I want to be proved wrong of course. I just saw C4 news and cannot believe how tactics that effective at wiping out women and children could be anything other than deliberately targetted, and why? I presume to make sure that in a few years time the population of Gaza will have no men left, and will therefore be up for grabs by more settlers. Am I seeing things that aren't there?

I was a member of the anti nazi league for a long time and went on regular demonstrations with them. You know I hear far more racist remarks about black and asian people than I do anti semitic. I just wish you could understand tigger that being against the plundering of Gaza does not make one anti-semitic. With holocaust day coming up that is the last thing on most people's minds.
If so many Tibetan people had been killed in a bombing campaign by China, I can assure you there would be plenty of threads about it on here.
Its the DEGREE of retaliation by the Israeli government. Surely no-one can defend that...

you want to proved wrong, but if you are, you still won't believe it.

denial isn't just a river in egypt.

good thread to put on 'watch', though, for all the people who think America is the same as 1776 and forget about the 1/3 of its population that is Latino/Hispanic and it's all black and white and they're all racist and all that tripe, though.

ah yes, Menachim Begin. I notice you refer to him tigger. Is that the same Menachim Begin who, as a member of Irgun, blew up the King David hotel in Jerusalem in 1946 and killed 91 people?

Not a terrorist, then but a worthy Israeli leader. Says it all, really.
