The offensiveness isn't the problem as much as all the insults are just a waste of time. I want to trade facts and arguments and it's hard to find someone to do that with on this topic. I am not intellectually dishonest. That's for sure, but I certainly need to be more informed. So inform me. That's fine. I also am not anti-semitic or a self-hating Jew, or a liberal or any of the other silly insults that people throw around to end discussion.What's intellectually dishonest is the assumption that Jews are always wonderful and Arabs are always bad. That presumption needs to be suspended at least for a few minutes if anyone is to break out of the rigid destructive thinking on this matter.The economic embargo started after Gaza elected Hamas, and before any violence by Hamas. The violence followed the embargo. That's important. Now why did Gazans electe Hamas? Polls showed that they perceived Hamas as the less corrupt party. The West thinks of Hamas purely as a terrorist group. Netanyahu makes sure of that. But 90% of their work is social service. And like any group of people they worry about food and medical care and Hamas is better at delivering that. You may ask, would I vote for a party that also threatens Israel? No because that would be stupid. I didn't say the Gazans are smart. But also, threats in the Arab world are a dime a dozen. They don't take these things so seriously. US leaders are very careful with words. That's not how life is in the Arab world. Something like 80% of Gazans said they want Hamas to change its position on Israel.Now what about this charter. Have you ever seen the Likud charter. It's the same thing basically. This charter was written by two guys decades ago. And who cares what they wrote. You think Egypt likes Israel? But we have had peace with them for 40 years. You think Greece likes Turkey? All kinds of countries live side by side even as they hate each other. I say, give them their own country, don't blockade them, and if they attack you it's war. But what we have now is not war. It's a modern military dropping bombs (that they didn't make) on civilians.

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions - by Megila

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions. He was the one who made up the story of those Gedolim signing a paper was the Medinah is the aschalta degeulah, and he was the one who doctored the story of the meeting of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah in 1937 where he left out the poiastion of people like Rav Ahron Kotler. He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

All That Remains

All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948 Paperback – April 13, 2006 by Professor Walid Khalidi, of Oxford and Harvard Universities (Editor). This authoritative reference work describes in detail the more than 400 Palestinian villages that were destroyed or depopulated by Israel in 1948. Little of these once-thriving communities remains: not only have they been erased from the Palestinian landscape, their very names have been removed from contemporary Israeli maps. But to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in their diaspora, these villages were home, and continue to be poignantly powerful symbols of their personal and national identity. The culmination of nearly six years of research by more than thirty participants, this authoritative reference work describes in detail the more than 400 Palestinian villages that were destroyed or depopulated during the 1948 war. Going beyond the scope of previously published accounts, All That Rema
