I add here---that the London tragedy is a hell of a lot more germaine than your diatribes---and we should stay on that and mourn the loss of innocents from fanatics who, for whatever sick reason, believe they have the right to be judge, jury, and decide the fate of others. You may well applaud them---I say NO---swift justics should be meted out---when we are sure the right parties are "collared"

Yes, Wolfgang, Gaza is still in dispute. There are many people in Israel who are still working very hard to prevent the handover of Gaza. I'll stop including Gaza in statements like that one after it's been handed over. A lot can happen between now and then.


On the subject of assumptions (and making an ass of one's self)...

When I post something in red letters, it is to increase the chances that my words will be seen. Any assumptions about my emotional state when I do so are nothing more than that - assumptions, and more often than not, they will be wrong assumptions.

The land that Jordan took was later captured and occupied by Israel in the 1967 war. This is the land that is now in dispute, and that the Palestinians want as their homeland. This land, btw, is the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. (Carol)
Gaza?

Back to the start of the thread. When the first news came in I knew that there would be people (mostly the same) at Mudcat saying 'conspiracy'. They always do when the actual culprits don't fit into their prejudices. Meanwhile it is obvious except to the most closed-minded that it was an Al Qaeda attack (though this is now probably more a general brand name than an actual strongly led group. The name is there for grabs for any Muslim fundamentalist groups prone to violent action).

What drives these people is much more fundamental than Iraq, Afghanistan or Israel. This type of violence would not stop if some demands were met. Meeting some demands only could help to dissuade some of their new blood.

CarolC, calm down - my post was not referring to yours, just to the state of the thread. It's like watching a tennis match with several participants; heads go left, right, further left, and so on, and one cannot get a sense of the whole discussion. The thread started with the question about why Guliani was in London to be interviewed (apparently he was on holiday - true or false, who knows), but the discussion soon descended to bickering.

Now, I did not attack you, but you felt the need to lash out, even to the level of pointing out that my own note too was off the point (!). I don't mind, I still often agree with your postings, though not always with their manner or tone, but hey - it's a free internet, one can say what they want anyway, and we don't have to like each other.

I am only guessing from your manner, but you must be a frustrating person to like when you hit out at friends like this.

Over and out - the other thread on London is more interesting.

No, the fact that you have nothing of substance to add to any discussion. But I am also beginning to conclude that you are a troll.


By the way EL GREKO... the actual subject of this thread is Peter Woodruff's suggestion that the London bombings and the 9/11 attacks were both a part of a conspiracy by the governments of the US and Britain to create an excuse for the "war on terror".

With that in mind, all but the first few posts on this thread are off topic. Yours included.

Trouble is, people want to discuss the issues they want to discuss. And so this thread has strayed from its original title and presumably also from its intent.

Which is why yesterday's GUEST comment on Jordan's being well endowed (referring of course to British model or whatever she is) was the closest to the thread's title; because of the British reference.

For the rest, much of this thread reads boringly similar to dozens of other threads on the subject of muslims, jews, bigotry, Bush, Blair, the media etc etc. Many valid opinions are lost in the midst of posters trying to outdo each other and score points off each other.

It's just a rehash and leads nowhere.

If you don't want me to tell you what is in your heart and in your mind... don't tell me what is in my heart and mind. Until you live up to the expectations you have of me, don't expect me to do so either.

All I want to do is discuss the issues. But you are so threatened by what I have to say on the issues, you keep making it personal and making personal ad hominem attacks on me.

I will not bring up the subject of Israel/Palestine myself unless there is an extremely compelling reason for me to do so.

The obsession is not mine, but that of people like you who hate all Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims, and/or who see them as less than human, and who just can't pass up an opportunity to spread hate toward these peoples.

It is my responsibility as a person of conscience to point out such behavior when I encounter it, and to combat all forms of hatred wherever and whenever I encounter them. This is what I do, and will continue to do... whether you like it or not.

That should, however, be a different topic---this is about the tragic events in London created---it seems --by some home grown fanatics who felt an embrace---wrongfully believed---to Islam makes this proper. I am sure that true believers will disavow their acts, motives, and intentions.

Etnic cleansing and clumsey attempts to manipulate the religious and ethnic content of the state lies at the root of the tragedy of Israel/Palestine.If the refugees from the war of 1948 had been allowed to return home the end of the fighting the population of Israel would be much more evenly balanced between Jews and Muslime and Christians, and it is likely that it would now be living peacefully alongside a separate Palestinian state in partnership with it, and in friendship with neighbouring countries.

As I understand it, that kind of situation is what was envisaged by the   founders of Zionism.

Perhaps it's a pity that this thread has been so radically diverted from the London bombings - but it has and it'd make more sense for anyone with stuff to say about that to do so in the other thread about the bombings, rather than struggle vainly to bring this one back in line again..

Considering the way you think it's ok to hold all Muslims accountable for the actions and words of a very small percentage of them, I think it would be perfectly reasonable for people to hold you personally responsible for every reprehensible thing that has ever been done by White Christians of European ancestry, and also for every reprehensible thing that has ever been done by men.

Israel is a legitimate state. Period. They defended the land that was going to be taken from them by their Arab neighbors--who have no use for their own brethren.

Nobody in this discussion is saying Israel is not a legitimate state. But they did far more than defend the land they had originally been given. They also stole quite a lot of land that had been given to others, and now they are in the process of stealing from the Palestinians the West Bank, (possibly) Gaza, and East Jerusalem.

Thread Drift---hell, what happened in London (as far as this discussion is concerned) is about as far removed from --in these great minds-- as the Blitz is in the many years that have gone by.

To get back on the track---the Jordan/ Egypt/ 1948/ etc' has been talked to death here already---Israel is a legitimate state. Period. They defended the land that was going to be taken from them by their Arab neighbors--who have no use for their own brethren.

But, the Brits. They surely have handled their situation w/ great restraint and come to some quick conclusions without jumping at them as we did in Oklahoma City, for one. Their press, known for banner tabloid headlines,has been the image of restraint and objectivity. More that our own press, I must say.

The balancing act of freedom and security is a tough one. Let us hope that they and we can come to a good balance so that our way of life is not impacted by those who--for whatever twisted reasons--would destroy it. It will, surely, take a fair-minded administration on both sides of the pond to come up with such a balance. Here it is not balancing too well by leader(s) who state that they have never made any mistakes.   Such surety---please.

For many years there has been a general consensus in Israel that a Palestinian state is inevitable. What the Palestinians need is leadership that will stop the terrorism. When that happens, the Palestinian state will be created in very short order.

This is simply laughable. The Palestinian leadership should not be under any obligation to provide security for the people who are occupying their land. What Israelis need is leadership who will end the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. When that happens, Palestinian terrorism against Israel will be eliminated in very short order.

GUEST is incorrect on all fronts.

The Palestinians have been trying to get a homeland of their own since before the 1948 war. They have never stopped trying to get their own state. They have been thwarted in their objectives by both Israel as well as Jordan. But it has been their dream and their ambition all along.

To say that the Palestinians could have created a state at any time is simply a lie. Neither Jordan nor Egypt had any intention of letting them do that. But at least Jordan and Egypt didn't run them out of their homes and off their land. And they didn't bulldoze their olive groves. In that respect, the Palestinians did not have quite as much incentive to resist the Jordanians and the Egyptians as they do the Israelis.

CarolC seeks to minimize the number of Israelis killed by Palestinian terrorists. If you take the number Israelis killed since the beginning of the second Intifada as a proportion of the population, it is the equivalent of 11 9/11 attacks or as if 33,000 had been killed that day.

You, GUEST, are seeking to minimize the number of Palestinians killed by Israelis. There have been thousands of Palestinians killed. More than three for every Israeli killed. I don't know the ratio of Palestinians to Israelis overall, but if we use your equation, the number of Palestinians killed by Israelis would be equal to or greater than 33 9/11 attacks, or as if 99,000 or more Palestinians had been killed that day.

Perhaps you seek to minimize these numbers because like Bill H, you do not regard Palestinians as human beings.

Carol C. is right about the Palestinians. They have been denied a homeland by the establishment of Israel. Where are you from?

Dianavan is obviously ignornt of modern Middle Eastern history to make a statement like that.

At the time of the establishment of the State of Israel, the Palestinians rejected a state of their own. From 1948 until 1967 the West Bank and East Jerusalem were part of Jordan and Gaza was part of Egypt. They could have created a Palestinian state at any time during those years but there was absolutely no interest in the establishment of a Palestinian state. Instead the Palestinians waited for the Arabs to drive the Jews into the sea.

After the 1973 war, Anwar Sadat of Egypt realized that driving the Jews into the sea wasn't going to happen and Egypt concluded a peace treaty with Israel. Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt and wanted to give back Gaza. However, Egypt decided the Palestinians in Gaza weren't worth the trouble and wouldn't take Gaza back.

Years later, Jordan also concluded a peace treaty with Israel. By then, had also long ago decided the Palestinians in the West Bank were too much trouble and had no interest in taking back the West Bank.

For many years there has been a general consensus in Israel that a Palestinian state is inevitable. What the Palestinians need is leadership that will stop the terrorism. When that happens, the Palestinian state will be created in very short order.

Blaming Israel for the fact that there is not yet a Palestinian state is the province of either ignorance or anti-Semitism.

The land that Jordan took was later captured and occupied by Israel in the 1967 war. This is the land that is now in dispute, and that the Palestinians want as their homeland.

I seem to rememder reading somewhere that a lot of Palestine was taken over by Jordan. Perhaps a homeland could be established there?

Just to clarify though... I am not now, and never have been suggesting that the part of Israel that lies within the Green Line should be taken from the Israelis. I am saying that the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem should end, and the Palestinians who live in those places should be left alone by Israel to establish their own state in peace and freedom.

jpk - Its comments like this, "you want better insight into the moslim world,just ask the dutch.[i talked to a friend of mine(one of the few)in norway that i met in the late 70s while in the service,he told me that they are getting really feedup with "them"]...

that expose your ignorance. How can you base your opinions on the heresay of just one of the Dutch. Don't you think that it is just one opinion? You make it sound as if all of the Dutch are fed up with Muslims and that all Muslims are terrorists.

Carol C. is right about the Palestinians. They have been denied a homeland by the establishment of Israel. Where are you from? Maybe we should take your homeland and give it to the poor Sudanese from Darfur.

Try to wrap your head around the fact that terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. A terrorist is a terrorist. When other criminals are arrested, we do not identify their religion. Why do you assume that all Muslims are responsible for the actions of a few?

The face of 9-11 in London falls nicely into place for the renewal of the Patriot Act.

The only things that are missing from the Patriot Act this time around are the sunset clauses. In other words: when/if the Patriot Act is "renewed" this week it will be FOREVER !!!!!!!!

And of course, the option of shooting them has been tried many, many times. That approach doesn't seem to be working too well either. But I am also not at all surprised to see that you approve of killing people for the purpose of stealing their property.

I'm not the one who brought up the Palestinians, Bill, though it doesn't surprise me in the least that you think I did. Actually, I almost never am the one who brings up the subject of Israel/Palestine. But I'm one of the few who isn't afraid to talk openly and honestly about it once someone else has brought it up, and to confront the many blatant falsehoods that are commonly repeated about that subject. And that's why you see my name in many of the discussions on the subject.

Or--possibly---shoot the critter because maybe your boot was on his neck for a reason.

Well, if you don't regard the Palestinians as actual people you might use the word critter. But if you are talking about human beings, as I am, you might want to consider why people would be wanting to defend their homes and their loved ones. Maybe because they have every right to do that. So if your foot is on their neck because you want to steal their land and livelihood, and they aren't too happy about you wanting to do that and they try to defend themselves, their property, and their loved ones, maybe you'd better keep your foot there.

If you do, though, don't be surprised if they keep stabbing you in the leg.

I wonder, Carol, why every discussion---this started as London 9/11 gets beamed up from you''like "Scotty"--into an Israeli/Palestinian thing. Let me see---I have the OED in front me --shall look up compulsive and obsessive.
