    Unfortunately the narrative that by questioning Israeli policies you're automatically an anti-Semite is still disturbingly prevalent.

    Israel is such a strange society. In some regards it's fantastically progressive (LGBT rights for example), in others it's as bad as some theocracies (a woman being fined for not circumcising her son). It's treatment of its Arab citizens is disgusting though.

    Many anti-Israel protestors are anti-Semitic though. You can't deny that exists. What about the riots in Paris and the synagogue that had a Molotov cocktail thrown at it?

    You might have no problem with the Jews but you can't speak for everywhere or pretend their religion doesn't provoke some of the protestors.

    What about the mosques that have been attacked and had petrol bombs thrown at them.in London? What about the churches (both catholic and protestant) that have been vandalised and burned here in Ireland? What about what about what about? There will always be idiots but seriously don't try to tar all with the same brush.

    Yes true but you cannot let the actions of some extremists define the entire argument.

    If I recall correctly the Israelis use only 2 or 3 types, all extremely powerful.

    Jesus lads it only takes a second to find this information.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-S_Precision_Pro_Series_2000_HTR - From the wiki one of you linked - is the rifle that the IDF use.


    This is the same rifle, making tiny holes in a target.

    Could ye stop now?

    You're welcome.

    Yeah, neither can you though, so moot point.

    No I'm just making a random BS statement like all people who hate Israelis are anti Jewish.

    Report from Dan Rivers on the aftermath of the school bombing, contains pics of injured kids. Pro Israel posters will claim it's fake i suppose

    The Jewish spin is only propaganda that the Israeli terrorists hide behind to discredit those that highlight their atrocities. Norman Finklestein , the Jewish American academic is great at explaining how this is done.

    The Israeli Defence Force should be referred to from now as the Israeli Murder Force.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,687 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    No they don't. Israel tries to proatect it's citizens. Hamas just doesn't give a ****.

    Israel puts its population in danger by refusing to halt its colonisation of the West Bank. See how that works?
    You've just pulled that out of your arse.

    Palestinian "boys":

    Israeli "youths":

    If you google what you want to find it will return those results. Well done, you've won a cream bun.

    Im sorry but thats like telling a first year in school to stop fighting back when he is being beaten up by a sixth year and then blaming the first year even though the sixth year started it.

    Don't forget that the sixth year is also the principal's child.

    I'll give you a detailed example of the difference between the murder of a Palestinian teenager and the murder of three Israeli teenagers, in the Middle East at least.

    This is from Al Jazeera, which has become incredibly one-sided recently in many conflicts (Egypt especially). A couple of friends work there and apparently the higher-ups (aka Qatari govt) have recently became a lot more involved in the narratives that the channel is spinning.

    1.
    http://www.aljazeera.com/video/middleeast/2014/06/palestinian-teen-killed-west-bank-clashes-2014620524142281.html

    From June 20th: "Palestinian teen killed...", and the second paragraph contains the name and age of the slain teenager. Article emphasises the age of the victim in the headline and second paragraph.

    2.
    http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/06/report-israel-finds-three-bodies-hebron-2014630162857704850.html

    Now, 10 days later 3 Israeli teenagers are killed and we get the headline: "Bodies of missing settlers found in West Bank". In all previous Al Jazeera news stories they were referred to as teenagers, but since they've been killed and it might like a bit cruel, they're referred to as "settlers". The ages and names are in the 15th paragraph.

    Anybody who is really interested in the conflict will already be well familiar with the propaganda tactics that Israel uses to shut down real debate.

    Never any harm though to reiterate its techniques, as there seems to be a lot of people out there who are sucked in and brainwashed by them, either due to being gullible or through choice.

    They're both doing it. It's a war; you get propaganda on both sides and from news organisations playing to their viewer base's respective bias.

    Don't forget that the sixth year is also the principal's child.

    I also forgot to add the first year wants to talk about it but the sixth year doesn't talk to first years

    Only one side is in denial and not ashamed to kill children, shell hospitals and bomb schools. And then has the neck to blame the victims

    Hamas wishes it could kill Israeli children. Unfortunately for them their rockets are useless and their tunnels are being destroyed.

    I hope you saw the faces of the young children on the News. The terror, disbelief, fear and agony has to effect even the most stupid fools who stand by the murderous war machine of Israel.
    I personally hope it haunts them.
