    Who gives a shit though, if they can't recognize good stuff when they see it, fuck them. Sure, we'll get more stuff if it gets more mainstream, but I don't think it's worth changing the eh.. spirit of all the projects for. Their loss.

  15. Re:MLK on anti-Israel sentiment on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    I said all of that to say this. Zionism means many things to many people. At its core, it simply means the belief in Israel as a Jewish state on the traditional Jewish homeland. Now... Given the nearly two millennia of history of the scattered Jewish people since their forced exile from this ancient Jewish homeland who have faced massive persecution in points around the globe on at least four continents, to oppose the existence of Israel (be anti-Zionist) is to be anti-Jewish. It is tantamount to saying "I wish the Jewish people didn't exist."

    I am opposed to the act of creating Israel as a country for a people, 2000 years or so after they actually lived there. I mean, come on. It's like saying that the peoples of Norway and Iceland are the righteous owners of the northern part of Scotland, just because the vikings raided them and ruled there for some time. (That is, ridiculous). After the war, a lot of people had (rightly) a lot of sympathy for the jews of Europe. That's fine, I too believe what was done to them was wrong, they, like the rest of the peoples they were part of suffered. More of them suffered, because they had been picked as the target of Hitlers plan. However, they were inhabitants of these different European countries. And that's where it should have ended, after having made a huge effort to reimburse them for lost property (everything they had was stolen or smashed, just because they were jews), compensated for the loss of husbands to take care of them (as in, they were the ones with the jobs), made them feel accepted, and that they too were on the side of the allies, who had won the war. Their countries were liberated again. Made it possible for them to go back to their lives. Instead, in what can actually be called a result of dislike for the jews, they got rid of a hard problem by sending them away, to the middle east, to the land of another people, inspiring further conflict. Yes, many jews were actually for this, but that doesn't make it right. It's a combination of letting someone else deal with it and paying them back for centuries af ill feelings in Europe (in the wrong way), and on the jewish part (as in those who held the religious belief that the plot of land called Jerusalem belonged to the believers of the jewish faith, and to the loosely defined ethnic group termed jews, because of what the Torah told them), religious zealotry. I, personally would not tolerate this from any religion, and I believe that this was only seen as a valid reason because of the persecution of the jews during the war, since it was a convenient way of repaying a moral debt. However, this easy way out (for Europe, not for the Arabs and Jews) created a new problem for generations to come to deal with. I do not claim to know the one good solution, but creating Israel surely wasn't it.

    The jews have heritage in the middle east, milennia ago, but most of their fathers, and their fathers again, for generations, were Europeans.

  16. Re:because the French try to dictate our laws to u on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    Like any European country, non-EU ones included, France is opposed to the death penalty. This means that they have a moral obligation to not hand over anyone so you can kill them. Otherwise, they would be hypocrites (sure, dig something up). They will, however, let you have your prisoner after their courts/police have determined that he is most likely guilty, and you have signed an agreement not to kill him, should he be found guilty at a fair trial. How is this a problem?

    There have been good causes, like Balkan, but they are in the minority (South America(!), Iraq, Vietnam). The soldier on the battlefield lacks the birds-eye perspective of those who give orders to the ones that give him orders. It's even worse if he doesn't care.
