		<description>Just a reminder that the islamoid claim on Jerusalem has no validity - Mohammad was never there.  He made up his dream story to cover up the fact he was out raping pigs like usual. The only good islamoid is a dead one...end of story.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Ultimately, we will have to completely overhaul the system in the US and institute a just and progressive government if we are ever to reign in Israel&#039;s abuses.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah! That&#039;s the ticket! Maybe.... communism? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#039;s mind boggling that people as overtly anti-semitic as the regulars on this blog take themselves so seriously when they discuss bias. What would the mainstream media have to do to convince people like the KABOBfest crowd that they are being sufficiently hard on Israel? Feed their journalists Jewish babies for breakfast, live on television? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do appreciate the irony of watching bigots squeel when they feel others are treating them badly, though. Hang in there! This is as good as it gets for people as hateful as you! The rest of your lives will be a continuous downhill slide into a bitter and lonely old age, so enjoy the good times for as long as they last! Just think how horrible your lives will be if the crisis in the middle east is ever actually solved? What will people like QuiQui do for fun then? I suppose she could continue shitting on the US but that&#039;s not generally a very productive way for a naturalized US citizen to behave, right? Maybe she can move to Guatemala and crusade against the government&#039;s human rights abuses? No? What&#039;s that you say, QuiQui? You don&#039;t actually want to be disappeared in the country of your birth!? She just want to act like a complete fuck towards your adopted homeland, is it? :o</description>

		<description>I think you are being charitable when you say that the media in the US is &quot;biased&quot; towards Israel. That implies the media&#039;s uncritical rehashing of Israeli propaganda is the result of some prejudice on the part of reporters, misinformation, or the human tendency to pick sides in a conflict. It is none of these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US media has gone beyond mere &quot;bias&quot; and it actively complicit in promoting and covering up Israel&#039;s war crimes and crimes against humanity. They are as culpable and involved as Goebbal&#039;s ministry of propaganda, or the psychopaths who got on the radio in Rwanda to tell people to go out and kill the Tutsis. They are far, far more sophisticated and slick than that, but at the end of the day, the message they are conveying is the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#039;t imagine for a second that there is a reporter anywhere who isn&#039;t aware that it was Israel, and not Hamas, that first violated the ceasefire with an armed incursion with tanks and infantry in which they killed and wounded a number of Palestinians. Yet they report the opposite and claim Israel&#039;s disproportionate attacks against civilian infrastructure are in self-defense. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#039;t imagine that they are not aware of the illegal and immoral siege Israel has laid on the people of Gaza, or the severe suffering and anger it has engendered. Or that Israel&#039;s occupation of the West Bank and construction of settlements are illegal and that Israel&#039;s brutal conduct against the Palestinians has been condemned as war crimes by human rights organizations. They are aware of all these things, but continue with the standard, boilerplate, &quot;Israel has a right to defend itself&quot; bullshit to justify aggression and barbarism that is little different in quality from what the Nazis did, whatever the difference in quantity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately, we will have to completely overhaul the system in the US and institute a just and progressive government if we are ever to reign in Israel&#039;s abuses. Israel is a powerful, vicious dog, but our government holds the leash, if it would but tug on it a few times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a lot to ask people to rise against their government, and I doubt it will ever happen barring severe, Gaza-like deprivation being visited on the American people by our own overlords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we can very easily defeat the propaganda arm of the powers that be. It is very simple. The mass media in this country is a business like any other. They depend on advertising revenue to make a profit which in turn is dependent on getting people to watch and listen to their programming or buy their newspapers and magazines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All we have to do, as individuals, is make the decision to turn off our televisions and radios, stop buying newspapers and magazines, and boycott any company that advertises on Fox News, CNN or other sources of propaganda and let them know that you are doing it. Don&#039;t visit sites like Huffpo or DailyKos or any other pseudo-leftist online media, or for that matter fascist sites like LGF. The media bullshit peddlers will be starved of revenue and die. Don&#039;t wait for a mass movement, or for MoveOn or other bogus &quot;liberal&quot; outfit to send out an email, just do it. Tell your friends to do it and explain the logic to them. It is something you can do as an individual and there is not a damned thing they can do about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many newspapers in particular are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Let&#039;s push them over and be rid of them for good.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; How can any attack be unjustified, then? I can rape your mother if the cops bust me for speeding. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel rapes Gaza for electing Hamas, so to use Ziothink, it is okay to rape someone&#039;s mother over a speeding ticket, or whatever else you wish to use as an excuse for barbaric behavior. Even better, if the mother refuses to recognize the right of the rapist to rape her.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The rockets are a response to the illegal blockade that Israel has imposed on the strip.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are not a valid response. They are not aimed at anyone responsible for enforcing the blockade. Also they are not being sent into Egypt, which is also blockading. So your explanation doesn&#039;t pass the smell test.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;They are also a response to the countless air strikes an incursions into the strip.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just so we&#039;re clear: you believe it is justified to attack anybody you feel like, as long as you have a grievance?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can any attack be unjustified, then? I can rape your mother if the cops bust me for speeding.</description>

		<description>Roy, as has been stated a million times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rockets are a response to the illegal blockade that Israel has imposed on the strip. A blockade so intense that bread was virtually absent from the strip a few days before the air strikes began. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are also a response to the countless air strikes an incursions into the strip.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;As if such desperate and primitive weaponry comes even close to inflicting one-half of one percent the devastation Palestinians suffered during Israel&#039;s foundation &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this mean, Will? What policy does it suggest?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what is the intent by those who fire rockets?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you recognize that it&#039;s a war crime? Do you recognize that it&#039;s deadly conduct? Do you recognize that it&#039;s terrorism? Or is it all cool, because you hate Israel?</description>
