“Whoever is without sin among you, let them cast the first stone.” Now where have I heard that one? Why, from George Bush’s favorite political thinker!

“…once behaved badly” !?

Why the emphasis on their religion? Christians have tortured, mistreated, and slaughtered eachother and others with abandon over the centuries. Why, they’ve even shot guns into the air and trashed the joint — would you headline any of that with “Religion of Love” sneers? Or do you just not admit any group of humans can behave badly, not just those you prefer to demonize?

Glen, plenty of other people are speaking the truth – Robert Spencer, Charles Johnson, Rusty Shackleford, Debbie Schulssel – among others, but thanks just the same.

And dsmith, you can’t really argue with someone as poisoned as James. When his logic is Hiroshima = 9/11 = Nail Bombs Blowing up Israeli Children in Pizza Parlors = Manifest Destiny, you know it’s a waste of breath.

You just have to let them have their fantasy of a utopian planet full of peace-loving Coca-Cola commercial clones. If we’d just gotten to know Mohammad Atta better, as Oprah’s O magazine suggested, I’m sure we could have found some common ground and understanding and avoided that whole little slaughter thing 4 years ago.

It’s idiocy and it betrays the intellectual understanding of a 7 year old. It’s not worth trying.

James, you are delusional. If you really think that the Palestinians will somehow “transform” and step back from their wicked ways just because they get what they want, well, you need a serious reality check.

Their main purpose in this life (and the next ones, apparently) is to KILL THE JOOS! It doesn’t matter that they have their proverbial “homeland” back. It doesn’t matter that every single Jew has moved out of the Gaza Strip. It doesn’t matter that they have received 100% of what they asked for!

The violence will not end. And then what will your excuse for them be?

Israelis Pull Out Of Gaza, Palestinians Enter It Burn And Destroy Everything

In a show of how powerful they are the Palestinians entered Gaza after the last Israeli troops pulled out and began to destroy the synagogues and other buildings. Rather than using the resources that already existed they choose to grind…

Preston, thanks for being one of the only SOB’s with the balls to speak the truth.

Mental exercise: (requires much imagination)
The U.S. is now a relatively low-tech country. For some reason many American Aboriginals, (1st Nations, Indians, whatever), have made a success of themselves in China and push their government for aid. They want their homeland back. So your grandchildren and all your friends grandkids are forcefully evicted from your town/city, and their kids grow up asking why they live in a little strip of hardly-arable land just north of Mexico. They’re told about the great restitution as the Chinese call it, and how when Canada and Mexico tried to help stop it even more land was taken, and now have to live, haunted by their eviction, and the memory of their ancestral fields, or office buildings or whatever.
It’s funny how squalor can lead to less civilized behaviour. So can feelings of resentment and oppression.
And your great-grandchildren would tear down the great longhouses. They would tear down the marks of their oppressors.
As a side-note, just like your forefathers burned the aboriginals villages long ago, and shot guns in the air, and did all sorts of other manly things.
Wise up people, your hatred shows a lack of compassion, which is the only moral form of understanding a situation. If you want people to improve their lot and behaviour, try acting, or talking, like you care they exist. As far as they’re concerned you’d all just as soon see them dead. The only arabs that seem to get any love are the ones helping us ship oil – the rest are not so strangely finding empowerment through “terrorism”. In the U.S. you’d call it freedom fighting, but then you’d never be so unmanly as to kill innocents, right? never a dresden, never a hiroshima, never a missed smart bomb?
not an apologist, i wish it would all stop, but at least we have the luxury of time and access to information to try to understand others – there is a strength that is greater than power or domination.
Final point – I think the truth is we either live in our society built on global and domestic inequality, fueled by cheap labour and resources, and can be happy for it only by preserving a very narrow world-view (the underlying perspective evidenced above), or we face up to our hypocrisy and in an attempt to create a peaceful world we no longer want more than others, more than our “share”, such that the resentments and hatreds dissipate.
But then we’d have to be almost Christian, and god knows there isn’t a real one to be found.

The entire culture of Palestinians is sociopathic. But of course no one could ever admit that publicly, so we have to pretend they are oppressed saints while we keep funneling money into the nasty little terror-haven rathole they will make out of Gaza.
