On this one-year anniversary of the barbaric massacre of Jews, may I suggest…

[rosends]

Yes, any criticism of Israel murdering Palestinians is "anti-Semitic", even though the Palestinians are also a Semitic people.

because "anti-Semitic" doesn't mean "against Semitic peoples."

It doesn't care.

All it knows is hatred.

You should embrace liberals.

It's these leftist democrats that you should shun.

You need to define which liberal values I should embrace. Around here, the liberals are for “equity” where a high school drop-out is given the same lifestyle a college graduate earns, letting in “oppressed” illegal migrants and putting them up in hotels, and of course crying over the “innocent” Palestinians while lying about Israel.

If you’re talking about the Pat Moynihan type of liberal, they have been overtaken by the ones I just described above.

You are assuming that people here who identify as liberal represent liberalism. They don't. They are far closer to Stalinists

Actual liberalism is an egalitarian political philosophy where everybody is treated the same.

Some liberal values include freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, preventing oligarchies while giving people the right to run their own life, preventing the powerful from exploiting the weak, and many other ideals that are fine things, indeed. The left has turned its back on all of that.

Using that as a description, which Democrats in Congress are liberals?

None

None

That’s the problem.

The far-left has hijacked the liberals, and now liberal has a new meaning: anti-American, anti-Israel, siding with “oppressed” people, (as they define them), supporting giving specific individuals extra privilege and favoritism by virtue of their akin color, and supporting the silencing of dissenting opinions, among other things.

The old liberal no longer exists.

Which is exactly why people should stop using the term.

Good luck. It’s not going to happen when leftists refer to themselves as liberal, and brag about their destructive “liberal” policies. I like you, but I think you’re fighting a losing battle.

No, guy, claim was that the Palestinians wouldn't be upset if the Iranians weren't funding them. They were upset from the moment the first European Jew showed up on their land and started scheming to take their land.



Uh, let's get real here. Jews in the Islamic World were treated a lot better than they were in the Christian world. The Spanish Inquisition, the Russian Pogroms, and of course, what Hitler did. Jews have an uncanny ability to wear out there welcome no matter where they go. heck, part of the impetus behind the Balfour Declaration was to get the Jews out of Europe. Then the Brits realized that antagonized the Arabs unnecessarily and they stopped doing it.

You badly need to sharpen your reading skills. The claim is not that the so called Palestinians would not be upset if the current Iranian regime were not funding them - we have already established that they were upset they could no longer oppress and persecute Jews as they had for over a thousand years under British Law - but that they would not be able to wage endless war against Israel without the money, weapons,, training and coordination with other Iranian proxies.

Before the war, the British made promises to both the Arabs and Jews and they clearly did intend to give all of Palestine over to the Arabs which meant the British intended to endorse the Arabs' oppression and persecution of the Jews as second class citizens, and that's why the British were driven out of Palestine by the Jews.

What the fuck are you babbling about?

Read your Bible if you have one

 

[Mac-7]

Isiah 5:20

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

In lib la la land everything is backward, upsidedown

Naw, I use my bible as a coaster for my beer. Sometimes toilet paper if I run out.

Hey, I love the Bible... No, listen to these verses.

1. God himself will kill tens of thousands if it pleases him: 1st Samuel 6:19 in the King James Version: “And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men (50,070)”. Kill 50 000 men for looking at something?

2. You can kill a woman if she seizes a man's private parts without his permission: Deuteronomy 25:11-1: If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

3. Perversity and human trafficking condoned: "Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse." (1 Peter 2:18)

4. Sex slavery condoned: "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again."
Exodus 21: 7-8

5. Divorce akin to debauchery: "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." (Luke 16:18) (Oh, Shit, nobody tell Trump!)
11. Pray in private, and if you do so in church, do so quietly: Matt 6:5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."
12. If you offend God he will kill you: "And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also." (Genesis 38:7-10)

13. God smites women, children and often animals with equal gusto, he seems to equal evil and wrong doing by association, rather than by being guilty of the personal, individual act: "Behold with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day." (II Chronicles 21:14-15)
