If you’ve not seen CommonCraft “In Plain English” videos, I’ve written about them in the past here and showed off many of them. Lee Lefever and team have a simple means of explaining issues that are sometimes quite difficult to…

Look through this blog and look at the various people that have commented against my own views. I HAVE NEVER censored, editted or otherwise changed a users post.

You are the first.
It took me about 1.5 hours to respond to your post on this post, explaining several times that if you are going to post here and another user (or me) takes the time to answer you paragraph by paragraph point by point then you should have the courtesy and do the same.

In other words: The comments section is a place of dialogue. As I’ve said many times – you can come and post and post and post. I DO NOT CARE HOW CONTROVERSIAL OR ABSURD your statements so long as you BACK THEM UP.
To state “Israel does this or that” without even attempting to back it up (”Israel targets children as a matter of policy“, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? AND WHERE DO YOU GET THESE OBSCENE IDEAS!? Where ever did you get this idea? Wwhere is your backup, you seem very confident!!! I replied to you the first and second time, and all you do is type out another empty post, no response to me, just another unsupported, unexplained blurb – from a person who seems to think the comment second is her own blog (it ain’t!).

ThAT SAID: I hope you will come back, and I hope you have the respect and integrity to answer somebody that has taken every point you made and answered to it.
Comments are for commenting ANYTHING in the post, or replying to what another poster said…. It’s not a platform for whatever you want to say… Of course, it’s a platfrom for discussion, so if you reply to what is asked of you, or to replies to your claims then you are welcome.

Right now it seems like you just want to waste my time. You write, I take an hour+ to reply to what you’ve said and then you respond to what I’ve said with a totally unrelated rant that has nothing to do with the post or other comments.
If you are serious and think you know what you are talking about why oh why would to not take the opportuniy to respond (btw: how do you think you look and how do you “honor the cause” by posting random facts and by ignoring the response (my guess: you can’t, so you post another rheotric filled post.

I welcome you, I would even restore your last post ( I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to respond to it and refute every claim you make, but I’m not wasting another hour if you have no interest in responding) if you answer the other two posts I replied to – I can’t waste my time or bandwidth answering people who can’t even stand up for the views they claim…

The comments section is not meant to be a sounding board for Ms. Rachel Pine – if that’s your real name… If you are so sure about this topic, I challenge you to a debate… You can start by answering the other post (we have a notify me of followup area)…

I can understand not wanting to reply after a few rounds, but do use a comments field as a “platform” is absurd.

I will answer those falsehoods I did not correct last time.

A question first (as I have a feeling you don’t even read what you supposedly respond to)..
If Israel is so bad, how come it kills so few and has allowed over 5000 rockets to land on its people without retaliating?
Why is there one Arab or Persian left breathing in the whole MidEast. Israel could wipe out Jordan, Gaza/Judea/Samaria and Syria in one nation? Even Iran is not so much a threat (no airforce, pathetic ground force, respectable rockets but Israel has the Arrow2 + Oren Yarok.
————-
If they, with their history, can kill hundreds of children at will, and then give an excuse that these 400 were held up as human shields by their mothers and fathers, is to turn truth, logic, reason and all humanity, on its head.
——————————
PLEASE EXPLAIN?! What do you mean by “their history”… DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THAT WHICH YOU SPEAK?! Hamas has implicated again and again and again of using human shields and escaped Palestinians (those in Judea as no nation will allow them entry, or those that escaped elsewhere…have spoken out against them.;

Hamas has targetted and murdered MANY children – they have targetted discos not even near any military base they use suicide bombers (often the mentally retarded, ill, children wear the suicide vest) on buses full of children and the serial-bombing of Sderot & Ashdod are war crimes. They are targetting civlians… THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL & HAMAS is Hamas will ALWAYS seek MAXIMUM CIVILIAN DEATHS. Both on their side (naive people like you makes that an effective weapon) and of course on Israel’s!

Say what you want about Israel but you will never find any military policy or proof that the IDF targets civilians… These civilians were notified and either due to Hamas dictatorship or the fact that Egypt closed its borders, some could not escape while others opted to stay. THEY WERE NEVER TARGETTED NEITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THIS MOST RECENT ACTION. All an enemy army is responsible for is allowing people to flee (NOT INTO ISRAEL OF COURSE, a nation is not responsible for a population that once to see it annihalted!) and doings it’s best to avoid civilian casualties ISRAEL DID ALL THIS AND MORE…Please counter argue if you can disprove this, I want to know …

“You make statements that claiming Palestinians” using children as shields sounds illogical. Such a statement is an outright declaration of your TOTAL IGNORANCE OF THE REGION, THE RELIGION, THE HISTORY OF HAMAS and it’s stated, WELL DOCUMENTED terror campaign’s going back decades (not to mention their allies and their founding terror group from Egypt “the Islamic Brotherhood” (who Ayman Al Zawahiri was a leading member (LOOK IT UP!)! EVERY SINGLE PART OF THEIR CULTURE ENCOURAGES THIS! Tv, religion, culture and popular culture is all about Shehade in Gaza. WHE A SUICIDE BOMBER DETONATES HIM OR HERSELF IN A disco or cafe the MOTHERS THROW PARTIES… Yes PARTIES!!! They are actually called “WEDDINGS” by the Arabs of Gaza, the whole area gives out sweets and salutes & thanX the beaming, proud mother. On ARab TV (if you can’t find videos, I can, let me know and I’ll forward you to them, or them to you) they ‘interview’ 3 and 4 year olds, encouraging them when they make statements like “Jews are pigs and apes” and “Jews are inherently evil” – this is not rare but daily. Parents have given their kids for Shehade missions, many turn in kids that are mentally retarded or extremely young (also have pics of that on this blog). Palestinian “celebrities and role models” include mothers that have “valiantly sacrifices” more than 1 child… BTW: These attitudes started the conflict and they keep it going.

As an American citizen one has to wonder how you reconile with a force the hides behind & abuses children through their television programming (look up Farfur, Nahul the Bee and Assud the Rabbit), they brainwash them in schools, they advertise their terror force by handing “martyr posters” on every block and in classrooms… Is it a case of immorality OR are you simple relying on soundbytes instead of in depth, varied sources.

They are a terrorist enemy, one that simply seeks to kill Jews. (don’t take my words for it, read the Hamas Charter)GAZA IS JEW FREE, EVEN JEWISH GRAVES WERE MOVED – SO EXPLAIN WHAT HAMAS WAS FIGHTING (Asked before, no answer) when they fired 5000+ rockets at Israeli civilians? Explain who they treat their own civilians when not one bomb shelter has been built.

As for your shock: ASK YOURSELD WHY SO FEW “PALESTINIANS” ESCAPED when Israel dropped hundreds of thousands of pamphlets, phone called people in buildings etc. (if you want to challenge this fact- I DARE YOU TO DO SO)

410 defenceless children were killed by heavily armed Israeli troops in Gaza, using tanks, missiles
———–
As I explained previously – when an armed group denies people the ability to escape and/or endangers them by using “Sancturies for civilians:” as a combat tactic, when they abuse ambulances as a menas of moving terrorists or when they shoot missles out of UNWRA SCHOOLS then LEGALLY, MORALLY AND ETHICALLY THEY ARE AT FAULT.

And you are wrong when you say the majority were civilians… In previous investigation it has been found that Hamas falsifies fatalities as people like are naive enough to believe a genocidal (read their Charter, they talk of Jews, Christians and other infidels worldwide, never Israelis – in one instance the “documentation” had names duplicate – ON THE SAME DAMN FORM (lol! sighhh)

————————-
This was an atrocity by whatever name you wish to call it.
————————
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: You would protest a country the protects it’s civilians, so you surely would object to another nation fight on those people’s behalf… ARE YOU SAYING YOU WOULD PROTEST THE ALLIES IN THEIR WAR AGAINST HITLER?!
Do you realize what you are saying… The only reason he didn’t get away with genocide, is that after MANY years and SEVERAL MILLION had been MURDERED, other nations stepped in (they were extremely late . Their actions suprassed any Israeli action on a tenfold (could be 100 fold) in its brutality, deathtoll and planning (ie to minimize civilian casualties).
The Germans, unlike Hamas, did not make a habit of hiding their men behind women and children so the allies by you definition committed MANY MANY MANY attrocities! Read up on Dresden, get some education on what war is, and what weapons are (no such thing as a terrorist seeking missle).

As I asked you before: if I held a stranger in front of you with my right hand pointed at your family and the left holding the human shield WHAT WOULD YOU DO?! What about after I shot your brother in the knee (extremely painful, he’s be bawling in front of you, your mother would lose her mind, and then I’d shoot the next member of your family in the gut, what then?

So-called pacifists like you make rash decisions based on media soundbytes. Beyond the past 1-3 years do you have even an iota of background on the subject? Do you realize ARAB HATRED OF JEWS IS THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD?! Do you know of Muhammed genocide of Khyber? The Grand Mufi’s Nazi affiations, the MANY ARABS STILL AFFILIATED TO THE NAZI IDEOLOGY (Baath party of Syria & Iraq, various Syrian political parties and MANY MORE)

cluster bombs, banned white phosphorus and guns

Everything shown here shows a person too reliant on MoveOn type rheotric and farworse, you seem to take it at face value…. Had you looked up a source or questioned the authors you would realize such information libelous, so false as to be criminal.

White Phosphorus is NOT ILLEGAL
Ask American soldiers throughout the years, even those in Iraq & Afghanistan (they do use them). Ask various armies (if not all) within NATO (they use them)…. HECK : ask a bloody lawyer versed in the rules of war.
WP is LEGAL LEGAL LEGAL when used for illumination & smoke. This is how it is used because quit frankly: that’s what it is good for because that is what it was designed to do… WP is NOT GOOD at killing!!! If you had payed attention to any of the various videos showing Israel’s use you can see that it’s being used exactly as was designed. IN every video you see a projectile rise high up into the sky and then disperse into 7+ pieces that immediatly start to burn up high and then fall to the ground very slowly. The pieces that fall burn ultra bright due to WP. Why do they start burning so high AND fall slow? illumination or smoke. THis is not a projectile that “explodes”, it does not release massive amounts of energy and thus is not an effective killer. You can do the job far more simply and far cheaper using convetional bombs (Read in other post how this again invalidates the “Israel is evil” argument, Israel spent 100 times the funds it needed – guided munitions are expensive – the same job could have been done far safer using artillery (Israel didn’t use this cheap munition because it MAY have caused more casualties), it send in ground troops

The fast majority of these “children” are the legal & moral & of course legal responsibility

FINALLY:
Governments are supposed to look after their people, how do you reconcile with this fact? What is your opinion on the fact the most combatants were killed as a result of being used as human shields for a force of cowards who hide behind women’s dresses and children’s toys!?

ANSWER TO THAT…
How is it you have nothing to say about this post?

What is your outrage over the fact that Hamas has been caught stealing products & food meant for the people?
Your ilk loves to use words like “Genocide & ethnic cleansing” but you obviously don’t even know what they mean (Gaza is one of, if not the MORE HEAVILY POPULATED PLACE WITH THE HEIGHEST GROWTH RATE ON EARTH)… For #1 Gaza
If Israel was so evil do expain why it provides electricity, water and aid to the people of Gaza!? Why did it allow aid to land, drive on its roads? Why did Israel aid on a daily basis while the ARabs did nothing (oh, and explain why they have NEVER DONE ANYTHING but flap their lips?!)?? Why did it build a field hospital for a hostile population that wants it annihalation?
Why is it you don’t question the fact that Hamas has misappropriated billions and not built roads, hospitals & infrastructure for its people. It has ruled for many years yet are still RELIANT ON ISRAEL for WATER, ELECTRICITY & INFRASTRUCTURE?

JUST LIKE YOU FALSLY CLAIM THAT war in iraq was “illegal” your claims of “occupation” are incorrect. Occupation is legal term that means one nations armies takes control of an area that is the legal, recognized property of another country!? (which was taken by occupiers: Egypt (Gaza & Jordan (Judea & Samaria)

OH : BTW: do you know which nation took in the most Arabs after 1948? It was Israel who today has over 1 million Arabs! IT is the only nation to allow them entry after they and their allies declared war on Israel – it is yet another example of Israel taking care of Arabs far better than they care for each other (or themselves). Israel is the only place where Arabs have freedom of speech, religiion, vote, office (as in seats in Parliament) or a seat on a real, indepedent (As in not government or army controlled) SUPREME COURT (yes, an Israeli Arab sat of the SC of Israel)… How do you reconcile this with the scribble you’ve drawn of this nation?!
OF the entire Middle East and Islamic Africa, – that is an area totally saturated by Muslims – which nation has taken in and cared for refugees from Darfur, Congo – GUESS AGAIN: it’s Israel… Should be obvious to everyone but I guess by your comments that you do not even know what this war is about (hint: it is not about land, air or water)

I EXPECT AN ANSWER.

Europe is currently suffering through a plague – the disease? Bendurnea (prounounced bend-your-knee-a). Bendurnea is a medical condition that slowly eats away at one’s spine in the face of Muslim threats which in turn causes the body to lean precipito…
