What is "israel"? Somebody please....?

[Beanz]

@TitoFan I read the article you linked to and was expecting an unbiased, neutral and balanced discussion of the subject and was disappointed but not surprised to find an article full of inaccuracies and blatant dogerel and propaganda. Ignoring the fact that the presentation style was somewhat akin to a children's Encyclopedia you would still have to be a very ignorant and unread individual to fall for such nonsense and have your own agenda which is more about discrediting another poster than sharing facts.

@Greenbeanz I'm disappointed. It took you almost 24 hours to come running to Lyle's aid. But I knew you'd pop in sooner or later. Tell us, in your infinite wisdom... exactly WHAT are the inaccuracies you found in the article? And please be specific. It's quite easy to throw around accusations, as you're prone to do..... but it's another thing altogether to back them up with cold, hard facts. Exactly WHAT are the inaccuracies, Greenbeanz? And tell us.... what would you say is the agenda of a U.S.-born journalist, with no known Arab ties or interests.... and what would be her objective in putting out such "propaganda", as you so "wisely" put it, when these types of views obviously place her (and her other nonpartisan supporters) in a non-popular stance with the general U.S. population? You're good at throwing around accusations. Give me FACTS. Also... I want to know where you GET your facts. Spend much time in the Middle East, have you?

Bottom line here: You're so intent on kissing up, that you blatantly ignore the one-sided hatred toward Arabs that comes out of Lyle's mouth. I push an agenda of tolerance and understanding. Neither you, nor Lyle, nor I are qualified to judge an entire race of people solely based upon what we read in the newspapers. Oh, but THOSE are gospel, right Greenbeanz? Who's being the naive fool now, gramps?

Do me a favor. If you're going to persist in your blatant ass-kissing, you gotta come at me with a better job than that.

I noted your first contribution in the 59th post in this thread as well as your now familiar habit of presumptive posting in which you play the part of enlightened information gatherer amongst a sea of ignorant bigots. Whilst castigating Lyle for not reading your linked article I once again note your magical ability to display breathtaking intolerance and arrogance in assuming that any opinion you may not share is arrived at through belligerence and stupidity. The article you posted is written by Alison Weir an Extreme Anti-Israel activist responsible for this charming article

Israeli Organ Harvesting � Counterpunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names

in which she asserts that Israel conducts organ harvesting from Palestinian prisoners. A creepy manifestation of medieval anti-Semitic fears like the idea of the blood libel, the charge that Jews ritually murdered gentiles and used their blood to cast spells, which was a mainstay of medieval European anti-Semitism. In Europe, the blood libel led to pogroms, mass slayings and expulsions. Never mind the fact that the source of her information was a discredited Swedish tabloid article.

The website itself set up and populated by Ms Weirs rhetoric is clearly informed by her own rampant aganda in which Israel is defined as a despotic tyrant and no rational argument supporting an opposing view takes place. Like yourself, Miles, Noam Chomsky, The Guardian and large parts of the so called liberal left it is a very self hating piece of outrage politics dependent on portraying things in a simplistic black and white manner in which there is only one right party and plenty of wronged innocents, for which it is easy to attract sympathy. Like Noam Ms Wier and the "If Americans Knew" website is a Jewish Concern established no doubt to assuage the guilt complex over an Ever expanding and aggressive Israeli policy. She quotes and adds credence to conspiracy theorists to back up her wild claims

"Dr. A. Clare Brandabur, an American professor, writes that information in the Swedish article resonated with reports she heard during the first intifada."

Brandabur who believes that 9/11 was a home grown government staged attack.

That enough FACTS for you? although you claim bizarrely that you "push an agenda of tolerance and understanding" you then accuse me of judging an entire race of people on what I read in the Newspapers? I have not once done that in this thread and have merely pointed to the hypocrisy of those blaming one side and ignoring the other.
