52% so far say yes...

[annabanana]

1. why do you assume

what answer DUers will give? (or freepers, for that matter?)

[Fridays Child]

5. Boy, is that ever a good question!

I didn't even think about that!

[Kire]

6. my thoughts exactly

what kind of answer does the OP want?

this is potential flame bait. It probably wouldn't make it in the Israel/Palestine Forum

[K8-EEE]

22. Why Can't This Question Be Asked?

From FR:

This poll is cookie-controlled. If you clear your browser's cookies, you can vote more than once. :-)

So you see they very MUCH want NO there, and characteristically, are cheating.

[The Stranger]

7. Progressives oppose wanton military destruction of innocent civilians.

So it is a safe assumption.

[K8-EEE]

15. Um, No More Stupid, Destructive Wars

I would assume that many people here would not be up for supporting one democracy invading another because of the actions of a few...otherwise we ourselves would be OK with somebody bombing US because of GWB!!

However, you may all answer however you wish, of course! The Freeps all say NO so that's your first hint...

[K8-EEE]

20. Don't ASSUME: Here's The Freeper Thread

They are "closing the gap" by voting "no", do you see any dissent there? So we don't have to assume much on that count....they have a hard on for any wars/bombings that are not on their own head.

2. yes is 51% now

[Fridays Child]

3. Done and kicked.

[Waya]

4. Done......

51% Yes to 49% No as of now.....

[City Lights]

8. done. 50-50 now. eom

[Mugsy]

9. What exact is the "un-freep" answer?

Because I say "yes".

[K8-EEE]

29. Freeps Say No

So ding ding ding!

[Betsy Ross]

10. 50/50 n/t

[stepnw1f]

11. freepers are hitting this one

Good God these people cannot be Your children.

[God Almighty]

12. I agree with the poll. Israel has gone too far in killing innocent people

They are killing massive numbers of innoncent civilians and children and are guilty of war crimes. The leaders, who do not represent the Jews, should be hauled up on charges. Most Jews of conscience oppose Israel's current attacks and want the Government of Israel to stop the insanity.

[cool user name]

40. You are absolutely correct on that.

Look at Tikkun, B'Tselem, Jews for Justice, and others for confirmation on that.

These folks are very vocal about this disproportionate use of force as am I.

[Selatius]

13. Israel has gone too far at this point

There are responses and then there are overblown responses that are just going to make it worse.

[Terran1212]

14. Where's the option: Israel has gone fucking INSANE?

I wanna click that one.

[K8-EEE]

17. I Don't Even Know What Israel Hopes To Acheive By This

Honestly....do they really think this will stop terrorism? I don't!

[Terran1212]

25. On June 24 (the day before their corporal was kidnapped)

did they think that kidnapping two palestinians would not cause some kind of reaction? Did they think shelling a beach would not cause Hamas to end the ceasefire?!

Israel is NOT an innocent victim. I don't agree with a lot of what Hamas and Hezbollah are doing, but the media is borderline racist to not give the Arab point of view right now -- the POV of the people suffering the most.

[MamaBear]

33. More real estate.

Get real. They've wanted that area of southern Lebanon from the jump.

[eyl]

38. Uh

you are aware that Israel withdrew from that area of southern Lebanon 6 years ago?

[K8-EEE]

39. Yes But Why

is there never any kind of criticism of them when they take it in the first place. When Saddam went to Kuwait all hell broke lose but we will never do anything to Israel no matter what. I don't like supporting any nation (including the US) blindly no matter what they do.

[cool user name]

42. Either that or ...

A Christian vassal state.

6 of these, half a dozen of another.

[cool user name]

41. You cannot stop terrorism ...

When you employ its use.

Israel is fighting fire with fire and everyone is going to get burned.

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I answered 'yes'. Now it's 50/50.

[sellitman]

18. Both sides have gone to far...

For far too long.

No easy answers though.

[K8-EEE]

19. No Easy Answers...But This Is No Answer At All

There's a little kabob restaurant by my house run by a Lebanese family, I wonder how anybody could go in there right now and see their worry and anguish and think this is helping anything.

[OregonBlue]

21. Only 49% yes now!

[K8-EEE]

24. Freeps Are Multi-Voting (See Post)

It was 54% YES when they started:

VOTE FRAUD IS SOMETHING THEY'RE GOOD AT....AS WE ALL KNOW.

[pnorman]

34. A long time back at Freak Republic,

someone referred to a "Perl script" that would facilitate multiple voting. I guess that clearing out cookies and voting 40 times a minute, is what was meant. Had someone here at DU made such a statement, he/she would have been flamed to a crisp. That's one of the marks of distinction between the two communities.

PS: I voted (one time!) YES.

[mzteris]

36. if you mash your mouse button

really really HARD - I think it "counts" more.....

(sigh) At least it makes me feel one smidgen better when "voting" on these things. As if it makes one f'ing bit of difference to the whole process. :(


They've ALL gone insane. Killing people really works, doncha know? Being over-the-top brutal really works. I mean, we have millenia of examples that illustrate that if you "show 'em who's boss" then they'll just meekly knuckle under.

JHFC - how f'ing stupid ARE people anyway?

You can beat even a dog into "submission", but he'll bite you the first chance he truly gets.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

23. WTF?! Hell yes they've gone WAY too far!

And I am by no means a freeper!! You've lost your fucking mind! :grr:

[Lowell]

26. Now 51% say

not far enough. Who are these people? And why do they hate the world?

[K8-EEE]

28. Probably 70 Percent "Yes", Snickering Freeptards Are Cheating:

From FR, the "moral majority" is practicing for the Nov election! What a bunch of creeps....

*snicker*

[OhioChick]

27. Done n/t

[earthside]

30. 'Might DOESN'T Make Right'

That's what Olmert, Bush/Cheney/Rove just cannot comprehend.

[K8-EEE]

31. No Amount Of Failure Can Convince Them

That the world isn't just a few hundred bombs away from being safe and perfect...frankly they are insane!

[MamaBear]

32. 49/51 now.

Do you think Israel's offensive against Lebanon has gone too far? * 1564 responses
Yes 49%
No 51%

No surprises here.

[rosesaylavee]

35. Yes only at 47% now - Needs help

Do you think Israel's offensive against Lebanon has gone too far? * 1711 responses

Yes 47%
No 53%

[DELUSIONAL]

37. I am NOT pro war --

and I am not a knee jerk responder that whatever Israel does is correct.

Israels leaders are human and thus they make errors.

The current Israeli leadership is as flawed as the current US leadership.

Israel is WRONG WRONG WRONG.

How dare you assume that because you believe the myth that Israel is perfect and from god that all progressives and liberals believe just like you do.

The strength of liberals and progressives is that we can see many options -- we see the shades of grey.

How dare you assume because we want peace and dialog rather than blowing children up with made in USA bombs that we are freepers.

How dare you.

[zcflint09]

43. Done. 48% to 52%

Keep voting!
