		<description>&lt;i&gt;why deny him a chance to continue his eductaion and have a brighter future since the kid is smart and talented&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why allow &quot;bright and talented&quot; kids the ability to learn how to make the next generation of weapons to kill innocent people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not innocent kids. There is a reason why Israel denied them, but not others, and there is a reason why the US State Department revoked their visas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They want to study in the US?&lt;br /&gt;FUCK THEM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are plenty of students in the world who haven&#039;t tried to murder innocent people and who didn&#039;t support terror groups.</description>

<p>Why allow &#8220;bright and talented&#8221; kids the ability to learn how to make the next generation of weapons to kill innocent people?</p>
<p>These are not innocent kids. There is a reason why Israel denied them, but not others, and there is a reason why the US State Department revoked their visas.</p>
<p>They want to study in the US?<br />FUCK THEM</p>
<p>There are plenty of students in the world who haven&#8217;t tried to murder innocent people and who didn&#8217;t support terror groups.</p>

		<description>Lo, you can&#039;t do this by yourself. If it was a challenge, that&#039;s one thing, but this is just not fair. This is precisely why I always tell Arabs to let their women handle the propaganda. Just trust me on this one. They&#039;re masterful at it; the men can&#039;t think even one step ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Lo. The Palestinian struggle is &quot;100%&quot; equivalent with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. But please don&#039;t tell anyone. I&#039;m begging you. Don&#039;t mention it to anyone!</description>

		<description>The analogy is 100% valid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are trying to set up a scenario where an occupied people are prevented from resisting the occupation purely because of the race of their occupiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore I conjured up another occupation from history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just as the Jews weren&#039;t seeking to &quot;murder Ayrans&quot; in their attempt to alleviate the hell of the Warsaw ghetto, the Palestinians aren&#039;t engaged in the policy of ethnic cleansing when seeking the overthrow of their oppressors – in this case, Israeli Jews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is, F, the goal of resistance – any resistance – is to end oppression. Yet you would have us believe that resistance is actually a desire to single out a racial group for extermination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That&#039;s why you&#039;re a fucking idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a racist.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;at least it gave you the opportunity to dive head-long into your Holocaust-justifies-everything mode&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this cookie cutter response really necessary, or justified? Talk about bigotry! You compared the Palestinians in the West Bank to Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. I felt it necessary to inform your ridiculous, shallow and propagandistic analogy, which is the result of sheer, willful ignorance. Nowhere did I say that &quot;Holocaust-justifies-everything&quot;. You could have just responded with, &quot;you&#039;re right, it wasn&#039;t a good analogy&quot;, instead of continuing this meaningless ping pong match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, let&#039;s try it. I&#039;ll give you a chance to say, &quot;it wasn&#039;t a good analogy&quot;, and then I&#039;ll proceed to your other points. There is a difference between fighting a war and fighting facts. We should all abstain from the later.</description>

		<description>Shit!!!!! HIDEOUS TYPO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I, on the other hand, along with most other members of the human race with an IQ above 90, believe the Palestinians have [DELETE THE &quot;NO&quot;] right to resist oppression, apartheid and occupation because the perpetrators are engaging inhuman and illegal oppression, apartheid and occupation. They could be Jews, they could be from Mars.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course I believe Palestinains HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESIST OCCUPATION, APARTHEID AND OCCUPATION.... and it is enshrined in international law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the race of the perpertrators is UTTERLY IRRELEVANT to the exercise of that right.</description>

<p>&#8220;I, on the other hand, along with most other members of the human race with an IQ above 90, believe the Palestinians have [DELETE THE "NO"] right to resist oppression, apartheid and occupation because the perpetrators are engaging inhuman and illegal oppression, apartheid and occupation. They could be Jews, they could be from Mars.&#8221;</p>
<p>Of course I believe Palestinains HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESIST OCCUPATION, APARTHEID AND OCCUPATION&#8230;. and it is enshrined in international law.</p>
<p>And the race of the perpertrators is UTTERLY IRRELEVANT to the exercise of that right.</p>
