Not me!

Men of conscience refuse to work for these murderers. No man of honor would kidnap children to use as human shields, as the IDF does all the time.

Since you obviously don't know what the word means, here's the definition: Conscience - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do you understand the term Conscription?

This is ridiculous!! Why all the videos? Do you not understand that each one of these videos is biased? You can bend the light which ever way you want to, but whenever you stop playing games with it the light will still be light.
 
Of course it's wrong..

At least Israeli soldier's get punished by their own government when they use human shields. Does the Hamas?

As I said, in your other poll, Onion Eater. Disingenous, skewed, misrepresenting, with the sole intention of vilifying Israel. Little or no substance.

Why are you worried then if you are sure that Israel is Innocent ?

I'm not worried. I just don't like watching people misrepresent and be disingenuous. And I will call them on it when I see it...as I did with him.

Lot of things many members dont like in most of posts, do this mean to hardly-offend the other part ?

Why do you consider every anti-israeli post is ridiculous, must your opinion the one who only exist ?

Are you purposefully trying to blur the line between anti-israeli and just plain bitching?

Being anti-anything is fine, but if you're going to twist and smear the facts to make it look like something it is not then people are going to call you on it.

Like this thread for example.

If the truth comes across rude and insulting then what can anyone say?

If you were to call me an asshole I may find it rude and insulting, but I would understand :lol:

I wouldn't even find being called an asshole rude and insulting. But I think I might find being called "rude and insulting" to be rude and insulting.

Would you then find being called an asshole, asshole'ish? Asshole'esque even?

Nah, just an accurate description of me. I am an asshole. :mrgreen:



I'm also rude and insulting, so I guess I wouldn't even find that to be rude and insulting.

I think I might find someone calling me a scruffy-looking Nerfherder to be rude and insulting, because as Han Solo said, "Who's scruffy lookin'?"

Am not talking about this post only, Vader is always closed minded towards the anti-Israeli opinions.

Excuse me, "IDF punishment", never heard of it.

Perhaps that is because Vader, like quite a few others on this board, hold a different opinion than you?

I suppose you could throw me in with the "closed minded towards the anti-israeli opinions" seeing how I have yet to see anything more than pitiful blame games being played.

Israel is handling the soldiers that are misusing their power. That is enough for me.



Undercover offending :shock:

There's nothing "undercover" about it. The hypocrisy in your accusations dismiss your position.

Did you watch the videos in the OP? At the end of the first one it's noted that the Israeli army suspended the commander.

You can dig for more "punishment" but I honestly doubt anything you see will please you.

No I don't. I don't believe we should be giving money to Israel at all. But when people try and say that Israel is wrong for defending themselves I am compelled to correct it.

How was that rude and Onions comment about Tash not having a conscious because she was conscripted to fight for her country not?
I don't think he will be offended by someone telling him that he's biased.
 
This thread is over.
I think it should be closed.

I imagine it does happen. Much happens in war that is unsavory.

But you probably know as much. Been there done that. Right?

Your true underlying intent here is to take isolated incidents and portray these as standard practice and official policy. The same deal as those here who take isolated incidents of US misbehavior in Iraq and paint every Marine as a rapist or murderer.

You do know what a sweeping generalization is. Right?

Sleazy poll ya got goin here Eater.

You got a lot of nerve saying it was these were isolated incidents coming from a nation that is currently in violation of 63 UN resolutions, has illegally maintained a blockade of goods and services from going into Gaza for the last 18 months, which is a war crime, held on to land they seized in a war in violation of international law for the last 42 years and has basically took a **** on the very organization that gave them their nationhood. They constantly target civilians, they refused letting in doctors to Gaza, they've destroyed civilian infrastructure while they irresponsibly blamed Hamas and you say these were isolated events!

Excuse me, I have to throw up!

But I'm not surprised coming from you. You're one of the ones that inferred I was talking about all troops being murderer's, when I spoke about a few isolated incidents.

Funny how that door doesn't swing boths ways, doesn't it?
