Neither did I!

That guy was a jew and now is a christian.

Eros is a planet destroyer.

Its the 2nd largest near earth object that we know of and considered to be much larger then what killed the dinos.

I'm not too worried about world politics right now and I might not make it back to burning until perhaps 2011 or 2012. I just want to have some fun on the playa before the bang.

laughing my skinny nazi heterosexual jew ass off!!!

[Apollonaris Zeus]

Some jews made the best nazis doing it for the Fatherland: until they rounded them up.

They almost got Hitler too before his homo ass was blown up.

As a jew do you think Israel is a real true friend of the USA or its just that they see the USA as a sugar daddy?

The bombing of the USS Liberty shows the true Israel- a relationship of convenience.

If it came down to choosing sides Mr. Homo Nazi, which will YOU choose!

And if 2012 does happen, remember if it wasn't for Israel, then there wouldn't have been a Jesus, a christian church and there would have been 2000 years of tech advancement and our little asses would have colonized the solar system. Have a space station only give us a chance of surviving the collision if it can survive the ejecta orbiting the earth. But the odds say it is impossible.

This is from an old article;
"WWIII Is Coming 'Whether They Like It Or Not': Top Sharon Aide Arizona Daily Star, Tucson Saturday, April 27, 2002"
This is the part that I think is kinda funny;
"2-day tour
of the United States to promote the purchase of Israel Bonds.
The bonds are part of a program that began in 1951, in which
securities are sold to individuals and corporations to finance
economic growth in Israel.

"The Israeli government pays them back . . . The collateral is
the eternity of the Jewish people,'' Gissin said, dismissing an
April 1 Newsweek story that questioned the future of his country.

"We believe the state of Israel will continue to exist forever.
Therefore, it's a sure investment."

We shall see.

[Apollonaris Zeus]

Israel could be around for ages if they just honor the UN agreements and work to a two nation existance.

As far as an investment, that all depends if they can exist without US aid and be productive. The aid at present levels might not be around after the amount of money we need to spend on our stimulus plans. We need another 1.2 Billion injected into our economy.

Just hope that Israel will be a true partner to peace and not one of financial and military convenience.

But can we trust them?

Israeli soldiers: 'No clear red lines' in Gaza war

By STEVE WEIZMAN – 49 minutes ago


http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/art ... gD99F2RCO0

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli soldiers who fought in last winter's Gaza War say the military used Palestinians as human shields, improperly fired incendiary white phosphorous shells over civilian areas and used overwhelming firepower that caused needless deaths and destruction, according to a report released Wednesday.

The testimonies were by far the strongest allegations to come from war veterans that the army used excessive force during the three-week offensive and echoed claims already leveled by Palestinian and human rights groups. The military rebutted the report, saying the accounts were anonymous and impossible to verify.

The accounts of 26 war veterans were collected by Breaking the Silence, an organization of Israeli army reservists critical of their country's treatment of Palestinians. They described demolishing buildings, vandalizing homes and using more than essential firepower, given the relatively light resistance they encountered. One said the army needlessly used white phosphorous, a masking agent that can cause severe burns, for smokescreens. Others said regulations for opening fire were vague, and that soldiers were expected to do whatever was necessary to protect themselves.

"There were no clear red lines," one soldier told the group. "If you're not sure, kill. Fire power was insane," said another.

Military officers have acknowledged that rules of engagement were relaxed to minimize army casualties but insisted civilians were never targeted.

Israel launched the blistering offensive last December after thousands of rocket attacks by Palestinian militants on southern Israel over an eight-year period. More than 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 900 civilians, were killed in the fighting, thousands of homes were destroyed and Gaza's infrastructure was battered, according to Gaza health officials and human rights groups. Israel puts the death toll closer to 1,100 and says most were armed fighters. Thirteen Israelis were killed, including three civilians who died from rocket fire.

Wednesday's report was sure to fuel a debate that still rages six months after the offensive over whether Israel violated the rules of war. International rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have said the degree of force and heavy civilian death toll constituted war crimes, and the U.N. has launched a probe, headed by a respected war crimes prosecutor, into the actions of Israel and Hamas. Human rights groups say Hamas committed war crimes by firing rockets at civilian areas in Israel.

Israel maintains that responsibility for the carnage lies with Hamas, which it says cached ammunition in schools and mosques, blended in with the general population and used civilian areas and public buildings for cover.

The Israeli military said it "regrets the fact that yet another human rights organization is presenting to Israel and the world a report based on anonymous and general testimonies, without investigating their details or credibility." The military also said that since no identifying details were given, it was impossible to verify the accounts. It urged soldiers to come forward and register official complaints.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak reiterated his belief that the Israeli military "is one of the world's most moral armies and operates according to the highest moral code."

Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas government in Gaza, said the report "reflects the crimes committed in Gaza," and called on "human rights bodies and international groups" to put Israel's leaders on trial.

Wednesday's 110-page report, which also included videotaped testimonies in which soldiers' faces were blurred out, did not represent a cross-section of the army. Rather, they were troops who approached the group or were reached through acquaintances of group members. Two were junior officers and the rest were lower-ranking personnel. It did not examine Hamas' actions.

Many questioned the overwhelming use of force. One soldier said the army used weapons like mortars and white phosphorous "to show off its strength." Another soldier said white phosphorus artillery shells were used to ignite a house suspected of housing munitions. "The house went up in flames," he said.

Israel has said it used white phosphorus munitions only outside of crowded areas and only as a smokescreen to protect forces. But New York-based Human Rights Watch says Israel fired white phosphorous shells indiscriminately over densely populated areas in what amounts to a war crime.

Breaking the Silence said it decided to protect the identity of the soldiers, noting that many are still in the military and could face punishment for speaking out. But spokesman Mikhael Manekin said the accounts included enough information for the army to figure out which units were involved.

"If there is ever an inquiry, the witnesses will gladly testify," he said. An internal military probe earlier this year found no systematic wrongdoing on the part of the army.

A few other soldiers have come forward with similar second-hand testimony since the operation. But overall, the Israeli public believes the Gaza operation was necessary to halt the rocket fire and think their military is singled out for unfair criticism.

Some testimonies provided a glimpse at the complex battlefield the soldiers faced as they pushed into densely populated territory, fearing booby-trapped houses and alleyway ambushes and unable to tell civilians from combatants. Hamas had promised to make Gaza a "graveyard" for the Israelis.

One soldier quoted his commander as saying, "I am not willing to allow a soldier of mine to risk himself by hesitating."

But most focused on what they saw as improper behavior, like the vandalism of Palestinian property or the use of civilians as human shields — a practice the army itself has banned.

"Sometimes the force would enter while placing rifle barrels on a civilian's shoulder, advancing into a house and using him as a human shield. Commanders said these were the instructions and we had to do it," one soldier said.

Another said that soldiers would shoot at houses and water tanks from boredom.

"At one point, an officer decided to give a grenade-throwing training exercise. He put the soldiers in a house and they threw grenades inside until it was completely destroyed," he said. Other accounts described soldiers drawing obscene graffiti on the walls of occupied houses, or using bulldozers to systematically destroy homes.

You are joking right?

The news came from the AP wire first.

Read the article.

As far as credibility goes, lets see, we have Israeli news then we have AP wire.

Which are we gonna trust more?

[Oldguy]

I do not believe associated press writers are always unbiased or even truthfull. Many things go unreported. Many items are simply hearsay. Many governments control their press and manipulate newsfeeds...Overt and covert psyops can be discerned by carefull reading of many diverse sources. We are very fortunate in this nation to have access to first hand and unmassaged reports. I encourage everyone to think for yourselves, it is the American Way, maybe even the Playa Way.

[DVD Burner]

I do not believe associated press writers are always unbiased or even truthfull. .

You sir are living in denial.

[Kinetik V]

As a voracious news junkie I put more faith and credibility into items from the AP than most other sources in the world. As for anything to do with Israel, considering the potential for propaganda I trust the Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com/ As for the Israeli News site that was linked to, it looks like a collection of RSS feeds and that's about it...I'm not impressed by it at all and would likely dismiss it without much more thought.

One more thing...critical thinking...I always like to question the source, and have an idea who's money is backing the media I'm reading...that way I know what bias / slant I can expect and adjust my bullshit detector accordingly. I wish I wasn't in the minority on thinking this way as too many people like their media spoonfed to them.

[Oldguy]

I have not fully trusted American media since 1968. War reporting has not changed much since then. Domestic posts are not much better, IMHO. Yes, I'm no baby who wants to be feed pablum.

Who really cares!

The fact of the matter is Israel and those that believe in Israel are fucked up.

PERIOD!

Fact: Israel has lied about everything they have done for decades.

Black people have contributed more to society than any will evr admit. Latins have also and so have Asians.

None of that matters when it comes to what Israel is doing in the middle ease.
They are the fuck ups of the world and are the main reason behind most of the worlds wars.

AIIZ

Correction: 1.2 Billion should be 1.2 Trillion.

It says Jews in the title of the thread so that encompass all things Jewish. The thread says nothing about negros or latins. So you want to start one on Italians- they are the true latins.

On a final note, it is sad that the current admin in Israel doesn't want a lasting peace with the partition of Jerusalem. Se we wait until the next admin. After 4,000 years. Israel hasn't learn the lessons of the past and repeats them increasing world antisemitism. The US is wise to their agents in American Government after the Iraq war.

Zeus, there's never been any argument that the jews have made great contributions to the advancement of man and society. Somewhere along the line in their quest for control and superiority, some of them have lost their humanity. Yes, the (Michelson-Morley) experiment was / is very important. It proves aether drift.
If you do some serious research, you will find that the Semitic jews are not the problem. It's the Russian jews,,, the Khazars who are making all the trouble. There are very few ethnic Semitic jews in power in israel. Just as in the US, the Russian jews are dominating the halls of power.
It's become very obvious lately that much of israel is controlled by Russian mafia. The same is true in GOV. It's the murdering Khazars that are screaming for extermination. The Semitic jews got along fine before in Palestine. The Russian butchers are giving all of Judaism a bad name.

If you look like your avatar, I'd say that you look tasty rather than evil.

Chicken and dumplings for me. Dough balls made with enriched white flour, not matso, please. I've got 10 pounds of frozen chicken legs to defrost and consume this month. I got to clear my small freezer to freeze water bottles the last week of August. I finished the last of my frozen burritos and chimichangas last week. I start using up my frozen hamburger tomorrow, I think I'll make tacos... I've got some frozen freestone peaches and some blueberries to use up also...The hotdogs and sausages can stay in the freezer door, or maybe I can BBQ them on the playa third or fourth day. Sure, hotdog Thursday...

You must have a damn good freezer if it works in hell.

dan if that was true then why are american semitic jews supporting them. Where does the Ankinazis stand or are you lumping them with the russian jews?

only if you wear it to BM. The PETA people will come after you!

Stop with the food unless you bring falafels to the playa! I'm on a diet.

I'm sure that I'm doing lots of lumping. I just don't have the time to de-lump. The jews,, like the catholics are masters of throwing around guilt. My sis-in-law is a jew from New York. She was telling me how the israelis have bent over backwards to accommodate and help the arabs. With that kind of propaganda, I don't even bother to talk to her. Propaganda and guilt together work wonders.
We're getting some tasty thread drift. I'm imagining Liz as she is in her avatar,,, plastered with Chicken Kiev,,, soaked in cordon-bleu sauce,,,,, being chased by pontificating PETA pranksters. She trips and falls into an enormous vat of warm angel hair pasta. The PETA people run by and she ends up feeling like Jane Fonda in the Orgasmatron from Barbarella.
How's that for thread drift?
