Were you so desperate that you had to make such an asinine remark? Just the other day a pro football player committed suicide. I didn't see anyone in the newspapers making an asinine remark about him. People commit suicide every day for many reasons, but only a two-bit anti-Semite would have made a remark such as you.

i don't think anyone should make light about the dead but i think people on your side of the fence wrote the deinitive edition on how to play that game, hoss. how many times have you spoke out against the horrible things said about rachel corrie. even bringing her name up i fear will bring a torrent of "pancake" jokes. jews/zionists even made fun of iman al-hams.
have you ever made fun of rachel? i can't recall. of course, my opinion may be skewed by the fact that jews/zionists have so much more "material" to work with, what with the IDF's and the settler's penchant for running amok. what is the kill ratio on children by you guys now...somewhere in the neighbourhood of ten to one?
no offense, really and truly, but i would take your indignation much more seriously if you would try to be a bit more evenhanded in your expression of outrage.
do you think this man's desperation was any greater than that of a suicide bomber? i don't know?
No offense to you either, but I would take your indignation more seriously if on the AOL Middle East Discussion Board you would have condemned all the children murdered by Muslims in countries such as Iraq or Yemen. It's very nice and convenient for many just to overlook the enormous amount of children who have died by suicide and car bombers while in the marketplace, at funerals, praying in Mosques and Churches, etc. Can you just imagine how many children have died just in this conflict going on in Syria?

i had regularly condemned suicide bombings and will continue to do so but at the same time, i will try to understand what passions motivate men to so selflessly give themselves up for a cause.
i believe the name of the AOL board was "politics of israel" and for the most part, i try to keep my focus on the board that i am on, to the subject i am on.
i don't appreciate having the old board thrown in my face, especially when i am being lied about. i really have no defense other than to lie back. i am not going to do that. i am not even sure we are allowed to mention other boards.
what happened to me on that other board was horrific, so horrific in fact that when patrickcaturday very accuratly described it to defend me, he was edited. i understand that editing. . i suspect someone turned him in. i would endure such comments daily and every once in awhile i would respond back, and not in anger as people accuse me of. but in a very cold a deliberate way. i don't know. it would seem like condeming me for cold deliberation would be more damning than condemning me for a moment of passion. i did not make many responses, but i apparently did them very well. one woman said a one word response i had made, not a threat, not a profanity, not anything really but a word surrounded by the context of other posters, chilled her.
i think i can talk about my family. my father was a highly decorated army officer who fought in WWII and my mom was a red cross volunteer who also served in europe. some of the things said about them, and particularly the accusations that i was sexually abused by them and that they brought me up to be a NAZI are beyond my comprehension. i endured those comments, but when i would strike back, maybe once a month or so, i wasn't going to be halfstepping.
so why don't we drop the boolshite. you(pl) do these things everyday, denigrate muslims, denigrate arabs and persians, trash me (and caturday) occasionally because we are irish catholics and you (again pl) invoke the stereotypical "drunk" paddy stuff. thats all good, it is water off a duck's back...but when i make one comment about the attitude of jews towards african americans re a film roudy posted, make a comment about how jews were not well like in african amrican communities and that (again, i was speaking about the attitude expressed by roudy and that film), i hear all these shrill cries of feigned indignation.
some people, and i am one of them, are not fooled.
