Aid ship attacked by Israeli soldiers

[Judge Faust]

Are you off your meds?

Given your username, that is an ironic question, my friend.

And no, I am not "off [my] meds," on account of me not needing any. Now, do you have anything intelligent to add to this discussion? I will answer all thoughtful counterarguments, but I will hardly waste my time on juvenile trolling.

Yes I do, as a matter of fact. two words- Seek Therapy.

This is going to be another "go easy on isreal because of a holocaust" thing.

Not at all - Israel did and do similar things to the Arabs. This thread is focusing on one single incident - I hope.

One thing that does annoy me - they call it 'the holocaust' as if it was the only one.

On this issue, I find myself mostly in agreement with Faust, but I do think it only hurts the Palestinians "cause" when they engage in terror attacks against Israeli citizens and private venues. I think they, lose all credibility when they send someone to blow up a crowded grocery or disco. But the artificial occupier state of Israel, which uses the Holocaust to act with impunity, is a major world problem.

A little off the topic. Judge Faust, I do apologize for this remark. It was uncalled for and I was a little irritated. In reality, I do value your opinion as with everyone else. I thank God for freedom of speech.

The fact of the matter is that international maritime law is nearly nonexistent. Most nations currently agree on two things only: nations can prosecute their own citizens for crimes committed on the high seas, and nations have the duty to protect their own citizens on the high seas. As you can see, with a rogue state such as Israel, this gets us absolutely nowhere.

Now, here is my own personal opinion: The Zionist Empire is a disgrace to the human race. This false nation, created by the whims of the American and British occupiers of the Middle East, is the one true heir to NAZI Germany. For decades, it has demonstrated nothing but a complete and utter disregard for human life, a blatant racism best relegated to the 16th century, and an inhuman bloodlust that would have sent shivers down Hitler's spine. The Zionists have pissed on the proud history of their Judaic forefathers and have set down a path of violence and infamy, treating the Holocaust as a credit account against which they can charge each and every crime that they wish to unleash on modern humanity. I send my condolences to the families and victims of Israel's latest crime against humanity, as well as to the millions affected by its campaign of genocide against the Muslim world.

The jews and Arabs are all palestinians and have been since history began in that region - they all have the right to that land. Let that point be made and heard extremely clearly.


I understand the jews kicked the British out whilst under siege and imminent slaughter from the Arabs which led to their war. Naturally the jews would defend themselves.

I have a feeling if the Palestinians just layed down their weapons and stopped the eye for a eye type bombings the Isrealis would just clamp down even further.

As Faust has explained they have shown their true colors.

The only way they will be stopped is with the rising political opposition of Isreali citizens that is growing each day.

They need to throw the hardliners out before they do something that will end the world. I really dont want to be breathing in elevated levels of radioactivity because of some bad decisions.

A lot of the fundy TV preachers constantly preach that it's America's holy duty to protect the artificial Zionist occupier state Israel, they have lot's of believers in this, and alot of American Christians feel this way too.

Jeez. I hate religion, politics, and religous politics. All this prophecy, all this political garbage is just that. All this bullshit is a waste of time. All of this is a distraction. I'd like to say that we as a species are better than this, but I guess I'd be wrong. I'm sorry but religion and politics will be the death of us all.

[tom502]

Probably, but it's the basis of our social systems.

It becomes pretty ungarbage when people are trying to kill you - no matter what side you belong to. But I agree entirely with the sentiment.

"they are God's chosen people"

I doubt that, seeing as the "promised land" he lead them to happens to be the only part of the middle-east that doesn't have much oil, if any.

As for the whole boarding issue, it's quite simple: the Israeli were the ones who initiated force by boarding the ship. The resulting conflict is therefore their fault. Israel could have denied the ships entrance into Israeli waters and be justified in using force to do so, but boarding them in international waters isn't acceptable.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't condemn the soldiers. They were sent there and probably had no choice but to use lethal force. The mistake was sending them there in the first place. Also, yes, it IS stupid of civilians to try and confront an armed force.

I'm relieved that nobody has chimed in about getting 'God's people' back to the promised land in order to bring on the rapture. Although I thoroughly believe in Israel's right to exist the illegal settlements should be disbanded.
