Shira is flopping around like a half-in-the-bag halibut on the floor, and with each gaff, floatillas-flytillas she makes the lulz grow stronger. Please keep it going, by all means. I hope that more DUers get a chance to read up on the exploits of the desperate home team. You don't so yourselves any favors with this vaudevillian song and dace.
Yet you come to the rescue.
And you have the temerity to now want to ask strait up questions as if you have some moral superlative?
I'll show you that I am more of a mench than either you or Shira.
Anyway, is it not a fair question worth commenting on?
No. This entire post plus OP, plus its apologistas, are meant to distract and lead away from the Israel/Palestine debate at nearly all times. For one to be so desperate as to point fingers at other human rights abuses, in order to try the move the heat off of Israel's, is underhand; especially since this is the I/P forum.
What is worse is that scootaloo has show up both you and Shira; showing that neither of you have posted anything on the China/Tibet issue until now. Only as a distraction. Only as a distraction from ever admitting that Israel is guilty of human rights abuses, murder, torture and apartheid. You write that I make jokes when that is all either of you have been doing here?
Do you think the Nazi comparison gets used more frequently with respect to Israel than other countries?
Everybody calls everybody else a Nazi. It's overused as an epithet.
Do you think it has to do with the fact that Israel is the Jewish state?
Israel is Israel. I would call it a Jewish Homeland. You can call it the Jewish State, but since it is really only 75% Jewish shouldn't it be called the 75% Jewish State by you?
Truth in advertising and all?
I asked KingD the same question, and there was no answer back worth reading.
I've heard people make comments pointing out that there is some kind of irony about the way Israel treats Palestinians in light of the way the Nazis treated the Jews.
So what? Israelis are human beings: capable of visiting the same horrors that others have done in the past. What was your point?
Were these comments made at DU? If they were then ask the person that made them.
This is germane to the OP on which this thread is based.
The Op is meant as a distraction so that the discussion moves away from the I/P debate.
If you want to seriously engage this question, I'm happy to do so. If you'd rather just make jokes, then knock yourself out.
You don't seriously engage me, ober. If you want jokes then stick with Shira.
