akik, 17, ran down six soldiers with his car as they stood on the side of the road, near the entrance of the Palestinian village of Beit Umar, located off of Route 60 in between Gush Etzion and the West Bank city of Hebron."

http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Isra...

Utterly foolish. Foolish to the point of self-deception or outright lying. But don't listen to me, listen to French Muslims:

Worshippers leaving the Grand Mosque of Gay Paree after the midday prayer also worried that Muslims in La Belle France would be blamed for a conflict rooted in the Middle East.

"This story soils Islam and it soils Muslims," said a man named Soufiane. "There are problems over there and they shouldn't be imported here."

Straight from the horses's mouth. The first thing that you do is stop the problem from spreading. Keep it contained. Ask any doctor, "first, do no harm." The question is why are these left-wing voices continually telling us to import hostile foreigners into our countries and our homes? What possible positive outcome could result from this? It certainly ain't gonna be singing Kumbaya in front of the campfire.

Last week, left-wing Germans threw a party welcoming Muslims to their country. How did their new guests respond? By molesting and harassing the women (scroll down for English). And you want to bring that shit into our country? Fuck you.

Unfortunately because there was no on-site FAC because [...]

Because whatever. War is war and shit really does happen. The primary responsibility of Forward Air Controller (FAC) is, actually, assuring friendlies aren't accidentally hit from the air. The reporters are there at their own risk. No one wanted to kill journalists, but it happens.

It is not specific to air-borne assaults — when our tanks entered Baghdad, two reporters were killed by a tank shell. No FAC involved — a camera does look like a grenade-launcher. Do not carry one on somebody else's battlefield.

tell the difference between an AK-47 and a TV camera

I'd say, the camera — a shoulder-held one — looks just like a grenade-launcher from even 50 meters. Heck, a weapon can be, and has been — both in fiction and real life — hidden inside a camera so well, you can't tell while holding the device in your hands. Our enemies do not hesitate to masquerade as reporters and use ambulances for military purposes — no amount of camera-resolution can help against that.

That screwup was then made worse by the Pentagon's default reaction to such screws which is to cover them up.

Would their non-covering it up have helped resurrect the victims? No. So, then, exactly how did the cover-up make it worse? Bad publicity? Great — should we, perhaps, blame the leaker, who made the video-recording public for that publicity?

Either way, the very fact, that we are ashamed of it having happened, that we tried to cover it up — all of that makes our society better than our enemies'. The enemies, who deliberately go after civilians and publicize their deaths as part of "glorious" struggle.

I'm afraid you're batting 0 for 2. The "tribunal" your link refers to isn't a government entity. You can find more info at the two links below. The founder has some troubling views.

Bush, Cheney Face Torture and War Crimes ‘Charges’ in Mock Trial
Guess who finds Israel guilty of genocide?

Mahathir Mohamad, the founder of this kangaroo court, was Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003. In October 2003, shortly before he stepped down as prime minister, he attracted international attention with a speech at a summit for the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), where he told his audience that while Muslims “have the biggest oil reserve in the world,” “have great wealth” and “control 57 out of the 180 countries in the world,” they “will forever be oppressed and dominated by the Europeans and the Jews.” Indeed, according to Mahathir, “today the Jews rule the world by proxy.”

I'll correct your correction - hundreds of those emails contained classified information, and it was classified at the time, including the two with Top Secret information. You can't just repeat information in a Top Secret message on an unclassified system and render that information "unclassified."

An arsenal of smoking guns in Clinton email scandal

... Most people can be forgiven for not understanding the difference between classified documents and classified information. A classified document is marked “Top Secret” or some such. But people who work in government understand that lots of information is classified simply by virtue of the kind of information it is.

My National Review colleague Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, has been setting his head on fire trying to get the mainstream media to take note of this fact. He points out that according to an executive order issued by President Barack Obama, all “foreign government information is presumed to cause damage to the national security” and is therefore presumed classified. Clinton routinely ignored this rule. That’s not just my opinion. A study by Reuters found that “Clinton and her senior staff routinely” ignored these rules.

“Here’s my personal email,” Clinton told Middle East envoy George Mitchell, who then proceeded to convey numerous private conversations he had with foreign leaders.

The Washington Times reports that Clinton’s unsecured emails contained spy satellite information about North Korea’s movement of its nuclear assets. This sort of information is universally recognized as top secret and is normally subjected to draconian safeguards. There is no way Clinton didn’t know this.

My statement stands. The organization your link refers to is not a government entity. You can get more direct information at these two links:

Bush, Cheney Face Torture and War Crimes ‘Charges’ in Mock Trial
Guess who finds Israel guilty of genocide?

In case you are like me and have never heard of the “Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC)” and its “tribunal,” a quick check at Wikepedia tells us that this is “a Malaysian organisation established in 2007 by Mahathir Mohamad to investigate war crimes...as an alternative to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which Mahathir accused of bias in its selection of cases.” Among those tried and duly convicted by the “tribunal” are of course George W. Bush and Tony Blair

Mahathir Mohamad, the founder of this kangaroo court, was Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1981 to 2003. In October 2003, shortly before he stepped down as prime minister, he attracted international attention with a speech at a summit for the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC), where he told his audience that while Muslims “have the biggest oil reserve in the world,” “have great wealth” and “control 57 out of the 180 countries in the world,” they “will forever be oppressed and dominated by the Europeans and the Jews.” Indeed, according to Mahathir, “today the Jews rule the world by proxy.”

Depending on your own interests - you might type in some country in a Google search, and add "times" or "post" or "news". From time to time, I do something like that - the earthquake in Tibet for instance. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=pale... That search offered up a number of sites, but I didn't add any of them to my feeds. Note that many of the hits are very politicized, but you can still find Tibetan news sources among them.

Have fun!

Me and Rush Limbaugh are both wondering, just how is the American flag any better? It, likewise, flew over slavery, the subsequent racism, and was (still is!) used in imperialist wars. It covered — still does at times — sexism and parochial bigotry.

Whatever you can say against the Confederate flag, can also be said about the American. Yeah, the latter may have been used for some good, but the sheer period of its usage (over 2 centuries and counting), makes it much worse than the former, whose country only existed for what, four years? Five?

Can it get any worse? Yes it can! A recent study has shown, that simply seeing the flag can cause a hitherto innocent victim to vote Republican! And even a single exposure can last for up to 8 months!

As soon as we are done with KKKonfederate rag, we must turn our energies onto the AmeriKKKan one.

In fact, why wait? Let's act NOW!! .

Maybe, those misunderstood ISIS warriors destroying the symbols of defunct states that practiced slave-ownership are onto something, huh? I for one have always doubted Pythagorean Theorem — what can a long-dead White slave-owner possibly know about any hypotenuse?

I'm not even 100% convinced that the ideal of universal access to information is an unalloyed good

That's actually an interesting question, I've always assumed that it is. That being said, I've always assumed the information is correct or can be verified correct, or can be eventually demonstrated as incorrect and then repaired.

Remember the pseudo-joke about how "unwritten laws are the worst to change, because they're not written down in any one place?" Rumors and hearsay are hard to correct, because maybe they're right, maybe they're only partially right, maybe they were right once but not now, maybe they'll be right AGAIN, and maybe "THEY" want to keep it secret from you. Oh, and it might just be someone's misunderstanding or compete total BS as well.

Now, it's impossible to ALWAYS check EVERYTHING out FULLY -- there's just not enough time. So you have to trust someone, and realize that THEY'RE trusting someone as well. Everyone ends up with information sources: some trustworthy, some not-so-much, and some completely worthless. And some actually less than worthless since they can cause confusion, angst, and dispute the common wisdom. (Anyone remember 'Question authority?') And it's also obvious that heavy things fall faster than light ones. And the Sun moves around the Earth, which is Flat -- all common wisdom at the time.)

Unless you're in math, I think it's a never-ending, never-settled topic. *I* think we landed on the moon; other people think we did not. We both have "truth" on our side, but seemingly I've got positive records (technology, written records, pictures, etc.) while other people have something similar, only I think pointing to a conspiracy.

So: did we go, or not? Make up your own mind. Or you can have your mind made up for you by a prominent scholar like this one: "there needed to be standards to prevent users from dangers such as 'immoral and inhumane' videos and photos, rumors, and espionage." This is coming from a man of high moral standards who have been vouched for by other people.

Oh, and the same leader says "mobile ... and broadband internet [are] morally wrong", too. I'm still confused if 300-baud is moral or not. After using it decades ago, I think I'd classify it as immoral -- but for a different reason.

Information is Power; that's why the powerful (Church, Governments, individuals, etc) want to control the flow (spin) if not the actual information itself.

What would you say should be the fate of a UN run school that is used to store ammunition or to launch offensives? Would you say it loses its impartiality status at that point?

Shachar

(to the point that even many Jewish Israelis consider their government's behavior nothing short of reprehensible).

Actually, 87% of Israelis think the government is not using enough force. There are a few who think the government is reprehensible, but very few.

It's not that Israelis enjoy it when Palestinians die. Like in most countries, the large majority oppose killing noncombatants on principle. Even those who would support killing noncombatants in theory, are aware that every Palestinian death increase the diplomatic pressure for a cease-fire on Hamas' terms. But the bottom line is, they are determined to stop the rockets (and now tunnel infiltrations) "by any means necessary". They simply prioritize their experience (constant rocket fire making their life a terror for months on end) over that of the other side (deaths of "human shields", as they see it, as well as terrorists).

Well, if Hamas didn't use hospitals, mosques, and playgrounds as rocket launch sites then there might be less to complain about when Israel bombs their rocket launch sites.

http://www.jpost.com/Operation-Protective-Edge/IDF-shows-photos-of-alleged-Hamas-rocket-sites-dug-into-hospital-mosques-368307

But then Hamas wouldn't have all those photos of dead and injured children to propagandize via the world's newsmedia.

As for us being all white Europeans, the majority of the Israeli population is not white. Genetically even the white ones are closer related to people of this region than the so-called Palestinians

We know that you can hide your true skin color using technology. We know that it is possible to fool a DNA test by using DNA belonging to someone else. (Why all those archeological digs?) We know that the way the white European behaves in a conflict with other groups is in his blood. We have read his history.

Here is how the white European handles group conflict: He under react and gives in when other groups attack him and make demands. This makes (few or many individuals belonging to) the group that attack him bolder and bolder. They think he is weak. They don't understanding his true nature. He probably don't understand it him self. Whitey will continue doing this until it appears to be to late for him. Then he genocides everyone in the other group: men, women, children, guilty and innocent.

The Israeli behavior in the conflict with the Palestinians have been consistent with cracker behavior. Ariel Sharon gave Hamas a place to launch rockets from. Benjamin Netanyah supplied them with concrete to build military infrastructure. This can't be a coincidence: Israel is clearly closet white. It's therefore easy to predict that Israel will pay all the Palestinian refugees to resettle in Israel. They will be given the right to vote. They will be given almost everything they want. Bad behavior will be rewarded so it will increase. Then, when whitey finally feels suppressed enough, his blood will change his mind from surrender to genocide.

Yes, really.

This excludes the hundreds of thousands killed in Pakistan, Syria, etc. In Syria there were 15,000 Jews in 1948. Now there are 50. Muslim population has decreased from 20-15% to 1.5% in the last 60 years in Pakistan whereas it increased from 8% to 15% during the same period in India. The so called "terrorist attacks" are just the tip of the iceberg

Oh and by the way to prove your point you need to show that there were nearly as many Zombie attacks!

About 35% of billionaires in the US are Jewish, although Jews are only 2% of the population.

Globally speaking, about 11% of all billionaires are Jewish, almost all of them living in the US or Israel.

Both chairmen of the Federal Reserve since 1987 have been Jewish (Greenspan and Bernanke) and both the people Obama is considering to replace Bernanke are Jewish (Summers and Yellen). So we will likely go 30+ years with only Jewish Federal Reserve chairs.

You don't know what you're talking about. And that is really quite astonishing since the information has been widely available for some time.

The Future of Terrorism: What al-Qaida Really Wants

If you think this is ultimately about anything America has done, you're uninformed. If you think it will stop if America is destroyed, you're willfully blind. Ultimately they will come for Europe and the rest of the world as they believe they are both entitled and destined to rule every nation.

And the kicker is that they will have help:

The Leftist-Islamist Alliance in Pictures
The Left's Unlikely Alliance with Islam
Ayaan Hirsi Ali - Leftist's Ironic Unholy Alliance with Islamists
A dangerous alliance: Faux liberals and Islamists
Islamist-Left Alliance A Growing Force

Islamic democracy functions like this: One man, one vote . . . once.

Once they get in power, the first order of the day is to kill off any opposition. There is never a real election again.

While this is a simplification, Revolutionary Sudan by Burr and Collins tells what went down in Sudan when the Islamists took power there through a coup and Persopolis gives a ground-level view of Iran, while the Islamists in Turkey have allowed elections after jailing their political opposition and eliminating opposition media.

Al Jazeerah is BBC . . . It was formed when BBC closed it Arabic division. Those folks went and started Al Jazeerah.

That makes perfect sense.

(BBC Director General) Mark Thompson: “There was massive left-wing bias at the BBC”
The BBC's Left-wing bias isn't in its news coverage; it's in everything else that it does
BBC bias - The BBC has managed to flabbergast even those Israelis who hadn’t expected minimal fairness from it.
More absurd anti-Israel bias from BBC MidEast editor
For once, there is no ambiguity: the Today programme's report on Gaza this morning was totally and utterly biased

Please don't give this more credit than it deserves. But I have seen other stories saying the same thing from long before this story. But no one is ever on the record.

This is quite true. Especially after various muslim countries have started screaming that they want censorship on the intertubes to "protect people from defaming their precious prophet" the most recent case Saudi Arabia.

Bullshit. You wanna see the real historical facts? How about you see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7ByJb7QQ9U to get some reality in your thinking.
Then consider why the Israelis treat Gazan's for advanced procedures in Israeli hospitals despite the rockets coming from Gaza to the civilians in Sderot and Ashkelon. There are extremists on both sides (although the Israeli Government deals with Israeli extremists using the courts; compared to Hamas throwing Fatah supporters off buildings [check Youtube for the video]) yet you choose to use a libel of "progrom". See this fellow for why you are completely and utterly wrong and why you are being played for a fool:

You think you have a humanitarian conscience and are defending the poor Palestinians but thanks to some slick propaganda you have the aggressor backwards and are defending an intolerant, fascist, theocratic movement (Hamas). I bet you would like to see the Palestinian "One State" solution come to pass where they push every last Jew (and even the bulk of Israelis who are effectively modern and secular) into the sea. Your morality is backwards and I hope you take the time to examine the *historical* facts to get it all sorted out. I'm not anti-Palestinian by any means (having been there), nor anti-Israeli - but I do recognize your statements and woefully ignorant about the historical and contemporary facts on the ground. You are looking at the situation by squinting your eyes to fit your preconception - open your eyes and examine the object facts where they can be found.

Oh yeah, "poor Palestinians". How come they can afford to buy iPhones for twice the normal price yet it is not even available in Israeli? Citation: http://www.jpost.com/Sci-Tech/Article.aspx?id=287940 Simply put, you have been suckered to believing their propaganda "victim" line. Sucker.

MKs Michael Ben-Ari (Ichud Leumi), Ofer Akunis (Likud), Danny Danon (Likud) and others spoke in the Knesset today about the need to deport everyone but [Interior Minister] Eli Yishai (Shas) has already deported all those who can be forced to leave legally,” pointed out Rozen.

Rozen was referring to an emergency hearing of the Knesset Committee on Foreign Workers, which was held Monday to discuss an alarming spurt in violent crimes in neighborhoods where there is a large population of African migrants. During the meeting Knesset members slammed the government’s policy on what it calls foreign “infiltrators” and demanded a solution be found immediately. MKs such as Akunis, Danon and Ben-Ari said they were already in the process of drafting legislation that would see thousands of the migrants deported over the next few years.

Earlier in the day, Justice Minister Yaakov Neiman, speaking at a gathering of legal representatives in Eilat, said that the government was also already working to eliminate the “scourge” from the country.

Scourge? Sigh...

Turkey gets in as soon as it fulfills the criteria everyone else has to fulfill. In particular, they will have to accept the sovereignty of Cyprus, which is already EU member. Can't really take someone into the club who won't agree upon the legitimacy of a doubtlessly legitimate other club member. Apart from that there is a certain lack of human rights in Turkey, which has to change before the accession talks proceed any further. The same criteria apply for every other aspiring member, so there is hardly any racism involved. I'd be careful to throw around accusations of racisms when using words like "islamofascism" myself...

Uh... I'd hate to let facts get in the way of your ranting, but there is wide-spread protest against this behavior by Jews. Many of the protestors are Orthodox Jews no less. The Chief Rabbi of Israel has even come out publicly condemning this behavior.

When is the last time the majority of Muslims staged a public protest against the repression of women or terrorism?

Well, Russia is at least not (yet) pissed enough to supply Iran with S-300 (or even worse, S-400) SAM systems. S-300 was almost sold there, but US piled a boatload of pressure and Russians backed down. So you could argue that Russia isn't interested ENOUGH in Iran to cause a major conflict with NATO.

Funny you should mention that. Israeli Foreign Minister has just called Russian elections "free, democratic, and with no irregularities". I was actually pondering what on Earth might prompt Israel to make such a stance, but perhaps they've just got a discreet advice that any other message would result in some S-300 being there to meet their jets when the time comes?
