The child soldiers who died in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising had no choice but to fight because the other option was certain death. Perhaps the battle would have gone somewhat differently had the Polish resistance been willing to work alongside the Jews, but they didn't want to help the Jewish people, so I guess we'll never know. The sacrifice of the Iranian children is not necessarily hateful toward Jews, but it says a great deal about the mindset of Iran's leadership. With the passage of time, the mullahs and ayatollahs have only gotten more radical and fundamentalist. When they announce their intention to destroy the State of Israel, there is no reason to doubt them. Of course it will never happen, but that is no reason to doubt their resolve. The children who fought against the Nazis in Warsaw did so voluntarily and for a good reason. That is very different from strapping dynamite to a little boy and throwing him under the treads of a tank.

My goodness, the Persian kitty cat demonstrates such remarkable eloquence and articulate command of the English language, doesn't she? That guttersnipe is the Iranian equivalent of trailer park trash.

The theory of evolution teaches that all of humanity are descended from apes. Or do people deny evolution?

Is depicting a Jew as an ape non-problematic to you?

Some in Iran think the story of Esther was the story of Jewish genocide of Persians. What do you think?

Yuk, you cant get any lower, can you? What a low-life you are.

I see the situation but don't see the problem.

That's what I said to your girlfriend Edithann in post 13. Any insult from you or EA is a compliment.
39. Humans ARE apes

The real problem is that no "daughters of apes" are mentioned. What a shame!

I don't believe in evolution but in the case of Edithann and Persian Cat it does make one wonder.

Well, I suppose the Persian Kitty does the best she can. She and Edithann are both handicapped. If any trailer park trash read your post they will probably feel insulted. It's a good day when we both can get under that cats skin on one thread.

No doubt she has many good words for you, some of which may be printable. While you may find children cast under tanks as heroic I find it's a product of a culture of hate that is willing to sacrifice it's children simply out of spite for others. Normal people don't give their children plastic keys to paradise and then send them to their deaths.

First of all, I do not use the word "hate" more than absolutely anyone. You should read some of the material posted by supporters of the ersatz "Palestinians." That said, hatred -- when appropriately expressed -- is a very cleansing emotion. Do you mean to suggest that were I to say that I hate the Nazi Germans who were responsible for the destruction of so much of my family, I am engaging in destructive behavior? Were I to say that I hate the terrorists who fire missiles into Israel and threaten the lives of Jews, is that destructive behavior? If both those hatreds have filled me with a steely resolve that the State of Israel must be protected at all costs, that's seeing things with such perfect clarity that your soul is uplifted. But you wouldn't understand. You are much too busy hating Jews and hating the State of Israel to see beyond your narrow little world.

45. LOL! these son of apes
Mara ,   Vienna   (06.10.12)
have won 22% of all Nobel Prizes so far, being only 0,2% of the World population. Israel alone has been awarded 10 of it. How much has Iran got? Who are really the apes?

"Is depicting a Jew as an ape non-problematic to you?" It both is and is not. We are all apes after all. But I m sure the Iranians did not mean it in the evolutionary sense. I also recall a comic book by an American-Jewish author in which Jews were depicted as mice, Germans as cats, and Poles as pigs. Go figure.

Poland gave Jews safety for a few centuries until 1800s when a violent antisemitism kicked in. In 14 th century it was the only European nation that welcomed Jews. In 18th, 19th and 20 th centuries Pols became violent toward Jews. So lets thank them for the past hospitality.
