    Arabs live all over the globe, so does Jews.
    20% of Israel citizens are Arabs, why not have 20% of Palestine citizens Jews ?

    And the Arabs living in Israel have more civil rights than Arabs living in any other ME country.

    Kooks like to brag up & overstate their credentials or the credentials of their sources whenever possible. It's a hallmark, really.

    Was there a chemical weapons attack, or was it a ruse for Trump to attack the base? No one in the Khan Shaykhun area where the attack took place has asked for antidotes for exposure or medication to toxic sarin gas, the chemical that were allegedly used on the 4th of April. Nor has anyone found the area where the alleged attack took place.


    Thus far, the only video of the alleged attack’s aftermath have been provided by the White Helmets, an organisation widely exposed as
    fraudulent, comprising known and open supporters of al-Qaeda factions in Syria.

    Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov has
    described the rather strange and incongruous developments at the location of the alleged attack over the last weeks,

    “The impact zone in Khan Shaykhun, from where locals had to be evacuated, has not been identified. The town is living its life. Neither locals nor pseudo-rescuers have even asked for medicines, antidotes, (nor) decontaminants.

    It is clear that, as in Iraq and Libya, there are simply no plans to carry out a qualified investigation in Khan Shaykhun by the current ‘schemers’ of the chemical attack”.

    Antidote is only useful in fist few hours, majority of affected are in Turkey, so why would someone ask for antidote days later? Makes no sense.

    That's also false,

    Because the % of Arabs living in Israel used to be almost 50%, before the Jews ethnic cleansed them down to 20%. And that your idea is to give Jews even more of the pie instead of Jews returning land what they thieved.

    And boot-licks like to lie through their teeth and hope no one notices. Unfortunately for them, their boot-licking is quite ostentatious and hamfisted. You should refine your method before trying to take on the likes of Postol. He's way out of your league.

    The super-serious-and-very-credible government/media complex has assured us that Assad's forces were responsible for the chemical incident in Syria. Yet substantive reservations have been expressed by investigative journalists, scientists, diplomats, intelligence officers, etc. Is there any indication of this in the media? Hardly. They are not in the business of providing their audience both sides of the story. Instead, they exist largely to condition and program westerners by filling their heads with government propaganda.

    That's the claim.. You might look into citizenship versus nationality in Israel and at thirty laws in particular that apply to Arabs only.

    LOL

    You don't even know who I'm talking about, yet you showed up in this thread to spew your bootlick propaganda.

    Do you have any clue how pathetic you've become?

    I'm not the one posting kooky nonsense and ranting like a madman about paranoid, unrealistic conspiracies.

    You're the one who cannot refute the argument being put forth by an MIT professor, so you resort to standard propaganda tactics: Distraction and character assassination.

    Pathetic as it is transparent.

    Not going to bother, rather. I feel about kooks the way Dr. Dawkins feels about young earth creationists, and believe me, they react the same way and make the same silly accusations in response to his refusal to waste his time debating them as you are to me right now.

    I love how you're so quick to identify the motives and agendas of the alternative media, yet you cannot seem to identify the motives and agendas of the government and the corporate media.

    In any case, you are just restoring to standard propaganda methods: Ignore the argument and attack the source.

    That usually indicates that you cannot refute the argument using logic and evidence.

    This is one of the oldest propaganda tactics in the book: Ignore the argument and attack the source.

    Soulless shills and authoritarian bootlicks have been doing it forever.

    It almost always indicates that the argument being made is legitimate.

    Are Arabs stoned to death, Arab children hanged, Arab women executed for being the cause of their rape, Arab's convicted of theft having their hands cut off, .... ??

    They just get bombed by Israeli fighter jets and artillery. That's much better.

    I don't think stoning is used in Palestine or Jordan. .. or in the GCC. Amputation isn't either with the exception being KSA.. and that is rarely used. Its for third conviction grand larceny with violence. . Like a home invasion or carjacking.

    Yes, there are. The US government and its prostitutes in the media come to mind. They're the ones who laundered the lies that got us into wars like Vietnam and Iraq and now they're doing it in Syria. And there are no shortage of useful idiots to take their word as gospel.

    Is there some reason you come down on the side of Gaddafi and Assad?

    Did you oppose the war in Iraq? Well, that must mean you sided with Saddam Hussein.

    I am always amazed by how many people are willing to put their faith in US politicians. And, of course, anyone who doesn't mindlessly conform to this faith-based thinking is instantly labeled as disloyal or unpatriotic, as if slavish deference to authority is a form of patriotism.

    I opposed the war in Iraq because I knew it would destabilize the ME and Iran would be ascendant.. but we invaded Iraq.. We didn't invade Libya or Syria.. We had no control over what happened there.
