To say that opponents of Israeli militancy is somehow anti Semitic is to say that such actions by Israeli forces are because they are Jews.

I guess that slurs Jewish people.

How fucking anti Semitic can you get?

No, I'm on the side of reality and the angels. I don't see gay people as sub human as Akenaton does, and I don't profess to be a member of a right wing fascist political party one minute and deny it later, as Keith does.

Keith is a "good Christian person" why don't you ask him if he shares your views on gay people Akenaton? If he has any courage of conviction, you might be interested in his answer. You see, the Christian view is that gay people are equal and can / should be married to each other. it is bigots and schisms that say otherwise, and they need mocking.

Even when you quote UN resolutions condemning Israel, Keith says they don't. A tactic best used by the nazis.

I am not too sure about Michael's sincerity. His comments lately have been reactionary, discriminatory and worthy of his favourite newspaper.

Akenaton is irrelevant to this, as his posts preclude judging his diatribe as a view, just a personality disorder. His last post I bothered reading said that Scotland will be a brotherhood of equal people, except gays because they spread disease and are only about 1% of the people anyway. I thought such views had either died out or were rightly too ashamed to spout them in the first place. He'd be a monster if he wasn't an insignificant small person.

Keith deliberately places himself in the firing-line with his extremism.
He comes with no fore-knowledge of most of the subjects he dominates (I notice with a little satisfaction that this has lessened of late) - he scrabbles round for 'evidence to back his case' (this has also lessened -now he just pronounces), and has nor taken to sneering at those who disagree with him and declares himself superior and the rest of us "muppets" - on several occasions he has declared himself "infallible".
He appears to 'get off' on defending the more despicable side of humanity.

My ignorance is non existent. My dog, lying at the side of me seems to know more about this than you.

Keith's post above requires the moderators to intervene because if people read it, they are reading awful lies, put about to defend Israeli terrorism.

Now to the facts, available only to special people. In order to get access, you need a computer and something called google. Keith is working on the principle that nobody can find out..

However, and I don't do this often, I shall now quote from the Wikipedia entry for Israeli aggression;

"The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a number of resolutions saying that the strategic relationship with the United States encourages Israel to pursue aggressive and expansionist policies and practices.[3] The 9th Emergency Session of the General Assembly was convened at the request of the Security Council when the United States blocked efforts to adopt sanctions against Israel.[4] The United States responded to the frequent criticism from UN organs by adopting the Negroponte doctrine."

Back to me now.

There are still 45 UN resolutions from the UN Human Rights Council outstanding against Israel since the council formed in 2006. To put that in context, that is almost half the resolutions they have made full stop against anywhere. Add the dozens of other UN from 1948 onwards and Israel is seen as a pariah state, only able to be an aggressor due to sympathisers funding US politics.

There is no official recognition by UN for Israel's aggression. Their excuse concerning Hamas missiles is that Hamas started it. Hamas only exist because Israel is an aggressor to its neighbours. Without Hamas missiles, Netanyahu might not win the next election. (Just in case anyone wonders what this is all about.)



Now we have the facts, back to discussing the terrorist actions from both sides in this dispute and stop all this disgraceful claptrap about Israel being legitimate when they target hospitals, schools, shelters and children playing on beaches.

I don't know where you get your information about military matters Keith, but I suggest you widen your search, or ask some soldiers. They might know a bit. Or at least, a damn site more than you.

One hundred and sixty-five rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel in the past 24 hours, according to Israeli military estimates. There have been no reports of deaths from the rocket attacks. About 45 of those rockets targeted cities in the centre of Israel – Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Hadera, 72 miles north of the Gaza Strip.

On Wednesday morning, several missiles were fired towards Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport. The city's smaller airstrip at Herzliya has been closed due to the threat of rocket fire
