The statement is simply not acceptable on DU that Israel doesn't deserve to exist. It never has been, and never will be.


At Mon Jun 25, 2012, 02:46 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Israel has no right to exist.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1134&pid=12698

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

OMG... this needs to go and so does the poster.
He will probably be nuked before this alert is back from the jury, but please hide anyway

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
uh.....yeah. Shadowflash Jun 2012 #7
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
so you are stating that President Obama is currently financing and supporting a azurnoir Jun 2012 #53
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
