Reply #67: More grandstanding without a straight question

Well done.

Even without me answering it (which I'm still waiting on) you're able to tell me what I'm blissfully unaware of, what I think etc. Says more about you really. Your hatred is exceeded only by your arrogance. You have no idea of my background or personal experience in relation to living with guerilla war and 'terrorism'. Rather than embrace an extra viewpoint in these debates, it suits you better to derail anything that doesn't conform to shiras world, where gazans are born extremists and the regions superpower are the real victims, where justice for the palestinians obviously means israel has to vanish into thin air.

You talk of reality THEN talk about hamas calling for the annhilation of the state of israel. Thats a typical red herring used in this debate. An extremist group calling for its enemies destruction? Say it isn't so Joe. When everybody knows that hamas can call for whatever it wants and THE REALITY (however inconvenient for 99% of your arguments)is israel will still be around pointing its 300 nukes at everybody, despite calls from hamas.

Reality seems to be something you cherrypick along with facts and historical references.

You go back 90 years but don't reference what happened 70 years ago because it doesn't fit your bill. My country had 800 years of crap to overcome and we did it by finally looking forwards instead of backwards. You sit behind your little screen in boston doing the keyboard commander thing, without having to live with either the prospect of hamas terror or israeli collective punishment/blockade. But, y'know, you're the only one with a valid point, of course.

Hamas are committing acts of agression, as are the israelis. The constant cycle of action/reaction has to be broken and I promise you it won't be with an attitude like yours.

Embarrasing really. No wonder I have failed to see you make a single worthwhile contribution to any topic on these threads. Not since the days of dubya murdering the english language by punctuating every sentence with 'terra' have I come across somebody who fails to grasp the nuances of regional conflict so comprehensively.
