Comment on I hate what America has become–from best of Craigslist by Anonymous

This is a wonderful piece that is destined to become a classic, as it chronicles in truth what America is, for those who care to know, for those who are not yet brainwashed by right wing propaganda on cable TV, for those who are not yet brainwashed by a phony evangelical Christianity in collaboration with political interests deliberately manipulating a desperate, ignorant public. God bless America.

SEC fine = 2 wks of profit at Goldman. Slap on the wrist or an incentive to misbehave?

Comment on July 3rd in Indianapolis! by thegitmos

Well, not sure what this has to do with the show we’re having this Saturday, but…….

This is not a “Left/Right” issue. The matter here is that Israel attacked a ship in international waters. The matter is that Israel is an Apartheid State that even South Africa has called out as such. The matter is that Hamas is an organization that Israel funded to oppose Arafat and is the elected government in Gaza. The matter is that Israel’s blockade of Gaza is one of the most vicious forms of collective punishment ever inflicted on a people. The matter is that Hamas had a cease-fire agreement that was broken by Israel in 2009. When the Gazans retaliated (weakly), the Israelis launched Operation Cast Lead –killing thousands of Gazans and decimating their farmlands. Then they started the cruel blockade which has been condemned by every nation in the world except the US. And the matter is we Americans send Israel billions every year while we are already drowning in debt.

BTW–Gazans and Hamas do not practice Sharia law.

We may never know exactly how the flotilla attack went down. I just know you can’t trust the Israelis to be honest about it. –not after they rejected the Goldstone Report.

If we don’t stop letting Israel lead our foreign policy we will find ourselves in more and more wars. ….No thanks.

The floatilla was not attacked. It was boarded for a search, because of a blockaid. It was the people on board the floatilla that attacked the Isreali Military. How about doing a seminar on how the Hamas propaganda affects the world view of Isreal defending itself. Isreal is constantly bombed by Hamas and Palastine, the news never reports that; but when she defends herself it is all over the news. No one wants to talk about human rights violations from Hamas, or any other radical muslem group. Do you really think sharia law is the better choice? Or are you just looking on the surface of the issue. Even on the surface of this issue, it is obvious that the people on the boat were the aggressors, and that the Military personel had every right to defend themselves. From where I sit it is the Left that is spewing all the propaganda, and viewing everything emotionally instead of useing common sense. there people out there who want all Jews, and Americans dead and will stop at nothing to achieve that goal, even strap bombs to themselves and their children.

“but this was not “in a time of war””

Israel has a military blockade around Gaza, and Gaza has launched thousands of Rockets at Israel while claiming Israel has taken their land. How would you define war?

“not delivering supplies to Al Queda.”
No, they were delivering them to Hamas. The governments of the European Union, Israel, Japan, Canada, and the United States classify Hamas as a terrorist organization.

“These were people on a mission of peace and charity.”
I watched the video. The soldier landed on the ship and they threw him over the deck and beat the next few with crude bats and knives. They did this after trying to run through a military blockade.

America once set up a blockade of Japan during WWII. Suppose some “peace activists” tried to run past American Navy ships to deliver supplies to the Japanese, you think American navy ships would have let them through? Suppose American soldiers boarded those ships and the “peace activists” attacks the US soldiers with knives and bats, think the US soldiers would have not fired back? Looking at militants with knives and bats trying to supply Hamas “peace activists” is an insult to real peace activists.

Hmmmm…..OK, but this was not “in a time of war” and these people were not delivering supplies to Al Queda. These were people on a mission of peace and charity.

If any soldier of any army anywhere in the world was boarding a ship in a time of war was attacked with bats and knives and grenades, any soldier would have replied back with gunfire.

If that ship were headed for Al Queda to give them supplies, and I was hit with a baseball bat, I sure as hell would have shot back too.
