I hope you will be found on a Syria thread and discuss, Is Assad,, Israel's best hope for Syria given the realities. Best Wishes PS Don't be baited. You will get chastised if you reply to the above here. If I don't for mentioning it PS 2 Really , this Board is well and properly moderated.
We do take time for a chuckle occasionally - Here is a fun article. The Onion is a satirical online magazine.....so please read the contents in that context http://www.theonion.com/articles/worldwide-jewish-conspiracy-worried-it-came-down-t,34815/
I wonder if the onion ever wrote any thing about the "arab oil takeover " Or they r extra careful knowing the story of SAL-MAN RUSHDIE ?
What Arab oil takeover? Salman Rushdie is still alive and kicking. Muslim clerics can always issue fatwas... often ignored.. The Arab world has its nut jobs .. just like Israel has nutjob rabbis.
U mean the thousands of FATWAHS issued sinse 1948 , that thousands of terrorists attacks over planes buses discotheques trains malls embassies 9/11 ( and i can post thousands of examples ) of attacks that terrorists say it was a fatwah ( and i dont want u to convince me thats not fatwa iu dont care ) all that were ignored ?
LOLOL.. any twerp can issue a Fatwa.. just like Jewish rabbis can say the most outrageous things. Would you let European refugees move in and force you off your land? Or do you believe that God gave the land of the Canaanites to the Hebrews exclusively?
I agree that some rabbi say stuff i dont understand , so i just disregard them , still i have a question. Do u know any rabbi or how many rabbi have gave a " fatwa " to kill arabs or blowup a plane or do terror acts ? Please don't tell me their names out load .. tell me quietly in my ear ! European armies rome greek did " move in and force me off my r land " Also persia babel and madai ? IN 1948 15 arab countries tried to do so In 1967 another 5-6 tried again and so in yom kippur war . God gave the land of the Canaanites to the Hebrews exclusively ..yes as a nation but other people living ( not as a nation in a nation ) just non Jewish civilians can live and will get rights as civilians as long as they r not terrorists ... and if they do god wishes ( at that bible time 2000-3000 years ago)they be destroyed P.S. millions of jews had property in europe and arab countries and they were murdered and banished from thier homes .( there r millions of jewish homes all over europe that belonge to jews murdered by nazi germany and now those homes r lost forever and other people non jews r living in them !!! http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.23...id=2134&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&sid=21103125941901 The Power of Oil: The Arab Oil Weapon and the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and the United States Roy Licklider International Studies Quarterly Vol. 32, No. 2 (Jun., 198, pp. 205-226 Published by: Wiley Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2600627 Abstract: An extensive literature argues that economic sanctions by themselves do not usually force governments to alter important policies, but the literature does not make it clear why this is true. According to its initiators, the purpose of the 1973-74 Arab oil weapon was to force changes in the policies of states toward the Arab-Israeli conflict. This article examines the responses of the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States to this attempted coercion. The analysis shows that these countries did not significantly alter their policies, apparently because the sanctions were unable to coerce top-level decision-makers and did not create much political pressure on them, a problem shared by most attempts at limited external coercion.
Welcome to PF hopefully the fact you even mentioned Israel will not cause some of the more hateful resentful vicious posters to flame you for saying hi I'm not Jewish but Speak Yiddish..i grew up in montreal next to a Jewish Area, and me old man thought he was Jewish even though he was Irish Italian lol.. so shalom shalom , hope the souris passes the welcome thread and it doesn't end in tears
Shalom shalom 2 u 2 DOC . What with the picture of Mary and ..why is Mary dressed as a christian nun ?
" welcome aboard simsim50 " Thnx Stuart ..like it here ! cant understand the ..pf thing..whats that ?posters to flame ?
Lol. I am Jewish but grew up the only Jews on an Irish street in Montreal. I always thought of myself as Irish but I am addicted to Italian food and anything Italian. Montrealers. We rule. So you know what a shmuck is. Lol. Anyways Sim Sim I volunteered on a kibbutz and to do something else in Israel when I was young. saw some very bad things and some good things. You know how that is. I am fortunate to be born in Canada. My family are holocaust/pogrom survivors. I see people like you living on the front lines. I do not forget you. I probably lol would get on your nerves though! I support Tzipi Levni and I met Yitzhak Rabin who I think was the man. What do I know. I just want peace for you and the neighbours. Now one last thing. You may be in one respect cursed living in Israel with all the conflicts, but remember this-your country has the most beautiful women in the world (I say that about Lebanon, Jordan too) so shut up and enjoy them! Makarah Shalom and all that jazz.
Welcome simsim50! Great to have you here. There are lots of diverse opinions here. I hope to learn something of your POV.
