Actually, while not agreeing with Apu, I do not think he is an idiot. He is a skilled researcher and a fairly entertaining writer. He also seems to be able to keep his calm and wits about him. Perhaps he isn't as emotionally tied to this. I think he has done a fair job of pointing out attrocities that have been committed against Palestine as I4E has done a fair job of pointing out the attrocities that have been committed against Israel. If this was truly a one-sided argument it would have been solved a long time ago. Instead, it is a powder keg of issues that all reach to the very core of our being human. Security, faith, justice, anguish for loved ones, etc. As for APU's hatred of Jews, I4E has demonstrated his hatred of Palestinians, Arabs, and anyone who disagrees with his point of view.

Another sticky point in negotiations. Would it be ok if the Palestinians said Israel has the right to exist over there, but not here?

I'll be honest, I've been trying to refute many of Apu's claims and it is difficult. I am not saying they are factual, just harder to debunk. I didn't find just one UN or Amnesty International denouncement of Palestine, there are a bunch to wade through. Have they also condemned Israel? Yes they have. And the Physicians group you cited does seem to be a Palestinan only group. Of course they are touting Pro-Palestinian view points. As far as your earlier post regarding a newspaper poll. I'm not a rocket scientist but I have done and reviewed enough scientific research to know the difference. If I was the NRA and wanted to poll Americans on gun control, I would poll ranchers in Wyoming and produce results that matched what I wanted. If I was the AARP, I would survey retirement communities in Florida. If we polled Illinois residents about airport noise would the results be different in Rosemont and Sleepy Hollow? You cannot believe any newspaper poll with out knowing the methods used in their research. I have never seen one that was scientific based. If they phoned Palestinians, they just narowed their search to only those Palestinians rich enough to own phones, and you've told us most Palestinians live in poverty. If this was a self selected poll. (hello, are you a Palestinian?) anyone could have voted and confounded the results. If this was an internet poll, even worse. I reject a lot of surveys that are posted as pro Palestinian for the same reasons.

Actually I am certain APU would agree that Amnesty is the most anti-Israel Organization out there. Especially after reading that link.

yus talkin' to me?

BTW, what's this thread about?

Good thing we crippled their economy. They do not have the money to maintain their nuclear arsenal and reactors. I am certain the nuclear mushroom cloud won't bother the US too much.

Linky to entire story It continues

Actually it seems to be an internal gear in an emergency brake assembly. And if I understood the article correctly (remember I am not a rocket scientist) it was reversed on one side only.

Sad when an Indiana white boy tries to rap . . .

Here's what I see

Amazing. Good advertising for the folks in Rockfjord This kind of stuff needs to be checked and rechecked before risking lives.

Steff, this time your bringing the big butt into it

From Amnesty International's Web Site Condemnation for Palestine Suicide Bombers Israel, do you ever search before posting? I am trying to understand your stance but when you make statements like the UN has never condemned Palestine, or Amnesty International, and they have, you hurt your credibility.

But what the Israelis are saying is "we do not care how many Israeli's will die in counter acts, we do not care what our biggest ally and country that is proping up our economy thinks (US), we're going to keep killing people until the violence ends"

Popcorn with tabasco

We finished 2nd last year after being in third most of the year. We lost more than any other team in our division, Colon, Flash, Alomar, Everett (our only All-Star offensive player). We added less than the Royals. How could anyone think this is going to magically get better? 3rd makes sense in a pre-season projection. 4th isn't that much of a stretch. Show me something and I'm a believer. But for a pre-season projection I do not see anything to warrent higher than 3rd.

As the world condemn Israel's actions we get ready for the bloodbath to follow.

Damn civil rights in this country.

One problem I have with the song is sometimes Kevin Mathew's parody comes blasting through. Imagine all the people, sniffing airplane glue . . . I'm glad PA isn't around right now, I guess I just got into an indie band, at least according to their web site. Anyone else heard of them?

I remember when the second plane hit, it was about the same time I realized these were not just small private planes with some idiot bent on killing just himself. At no time did I ever think it was an accident. YASNY, I lost my brother when he was only 23. Nature never intended a parent to bury a child. I cannot imagine a worst experience to go through. My prayers to you.

It is hard to believe. Religion has produced fanatics that lose sight of what their religion is teaching. Once you believe you have moral superiority over another, things begin to get nutty. Hideous behavior of all kinds have been perpetuated under the misguided belief that God wants it that way. (or insert your higher being) I believe a basic premis that All humans are basically good All humans want security All humans can live on this planet, it's plenty big enough for everyone.
