"Yes, incredible restraint for not killing a prisoner apparently worth 1000 Palestinian prisoners. Those humanitarians."
Are you suggesting that it requires equal effort and risk for Hamas to hold onto Shalit as it does for Israel to imprison a Palestinian? Every Hamas gunslinger who worked a shift guarding Shalit was putting their life in danger - a rescue by Israeli commandos was something that was openly discussed, I believe. Not to mention the possibility that Israel might threaten the families of Shalit's guards if their identities became known.
"Please and be sure to explain why they are much better than your Iranian buddies quotes. Oh I forgot, Muslim racism doesn't count, just like muslim violence doesn't count, or muslim hypocrisy doesn;t count. Criticism for that stuff is saved for the Jews. Oh I know you aren't an Anti-Semite, your an anti-zionist... right."
Now who's painting with a broad brush.
"I criticize Israel constantly, but..."
So it's okay for you to criticize Israel, but any goy who does so is an anti-Semite. Do I have that right?
"why are their israeli arab citizens?"
Because Labor wanted to hold on to the Knesset and wasn't too concerned about maintaining the highest standards of the Zionist ideal at the time.
"Are you trying to say they killed nobody, they're just doing it, ya know, for fun?"
No, they've obviously killed people. Little innocent babies, too. The difference between us is that you believe Israel occupies a position of moral superiority because its killers have uniforms and drop their bombs from expensive jet aircraft and helicopters, while the Palestinians do not have snazzy uniforms and have to use live human bodies for their ordinance delivery system.
"Zionism (def.), a political movement for the establishment and support of a national homeland for Jews in Palestine, now concerned chiefly with the development of the modern state of Israel.
Where do you see murderous dreams?"
How about the words of Israel's founding fathers:
“We must expel Arabs and take their places." - David ben Gurion
"Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment... Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly." - Theodore Herzl

" Where are the denunciations of holding a kid for 5 years with no visits from the red cross no contacts with family or diplomatic go between in return for 1000 including murderers."
This is not a 20th century conventional war between two equally matched nation states. Israel surveils every inch of Gaza. A visit from the red cross would more likely than not tip off the IDF to his location and result in an attempt to rescue him, which likely would've resulted in MORE deaths. Or the humanitarian visit itself could be used as a ruse for a rescue operation. Israel obviously had some proof he was still alive or there wouldn't have been a deal. And he wasn't a 'kid' - he was a grown man who is trained to kill people for a living, and wearing the uniform of a military that shows little hesitation in doing precisely that.
"How about blowing up civilian buses during rush hour with suicide bombers to derail the peace process? Does that qualify?"
Okay. So how do you feel about shelling refugee camps, declaring an immediate curfew on a Palestinian village and then gunning down dozens of Palestinians as they return from the fields for breaking said curfew, shooting down a civilian airliner, ordering Lebanese militias to massacre thousands of unarmed refugees, or any of hundreds of other Israeli attacks on civilians. Are these acts of terrorism, or just a long and constant stream of 'tragic accidents'?
"On a lighter side, is it just me or does Khaled Meshaal look like George Clooney."
OMG! The studios could hire this guy for pennies on the dollar and none would be the wiser. Would probably have to dub the voice, though.
Was John Pemberton a seer?
