In Vietnam the VC used similar tactics, and we all know the outcome of that war.

Good catch Wildcat. Funny how they are willing to use the Holocaust to characterize the Israeli as Nazis, but at the same time deny the Holocaust to keep saying that Israel is not legitimate.

Yep, the Khmer Rouge genocide. The horrors of Cambodia & Laos.

Gaza pales by comparison. Actually, there is no comparison.
And in the meantime, the IDF is doing an excellent job.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/959917.html
Barak asked Justice Minister Daniel Friedmann on Sunday to determine the legality of the IDF attacks (against populated areas in gaza which are being used as 'cover' for launching missiles).

Like the fascist Israelie government really cares about violating human rights.

So they ask each other if it's OK.

I wonder what the answer will be??????

This is ostensibly a skeptic's forum

Why wonder? The answer will be forthcoming, and you can read all about it.
I asked you previously why you are here in the JREF forums, and so far, I am still trying to figure it out. Your contributions have been non-sequiturs, and brusque, and not helping to make discussion with you easy. You ducked-out of the first thread you joined (with a quick "goodby") and now you are taking pot-shots wherever you can.


Here's what we know so far about you:
Holocaust denier.
Islamic radical.
Anti-Israelie (or however you wish to spell it)
Personal attacker.


I have yet to report you to the moderators for breaching your membership agreement here, but you're treading on thin ice.
(Primary Rule of Membership: We will not tolerate "Extremely cruel or hateful content directed toward another user")

As an Israeli citizen, I do consider your statements to be both cruel and hateful, in the extreme.

This sort of tripe from SunniMan needs to stop, right here, and right now:
  • Now the zionist jews of Israel have became the modern day Nazis.
    And have actually become worse in the sick art of brutality and torture than the nazis ever were.

Take that crap somewhere else, SunniMan, it doesn't fly here.

You demanded that I leave another thread, so I did. Remember?

So why are you following me?

I have not EVER personally attacked anyone. Check it out.

I haven't violated any rules.

But I have been attacked many times on this forum. I am a man, so I can take it.

Weak posters are the ones crying to the modertors when their arguments are shot down and showed to be bogus.

What I am saying, is if you believe so strongly in your convictions. Then stand up and present them in an intellectual dialogue.

That's all that I do. I present what I believe in. And argue my point.

Because you finally meet someone who is intellectually superior, don't let it get you down.

Just try harder!!!!!

Extremist statements which are then "qualified" is a well known tactic to plant "this guy means business....and I like it" in the minds of hawkish radicals. The qualification tends to be shrugged off by the target audience along the lines of "well, he had to say that to stop the wimps moaning...but we know what he (wink wink)really means"
You might be right. I thought he was just using shoah to mean a disaster. Which would show that he didn't think about how many Palestinians who genuinely (albeit wrongly in my opinion) fear genocide would interpret shoah to mean another Holocaust.

If he actually wanted the Palestinians to interpret the word as meaning a new Holocaust, then that is even worse. I can imagine ordinary Palestinians would feel enormous fear at these words but I can't see the Palestinian extremists being anything but pleased to have their views seemingly vindicated. Not to mention the damage to Israel's reputation overseas.

Wow, gone for a couple weeks and some troll spouting perversions of Islam shows up here...

Heh, if you're looking for virgins in the afterlife Sunni Man you'll need to do more than just spout radical rhetoric on a bulletin-board, but you knew that right? So, I'm curious...do you really think the belief in or parroting of the perverted radicals that believe in a deity that rewards cowardly attacks on non-combatants, including women and children, with a 'Paradise' populated with horny virgins is reflective of true skepticism/critical thinking? I didn't think so.

He's just a troll webfusion fishing for a bite and ain't worth even a temporary rise in BP.

Anyway, responding to the OP - that choice of words wasn't politically correct, was it? Now was it a "Freudian slip" regarding potential Israeli plans for Gazan retribution in the same vein as the Holocaust? No. End of story.

Now that I explained everything, I leave you all in peace.

Earlier I posted something in this thread, without 'evidence' --- I should have taken a moment to provide some sort of link which gives a fair measure of support to my statement:

"This is all being orchestrated from Iran, and I would not put it past the Iranians to even join in themselves, with a barrage of Shihab-3 & 4 ballistic missiles, just for sport."

(from Post # 23.)

Tha Iranians are preparing the groundwork for just that eventuality, apparently...
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/959923.html
"The Islamic (people) must rise and the Islamic leaders must hit the (Zionist) occupying regime in the face with their nations' anger," Khamenei's statement said.


and

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has described the (IDF limited combat actions) as a holocaust against the Palestinian people.

I'd be very surprised if the Iranians actually got overtly involved themselves, that's not their style, although I believe it's quite possible that if Israel launches a Gazan invasion Iran would encourage Hezbollah to stir up some trouble on Israel's northern border region.

Sunni,

Either you are acknowledging that Abbas has described the operations as a holocaust or you are delberately misrepresenting what webfusion wrote.

Either way you are doing your credibility no good.

Steve H -- I dunno. Those mullahas are nuts. So is Ahmadinejad.
In December of 1990, most people were saying that SCUDs were not going to be fired at Israel by Iraq, it was just "too, too unlikely", and yet, all through January, February and March, we lived through the barrages of nightly incoming ballistic missiles in Ramat Gan.


You are right about not getting into a pissing contest with SunniMan, he's sure not worth it.

For the record, I have not posted anything detrimental about Muslims, nor denigrated Islam.

I entered this thread at Post #6, giving a Hebrew word for "disaster" and there certainly was nothing offered by me within this thread even remotely insulting to Islam.

The only other thread where I was engaged with SunniMan was THIS ONE:
http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...3&postcount=63
(where I related a parable illustrating the propensity of Arabs to believe their own lies)

Perhaps he's referring to a question I asked about a book illustration?
http://forums.randi.org/showpost.php...&postcount=147
(Never got any answer to that question of what he thinks, BTW, since he refused to look at it.)

You know what, I believe that I'll just sit here for a while and see what inanity pops up next from this SunniMan. He's just up to Post #170-something and keeps on going (like the Energizer Bunny, banging away on his little drum).

Yea, and I think we should stop feeding the trolls in Gaza and "Palestine", too. Hopefully they will too just wither away and die.

They were an effective weapon of terror, for a short time. In realistic terms, they were worthless. Israel has nukes, and any real threat to it would have seen the state of Iraq wiped out.
