The problem with that logic is you're not questioning the Israeli leadership.Nonsense. simply because didn't engage in the thread drift doesn't mean the position is false.
I'start the thread and we can take it up there
Oh and its people like myself that are the pals only chance. I am 100% for a peaceful solution conducted in full cooperation with both peoples, I just done't see the pals having any leadership which could bring them to that place at this time and in the mean time I'm all for peaceful restrictions and deportations which in the end result in less violence and criminal behavior.
Well, if you want to believe the propaganda (which does not jive with official statistics) there will be so many Jews, there is no problem with enfranchising all the people under Israeli control. Problem solved.

The Israeli government is putting Jews in danger.While I would never exonerate the Israeli leadership of any number of problems they do form an effective governance of the Israeli people and are able to both initiate and honor foreign policy agreements.
Unlike their palestinain ( and I hesitate to use the term ) counterparts.

No thanks. I'll take a Columbia University research, than your false propaganda and crap.
In two to three generations Israel will annex a Jewish majority West Bank.

Agreed Roudy, except for that last bit.
I'm going to assume you are talking to Montie, and I'm sure he's likely deserving of the verbal lashing, he presents some pretty twisted views and with zero supporting evidence. On the contrary what links he does provide invariably refute his own nonsense.
But just as the Israeli's at home have taken the high ground and are using every and all peaceful means to thwart the violent measures consistently employed by the palestinians; we here should do the same. I believe a polite yet compelling rebuttal can and will convince the world if not the palestinians that Israel would prefer peace. While I'd love to rave and rail at some of the more ridiculous claims like what Montie consistently does ( which is another reason he's on ignore ) but what good would it do ? Other than convince someone maybe reading along, who might be on the fence, that I'm no better than the liars and killers and those who encourage yet more violence.
Rise above it Roudy, just don't give up the fight.
There has been no evidence proving the Pals use human shields. Your statement is bullshit. The Israeli's, on the other hand, are a little more guilty...That would be debatable. What isn't debatable is that even the wildly bias UNHRC has accused the palestinians of using human shields, which is about the most egregious example of a government placing its own in danger I can think of.
That right there is a lie. You're full of shit, dude.Agreed Roudy, except for that last bit.

I don't have anyone on "ignore". I don't think in my 10 years of blogging, have I ever put someone on "ignore".

You should come down off that horse of yours, because you are definitely a liar.Other than convince someone maybe reading along, who might be on the fence, that I'm no better than the liars and killers and those who encourage yet more violence.
Saying that to Roudy, is like saying Charles Manson is pro-life.Rise above it Roudy, just don't give up the fight.

The evidence of Palestinians using human shields throughout the years is so constant and overwhelming it isn't even debatable. It is standard modus operandi for Islamists all over the world to do that, and Palestinians haven't been any different!
True story
What a great way to get Palestinian children killed. Oh Hamas, who elected you?
Palestinians Admit Using Human Shields
There has been no evidence proving the Pals use human shields. Your statement is bullshit. The Israeli's, on the other hand, are a little more guilty...That would be debatable. What isn't debatable is that even the wildly bias UNHRC has accused the palestinians of using human shields, which is about the most egregious example of a government placing its own in danger I can think of.
Here's one where the IDF is using a couple of Palestinian teens as human shields while they take a break in their Humvee.
But the more popular use of human shields by the IDF, is with their use of "Johnnies".
People are called “Johnnie. They’re Palestinian civilians” in Gaza neighborhoods. In checking out houses, “we send the neighbor in, the ‘Johnnie,’
Human shields were also used to check for booby-traps and perform other services. “Sometimes the force would enter while placing rifle barrels on a civilian’s shoulder, advancing into the house and using him as a human shield. Commanders said these were the instructions and we had to do it.”
That right there is a lie. You're full of shit, dude.Agreed Roudy, except for that last bit.
