Philly sucks way harder than Israel. Though he's in Virginia now anyway I think.

[giblets]

Should Alby move out of Philly once he's there?

[regexcellent]

She's right that they should move back now that they're there?

[giblets]

THIS is why she lost her job at the white house press corps. Not her comments on Iraq.

She's right, settling millions of westerners in a colony in the middle east was a stupid idea.

"We are owned by the propagandists against the Arabs. There's no question about that. Congress, the White House and Hollywood, Wall Street, are owned by the Zionists."

This is pretty much Q.E.D. for anti-jewish bigotry.

I should get into the lucrative world of bull****ting people for money.

The easiest way is to just bull**** your boss into thinking that you're actually working.

Good money in BS. I make a decent living from it.

"building houses,"

This is probably the most positive spin on ethnic cleansing I've ever seen.

If only the Serbs had American conservatives doing their PR work for them, NATO might not have bombed them back in the 90's.

i would expect that few canadian electors would change their votes based on a party's policy towards israel. although i'm just guessing here really.

Unlikely I think. If this was THE issue for you then I suspect your favourite party would already have been chosen.

Some of the weirder right wing religionistas like it because of the whole last days/Armageddon nonsense- not because they like Jews or Judaism.

Agreed.

The religious base loves Israel (the answer you were looking for wrt to the US support btw).

Some of the weirder right wing religionistas like it because of the whole last days/Armageddon nonsense- not because they like Jews or Judaism. Falwell only became non-anti-semitic in the late 1960s if I recall correctly.

Some quotes from 'Cities On A Hill' :

Well, if Jews are anything like they are today, they're richer than anybody else, so....

Liberty Baptist Summer School student

The lecturer declined to address this comment.

(Jews) ... have almost a supernatural ability to make money...

Moral Majority director, New York.

Do you think he means Shylock ?

The man Falwell himself :

A few of you here today don't like Jews. And I know why- he can make more money accidentally than you can make on purpose.

Of course I'm sure they're not basing these remarks on prejudice, but on well-substantiated facts.....

Iran (not an Arab country), under the Shah, was an Israeli ally.

Could someone remind regina what happened to Shah Reza Pahlavi ? And how he governed ? Oh, and Israel shared know-how with apartheid South Africa too. I suppose that redeems both states in your view....

[molly bloom]

No, **** Turkey. The Turks hate us. Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide.

And ? Japan routinely fails to address all its war crimes in Asia. The U.S. happily gave asylum and paid employment to ex-Nazis and Fascists post-WWII providing they had knowledge the government wanted and were sufficiently 'anti-communist'.

In any case, let's see the proof for this 'the Turks' hate us bilge., which has precious little to do in any case with official Turkish government denials of the Armenian genocide.

You seem to be growing vastly more ignorant day by day....
