31. Spying trial
Chuck ,   USA   (12.28.10)
Did any of you attend? How do you know he was innocent? Just because he was spying for Israel doesnt make him innocent. Spies should face the death penalty when caught.

Don't judge all americans by one. Just because someone puts "USA" at the end of a disgusting talkback does not make s/he-t an American. A large part of the American population fully supports Israel. Do you not have any stupid idiots in Israel? If I judged from the talkbacks as you have I would think all Israeli's are ignorant. By judging America by one persons remarks, you are doing the same thing you accused that person of. For the record, who ever Hmm is, one thing I know. They are not American. Maybe they reside here and maybe not. Anyone can hit 3 keys on a keyboard.

Unfortunately, you are largely correct about religion. Where you make your mistake is equating God to Religion. He also hates religion. You deny His existence. But, He does not deny yours. One day you will meet face to face. You will be very surprised, but He will not! Perhaps you should seek to know the Creator and leave religion out of it. Then you will learn how to Approach your King! To not know is to lose your place in the Kingdom! You may wish to think about these thinks before you answer me in your typical prideful fashion to try and save face.
34. Zionist cruelty
Raphael ,   Netanya   (12.28.10)
Azmi Bishara, after handing military information to Hezbollah during the 2006 Lebanon war for NIS300,000, is still receiving his MK pension.
35. To: No. 31

Would that include the Walker Family, Aldrich Ames and Robert Hansen? "How do you know he was innocent?" How do you know he wasn't? And you should be ashamed for even thinking that way -- in the U.S., there is a presumption of innocence, with guilt to be proven. Since the Islamic Republic has executed nearly 130,000 people since 1979, I'm not prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt. Keep in mind that you are talking about a legal system -- Sharia -- under which homosexuality and adultery are capital crimes. It is also a legal system where the defendant is not necessarily permitted to testify in his own behalf or to confront witnesses against him (or her), which is a benchmark principle in American jurisprudence. Lately, the Iranian courts have gone back to chopping off the right hand of thieves. Cruel and unusual doesn't BEGIN to describe Sharia law. It isn't particularly just, either. Iran continues to execute juveniles, too. Nothing in their legal system lends itself to accepting the verdicts of Iranian courts as being derived through a thoughtful and deliberate process. I don't think they are particularly concerned about guilt or innocence, either.
36. # 33 David "prideful"
Sagi   (12.28.10)
The meaning of this word is showing arrogance and superiority and disdain for other views. On the first count I regard myself as being humble. On the second count I most certainly regard myself as being equal to all others, even the role of "primus inter pares" is difficult for me to act out as is sometimes required of me. On the third count I openly admit to guilt. I have not only disdain but rather I have utter contempt for religion and all those who practice it and for their misuse of it and for all their machinations. I believe that I have a right to state my case and my views without being called prideful and I shall continue to do so at every opportunity. I suggest to you that a little reading of what took place in England during the two hundred years or so after the Reformation and immediately following the reigns of Henry VIII and his illustrious daughter Liz I. Read in detail about the human carnage that was lived out by both sides. Hanging is a picnic compared to what they did in the name of "God" and religion. You might even change your tune.
37. #36 Sagi,
David ,   America   (12.28.10)
I will repeat myself. You are correct about religion. I agree with you 100%, However, religion has nothing to do with our Creator. Religion misuses Him and His Name for their own selfish purposes. I see your pride in the fact that you a mere mortal deny His Existence without which you would not be breathing. Turn your anger totally toward religion and leave my ABBA out of it and we will be in agreement.
38. #6 - Idiot by choice?
Hinda ,   SF Bay area   (12.29.10)
What is obvious is you never knew what a hug was from a loving parent. Most likely with the name "Ali" the victim was not Jewish. If "Ali" was with the Mossad, we do not know but then "hmmm aka idiot" you probably think that the shark that attacked the tourist in Egypt was also from Israel. (Dumb de dumb dumb)

Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.29.10)
God rest his soul, you should say. You are so naive. If he was a spy then he have saved a lot of lives. Something you should have not been given. ... Mr or Ms Hmm! What a name is too hard for you to pick?
40. #18 What country are you referring to?
Moragh   (08.06.12)
if you mean Britain then I really do go along with you, BUT OTHERWISE?????
41. I'm fed up reading about
Moragh   (08.06.12)
those animalistic Iranians, and I cannot understand why there is nobody with the guts to put a final end to their sorry-state of mind.

no, no! Saddam Hussein's hanging was too quick and painless. Achmaddy needs to be castrated without a pain-killer! and forced to walk around losing blood until he had no more. He'd very quickly drop in a heap!
