thank you hessan..for y ur highlites on jewish communities in Iran..

Justin, FYI, Bob rae has always been a liberal, actually the guy even married one of Chretien's daughter.. Bob Rae is ususally a reflected politician but if his stances are condemning lebanese and palestinians to suffering and if he support zionism, it is most likely that I will be against Bob Rae political motivations.. Justing where can I find more info on Michael Ignateff.. ( By the way one cool ontario politician I like is H. Hampton)

Dear CrCn,

 

I ask you to let go of the bias that has taken over your mind and look at the facts. If you look a little open-minded and independently, you'll see that it's the Zionist state that doesn't want peace. There were several attempts from the Palestinians for creating two-state solutions and setting the Israel-Palestine boundaries and many UN resolutions trying to stabilize it, but it's always Israel that ignores them. Israel is the one occupying territories that are not its own, not Palestine. We are dealing with a very dangerous regime in Israel. They believe that God has promised them this land and want to live there (no problem so far), and are willing to bulldoze houses down before they are even evacuated and kill Palestinian children on there way to school to get their land (I think that's a problem). They are willing to do anything to just get these filthy Arabs out of there, and just get rid of them somehow.

I'm sure you don't get informed about the Palestinians that are killed these days. Surely they don't say anything about them on CNN or BBC. This silent murder of a couple of Palestinians each day is far worse than a suicide bombing that happens less frequently than once a month.

 

You think that all they have to do is “recognize the right of Israel to exist”? Well that doesn't suffice as far as Israel is concerned. The Zionist regime wants its land, it doesn't care about Palestinian rights. This is totally evident just by taking a close look at the recent history of Israel. Arafat has recognized the right for Israel to exist, and borders have been set, but they were simply ignored by Israel. It's really hard to miss the numerous resolutions condemning Israel and the US-supported ignorance of them.

 

These people are not against Jews!!! That's totally wrong! They are against Zionism. They don't want to 'kill Jews' as you claim. When have they said such a thing? Just take a look at the Jews living in Iran:

You are right, the solution to this problem is very simple, but all such attempts to implement them were vetoed by the United States. just take a look:

It's horrible! The whole entire international community wants a peaceful end to this conflict, but it's always the US, the big bully with a right to 'veto', that gets in the way. Take a look at the votes on the second column! The US is always standing alone... it's always something to one!

I hope you're not here to just make a fight. You won't get anywhere calling people 'bigots'. I kindly ask you to take a closer look at this situation, and I hope you'll understand it all.

Racist comparing to whom? It is meaningless to make blanket accusations without context. Tribalism was the norm in human history and racism is not uniquely a Western phenomenon. But at least in the West it is universially regarded as wrong and efforts are made to overcome it, at least the label "racist" means something in the West. "The West" is not the only one guilty of colonialism. While you are talking about Iran maybe you should consider how it became muslim in the first place. While we see the Arabs as "victims" today(which they mainly are, though not always of "the West") perhaps we should remember they too had their haydays of Empire building. An article about Muslim immigration opines that Muslim immigrants are having a hard time in Europe pyschologically partly because it is the first time in history that Arab muslims arrive in a strange land not as conquerors. A gross simplification for sure, but there is some truth to that. Colonialism was a standard way of nation building, some were better at the game than the other. But the idea that colonialism is morally wrong was a concept developed by the "evil West". Other cultures complain about colonialism only when they happened to be on the recieving end. The critique of colonalism as an institution was a Western innovation.No one else, not the Arabs, not the Chinese, not the Japanese apologize for their imperial past like Europeans. The West should not make apologies for the industrial revolution anymore than the human species should apologize for its existence. There are indications that homo sapians once indulged in canibalism and it might have sped up our evolution in some ways. I think the beneficence of the West is often exaggerated, but on the other hand I don't agree with the mindless demonizing and masochistic self fellating fest that is almost standard fare here on Znet either. "The West" is not monolithic. It has produced some of the worst robber barons, but it has also gave birth to some of the most progressive ideas that continue to inspire oppressed people around the world.

The only thing the Arab world has to do is say "Israel has a right to exist.  Jews have a right to live in Israel." But the Arab world refuses to do so. Instead, the Arab world sanctions groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and the PA which explicitly call for the killing of Jews. And there are the apologists in the West like the left wing here at Znet, Indymedia, A.N.S.W.E.R. et. al.  You talk about the "poor Palestinians" who have been bombed, killed, etc., yet you fail to recognize that THEY and their muslim brethren have refused peace.  Are the Israelis supposed to let the Palestinians simply try to kill them and not do anything in return?  Your answer is "yes." Just like when the national socialists marched through Europe.  You also fail to recognize that the Palestinians could have had their own country long ago, either by agreement with their fellow Arabs, or through negotiated peace deals.  But they chose war instead. Even the Edward Said chair at Columbia - no friend of Jews - has expressed this. But the hardcore bigots of left won't recognize it.

 At least the Klan and the Nazi party has the balls to admit who and what they are. You on the other hand, prefer to cloak yourself with the veil of the political left.

If you don't think that the threat of suicide bombers and quassam rockets is a daily threat in Israel - weapons that specifically and ONLY target civilians whose only crime is being Jewish - you are woefully a)ignorant, b) a biggot.  Which is it?

The West is racist?  You show your ignorance.  The West is built on the notion of tolerance and equality.

Have you read the Hizzbolah charter? It EXPLITCLY calls for the kiling of Jews and the destruction of a legitmate country?  This is acceptable to you?

You Sir, or bordering on bigotry.  Worse, you and blinded by your own rage. 

A serious question, you obviously side with an ideology that want to destroy the non-muslim world. What then, are you doing living in the west?
