Re: elegy

if the palestinians had chosen to coexist under an israeli democracy, they would now be a majority. you may now draw your own conclusions.

I have heard that the current Palestinians population in Israel will reach the 50% of the registered voters in about 10 to 15 years, and most will be the young Israeli Palestinians.

You really think they can vote them out?

*****************************************
HOW TO RECOGNIZE
AN HONEST MAN
***********************************************
A readiness to speak against one's own interests, or the courage to face and admit openly one's own failings, is the hallmark of an honest man.
By contrast, parading as a holier-than-thou role model is the quintessence of dishonesty.
But the most dangerous form of dishonesty is the assertion that man is fallible in all matters except in his choice of belief systems.
*
When Gandhi, Einstein, and Thomas Mann were offered the presidency of India, Israel, and East Germany respectively, they said, no thanks. Which reminds me of Plato's dictum that those who seek power are the least qualified to handle it. That to me might as well be the most convincing explanation as to why world history is an endless catalog of lies, disasters, and tragedies.
*
Our local paper has a literary critic who manages a bookstore. He contributes a regular weekly column devoted to new books and he is unfailingly kind to all the writers he discusses. Who takes him seriously? Only dupes, and there must be quite a few of them because he has been in business for many years.
*
Closer to home: to defend one's views just because they are one's own, even when the evidence is against them, is another instance of dishonesty. But the most widespread and universal symptom of dishonesty is saying “Yes, sir!” to someone simply because he has more power or money or prestige. Speaking for myself, I don't think those who speak in the name of God and capital (make it, Capital and god) are wiser than the rest of us. If anything, it's the other way around. Which is why I maintain the most egregious case of dishonesty is the assertion by the Catholic Church that in matters of faith the Pope is infallible – an assertion rejected even by some eminent Catholic theologians. Because, if true, all other organized religions, including an important faction of Christians, must be wrong. Which they may well be, but not because they reject the Pope's infallibility.

Re: elegy

Can moderate Jews really exist in Israel? The majority of the population was at one point made up of settlers and Zionists. They recently elected a bunch of parties that are opposed to the 1967 borders.

there are even anti-Israeli and pro-palestinian xxxs!

You're confusing J3ws, Zionists and Israelis. The most dangerous of them all are "Christian Zionists"!

Well said Kanada. This is the distinction between racism and legitimate realism.

let us therefore agree that j3ws,
very much like armenians,
are not a monolyth but a mosaic...
and if you are against one faction,
you will be for the rest.
it follows, there is no and there cannot be anti-semitism;
the xxxs were not persecuted,
and the Holocaust,
very much like our Genocide,
is a fiction of our collective imagination.
yes?

Re: elegy

Yo Ara it is not us armenians denying the hollacaust but it is the xxxish lobby following a zionist agenda helping deny the genocide. The problem i and many others have is not with the xxxish race, but it is with the racist ideology of zionism. People like me are not the racist ones we are fighting racism just like i have been raving against it with biggets in this forum many times. Zionism=RACISM!!!!!! Your deductions and inductions are on a gradeschool level man like you need to reevaluate your whole thinking process.

That was a very interesting article. I have studied history much but i did not know about the khazarian xxxs although their zionist agenda is much too familiar. I got a feeling mr Ara is going to say thats racist to. Appearently if you are a xxx you are beyond criticism in Ara's mind.

Re: elegy

zionist racism is a survival tactic.
if the whole world is after your ass,
and the zionists refuse to drop their pants and bend over,
i say more power to them.
call me a zionist too!
