Which brings me to my well-worn argument that this case happened in the US and by Christians, DESPITE the laws saying this is illegal - and therefore begs the question, would there be more such crimes in the US if the law was more lenient? If not, then the legal system isn't effective - and if it d...

..and then cried about seeing terrorists with rifles before shooting 9 dead. ;) BTW - what happened to this story about a rifle? Is this another case of early misinformation that vanishes under closer inspection? Someone also should tell the US that the IHH has links to Al Qaeda as the Israelis all...

Well, Pirates of the Mediterranean take 2 is in progress.. lets see how it turns out this time round.

Jews should leave Palestine and return to Europe, top U.S. journalist says White House reporter Helen Thomas also slams Obama administration for not condemning 'deliberate Gaza flotilla massacre.' By Natasha Mozgovaya Israeli Jews should get out of Palestine and go back "home," to Germany...

looks like the Pirates did a better show this time round, according to Pirate central. We still need to hear from the abductees. I guess the message that it would be hard to portray the abductees this time as raving terrorists got through. One has to ask why the first 6 boats couldn't have been boar...

But the Israelis insist that they did not expect resistance the first time round - hence why they got their ar.ses handed to them by the 'terrorists' - if they didn't really expect resistance, why not just board the boats as they did with Rachel Corrie? I guess you can't cover all the angles when PR...

LOL. While Jews do have a history of thousand years in Israel and always considered it their homeland, whites in the USA have been there for how long? Few hundred years? 100% agree with you there FD. If anyone deserves the right to turn up to a person's house with a religious book in one hand and a...

^Actually RobbyG - the Pirates of Penzance misread the situation totally - all the Turks were trying to do was offer the visitors Apple Tea and sell them some authentic antique Turkish ('much better than Persian') carpets. The problem was that the Pirates chose to visit in the middle of the night, w...

All mouth, no trousers again, or were the questions too difficult/embarrassing? (I actually spent quite a bit of time reading through Hannam's site and reading what he and others on his forum have to say. I enjoyed reading the discussion over the conflict thesis and especially the discussion on anot...

DD - you've got to be a little charitable. Pirate Central have got to make the most of the fact they finally learnt from the Somalis on how to board a boat without shooting up the place (rule number one - do it in daylight so they can see you are armed). They've really got to make the most of it and...

^Hey, benjw - perhaps you're right - the availability of prostitutes and the attitudes of Johns in Dubai may have something to do with the lower incidences of rapes and other violence against women when compared with the US and Europe. It's certainly a valid hypothesis to try and explain the differe...

shafique

Well, as I mentioned before, I tend to like to see the evidence - and I'm genuinely interested to see whether Pirate Central can report something without spin. You see, I'm essentially an optimist! ;) Who knows, perhaps the Malaysian and Irish abductees will come out and praise the Pirates' makeover...

In reality, the facts show that very few Pal-Arab inhabitants of Palestine were forcibly removed from their land. Deir Yassin never happened then. Benny Morris is wrong then. [sigh] ;) But hey, the point is not how the European colonials got the land of Palestine - but rather whether the descendant...

shafique

Well he/she can cut and paste which is beyond most Texans. So I'd say Vermont, the sob-story lobbyist capital. You, have a point benwj - but I'm always the optimist, and think it possible to believe that some rednecks have worked out how to use the internet and cut and paste arguments from dodgy we...

Well, Castro shows how effective medieval sieges are at changing those in power ;) One of the side-effects of the boycott/embargo and a direct result of the communist policies, is the great progress they have made in healthcare. They even give scholarships to Americans to study medicine there and ha...

Goodluck Belgianmorrocan - don't take any notice of our young American poster above, he's having a major problem ignoring the threads immediately below this.

Death threats from pro-Israeli nutters against a Member of Knesset who was on board the flotilla: Gaza flotilla activist faces death threats 06.04.2010 | The Guardian Haneen Zuabi, a Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset, has been sworn at by parliamentary colleagues and received death threats s...

More from Comedy/Pirate central. Military: It's your fault.. Politicians: No - it's your fault: Fanbois: It all went to plan - if it only wasn't for those pesky terrorists who jumped in front of bullets to the head (4 times!). Islam is to blame. ;) Military, politicos blame each other for botched Ga...

And Deir Yassin? That wasn't carried out by Israeli soldiers - but by Jewish terrorists, I'd argue. Do you agree? As for Benny changing his mind as he gets older, I see parallels between his revisionism of his own earlier findings (which revised the Israeli spin) with the difference between the earl...

shafique

Careful Humbleman, FD thinks that comparisons of Israeli actions with Nazi actions automatically makes you a Jew-hater. You may wish to point out that this observation has been made by Jewish politicians and intellectuals in the past - notably the Jewish MP (and pro-Zionist) Gerald Kaufman in a stat...

And Deir Yassin? That wasn't carried out by Israeli soldiers - but by Jewish terrorists, I'd argue. Do you agree? The Haganah (the predecessor of the IDF) condemned the attack. But I didn't ask whether the IDF condemned the attack or were compliant in it - in fact I asked whether you agreed that th...

shafique

Sorry to labour the point FD, I didn't ask you whether Deir Yassin was a PR mistake or whether the IDF condemned the slaughter of the villages. I asked: - in fact I asked whether you agreed that the slaughter of the Arab civilians was carried out by Jewish Terrorists. If we agree that Deir Yassin wa...

Well, the news from Comedy Central is that the Pirates of the Meditteranean operation is 'one of the most impressive' carried out by the boys in green (not black, as we can see below) Despite criticism of Israel's PR efforts after the flotilla affair, if some weekend newspapers are an indication, th...

The slapstick continues. The photos of the pirates that were briefly captured were recovered after the Israelis deleted them from memory cards, apparently: In the accompanying article, the paper reported that the photos had been censored and deleted by Israeli fighters aiming to prevent embarrassmen...

FD - do you know whether Benny has taken back what he said in this interview from 2004: Rape, massacre, transfer Benny Morris, in the month ahead the new version of your book on the birth of the Palestinian refugee problem is due to be published. Who will be less pleased with the book - the Israelis...

shafique

You're right - I should have said that up to 250 were slaughtered before the village was cleared of inhabitants. In fact, I should have asked you about whether the remaining villagers and their descendants should be allowed to return to the homes/land they owned. Surely it is understandable why the ...

Huh? What's a crypto Jew?

Are you sure you didn't mean to write 'crying pirate'

Cheers,

Perhaps he is right - has he changed his mind about it recently? I think he could indeed make a good case for the Arab world being barbarian, others may disagree with his view. However, his statements above are about historical records about what happened in 1948, rather than opinions. But seriously...

Oh dear, eh's not going to be happy. The TP Hughes quote above (and others) have been comprehensively dealt with - and Spencer (and by extension eh) has been well and truly punked. http://www.loonwatch.com/2010/06/more-proof-that-robert-spencer-is-an-intellectual-huckster-part-2-spencer-digs-himself...

Hold your horses. I'll deal with your questions (asked after I asked mine) after we've cleared up your answers and I've restated question 3. 1. Do you agree that the up to 250 slaughtered at Deir Yassin was carried out by Jewish Terrorists 2. Do you agree that Palestinians left their homes because o...
