It is possible that when Jews were strangers in a strange land they never raped anyone's daughters or sisters.Maybe they saved that for when they were able have their own land, especially if they could achieve prominent political office.

Since I am a republican anti-imperialist we can leave aside your comments on the monarchy and empire. But 'diseased and depraved Africans' - a wonderful turn of phrase. Similar language was used of poor Jewish migrants from Eastern Europe and elsewhere - and indeed of migrants everywhere (legal, illegal, refugees, asylum seekers....etc.). Some might say that what the users of such terminology have in common is a diseased and depraved mentality. I couldn't possibly comment.
33. How should we deflect blame for this?
ZionistBecky ,   Israel   (06.04.12)
Firstly, claim "it is not our problem." If that doesn't work, attack the poster in question with any crime that the person's nation has committed in the past 100 years. For example, if a British person dares to say anything bad about Israel, bring up atrocities the British have done in the past (ie: "oh? You think we don't treat infiltrators in a fair manner? Well look at what you did a hundred years ago to those in India!) I know this is a ridiculous way to argue something, but the name of the game here is DEFLECTION and the goal of the game is to DEFEND ISRAEL AT ALL COSTS! And, lastly, if none of the above works, then point out that the UN should be dealing with refugees. Even though every Western nation on the planet takes in refugees, and primary reponsibility for refugees lies with the nation to which the refugees have fled, we should still bring up the UN. Of course, when we're not begging the UN to help us, we should talk about how the UN should be disbanded. Hypocrisy? Sure, but again, the name of the game here is "deflection" and being logically consistent shouldn't be a concern of ours. For good examples of how to use the above deflections, check out any post by Sarah B
34. @?Robert What an interesting Australian Aboriginal name!
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (06.04.12)
No wonder real Aborigines are up in arms about the rorting going on with the use of "Aboriginal" status!
35. Becky We should not deflect blame at the perpetrators now
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (06.04.12)
please be good enough to tell us who they are and your evidence for your claim. Or are you ready to lunch first and ask questions later? How does that make you any different ? Oh of course you forgot to mention that this has been widely condemned. BTW "intellectuals " using Israel as their self righteous moral spittoon do need to look in the mirror.Do you have a problem with that or do you think it is open season on Israel, whenever the holier than thou brigade feels like it , evidence be damned ?If we were perfect like the beloved proletariat of the intelligencia we would not be criticised at all.Why the total moral blindness when it suits their agenda?
36. #28 - Have you heard of Jewish Indians?

37. To: No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
No, I do believe that is a specialty of the royal family. Your thinly-veiled jibe at Katsav is uncalled for -- most people in Israel (myself included) think the charges were ridiculous.
38. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
The difference being that people with AIDs, or sexually transmitted diseases, or tuberculosis, or diphtheria, or Hepatitis C and heaven knows WHAT else are diseased, are they not? And if they steal, panhandle, threaten, drink themselves into oblivion and then fall asleep in local parks and playgrounds, and rape young women -- well, that's pretty depraved, isn't it? Poor Jewish migrants from Eastern Europe and elsewhere never did any of that. At a minimim, there was a pretty rigorous screening for diseases at Ellis Island and, I am sure, in other countries as well. So what are you babbling about, Bertie?
39. To: No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.04.12)
Well, since the very first members of my family to set foot in the United States did not do so until well after the end of the Second World War, whatever my status in the United States does not include a history of land theft from the indigenous population.
40. Bravo to #33!!!
Matt ,   Wisconsin, USA   (06.04.12)
41. #39 When you arrived in the US is irrelevant...
Robert ,   Australia   (06.05.12)
...The fact is that you and your family indirectly enjoy the spoils of historical land theft from the indigenous population.
42. #39 To me, your status in the US is irrelevant...
Robert ,   Australia   (06.05.12)
....however, you do benefit indirectly from the original land theft from the indigenous population merely by residing there.
43. To: No. 40
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.05.12)
Yesss! When are you planning to send your daughters to Israel to be raped by AIDs infected African illegal immigrants? Hmm? Today? Tomorrow? BRAVO to you for sacrificing you children. BRAVO, indeed! Wow! You must REALLY hate your daughters ....

45. #28 Parick - SWISS DID IT
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.05.12)
American's did it so did Cubans, take your hank of hemp and hang first, because they were the first to do it Until you hang your sorry lot, your argument has disinegrated You must have a lovely home in Switzerland, how many of them have you invited to stay there ? Swiss BTW, denied Jews entry, forcing them to return to Germany & the Extermination camps Check with your bankers, some of the loot the Swiss swiped from the Jews is still being hidden in their vaults
46. #42 Robert, so do your white Aussies
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.05.12)
set an example, kick them out, show us in a gentle & kind way how to evict Illegal Occupatns
47. Sarah..#40
Matt ,   Wisconsin, USA   (06.05.12)
so any and every African migrant has AIDS and is diseased? Funny how you don't address the poster at #33 but only continue your same lame attacks which she clearly calls you out on. Don't be mad at me because #33 exposed you for what you really are and deflated every you use in your hate/anger filled posts. I hope your HATRED keeps you warm at night and gives you comfort in times of need. ;)
48. Did anyone stop to consider
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.06.12)
since the Arson wasn't witnessed that anyone could have done it, Arab, Jew or Hottentot
