Why no visit to Gilad...... Simple....... there is no Gilad anymore!

I answered the 1st half, the part about the Aboriginals was irrelevant to my post and to the topic. The last time i checked, everyone in Australia is given a fair trial with legal representation before a conviction is passed based on evidence. If you are interested in the topic relating to Aboriginals in Australia, do some research and let me know. I'm not your P.A. I am not responsible for the actions of the British in Australia, nor for their actions in signing the Belfour declaration and i disagree with both. I am simply posting an opinion backed by data which opposes most of the ones on this site. I do not get paid, I speak because I can. So call me Anti-Semetic if you must, but please note that i have not made any reference to "Jews" in any of my posts in this thread. So if by anti-semetic you mean posting the number of prisoners or making references to their ages then yes, i was guilty of that, but it hardly seems anti-semetic, they're just facts - you should disprove me rather than call me names, it would strengthen your argument and give you some credibility.

WHOA, Lara, the Palestinian children were "Destroyed" before they were jailed in Israeli prisons. What kind of "child" straps a suicide belt to his body in order to kill as many innocent Jews as he can ? What kind of "child" throws boulders & large rocks at IDF soldiers? What kind of "child" throws rocks at passing Israeli cars killing babies & young children &^pregnant women?? A healthy child ? NO, only mentally destroyed child would do all the above. Now be a good girl & show me proof that a 14 year Palestinian "child" is tried as an adult. Thats a load of hogwash. You may not be an anti-semite but you are sure as hell anti-Israel.

Good post Brian, but do you honestly think that if Salma were to "tell Hamas to sit down & negotiate peace" they would listen to her? The Palestinians are pawns in the hands of Hamas.

Wrong Maureen. Hamas dont have the b*lls to murder Shalit. If they did all hell would break loose & they know it. Shalit is the best bargaining tool Hamas has against Israel.

Because it is not fashionable to be called or thought of as an anti-semite in today's "non-rascist" world, the modern day anti-semites has found a different way of venting their hatred of Jews - through the "acceptable" bashing of Israel. Every Israel-basher IS an anti-semite. It is a known fact to all of us Jews. We are not dummies despite our politicians lack of intelligence. Me? I wouldn't arrest ANY rock-thrower, I would have our army and police shoot them dead. But BEFORE you attempt to clean up my house - go clean your own house!!! You are no different than any other "closet" anti-semite!!!!

In my opinion, the term "anti-semite" is thrown around so much and to so many non-jews for every opinon which opposes your zionist ideals that it is fast losing its meaning. An anti-semite by definition is: "One who discriminates against or who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews" I have not discriminated, been hostile or prejudice. All i have done is support and present arguments which oppose your personal views. I can understand your desire to have a state governed by a Jew, but I do not respect the desire to limit the state to being Jewish. By calling it a Jewish state, the land of the jews and claiming that it is rightfully yours you are descriminating against people of other religions who have lived there for generations and in effect implying that they have no right to live within its boarders simply because they are not Jews. It just seems a little primitive to me.

"I wouldn't arrest ANY rock-thrower, I would have our army and police shoot them dead" Please petition to your government. They can start here... unless you would like to swollow your words? "Some 150 haredim hurled stones and glass bottles at officers in the city's Shivtey Yisrael street Saturday evening." http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3904008,00.html "BEFORE you attempt to clean up my house - go clean your own house!!! " Your "house" is my "house". The difference is, my family was forced out in 1948, when yours arrived.
