Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas
An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from The Hill:
"The past week's violence in Gaza has rekindled calls for Twitter to shutter the accounts of U.S.-labeled terror groups such as Hamas. Seven House Republicans asked the FBI in September to demand that Twitter take down the accounts of U.S.-designated terrorist groups, such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Somalia's al Shabaab. The letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller was spearheaded by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), who said Wednesday that the recent events vindicated the request. 'Allowing foreign terrorist organizations like Hamas to operate on Twitter is enabling the enemy,' [Poe said] 'Failure to block access arms them with the ability to freely spread their violent propaganda and mobilize in their War on Israel.'"
Why did the Jewish people choose to build their house where all their neighbors hate them?
you can't be serious. you can't be.
I can't even imagine how your mind works if you think the jewish people CHOSE to move to israel.
what other countries could they have stayed in, during the post-ww2 era? answer that.
you seem to think that the jews are welcomed everywhere (hint: they were NOT welcome even in the US back in ww2 days!) and that they simply have to 'move someplace' and things will be fine.
what you fail to understand (or you do understand, which is even worse) is that no country on earth (name one if you dare) wants the jewish people to live there, not in any numbers.
THEY HAD NO CHOICE. NO ONE WANTED THEM.
what are you going to do, let a whole culture of people die out when the war came so close to doing just that?
let me turn it around: why are the arabs still living where they are not wanted? egypt is big. jordan is big. other nearby countries have LOTS of land. what's wrong with THEIR BROTHERS helping them out?
they call them dogs. pals are called dogs by the other arabs.
but they use the pals as a slingshot against israel. as a device. not as a people but as a set of pawns to be moved.
if the arabs don't even respect or help their own people, you expect the israelis to? after being sent rockets on a nearly daily basis for so long?
the arabs have more land than they need. israel asks a tiny bit of land in the world. it simply wants security so it can continue to live. what the hell is so wrong with that?
the arabs don't want to live and let live. if you think so, you don't understand a single thing about them.

No.
Visited that hell hole. Israelis are the most racist people as a whole I have ever encountered. When they were out murdering Palestinian babies the last go around (Cast Lead), they were wearing t-shirts with pictures of pregnant arab women with slogans "one bullet, two kills." 98% of Israelis (nearly 100% of Jewish Israelis supported that massacre.
Israelis have no moral high ground. They are the occupier, and if it wasn't so morally distasteful to the rest of the world, Israel would have no qualms, committing genocide against the native population of Palestine. As it is, they are engaged in a slow, steady, ethnic cleansing.
And France, and Belgium, and Germany and the US and pretty much any country that did in fact or tried to create an Empire.
Remarkably, when you look at that way you see that humans have been screwing over other humans (and the rest of the planet) for their own perceived benefit for thousands of years.
Sucks to be us, I suppose.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
