The Official Israel-Gaza Thread

[GetInTheTruck]

On any hip hop board you can expect lots of anti-Semitism.

Here is a good interview: Gaza PRESSure: IDF spokesperson explains media center rocket attack - YouTube

I like you casually imply that anybody who is pro palestinian is an anti-semite.

Most people who are familiar with the conflict stand opposed to Israel and its policies towards the Palestinians, the only people who don't are Jews and those who trust the American media.

Lotta Jews in high places in America. That's really all the explanation thats needed.

frankly I think jewish americans aren't the real blocking problem.. they have a diversity of takes on the matter and most will be happy to move towards a two state solution when there's some breathing space

the real problem is some idiot evangelicals and other reflexive arab-haters

so there's basically a powerful right wing block of various faiths that stifles the debate

Well of course the Arabs and Iran aren't to blame!

if you'd read what I'm responding to you'd know what I'm talking about. also it's shameful that you think trolling about war is funny. expect no further responses from me.

I dont know man. If there wasn't such a high population of Jews in America I doubt we'd be so persistent.

No I get it. That's the nature of representation. But when people survey them you find that AIPAC is not the majority viewpoint among them. It's just the non-right wing types are not organized

This whole "Defense of Israel" is getting out of hand now. I thought they were just defending themselves but the body count is getting crazy. They are dropping bombs on Palestine! They are killing way more people than I expected. 104 last time I checked. I know some of them are Hamas but when does "Defense" turn into a damn massacre? Those little punk ass rockets from Hamas are not doing the same amount of damage the bombs from Israel are creating.

I read what your response was in regards to. Do Arabs and Iranians have no effect on policy making? I felt like you overlooked it(or intentionally omitted it)so I gave my 2 cents. Have a nice day.

What is you point?

That's not what he wrote.

If you were to read through this thread it would be clear that most pro palestinian posters are in fact anti-semites. I'm not saying anyone who is pro palestinian is an anti semite but on this website... well just read the posts.

 

[ltheghost]

What is you point?

My point is that this is starting to turn into overkill. What is the main goal? Does Israel think bombing Gaza into nothing will keep them safe? Negotiations are the only solution. They bomb gaza dang near every four years anyway and are still getting rockets shot at them. There has to be a solution.

 

[jackswstd]

I don't know who is right or wrong in this situation, but what exactly is the solution and is there even one both sides are willing to agree on?

don't let them confuse you, it's very simple. ceasefire and then a 2 state solution.

This Land Is Mine by Nina Paley - YouTube

Wasn't expecting that, but it suports what I've read so far (both sides feel that the word of god has entitled them to that land). Can you explain why most dudes on here view Israel as the aggressor when Palestine/Hamas was reportedly firing missiles at them first? You'll have to excuse my ignorance on this subject, I definitely haven't paid as much attention as I should have.
