Call yourself enlightened? Thank you that is the best laugh I have had for some time.I would chose the Fascist ,fanatical religious right rather than you Cowardly perverted Leftist dreamers any day.At least the settlers know who they are...JEWS and at least they believe in something.What do you believe in? Gay Parades?

34. Leftist need those ghosts again

Dear leftists, without a new ideology and without the application of your old socialist ideology, you know that you will be lost at the elections. So, what do you do? You bring back your ghosts through the media: "Danger, danger, the Rightists will kill us". Stop playing the underdogs and show us how you can resurrect a socialist party.
35. You know, there *is* a middle ground
Amy ,   off rt 40   (11.05.08)
between "settlers are fascists" and "leftists are fascists." Maybe that middle ground includes reality ... that the settlers have to stop their violence and provocative outpost expansion ... and that the Palestinians also have to stop their violence and provocative incitement, et al. I mean, the settler ideal should be about living safely in the land. Claiming that the Palestinian bad behavior gives them the right to it as well, well, that's just bad behavior. And attacking people picking olives and the like isn't in any imaginable way self-defense. Not to mention cemetery vandalism. But at the same time, it's hard to escape the vicious anti-settler attitude among a lot of people here. Vicious, to an almost absurd degree. Anyone speaking that way about Palestinians or anyone else in the world would rightly be termed either racist or a hate-monger. So why is this viciousness acceptable against settlers/Jews? Keep in mind that the fast majority of settlers are not doing this, are just trying to live their lives. Just like the vast majority of Palestinians are not blowing themselves up on buses. Right?

You are a post-Zionist. You therefore do not believe that the Jewish people have a right to a homeland, but rather that Judaism is a religion that can be practiced anywhere in the world. Be honest to your beliefs and leave, go back to wherever you came from and leave the land to the people who have a right to live here.

I was born here , my parents and grand-parents were born here . I'm not going anywhere . We did not build this country for religious nutcases to destroy it .

According to Arafat, if your grandparents lived here before 1912 you may stay, otherwise go away. If you are a post-Zionist, how can you support the existence of Israel?
