In Any War Between The Civilized Man ....

Well, that's part of why you have trouble understanding other people.

Oh, that's rich.

BTW, most style guides recommend not capitalizing pronouns referring to god. Even many bibles don't.

When's the last time you paid us a visit Kid?

1989. Btw, I visited some other states too.

Here's a simple key.

Lobbing rockets into civilians = uncivilized.

Not lobbing rockets into civilians = civilized.

even as drones aren't technically rockets they still have the same impact on the street where people are conducting their everyday life meeting their neighbors and suddenly there's a big explosions and everyone around u is dead in this terror attack. would u care if it was a rocket, guy with a suicide west, or drone? nobody would. now it's shown that drones kill 30 civilians per 1 suspect. so US indeed is having a campaign of terror, even in countries they're not in war with, like pakistan. which is a country with nuclear weapons and shouldn't be messed with!

However politically incorrect it may seem now, the notion that random tribes in New Guinea were (and remain!) less civilized than, say, Western Europe, wasn't wrong.

The notion that Israel is more civilized than the Arab world in general also isn't wrong.

arabs are behind major inventions historically. in no way could they be called savage. israel however is in a campaign of terror, even putting pics of palestine children on a crosshair on internet. that's not too civilized behaviour, sounds more like mental sickness to me. many arab nations being bombed regularly having all their infrastructure destroyed on regular basis will keep them in a state where life's basic requirements becomes the only goal. look at dubai for example, they're doing pretty well. time to go bomb them back to 18th century so u can call them savages too.

and see what's happening in iran when iran is following the IAEA nuclear nonproliferation rules and simply trying to build nuclear power plants. look how hard US & israel are trying to keep them from doing it, holding them back technologically. making whatever LIES that iran is a threat, when they haven't conquered a country for over 200 years. same cannot be said about israel which refuses to sign the IAEA even as they were caught trying to sell illegal nuclear weapons to south africa which is the very act the nuclear nonproliferation treaty is supposed to stop! all this hindering is what's keeping these nations back. if someone came bombing ur nuclear power plants and overthrow ur government every once in a while with hired mercenaries acting as real popular uprising u'd revert back being a savage very quickly as well!

If you're going to do something as obnoxious as go through a year-old thread responding to every post that catches your interest over 9 pages, at least have the decency to multiquote.

i was gonna leave only 1 message first, then noticed the errors of perception i had to correct personally and thought about editing it in multi-quote but damage was already done. my apologies for that

So Islam was there first?

I'm reasonably any of several different kinds of non-Abrahamic beliefs were there first. Basing property rights and sovereignty on which sky god you believe has primacy is rather dim. What decides the outcome ? Deity World Wrestling ?

My money's on Kali-Durga with a full nelson into a submission, with decapitation as the decider.

Those are harsh words. .

This is Sister Ben Goebbels Of The Pass Laws, apartheid apologist extraordinaire you're talking about. His self-pity party extends to ludicrous claims that the Canadian Government persecutes the Roman Catholic Church in Canada.

The Oldest Christian shrines are located there - the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - the tombs of Mary, etc..

Any chance you believe in the Donations Of Constantine too ? If you're a sucker for early Mediaeval tourist traps, you can buy a Holy Prepuce and a slightly dog-eared head Of John The Baptist from me.

Oh and some slightly sour milk of the Virgin too. Not for use on your Fruit Loops. I'm afraid my last piece of the True Cross was used in a game of fetch with a friend's dog. Perhaps you'll receive its whereabouts in a nocturnal vision featuring St Jude.

How about when they shoot RPGs at school buses? How about when they blow up suicide bombs in shopping centers? Or do you conveniently not remember the second intifada?

How soon they forget. Well, assumes they knew in the first place.

Thus, the fallout from that terrorist insurgency sixty years ago is still playing out on the local, regional, and world stages, making it a campaign of strategic significance.

Not a Muslim or Christian Arab or Iranian terrorist insurgency, but a Jewish and Zionist one of course.

Suicide bombers :

When the British passed death sentences on convicted terrorists, British military personnel and civilians were abducted and held for ransom. Two Intelligence Corps sergeants were executed by the Irgun after a mock trial. Their booby-trapped bodies were hung in an orange grove. Facing the death penalty, two imprisoned Irgun members sacrificed themselves in a "martyrdom operation": they blew themselves up in prison with a smuggled grenade.

You're talking about real people with real lives, whose lives have been in one place for generations.

Ah. You mean like those Christian and Muslim occupants of property and land formerly under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, then under various British and French mandates ? If it's a contest of generations does this mean they win having been in continuous occupation for longer ?

[molly bloom]

Are you saying that the British liberated Arabs in the area from Turkish suzerain?

More stupid than ever. Did the inhabitants of those territories get a choice as to which of the winning powers at Versailles would get which mandate ? Did they get to vote to go to war on the side of the Ottoman Empire ?

Clearly they were at fault for not employing the persuasive techniques of, say, the Stern Gang, against Enver Pasha and the Ottomans...

Thanks for the warning, stranger!

Ben would support South African apartheid on the basis of the outcome of the Anglo-Zulu War.

He supports the apartheid era governments because he's wholly unaware of their anti-semitism and or hates blacks. And can't stand people having sympathy for those who have genuinely suffered for their beliefs. Gets in the way of his self pity party and martyrdom complex.
