    that is the same thing, Republican could not bring themselves to vote against torture of POWs, just as bad as what is happening here

    I condemn both, you laughing about them?

    Interesting. Can you point our a thriving population of Jews, Christians, atheists, gay people, non-Muslims, and those critical of religion in the surrounding region?

    I'm laughing at your transparently desperate attempt to try to deflect the thread by referring to something that is not equal that is at least 15 years in the past if not more.

    No one cares if prisoners of war are water bordered. It's a very effective interrogation technique that does not equal torture.

    I'm also laughing at you having the shamelessly unmitigated gall.... To ironically and projectively accuse me of trying to derail the thread because I pointed out where you are doing just that.

    I shouldn't waste my time and do that because everyone around here already knows how you do.
    Speaking of that go ahead and have the last word now because I am done.

    Yeah, when I think of "pro-Israel" I think of people who refuse to condemn the terrorist group who invaded and slaughtered innocent Israeli civilians too.

    I believe "pro-Israel" means support for the land as long as there are no Jews living there.

    I condemn the action of voting 'present' and I do so consistently. There was a question laid upon the table that Tlaib who is specifically paid to take a stance on on a specific piece of legislation, by answering Yeah or Nay, but she refused to answer, in an act of indecisiveness or cowardice, but wanted formal credit for having answered on the record. Its a non answer built into the legislative system that serves only the interest of political cowards. If Tbaib does not want to vote to condemn, then she should just vote no. If she objects the legislative process or the result, then 'No' is the vote. 'No' is the vote of protest.

    Apparently pro Israel can mean lots of things. It can mean being a white supremacist, an anti semites, a fascist, a liar, someone who promotes same sex marriage, many things.

    Personally iDont believe it means any of those things.

    The question ppl need to ask themselves is: why do I support Israelis colonising the Levant and displacing the palestinians?

    It's a simple question, it's really not complex if one removes prejudice and bias and has an understanding of history but iGuess the history part is where many fall short because I'm not inclined to think ppl are inherently wicked in their belief systems.

    And why not? According to Wikipedia “she believes that Allah understands that she deems her actions "reflective of Islam".”.
    Muslims have long tradition of kidnapping and raping infidels, so she voted exactly in what she and her voters believe. In the US she has to right to do it, exactly as racists have right to vote in what they believe,

    For people who know history the answer is very simple - Israel is not colonizing no land, there is a long fight between Jews and Arabs in Palestine, but because Arabs have the best propaganda in the world and they convinced poorly educated that Israel is colonizing the Levant and displacing Palestinians, when the true facts are:
    1. When in 1948 UN divided Palestine between Jews and Arabs, Jews accepted the partition but Arabs not and they invaded Israel.
    2. Arabs lost, Jews expelled some Arabs from conquered territories, Arabs expelled ALL Jews from their conquered territories making the Arab land 100% Jews free.
    3. Israel accepted all Jewish refugees from Arab countries, while Arab countries refused to accept Palestinian refugees by not giving them citizenship, work permits or allowing to settle in Arab countries.
    The big victory of Arabs was to create UN agency whose the only purpose is to help Palestinian refugees: UNRWA - The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. No other refugees have such special agency.
    4. About 700 thousands Palestinians were expelled or left homes in fear of fighting, today we have almost 6 millions Palestinians, but Palestinians convinced poorly educated that Israel is involved in genocide of Palestinians.
    5. When Israeli prime ministers: Rabin, Barak, Olmert proposed peace, Hamas responded with sending to Israel suicide bombers in order to stop peace negotiations - and the succeeded.
    6. Hamas is Muslim fundamental organization who stated in their chapter that they will never accept non Muslim country in the Middle East.
    7. Palestinian propaganda is so efficient, that it convinced millions people that there is nothing wrong in rapping women and kidnapping children - millions of people demonstrated chanting 'From the river to the sea Palestine must be free", but nobody dared to chant 'from the rived to the sea, kidnapped children must be free'.

    It's very simple, it's really not complex if one removes prejudice and bias and has an understanding of history.

    right lol. So when iTalk about the history I'm referring to the last 4000 years, not the last 100 years.

    Since you began on a big fat red herring I'm just going to ignore the rest due to this false premise

    Your deflection from the question of why one supports Israel is duly noted though.

    it's comparable, Republican could not bring themselves to vote against torture of POWs, just as bad as what Tlab is doing here

    I could not believe Republicans were doing it then, and can't believe dems doing it now..... I condemn both

    Yes, I know that you are expert on the last 4000 years history the same as you are expert on the last 100 years history, but I love your excuse why you are not able to answer my post. :roflol:

    Your question "why do I support Israelis colonising the Levant and displacing the palestinians?" is the same as asking unmarried Black man - "why do you beat your White wife". Exactly the same!

    Because I think there should be the same rules applied to Jews as to Blacks, Arabs, White, Chinese or other ethnic groups or nations.

    That doesn't answer the question as to why you support Israel

    Perhaps you don't know why you do and all it boils down to is your hatred of another and nothing at all to do with the actual nation of Israel.

    Yes, some people who hate Jews cannot understand why I support Israel right to exist. Some people who hate Whites cannot understand that the slavery is bad does not matter if the slave master is White or Black. Some people who hate Blacks cannot understand why police cannot shoot Blacks.
    How to find if someone hates, Jews, Blacks or Whites? When the majority of their posts is about people they hate.
    Perhaps you don't understand what I wrote because all it boils down to your hatred of another.

    And the Palestinian people can live a much better life if they weren't being used as pawns for Jew haters. Same sex marriage is by far, a superior ideology compared to killing people because of who they love. The world needs more love.

    Another point for the long list of things you are not in a position to criticize from high ground. Loving someone of the same sex is not a crime in Israel.
