“They say it is not possible to have a world without the United States and Zionism. But you know that this is a possible goal and slogan”

Ah, ok, so his goal is world without the US of A then?
Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

As for the “zionizm” - yeah, they like to play this game where they “have nothing against the jews per se” but consider “zionizm” their enemy instead, bottom line being is that they consider the state of Israel to be a “zionist state”. They must think they are unparalleled masters of disguise lol but of course that shit is beyond transparent.

No, he is postulating that the world can exist without the USA government supporting Zionism – the instance of a specific regime. He is not suggesting that the “countries” or the people themselves be wiped of the face of the planet.

Scared people invent the craziest shit.

Jewbacca, I respect many of the things you write, but how can you deny that the Sabra and Shatila massacres happened? In 1982 the United Nations General Assembly voted on it and declared that it was an act of Genocide… The Kahan commission DID find Ariel Sharon directly responsible… This isn’t propaganda, this is pretty well documented history. Your denying it is kinda like an anti-Semite denying that the Holocaust occurred.

There is innocent blood on both sides, as with EVERY war. I understand that you are Israeli and of course your opinion is biased, but how can you possible deny that Israel has targeted civilians?

I’m not saying the US is any better: my stepfather fought in Vietnam and often laughed at the joke, “How can you shoot women and children? Easy, you just don’t lead them as much!”. It was WAR. Shit happens. Humans are at their WORST during war. I don’t see how you think Israel would be an exception.

As for the whole clusterfuck of a situation between Palestine and Israel I think both sides have their head up their ass. With the Palestinians constantly firing rockets into Israel and with Israel continuing to build “settlements” on the west bank, I don’t see how ANY of this bullshit is ever going to end. What I DO know is that the United States gives BILLIONS of dollars to Israel (www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf) More than 100 Billion in the last ten years. We (the US) try to help negotiate peace, but it seems that BOTH Israel and Palestine do not WANT peace. That’s fine, if it were just between the two countries, but it isn’t.

The United States’ support of Israel has pretty much made the US a target of hatred throughout the Muslim world. We have endured terrorist attacks up to and including 9/11 that have cost THOUSANDS of American civilian lives, yet Israel is still our ally. Israel has REGULARLY withheld intelligence from the US over the past several decades, yet Israel is still out ally. Israel is ALLEGED to have stolen uranium from the United States along with other sensitive information so that it can pursue it’s own nuclear weapons program, independent of the US and yet STILL we are allies… As an American, it DOES seem a bit one sided… but I’m sure I don’t know the full picture. I believe in my representative democracy to make the best decision.

Although many US citizens are blind to American foreign policy and how the world turns, I am not one of them. I see the world with both a critical mind and try to place things in the context of history. I understand the economic interests we have in the Middle East as I drive my “gas guzzling SUV” around town and do not have a problem with my country doing what it must to keep the oil flowing. But let’s keep it REAL, shall we? Israel isn’t a bunch of “saint’s” and neither are we. We want a “foothold” in the Middle East and Israel needs a “big brother” to keep the whole Arab world from wiping them off the face of the planet. It’s a marriage of convenience (cemented by pro-Israeli lobbying efforts). And for the record, I’m FINE with it. But for you to keep denying WELL DOCUMENTED history, and to label anyone who disagrees with you as an Anti-Semite, is kinda hypocritical. We’re all adults here. We don’t need to sugarcoat anything. Keep it real.

And for the record, I am not an Anti-Semite. But I AM an American, and I have the right to objectively form opinions about MY country’s foreign policy and the effect it has on me, my home and MY family.

Now you might disagree with that, but that is a long shot from “drive the Jooos into the sea”.

Which is why I posted in this thread to begin with. I’m not saying one side has any moral high ground to stand on. As I have said, both sides do all sorts of uncool shit, but I just can’t sit back and watch BS be posted about how Israel is the innocent victim and the Palestinians are the blood thirsty animals when there is ample evidence that says otherwise.

“drive ze joos into the sea” was Nasser’s quote before Egypt and other arab countries attacked Israel.
Literally: “We are going to drive the Jews into the sea and wipe them out as a nation”.

Sorry it didn’t quite work out that way dude.

On 11 October 1961 Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion declared in the Israeli Knesset:

'The Arabs' exit from Palestine...began immediately after the UN resolution, from the areas earmarked for the Jewish state. And we have explicit documents testifying that they left Palestine following instructions by the Arab leaders, with the Mufti at their head, under the assumption that the invasion of the Arab armies at the expiration of the Mandate will destroy the Jewish state and push all the Jews into the sea, dead or alive'.

The phrase has been variously attributed by Zionist supporters to Yasser Arafat, Gamel Abdul Nasser, or any other of Israel’s enemies, but none whom I have challenged, including U S Congressman Henry Waxman who made the claim in a letter to me, attributing the phrase to Nasser, have been able to provide any documentation of support for their claim. This 1961 speech certainly predates Arafat’s 1968 ascension to the head of the PLO. The phrase is very much entrenched in the thinking of Israel supporters and is taken as a factual basis for an Arab intent of Genocide and of their own potential for peril.

The speech by Mr. Ben Gurion appears to be the origin of the phrase. A search of the speeches of Gamel Abdul Nasser fails to reveal it, nor does it reveal any other than a pragmatics approach to his dealing with Israel. This phrase is sufficiently dramatic and threatening so that if it was in fact uttered by a significant Arab leader, it would be prominent and easily found in any competent historical treatment, which it is not. The phrase, thus, has a Jewish origin and not an Arab origin. Mr Ben Gurion is the originator of the phrase, in all likelihood.

http://www.counterpunch.org/martin03112005.html

Soooo, as far as we know, that phrase originated with Ben Gurion, Israeli prime minister, spoken in the Knesset, 1961.

Never thought to check that huh, because it sounds so true?

Sorry that it didnt turn out the way you thought it would.

You’re a hypocritical, pompous ass.

First, NO ONE has put Palistinians in ovens and tried to eliminate them from the face of the earth. That’s some equivalency you have there. Must be the new Austrian math, I guess. On second thought, not so new; goes back at least to the Holocaust.

Secondly, the fact that you can refer to the Holocaust as a “booboo” (especially when your country and YOUR OWN FUCKING FAMILY caused that “booboo”) just shows how similar you are to your murdering grandfather. Pieces of shit, both of you.

Thirdly, you love to whine about how justified terrorists are for attacking the US because they’ve been treated so badly by the US. I guess THEIR booboo is REALLY bad, huh.

Fourthly, you ignore the point that NONE of this horrible situation would exist if your gas-oven operating grandfather and his friends and countrymen hadn’t slaughtered so many innocents. If anybody is responsible for the mess the Palistinians find themselves in, it’s you murdering Austrians / Germans (and more specifically, your grandfather(s)). So quit criticizing Isreal and get busy fixing your fuck-up, fuck up.[/quote]

You are an idiot.

Always noone of the Jews living in Israel is a Holocaust survivor, but almost everyone living in Gaza grew up there.

So for you to excuse behavior by saying that their grandfathers were persecuted while you would not accept the same excuse for the 2-3 generations growing up under occupation is just ridiculous.

Also, neither the Germans nor the Austrians are really responsible for their actions because the Romans, Huns, Napoleon, 100 and 30 year war and of course the whole WWI made them have a booboo too.

Finally, let me quote a certain “Chushin”:

Hey, I can do that too:

“[The Palestinians] are beasts walking on two legs.”

– Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, “Begin and the 'Beasts,”’ New Statesman, June 25, 1982.

“The Partition of Palestine is illegal. It will never be recognized … Jerusalem was and will for ever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for Ever.”
– Menachem Begin, the day after the U.N. vote to partition Palestine.

“Any one who speaks in favor of bringing the Arab refugees back must also say how he expects to take the responsibility for it, if he is interested in the state of Israel. It is better that things are stated clearly and plainly: We shall not let this happen.”
– Golda Meir, 1961, in a speech to the Knesset, reported in Ner, October 1961

“This country exists as the fulfillment of a promise made by God Himself. It would be ridiculous to ask it to account for its legitimacy.”
– Golda Meir, Le Monde, 15 October 1971

“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country.”
– David Ben Gurion, quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s "Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.

“Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either. Nahlal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibta; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kefar Yehushua in the place of Tal al-Shuman. There is not a single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.”

– Moshe Dayan, April 1969, Ha’aretz; quoted in Edward Said, ‘Zionism from the Standpoint of Its Victims’, Social Text, Volume 1, 1979, 7-58.

“The past leaders of our movement left us a clear message to keep Eretz Israel from the Sea to the River Jordan for future generations, for the mass aliya (=Jewish immigration), and for the Jewish people, all of whom will be gathered into this country.”
– Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir declares at a Tel Aviv memorial service for former Likud leaders, November 1990. Jerusalem Domestic Radio Service.

“The settlement of the Land of Israel is the essence of Zionism. Without settlement, we will not fulfill Zionism. It’s that simple.”
– Yitzhak Shamir, Maariv, 02/21/1997.

“(The Palestinians) would be crushed like grasshoppers … heads smashed against the boulders and walls.”
– Isreali Prime Minister (at the time) Yitzhak Shamir in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988

“Israel should have exploited the repression of the demonstrations in China, when world attention focused on that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the territories.”
– Benyamin Netanyahu, then Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, former Prime Minister of Israel, speaking to students at Bar Ilan University, from the Israeli journal Hotam, November 24, 1989.

“If we thought that instead of 200 Palestinian fatalities, 2,000 dead would put an end to the fighting at a stroke, we would use much more force…”
– Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, quoted in Associated Press, November 16, 2000.

“I would have joined a terrorist organization.”
– Ehud Barak’s response to Gideon Levy, a columnist for the Ha’aretz newspaper, when Barak was asked what he would have done if he had been born a Palestinian.

“It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization, or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands.”

– Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of militants from the extreme right-wing Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, November 15, 1998.

“Everybody has to move, run and grab as many (Palestinian) hilltops as they can to enlarge the (Jewish) settlements because everything we take now will stay ours…Everything we don’t grab will go to them.”
– Ariel Sharon, Israeli Foreign Minister, addressing a meeting of the Tsomet Party, Agence France Presse, Nov. 15, 1998.

“Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial.”

Ah, ok, so his goal is world without the US of A then?
Awesome, thanks for the clarification.

As for the “zionizm” - yeah, they like to play this game where they “have nothing against the jews per se” but consider “zionizm” their enemy instead, bottom line being is that they consider the state of Israel to be a “zionist state”. They must think they are unparalleled masters of disguise lol but of course that shit is beyond transparent.[/quote]

Yeah, so he wished for the American empire and Israels “regime” to fall, just like the Sowjet empire fell.

Now you might disagree with that, but that is a long shot from “drive the Jooos into the sea”.[/quote]

“drive ze joos into the sea” was Nasser’s quote before Egypt and other arab countries attacked Israel.
Literally: “We are going to drive the Jews into the sea and wipe them out as a nation”.

Sorry it didn’t quite work out that way dude.

On 11 October 1961 Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion declared in the Israeli Knesset:

'The Arabs' exit from Palestine...began immediately after the UN resolution, from the areas earmarked for the Jewish state. And we have explicit documents testifying that they left Palestine following instructions by the Arab leaders, with the Mufti at their head, under the assumption that the invasion of the Arab armies at the expiration of the Mandate will destroy the Jewish state and push all the Jews into the sea, dead or alive'.

The phrase has been variously attributed by Zionist supporters to Yasser Arafat, Gamel Abdul Nasser, or any other of Israel’s enemies, but none whom I have challenged, including U S Congressman Henry Waxman who made the claim in a letter to me, attributing the phrase to Nasser, have been able to provide any documentation of support for their claim. This 1961 speech certainly predates Arafat’s 1968 ascension to the head of the PLO. The phrase is very much entrenched in the thinking of Israel supporters and is taken as a factual basis for an Arab intent of Genocide and of their own potential for peril.

The speech by Mr. Ben Gurion appears to be the origin of the phrase. A search of the speeches of Gamel Abdul Nasser fails to reveal it, nor does it reveal any other than a pragmatics approach to his dealing with Israel. This phrase is sufficiently dramatic and threatening so that if it was in fact uttered by a significant Arab leader, it would be prominent and easily found in any competent historical treatment, which it is not. The phrase, thus, has a Jewish origin and not an Arab origin. Mr Ben Gurion is the originator of the phrase, in all likelihood.

Soooo, as far as we know, that phrase originated with Ben Gurion, Israeli prime minister, spoken in the Knesset, 1961.

Never thought to check that huh, because it sounds so true?

Sorry that it didnt turn out the way you thought it would.

Not only do arabs constantly call for extermination of the jews :

This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades.

but their actions speak for themselves.

So you can keep whining about how they get all misunderstood, I’m not buying it though.

Interwebz is fun ain’t it?

And yes, of course there are hardliners on both sides, no doubt.

It is being reported that Hosni Mubarak will respond to protester demands.

Has anyone seen this video of a van plowing through a crowd of people in Tahrir Square?

Really sad and disgusting:
