Thread Name: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Last night Guest, Troubadour snarkily wrote, "Er......because it's a thread with the title "Small hope for Israel/Palestine"?" "Start a thread about other abuses and expect to get answers and comment about those abuses, but in a thread about Israel v Palestine, surprise SURPRISE! We talk about Israel and Palestine." Well, Troubadour, not exactly!

Four years ago and a week shy of a month a new thread was introduced by bobad, 'BS: Atrocities (Other Than Israeli).' I mentioned that thread on this one some weeks ago. I noted there, then, that it took all of four (as in 4) posts to turn the thread in to being about (alleged) Israeli atrocities. And the longer the thread went on, the more that thread became about, surprise SURPRISE—you got it—Israel. So much for your sarcasm.


Greg F., just to reminisce I perused many of my posts on that thread, and others that struck a chord with me. A person named Roberto made some very cogent arguments. I wish I wrote half so well as he. You posted there as well. What really struck me was that then, as now, you do not understand the meaning of the word 'theocracy', as I told you the other day.
--Greg F. [posting 4 years ago] Query: Why are theocracies like Iran & the Taliban universally condemned while the theocracy that is Israel universally praised? --
QED.
