Israel's Colin cancer
The U.S. Secretary of State fancies himself as a Winston Churchill when, in fact, there is a closer analogy with Neville Chamberlain.

The Powell belief system reinforces the State Department's essence that the United States must be an "honest broker." This reduces America to the status of referee at a boxing match, although in this particular fight, we are not dealing with two equally moral players who follow the same rules or have the same goals. The truth is that the present Palestinians are made up of largely anti-American, pro-terrorist people led by the founder of modern terrorism Yasser Arafat, versus the Israelis who represent a struggling democracy modeled after America. Of course these two groups must be treated differently, despite the EU rhetoric.

Powell has embraced a European mentality that Jews not be permitted to fight terrorism in the same manner as everyone else. There must be a "negotiated" cease-fire with Hamas, Islamic Jihad and al Aqsa. And if Jews dare kill terrorist leaders, that will somehow hinder peace talks. Powell and Straw are the immoral diplomatic twins, who truly behave in a similar manner. When Syria lashed out at Powell for his comments about their harboring Iraqis, the American "statesman" was speechless. Jack Straw could suddenly find no words for Iran when they raked him over the coals recently. A deafening silence by two leaders who usually love to hear themselves.

1. Okay...
Powell is such an anti-war fanatic that he only lied knowingly in front of the UN to get us to war. How reasonable!

"New housing products" equals stealing land from the Palestinians a and developing it to secure it from being rightfully returned.

2. no, israel has unique methods
Powell has embraced a European mentality that Jews not be permitted to fight terrorism in the same manner as everyone else.

Israel's methods of "fighting terrorism" are not like the EU's. Israel does it by shooting unarmed children, stealing land, bulldozing homes and farms, and using modern military weaponry to assassinate civilian leaders. i can't think of any other country that uses all of these methods. the US has unfortunately started borrowing from Israel's playbook, but that doesn't make it right.

5. Quote - "He is a problem. I will leave it at that."

6. FYI,
The poster you’re referring to has openly expressed his support for “extermination” and “liquidation” of people in two separate posts of his.

The polluting beliefs as such, no matter which side of the political spectrum they come from, are extremely sickening and should not be allowed to be advertised in a “progressive” forum.

7. not "people"
Edited on Thu Sep-04-03 08:34 AM by Aidoneus
they were "animals", who can apparently be distinguished by their unique racial smell, that he applauds on the "liquidation" of.

One can read such interesting things here from time to time, though I ordinarily appreciate such frankness and scorn for ambiguity.
