An interesting development over in the States. The right wing darling Glen Beck is flirting with anti-semitism it appears. The ADL has come out against his attacks on Soros, calling them 'Offensive and over the top'. He's no stranger to attacking Islam, and therefore for him now to extend his prejud...

shafique

LOL - wow, thanks dds. Eye-opening stuff. It will be interesting to see how much anti-Semitism Glen Beck is allowed to get away with just because he is right wing and his previous prejudices were against Muslims. But you can almost imagine the logic infinity loops that some American right wing must ...

He hates 9/11 and Katrina victims..:
"I didn't know I could hate victims FASTER than the 9/11 victims"

So, it's Muslims, 9/11 victims, Katrina victims, Obama, Jews...

Cheers,

Excellent post MCL. You may have noticed I had a '?' in the title of the thread - and it was indeed the dynamic of Beck being right-wing and yet being labelled anti-semitic. I did enjoy the youtube compilation for its comedic value - what he did in his youth is less interesting, but the 9/11 and Kat...

^I second that - v funny, and yet treats the subject head on. :) (A word of advice- don't watch the trailer, I saw it before I saw the trailer and I'm glad I did - the trailer is a bit too revealing IMO) "I just took a photo of my face, and it definitely isn't my confused face" LMAO Cheers...

More from the Economist - this is from an article on 18 November: Two states or one? Everyone understands, says a senior Israeli minister, that this is the core issue behind the row over the freeze. When ministerial hawks such as Benny Begin (who belongs to Mr Netanyahu’s Likud party) or Avigdor Lie...

FD - What has this 'belief' about Palestinians have to do with the $3 billion bribe that the US is offering the Israelis? Perhaps you are mistaken on this point (that it is relevant to subject of the bribe) as well as your previous belief in this thread that the bribe of planes had to be paid for (w...

The on-going saga has a new twist. As we go past 150 days of avoidance, the excuses on JW are becoming more desperate.. click through to the loonwatch page for details.. the comments are well worth reading too. :) Robert Spencer of JihadWatch Becomes Desperate Against LoonWatch .. http://www.loonwat...

An Israeli member of Knesset, and Deputy Speaker, denounces the court sentence passed on two soldiers who used a 9 year old boy as a human shield. Note that a vocal number of Israelis opposed the trial of these soldiers (supporting their actions) - but I'd like to believe that the majority of Israel...

^ I agree - one or two examples would have been enough. They do like to be thorough though... but as you say, this sometimes lessens the impact. (I skipped through to the comments after a few examples... always fun to see what JihadBob has to say..

Dattaswami, You do often post interesting articles that are not too long - however, you don't leave enough time to discuss or even last long when you start discussing the issues raised. The scatter gun approach of numerous cuts and pastes will just turn people off. This comes from a prolific poster ...

shafique

Interesting that the objection seems to be with the Deputy Speaker's choice of words used to condemn the IDF's decision and not the crime itself. But, you are right eh - perhaps we could construct a reality where the race of the child did not matter and that the IDF soldiers are just immoral soldier...

shafique

Kanelli - I get your point that the crimes may just be against Palestinian's in the occupied territories rather than against non-Jews. I think that's a stretch.. but a valid viewpoint. Do you disagree with the politician's view that the soldiers should have been jailed for the crime (whether it was ...

shafique

The ultra-orthodox in Israel are a thorn in the side of Israeli society it seems. I get the fact that they go out on the streets to demonstrate in favour of racial segregation in schools (between Jews of European and Middle Eastern descent) - I even get the fact they don't want to give back land cap...

shafique

The criticism is of the Israeli military judicial system - it's hard to comment on the crime without commenting on the 'Israeli' part. I would disagree that the crime can be generalised to any conflict. I'd like to think that if British, US or Canadian soldiers were found guilty of the same crime, t...

shafique

^lol

Photoshop has a lot to answer for!

Anyway, it looks like the EU is bailing out Ireland, and the Irish man-on-the-street isn't happy - and there are calls for the Taoiseach, Brian Cowen to go (so he may end up like his picture above!

)

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

In this case, though, kanelli - the crime was brought out into the open and the charge of racism is against the IDF court (not the soldiers). I do agree with the Speaker's conclusions - but I can also see the alternative viewpoint that it is just criminal lapse and not down to hating non-Jews. I'd l...

shafique

^Those would be the ultra-ultra orthodox - which is a paradox amongst the ultra-orthodox. (Not familiar with the Mea She'arim, but have posted about the NETUREI KARTA a few times now). But, you're right - not all Israelis want to hold on to land captured in 1967 - secular or orthodox. Now.. back to ...

shafique

You've lost me now. Have you spoken to the fraudsters and worked out that they are all against Israel's continuing occupation - or is a standing assumption that anyone who does anything bad and happens to be a Jew must be compared to Ahmadinejad (or some other Muslim?). I couldn't see in the article...

shafique

Do the fraudsters live in those neighbourhoods - all it says the offices looked after education in those neighbourhoods. You're not making assumptions again FD - tut, tut. But if you do have evidence that the fraudsters do support an Israeli withdrawal - then I'll stand corrected. Otherwise, it just...

What no one has commented on yet is the fact that some Israelis think the soldiers deserve a medal! National Union MK Michael Ben Ari praised the convicted soldiers and condemned their demotion. "The judicial lynch perpetrated on the Givati heroes is a sign of surrender to the enemies of Israel...

Thanks eh - this is indeed a cause for concern - children shouldn't indeed be taught hateful, distorted views. Thanks too for quoting the bbc article - I can only say I agree with the Imam who has the last word, and the MP who points out that these particular schools aren't representative of the ver...

shafique

You dug up a thread from almost 4 years ago to try and bad-mouth Robert Fisk! On the Iraq war? And by producing a bar graph that Fisk doesn't mention, or imagining what Fisk may have said..? Why not actually refer to Fisk's article - which states Saddams crimes, who supported them and the historical...

You didn't read the information in the links did you? When you do, let me know. You really shouldn't believe the filtered info you get from Bob Spencer and his pals.

LOL - as I said, when you have read and addressed the info about US support of Saddam's regime, I'll be happy to discuss this further (including the US supply of chemical weapons). http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Iraq_during_the_Ir...
