No it isn't, I'll bet you can't provide a single scrap of evidence to support this

There are suicide bombers, and there have been 'child' suicide bombers by our standards. But
understand that most suicide bombers labeled as 'childs' are actually 16-17 years old and thats an
adult in Palestinian culture.

I'm not defending the practice at all, i'm just saying you really need to stop spreading misinformation.

Hmmm so many words so little facts:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_suicide_bombers_in_the_Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict

Let's lower the age to 13.

i just searched that entire wikipedia article, not in one place does it say there was a 13-year old suicide bomber and not in one place
does it say families were paid to give away their children as suicide bombers.

so I guess i'll repeat what I said earlier: I'm not defending the practice, but stop spreading misinformation

That's reality. Suicide bombers are bought over there

So according to you jews have to be expelled?

Good luck nazi lover.

This just so embodies everything I hate about arguing with pro-israelis. That's not even remotely close to
what he said and he hasn't said a single thing promoting naziism in any of his arguments.

Comparing the deathes of thousands of Palestinians to the eradication of germs is pretty revolting. 
But the comparison of million jews in gas chambers isn't. Um um. Double standards here.

I've already said the comparison wasn't based on scale, read my posts before responding to them

What's again price of a Palestinian child over there? 14k? to sell him to become a suicide bomber?

That's revolting.

That's such a load of shit

B: Yes, someone scammed me and I'd like my bitcoins back.

A: Bitcoins, you say? How long have you been using bitcoins?

B: Does it matter? I've been hornswoggled in a scam and would like to use your service to get my property back. I'm a taxpayer.

A: We'll decide if you're a taxpayer or not. You sound like a scammer to me. Bitcoins? Isn't that hacker money?

B: Can you help me get my bitcoins back?

A: We'll call the IRS first. We're sending two agents to pick you up for questioning now. Your cooperation is required or you may face charges for interfering with a Federal investigation. Thanks for calling your government. Have a nice day!





honestly i've learned to trust the government to not give a shit if your using a usually illegitimate service for legitimate purposes.

an example is their war on peer-to-peer file sharing. it can be used for legitimate purposes and its actually in many cases more
efficient than the basic client-server architecture, but regardless the government demonizes it and has even passed laws to
restrict it.

Well trust is a vague term

So lets go through the list (I'm an American btw)...


Do I trust my government to do what it promises? Nope...

Do I trust my government to be transparent on non-national-security issues? Nope...

Do I trust my government to place individual rights and freedoms over money? Nope...

Do I trust my governments various parties to not sell out to corporations and media organizations? Nope...

Do I trust my government to give us factual information on the wars we are involved in (such as # of civilian casualties on both sides)? Nope...



I think ima vote no...

Show me a curt where such legislation led to punishment of valid criticism of Israels affairs and I might reconsider...

I really like when people bring up counter-arguments, it's a nice change from the 'bash and run' politics of today. It forces
both sides to either reconsider their argument or strengthen it.

I'll admit, I've heard a-lot about anti-Israeli activists being completely misrepresented, criminalized, and sometimes silenced, but I don't
think I've ever heard of or read about someone actually being legally prosecuted for it.

I did dig up these though:

most of them seem to be half-measures or idle threats though

the comparison to Nazi germany should not be made on the  number of deaths but on the intention of the regime. it is the intention of the zionist to become the dominant race and to have all other races (goyim) as slaves.

for those who are not aware of the protocols of zion it is worth readng to shed some light on many of the world milatary and econominc events since the creation of the state of israel http://www.aztlan.net/protocols.htm

I'll agree with this, I guess it was a generalized comparison. Many of the practices of the two regimes are the same (and that was my point) but the scale of their crimes is vastly different and I recognize that.

How does being an out-right nazi constitute academic freedom?  Roll Eyes

Plus such attitudes are probably outlawed in the campus etiquette anyway.

this:

"While purporting to put the legislature on record in opposition of anti-Semitism on state university campuses, it defines anti-Semitism so widely as to include legitimate political activities in opposition to Israeli government policies."

this is honestly the problem, no one can speak agaisnt Israel because it's almost immediately labeled as being anti-semitic. The two aren't the same thing
314  Other / Politics & Society / Re: CA passes law condemning anti-semitism as Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC report on: September 10, 2012, 09:39:05 PM
At the same time Arabs killed more Palestinians than Israelis in the same time period.

Why do people, when defending either themselves or someone else of a crime, always point
to another party who's done worse?

That's like me murdering someone in cold blood, and then pointing to a convicted serial killer
at my trial and saying "I shouldn't be held responsible because he's done worse".

And another thing, atleast we HEAR about all the horrible things arab-extremist groups like the
Taliban do, but unless you visit low-hit count backwater sites you'll NEVER hear about the
crimes Israel has committed.

Israel is the new nazi germany in so many ways, it's sad that people can't see it

Enlighten me. And really go into the detail of the comparison. Let's start with a simple one.... How many Palestinians did Israeli murder in the last 60 years? Now how many Israelis were murdered.

ok

Quote
since the year 2000
6568 palestinians killed by conflict 1452 of these were children

1096 israelis killed in the conflict 124 of these were children

i've come across the same numbers, different site, same source:

http://www.ifamericansknew.org/stats/deaths.html


and before all these brainwashed pro-Israeli people scream lies, please look at who operates B'Tselem
316  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can a bank you have no business with at all raid your home? No criminal Charges? on: September 10, 2012, 09:05:20 PM
Did anybody hear that story a little while ago about a bank that mistakingly foreclosed on the wrong house?

If I remember correctly, the couple then successfully sued the bank and the bank refused to pay up, so
they hired a company to foreclose on the bank. It was quite funny actually.

Let me see if I can dig up the article for more accurate details

The actual lessons of this story are to 1. never let the government know you're holding metals and 2. the government will always win on its own turf: the courts.

Don't know the details of this particular story, but I couldn't agree with this statement more
