Re: Israel & Palestine
"anti-Semitic material? The Palestinians are more semitic than the average modern day Jew, how can they be Anti-Semitic?"
If the word 'antisemitic' (which has always referred specifically to Jew hatred) is too hard for your small, small intellect to properly grasp, the replace it with 'Jew Hatred'. Simple! Or are you trying to argue that antisemitism is bad, but Jew hatred is ok?
"They just want their homes back, but I agree the material isn't sold at the many bookstores that Palestine has."
While we are on the topic of palestinian bookstores, care to take a guess as to what one of the top palestinian bestsellers is? Anyone?
Ok, I'll tell you. The arabic translation of Mein Kampf.
http://www.memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=archives&Area=sd&ID=SP4899
Here is a delightful quote from the introduction:
"This translation of the book
My Struggle has never been presented to Arab speakers. It is taken from the original text of the author, Adolf Hitler. The text was untouched by the censor.
We made a point to deliver Hitler's opinions and theories on nationalism, regimes, and ethnicity without any changes because they are not yet outmoded and because we, in the Arab world, still proceed haphazardly in all three fields"
But go ahead, call the Israelis nazis. Just remember who is reading their literature.
" I mean, people have so much money that they can afford to go out and buy books. (sarcasm)"
Complaining that the palestinians have so little money? If you are concerned about palestinian poverty, why don't you criticize the PLO, as the economy has shrunk by a factor of 10 since they came to power? Why don't you criticize the fact that Arafat amassed almost a billion dollars of aid money in his personal bank account? Why not criticize the fact that all the economic aid to the palestinians, which has INCREASED since the hamas boycott, doesn't go to the palestinian people but to funding terrorism.
Oh, I know, because you don't care about the welfare of the palestinian people - you just enjoy bashing Israel.
"lolololololololololololololololololololloollololol olololololol ..... dont tell me that those israelis take children chantings and gatherings seriously/ personally...thats just so naive and utterly stupid."
Personally, I thought that if the government was encouraging children to blow themselves up that would be important. But who am I to challenge your convincing, intellectual argument of "lololololololololololololololol"..

"I have not, and do not plan in the near future to provide assistance or support to any terrorist organisation in either attacking civilians, or facilitating an attack on civilians or any other sovereign nations...
"How does this have anything to do with my support for those who are fighting the corrupt nation of Israel?..."
Because the groups that are 'fighting the corrupt nation of Israel' are considered terrorists by the Australian government, and the way they 'fight' Israel is attacking civilians and undermining a sovereign nation. All you have going for you is the fact that you haven't broken the law yet - it doesn't mean that you don't support terrorist murderers.
You're such a devious and mentally incompetent individual, and I'm disgraced to have such a person as a part of this nation.
