Should Israel Exist? A Sovereign Nation under Attack by the International Community [View all] shira Jun 2012 OP

I often question whether the United States should exist Voice for Peace Jun 2012 #1

Poor, little, unloved, defenseless Israel. leveymg Jun 2012 #2

How many billions of dollars will the US give to Israel this year? MrTriumph Jun 2012 #3

Not as many billions that the US wastes on Pakistan, Egypt, and the worthless UN combined... shira Jun 2012 #23

That wasn't an answer, shira. The answer is: Israel & Egypt are the top 2 to get US handouts. MrTriumph Jun 2012 #46

You're wrong. Pakistan gets much more each year. Same for the UN. n/t shira Jun 2012 #48

No, since the Camp David Accords Israel & Egypt... MrTriumph Jun 2012 #50

There's no "if" about whether Pakistan receives more US aid than Israel. They do... shira Jun 2012 #52

Sure. Shadowflash Jun 2012 #4

They use rubber instead of real bullets. aquart Jun 2012 #5

Yet another attempt to define any criticism Israel as antisemitism Bok_Tukalo Jun 2012 #6

There was no attempt to define any criticism of Israel as antisemitism. Dick Dastardly Jun 2012 #16

See Below Bok_Tukalo Jun 2012 #28

Israel is the only nation whose existence is constantly called into question... shira Jun 2012 #25

Is a call for its "destruction" the only criticism leveled at the nation of Israel? Bok_Tukalo Jun 2012 #27

Apartheid isn't merely criticism. It's demonization used only by anti-zionists... shira Jun 2012 #29

And then, you weren't here. MineralMan Jun 2012 #9

Except his facts are correct. aranthus Jun 2012 #10

When someone declares that Israel has no right to exist, MineralMan Jun 2012 #12

I understand that. aranthus Jun 2012 #13

That's not my problem. MineralMan Jun 2012 #17

Resolution 181 is also the basis for a Palestinian state. hack89 Jun 2012 #22

I have a simple rule of thumb. The UN does not count. aranthus Jun 2012 #24

Interesting how quickly lambchop there met the slaughtter n/t azurnoir Jun 2012 #11

Indeed. aranthus Jun 2012 #14

only if you were on the jury or the alerter azurnoir Jun 2012 #15

I was on the jury. Here are the results: MineralMan Jun 2012 #18

Thanks I had no idea who was on the jury or who alerted it azurnoir Jun 2012 #19

"Kosher pizza for this one." - LOL. nt hack89 Jun 2012 #21

Thanks for posting them. aranthus Jun 2012 #41

It was a very easy decision. MineralMan Jun 2012 #44

That's apparent from the 6-0 vote and the comments. aranthus Jun 2012 #56

Just ask Miss Cleo to help you out n/t Dick Dastardly Jun 2012 #20

Meh. bemildred Jun 2012 #26

meh indeed azurnoir Jun 2012 #30

You will notice I have not bothered to respond to the OP at all. bemildred Jun 2012 #31

yes I did note that azurnoir Jun 2012 #32

Yep, good example. nt bemildred Jun 2012 #34

That's not a good example at all, King_David Jun 2012 #35

lets see exactly what is said and perhaps you'll understand why I alerted it azurnoir Jun 2012 #37

appearance nt King_David Jun 2012 #38

so according to you it's okay to say that it looks like Jews control the world azurnoir Jun 2012 #39

It is an excellent example of something just iffy enough to get by. bemildred Jun 2012 #40

The jury system is totally unfair but I love it! oberliner Jun 2012 #42

I prefer to think of it as probabilistic, like quantum mechanics. bemildred Jun 2012 #43

True but i'd wager you would get different results from different juries azurnoir Jun 2012 #45

Since we can select a number of DU members King_David Jun 2012 #47

yes I am quite aware of that azurnoir Jun 2012 #54

I guess so nt King_David Jun 2012 #55

I was being a bit facetious there. bemildred Jun 2012 #57

for myself it's the way of DU3 which I've described as azurnoir Jun 2012 #58

Yep. bemildred Jun 2012 #59

I'll tell you who's advocating for Israel's destruction, and what 'destruction' means... shira Jun 2012 #33

The PLO is advocating for Israel's destruction quick write Obama and Hilary they need to know azurnoir Jun 2012 #36

Uh yeah...even during Arafat's reign. Remember Intifada 2? That was under GW mostly. n/t shira Jun 2012 #49

It's been US policy the past 20 years to fund the PA, and also Hamas indirectly.... shira Jun 2012 #60

so the answer is infact yes azurnoir Jun 2012 #61

You didn't answer me. Do you "know" the PA is genocidally inclined, wanting to destroy Israel? n/t shira Jun 2012 #62

No I do not know anything of the sort azurnoir Jun 2012 #63

Exactly my point WRT the US, UK, and EU, thanks. Just like you, I don't know... shira Jun 2012 #64

so you accuse the US, EU and UK of supporting genocide towards Israel? azurnoir Jun 2012 #65

Don't need to read more books to answer this simple question: Yes clang1 Jun 2012 #51
