ReplyDeleteOf course Molly. For me it's more about Israel life time "achievements" than about the validity of each record...
ReplyDeleteMany of these are true. But some are false. The false ones should be removed because it diminishes attention to the true ones.
ReplyDeleteI think quite a few of the only place on earth claims would not stand scrutiny. Just one example:
ReplyDeleteThe only place on Earth where people cultivate fields stolen from living refugees is, Israel.
Really? What about the Assyrians in Iraq? The Hindus and Christians in Pakistan and Bangladesh whose lands have been stolen? I am sure there are more examples.
• Israel holds the world record in the number of refugees it deported...4 million +

What other country has all of these points embodied all at once in its practices?
ReplyDelete<span>What other country has all of these points embodied all at once in its practices? The answer is Israel, there is no one with an overall record like this, that is the point.
ReplyDelete</span>
I know you'd find quite a few that can be disputed but as v said, it's the overall record that counts...Of course 4 million number Palestinians were not deported but how many were born in tents and refugee slumps?
ReplyDeleteBTW, I didn't not write this and me myself can find that many points can't stand rigorous scrutiny but then again that was really not the point...Achievement is more an accurate word than record.....
<span>I know you'd find quite a few that can be disputed but as v said, it's the overall record that counts...Of course 4 million Palestinians were not deported but how many were born in tents and refugee slumps as a conquence to the deportation of the original refugees? Aren't the children born in exile refugees still?
ReplyDeleteBTW, I didn't not write this and I can find that many points which can't stand rigorous scrutiny in terms of being "records" but then again that wasn't really the point...Replace "record"with "achievement and the point is made..

Yes TGIA, and look at how young Israel is, if it accomplishes this much mayhem in such a short period, what will happen if it is allowed to continue in this fashion?
ReplyDeleteTGIA, reviewing this, most of the claims are false. Many other countries do most of the things that this claims "only Israel does."
ReplyDeleteThis type of stuff shouldn't be written. If you aren't accurate you harm the Palestinian cause.
What about the Neanderthals? Eurasia was theirs alone for 200000 years. Then the newcomers arrived.
ReplyDeleteYes of course, tgia. Many of these statements cant stand high scrutiny as you admit. Many can be disputed, as you further allow. But that is not "the point", is it?
ReplyDeleteThe point is, as always, to villify and demonize Israel as much as possible - regardless of the truth of the matter. Its not important to be accurate as long as Israel looks bad, is it?
The strategy calls for levelling as many accusations as possible against Israel, the more outlandish the better (organ harvesting, baby killing, etc). The hope being that some will stick and "turn" people to your cause. Its really kind of a sick game.
The goal is to erode public support of Israel in the US. By destroying the basic human-ness of Israel, the hope is that the US will ultimately deliver a south africa-like solution for the palestinians.
The problem is, Americans see Palestinians and their supporters as the ultimate "shrews" of the world -- incessant bellyachng and harping about others as the cause of ALL their problems. I can tell you that such claims fall mostly on deaf ears in the US. We are tired of it. We dont believe 95% of it. Some of it we see as necessary for Israel's defense. And some we recognize as vestiges of any long running conflict. Its not as if Palestinians havent engaged in their own abhorrent and criminal behavior.
The US and Israel are friends, and that will remain so. The Palestinian view of Israel as the ultimate bad guy is well known. We "get it". Yet its also why we ignore or dismiss claims by Palestinian supporters of "Israeli evil". The tune never changes, there is never any let up or perhaps even the slightest admonition that responsibility lies anywhere else than Israel. Same song, over and over again. Learn a new tune, maybe you will reach some new ears.
<span>"By destroying the basic human-ness of Israel,"</span>
ReplyDeleteI think the word you are looking for is "humanity"...but I'm hardly surprised you are unfamiliar with that particular word.
Yet another stining rebuke from Joe. I am crushed....LOL
ReplyDeleteThe problem with lists like this is that people usually ending up discussing the list rather than the issue it wants to raise. Arcane discussions arise like whether the Watusi used Hotentots as human shields in some civil war. When you start every sentence saying "the only nation", you are bound to be wrong somewhere....but, by the way, if other countries do engage in some of these practices, it does not let Israel off the hook.
ReplyDeletestinging rebuke? Nah, I'm only having a little fun at your expense. You aren't really worth rebuking.
ReplyDeleteYet more rebukes - or I guess not? Im so confused...
ReplyDeleteKeep it up little Joey. I am busy "wrassling" with my sexual orientation, thanks to your "insights"!
God, what a pedantic bore you are. You and Marcacutu should hang out. LOL
I just saw this item:
ReplyDeletehttp://cbs3.com/topstories/terrorists.carter.blain.2.1168123.html
There was a plot to assinate Jimmy Carter by some group in Palestine, and this paragraph was interesting:
Mahmoud Taleb, a former commander of Hamas's armed wing, tells the Jerusalem Post that the former president and the current Mideast envoy was foiled by Hamas.
Juxtapose this with Israel's announcement about settlement expansion, and we get an idea of who is more responsible.
Israel is bad enough with having to exaggerate. Exaggeration doesn't do Palestinians any favors. Only hurts one's credibility.
ReplyDeleteThe point may have been made but the point has no validity if it is based on questionable information.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is enough. There is no need to embellish it.
There has been too many cases of Palestinians and their supporters doing this sort of thing. The term Pallywood did not come into being simply because of Israel propaganda. There are so many cases of attempts to embellish. The dead bodies caught on film falling out of stretchers and jumping back onto them is a classic. This list is now another.
Are you dismissing with a joke the theft of land belonging to people other than Palestinians?
ReplyDeleteAt one time Hindus were nearly 30% of the population of Bangladesh, They are now closer to 9%. This has happened in our time, not prehistoric times! In the same time span the Palestinian population has increased not decreased.

I for one, welcome the opportunity to chart Israel's inverse exceptionalism. A few minor corrections to the current list could make it bulletproof. So far vza has removed two points. So the #$%& what. Here are two new points to replace them.
ReplyDelete*Israel is the only country in the world that insists on defining citizenship independently of geography
*Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders
Game on!
fleming's posts are getting increasingly hysterical. what gives? (why are As'ad's goofy phrases so catchy?)
ReplyDeleteyasmin:
ReplyDeleteYou should know by this time, fleming does not post opinions, he posts symptoms of his mental disorder.
true, but there's a hint of desperation as of late.
ReplyDeleteYou must mean hysterically funny, Yasmin. Yes, I know, I cant help it, its my natural good sense of humor. Thanks for appreciating it. It especially stands out here among so many humor-less. (or did I mean humornity, Joe-Joe?)
ReplyDeleteAw geez Joe, always with the mental health "analysees". Are you like a wanna-be psychologist? Is Freud your hero? Do you fancy yourself an on-line Dr. Spock and Oprah, all wrapped into a single whiny package? LOL
No, I just know a wounded soul when I encounter one.
ReplyDeleteGosh Joe, do I owe you anything for this deep insight into my many neurosess? I mean, usually this kind of thing requires lots of couch sitting, pouring out of the soul and of course, many many checks. But you, with your "insightful insights" into my true sexual yearnings and other "hidden" issues, do it all for nothing. You are a great humanitarian Joe, indeed. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe only wound, Joe, is the one you have in your life because people find you so boring to be around. Go psycho-analyze one of your 12 cats. HAHAHHA
Yeah fleming, you are as normal and well adjusted as any other guy...who has spent countless hours provoking people on an academic and political forum in order to get abused and insulted.
ReplyDeleteBoohoohoo Joey. Im soooo distraught...... :)
ReplyDeleteTell me, what other great wisdom have you garnered from our little on-line exchanges? Do I hate my father too much, or love my mother too much? Do I have self-loathing, or am I excessively narcisstic? Do I eat to live, or live to eat? Am I manic depressive, or do I suffer from an OCD? Do I perhaps suffer from PSD? Or am I just "really fucked up"???? My stomach is all knots awating your response!!!
And do tell us Joey what other incredible mental health diagnosees you have made over this amazing thing called the internet?
Just think, you could change the whole concept of psyco-analysis! Never even meet the patient, just do it via chat rooms and blogs! No need to go to school for a degree, just watch a lot of Oprah (or Dr Phil?). Imagine the healthcare savings - your man Obama could even invoke your approach as a new way for bringing down healthcare costs. Joe, you have saved us all, man, you have saved us all. You are my new hero!!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
What I say has nothing to do with Freud or Oprah. It's just simple logic, if someone has spent a good part of his spare time over the last few years logging onto a blog where he is always being called an asshole, he must enjoy being called an asshole, or believe he deserves being called an asshole.
ReplyDeleteCant argue with that "logic" Joey....LOL
ReplyDeleteOr maybe its that Im called an "asshole" so rarely in the real world that I need to come here in order to balance that out?
Or perhaps its that Id rather argue with nitwits and nutbags than get warm fuzzies going to sites where I agree with everything.
Or, perhaps I dont care, in the least, what names my 'online persona' is called. Because its just so incredibly unimportant to "who I am".
Not a good try Joey. Not even close. Frankly, rather pathetic. Your poor people skills are showing again....!

The convoluted explanations people come up with when they can't stand to face the truth about themselves.
ReplyDeleteto be expected from filth called jews
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell??!!
ReplyDeleteThat was the rare, elusive, pop-up antisemite TGIA...lol
ReplyDeleteThe ip is in Israel..I do not exclude the possibility of a fake like we used to have in the past, in order to point towards the Palestinians and say, hey! They're anti-Semites...I caught yishai Kohen once on the Angry Arab, pretending to be an Arab..A while ago I saw comments on Haaretz signed Asad the Angry Arab..As'ad mentioned the imposter in one of his posts. I myself wrote a comment on Haaretz to tell them about the impersonator but my comment wasn't approved.
