1. I had to read that headline twice

couldn't see why someone would hate to be honored. :dilemma:

[IndianaGreen]

2. A strong K&R

Who can forget the Leon Klinghoffer case, and the shameful role played by Italy in kow-towing to the PLO after the killers were forced to land by US Air Force.

3. There is an interesting Documentary about the ADL and Anti-Semitism

it's called "Defamation"; It is about an Israeli director who travels the world to find out what anti-semitism means in the modern world.

edit to add:

4. It's ok to be against hate unless it's Palestinians you hate,

then fuck it, it's okay to murder them.

5. Hear, Hear....

7. Your ignorant remark is astonishing...

[abq e streeter]

8. Beg to differ---it was utterly predictable that someone would post something that ignorant

(thinking in terms of astonishing being surprising.)

[winston61]

13. Once again let me refer you to events in the REAL WORLD-

Lots of Palestinian corpses for evidence for the prosecution. Go ahead, prove me wrong. I defy you.

[winston61]

12. Ignorant you say? All I have to go by is REALITY- what world do you

live in?

6. Yes, that is clearly the message.

And CAIR are all terrorists!

:eyes:

[winston61]

14. Anti Semitism my happy ass- jews pull the phrase like a gun any

time anyone questions the tactics they use. Don't worry, we only killed a few hundred Palestinians this time- and we have proof those women and children were all working in bomb factories. Give me a break.

[Fearless]

10. I'd tend to agree with the sentiment... one man's patriot is another's terrorist.

With violence I generally take a hardline stand: If violence is avoidable, all who engage in it are wrong.

[Fearless]

9. Excellent!

11. One of the people being honored: Tom Self
