Speaking of Israel...

Reminds me of those Jack Straw comments about Arab Individuals preying on the 'easy meat' White Girls.

Reminds me of those Jack Straw comments about Arab Individuals preying on the 'easy meat' White Girls.

That comment was somewhat miss-reported, as Jack Straw was making the point (quite accurately, I think) that a section of the Muslim community see white, non Muslim, girls as "fair game" for things they would never allow to be done to Muslim girls.

This is not news, nor is it a specifically Muslim problem - you only have to look at the shameful way the American G.I.'s behaved with women from Allied Countries to see the problem is endemic to all male cultural groups everywhere - although not all men.

I see your point. In my circles at least its not quite as derogatory as the word "whore" its just the word used to describe non-Jewish women, but still certainly not a "good" term to use.

Anyways more on topic, the death toll is now ~425 - 20.

Well, if you want to marry out, I invite you to consider why the Jewish community has a specific word for non-Jewish women.

Death toll is absurd - this is like Lebanon all over again. As soon as one of Israel's neighbours shows any signs of progress they flatten them.

Israel is not only the focus for all Islamists in the region, it actively suppresses any positive development.

Also a word for non-Jewish men. Basically all non-Jews. Were pretty xenophobic Id say.

What do you mean by "progress"?

Meanwhile the Palestinian death toll reaches 348 with 2700 injured. Many women and children. So do you think it's unreasonable for the families of those dead to cheer the news of 13 dead Israeli soldiers?

I thought it was past 425 now?

Either way, the Palestinians will cheer the deaths of the Israelis and the Israelis will cheer the deaths of the Palestinians. And the cycle continues.

This thread is so lovely. Too many people on their high pedestals. I guess it sounds too cool to be all wise and smart about people dying else where.. they're just animals killing each other, at the end of the day. Never mind you could very well be in these people's shoes, if it weren't for your "lucky" place or time of birth.

I particularly enjoy the "only possible solution" suggested by one of the members.

In short, get real. 10 is not the same as 1, no matter how you spin it. You can't just take things from people, that's called stealing, and if you do, you better expect they won't be happy about it, and never will be. Kill them? Well if this was a few hundred years ago that would probably slip just fine [think Amerika?], but no, your civility denies that doesn't it? Unless stealing things is fine, or killing people is fine if they're not fine with you stealing their possessions.

Keep going though, I'm feeling enlightened and intellectually bettered, by the post.
