Author Topic: Israel Pounds Palestinians in Gaza. Over 1000 estimated fatalities. (Read 26523 times)

Look, AdmiralViscen is being cute. Like Mandark said, you cleverly disengaged from the "most disgusting people on the planet" remark when backing your ridiculous assertion.

If you can't see that "why does the US associate with Israel [clearly the state in this comment]? they're [obviously referencing Israel as stated just moments ago] fucking terrorists" seems much more like a slam against a nation rather than its people - you're totally naive.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #129 on:** December 30, 2008, 09:54:04 PM »

Whether you are for or against Israel (I am not against Israel), the current situation in that region is disgusting. It's not so unbelievable that the word was mixed into that sentence.

Also in PM you didn't argue with me when I swapped "Israel" with "Palestine" and "disgusting" with "dumb". Only disgusting is a slur! Not "fucking terrorists" either lol

It's a valid interpretation that the initial post was also talking about the actions of a state, especially after Curse said as much. As long as we're splitting hairs on 'disgusting,' he coulda easily said "Israelis" or even "Jews" instead of "Israel." Israel, a nation.

Also in PM you were saying that this is about a racist statement and not a racist person. If that was the case you would have accepted Curse's explanation, but you had to keep raking him over the coals. If it was just that singular statement with no context, no explanation, no awareness of the poster then I would agree with you. But we have all those things and then I saw you still biting at Curse and I don't think it's fair to him. I think I'm already on your anti-Semite list tho

When did you ever PM me? Dude, the only person that PM'd me was Jinfash. Now you're just making up conversations!

It's not a valid interpretation that the initial post was talking about the actions of the state. You'd have to be a complete dummy to argue that. There's a huge difference between slamming a state and the people. I find the actions of Hamas totally disturbing, but I don't go, "Palestine can suck it. Most disgusting people ever..."

As far as I'm concerned, we pretty much ended that discussion with the consensus that the original comment was stupid. Your continuing need to argue otherwise is just a stupid troll or a public display of stupidity. Either way, it's stupid.

I just think a simple apology was all that was necessary.

I don't think it is entirely that disgusting. Considering the timeline of history, this is a relatively bloodless conflict. Nation building isn't a snap process either and in time, there will be a common ground. Eventually people are going to start getting tired of this, if they aren't getting to that point already. Laying all of it on the feet of Israel isn't progress by any means.

Oh that was Mandark, I thought it was you. I was reading it on my phone, relax.

Relax on the whole thing, TVC had a far more measured response to this whole thing.

btw you reopened this, I made a joke at Guybrush. You're also the one who continued to nuke the thread after TVC had already cooled things off with Curse.

yes, telling you to relax is trolling.

Next time something like this comes up, handle it like TVC. The comment was poorly phrased but it was explained and Curse isn't a dirtbag. And his comment was completely analogous to Guybrush's as far as I can see.

If anyone's an idiot it's me for making this thread go this far. AdmiralViscen is a great poster, and he doesn't deserve to be called an idiot for anything I have said.

I apologize if I have offended anyone by my statements in this thread. While I do regret that this thread ended up like this, I am glad to see that I have several friends on the 'Bore judging from the PMs I have received. It does seem that only Willco and Mandark found my post offensive despite my efforts to explain otherwise, and I will send them personal apologies via PM soon.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Dude, you didn't offend me. The only thing that was offended was my intelligence. Just call a spade a spade. As far as this dragging on, we can thank AdmiralViscen for that. And he's no more deserving of any sympathy. It's obvious that he's just trying to bait me or just incredibly dense, so I will step away so we can continue a discussion.

Shut the fuck up dude, you're out of your mind.

edit - I shouldn't sink to your level, but I'm not gonna edit that. Get fucking real. I made one comment at Guybrush and within moments you were ready with a full-scale revival of the whole fight. Your constant name-calling is fucking pathetic and is indicative of the same overreacting that I was calling out back on page 2 of this thread. And your 12-year-old-internets strategy of "No this ends NOW, thanks to ME" is a joke. Just shut the fuck up already.

CurseoftheGods · « **Reply #152 on:** December 31, 2008, 03:40:40 PM »

Well, Viscen is a good friend and he knows that I'm not a racist person. I can see him getting ticked about how thickheaded and stubborn Willco was being in this thread. He claims that he wasn't offended, but his insults towards AV definitely show otherwise (as do the number of his rudimentary posts in this thread). Me being an antisemite seems to be have set in stone for him. Even after I tried apologizing he claimed that my explanations were an insult to his intelligence as I am apparently inherently racist and that could never change. I am curious to know what he thinks of the other posts in the first page that were in the same vein as mine, but he has stated that he's not going to post in this thread again and I hope he stays true to his word.

I honestly don't care if I am labeled a racist on an obscure internet message board. I spent way too much time in this thread. I have only started posting in this thread again because I saw some posters and private messages defending me about this topic. I don't want anyone carrying my weight. Judging from the PMs I have received only Willco and Mandark seemed to have a problem, so I am not too bothered by it at all.

I was never defending that post in and of itself - no one can. It requires an explanation. What I was defending was the notion that it was OK for Curse to supply an explanation instead of just unilaterally condemning him and trying to make him look like a bigot. I got bogged down in parsing every part of the post because it was said that there was no way the original post could have meant something other than what it looked like.

Although I don't know why you of all people are asking me why I got involved in a stupid argument.

This guy is a genius.

Also I have to say there is nothing wrong with saying 'Fuck Israel'.

You know the sad thing is that Hitler has succeeded post mortem in making the 'Jewish Question' a real thing. I have studied antisemitism for quite a while, and you might even say that's my field of expertise in history. Up until the creation Israel as a state antisemitism was mostly bullshit. It was not much different then other forms of racism. But now there is this one state that is supplying legitimate ammo for Jew haters. Now some Jews will have you believe that Israel hate equals neo-antisemitism. Clearly in some cases, that is correct but most people that question the actions of the state of Israel are not antisemites, hell they condemnd the Holocaust and antisemitism too.

Fuck Hitler.

Bull-fucking-shit.

So what, Hitler created antisemitism now? "The Jewish Question" wasn't considered a real issue until Hitler? "Up until the creation Israel as a state antisemitism was mostly bullshit"?

And you consider yourself an expert in antisemitism?

PD, what "field of history" specifically? Pre-WWII antisemitism? The Holocaust? Or the modern Israel-Palestine conflict? If I can find some of my course materials, I can help you out on the former two. (but I seem to have misplaced them)

Boogie really, I bet you're a nice guy but you posting stuff like this seems stupid. You really think I don't know this stuff? You think I got my degree for free or something? I'm really happy you posted the wiki link to the history of anti semitism. But you know I learned that stuff in University from some of the leading scholars on the subject in the Netherlands. I really don't want to be a pretentious asshole about it, you're entitled to your own opinions but thinking that you can somehow undo years of education by posting some links is silly.

I didn't say the jewish question wasn't considered a real issue until Hitler, I don't see where I did. I just said that until after Hitler it wasn't a huge worldwide problem. Antisemitism wasn't big under Hitler, in fact as you probably know he didn't get elected because he hated Jews. He got elected for his social program. Germans considered the Kristalnacht un-German and the Nazi regime made sure never to do such a thing in the open again. Sure in the middle ages stuff happened like Pogroms, but that was incidental and regional at best. Also antisemitism was a fringe thing for most of history, now with Israel it's a front page issue. Israel doesn't equal Jews, but it's their state and accusations being made now aren't done by some right wing dipshits writing down theories on Jewish conspiracies, people who are mad now are ordinary folks that are tired of the bullshit going on in the Middle East. Shit that's going on since Israel has been established affects the whole world. It feeds terrorism.

Also you assuming I'm a hardcore intentionalist is wrong, where did you get that impression? I'm more of a functionalist if you feel the need to label me anything.

Oh yeah PD a good book you should read about the Holocaust is:

Ordinary Men. http://www.amazon.com/Ordinary-Men-Reserve-Battalion-Solution/dp/0060995068

or more approachable

Hitler's Willing Executioners http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0679772685/$%7B0%7D

Kosma: "I didn't say the jewish question wasn't considered a real issue until Hitler, I don't see where I did"

Sorry, but I interpreted this statement as saying just that: "You know the sad thing is that Hitler has succeeded post mortem in making the 'Jewish Question' a real thing"

My mistake.

Still, I'm not sure how you can dismiss the prevalence of antisemitism pre-WWII in comparison to antisemitism in regards to Israel today. You say today it is "front page news", but how can we gauge what exactly that means in an age of 24-hour news coverage? I would say that as far as attitudes go, antisemitism was far more prevalent throughout previous centuries than it is today. I disagree with calling antisemitism a "fringe thing throughout history".

And I don't see how antisemitism after Hitler is a "a huge worldwide problem". With minor caveats, I disagree that "Shit that's going on since Israel has been established affects the whole world." The Middle East conflict as regards Israel (and therefore, presumably, "antisemitism") is not a "huge worldwide problem." It is a regional one at best, only presenting the faintest glimmer of larger reprecussions at a few key times (ie. the 1973 war). Even today, though the Israel-Palestinian conflict does feed terrorism, it is hardly its sole cause, so I don't see how we can say that "antisemitism" is a significant factor in the current problems of international terrorism.

"When the Jews bomb us when we are asleep, [Hassanin] says 'We get scared,' " a translator says.

Hassanin is one boy from Gaza speaking frankly to an anchor on Hamas TV about the attacks, which have gone on for 10 days.

Children like him have accounted for one-third of the casualties at Gaza's main hospital, foreign doctors say. And now Hamas and their media are making them the face of the attacks.

The children have seen terrible images of tragedy: their friends injured or killed and bloodied bodies in the streets.

They are images Hassanin says he will never forget. He'll keep them stored away until he's old enough to do something about it.

"When we will grow up, we will bomb them back," a CNN translator quoted the boy saying on Hamas TV.

wat?

It's like no matter where they hide their kids they're gonna be accused of using them as shields. They took refuge in those schools to hide from the strikes, and they had some people trying to protect the place!

Where exactly do suggest them to go without any protection since the whole city is under siege?

Maybe the kids should've evacuated with the rest of the Palestinians that Israel let out before they went in? Never mind that Hamas is putting mortars and missiles right under kids beds (so to speak), but it's OK as long as they burn the Jews; right?

The Hebrew word for violence used there is חמס (chamac). The English pronunciation for that word is khä·mäse', which is "Hamas".

Syria will launch a chemical attack against Israel and those IAF planes on 24/7 alert in Northern Israel will level Damascus to the ground. Iran, Syria, and the rest of the Arab nations around Israel will launch a war against them with the help of Russia, and then ARMAGEDDON.
