Amen!  I've been wondering what Leauki sees in Hillary.  She is NO fan of Israel which puzzles me that Leauki would be defending her so. 

There's not one thing I can think of that I like about Hillary.  Even Obama, to me, seems like he might be a nice guy to hang out with.  I can't say that about her. 

It seems to me that your comments disappear far more often than those of the average user.

No offense intended, but it really seems silly to me when you to post about how your comments were deleted.  If people don't want to listen, that's their prerogative, but that doesn't necessarily mean you are/were right.

The fact that you use this argument to act like you logically trumped someone (and always conveniently elsewhere) is very manipulative.  Are you trying to gain popular support for your position by looking like the poor, suppressed speaker of the truth?  If Leauki really did delete your posts, doesn't he already know it?  What reason would you have to tell him something he already knows?

The only thing I can think of is that you want to appear like you were right - but really it just comes off more like pride.

I don't remember which thesis that was but go ahead and post it here plus your response. I won't delete it. If it was the thing about the Assyrian Church (my "thesis" which I put up merely as an example, I do not really believe it), I would like to see the answer.

I still remember a certain character who was badmouthing Islam here on JU one or two years ago. Inevitably after some discussion the entire blog entry plus all discussions would be deleted.

But in this case here I assume your posts fell victim to the database issue at JU (as have some of mine, possibly my reply to your comments as well) or were deleted because you went too far off-topic.

But speaking of the US government being for or against Israel... we have all heard that the "international community" demands from Israel not to build houses in annexed or occupied territory (despite the fact that the Oslo Treaty allows such construction).

But what are the demands for the PLO? Is there anything the PLO have to do and have they done it?

Apparently not breaking the previous treaty is not a demand the "international community" has made because otherwise the second Intifadah would be a problem for the negotiations, no?

No, you don't.

Thanks for speaking up!

I think that people who grew up being told to read the Quran should have a more positive opinion about Israel (5:20, 17:101-104) and Jews (2:62) and be more cautious about Arab claims of superiority over other peoples (9:97).

But anyone who rejects those teachings even though told about their importance, what am I supposed to think of such a person? He'd be a traitor to G-d and his own religion.

With Hillary I think it is stupdity and necessity that make her make such demands. But an _imam_ should know better.

Heck, if all negotiations started with a reading of the parts of the Quran that cover the subject, we wouldn't have a conflict.

(Not that I agree with the Quran's summary of these things. I just think it would be a good starting point.)

You know, with supporters like you, Hillary does not need  many detractors.

no I actually thought you were quite discerning and deserve a cookie for what you said.  You just had no idea.  I'm the Protestant she's talking about.  I deleted her on my site regarding Garage Sales.  And you are EXACTLY right in what you said.  If she wants to proselytize her RCC on her site.  Fine.  That's what she should do. 

I have warned her on numerous blogs of mine to stop proselytizing her RCC on my site but she won't listen to me.    I've let her (more times than I can count) go way off topic on my blogs before I get to the point where I do this. 

now what Leauki?  What do you think of the latest news? 

That depends: Are you using the term 'Jews' in the ( A ) ethnic/citizenry (i.e. Jew == Israeli citizen) sense or the ( B ) religious sense? If ( A ) then 2 elsif ( B ) then 1. I believe Israel should have the right to set their own rights and rules for their citizens vs. non-citizens just as every other nation does.

OK, I hear you.

However, the latest battle is over Jerusalem. The political machine of Isreal has erected an 8 meter concrete wall through parts of Jerusalem which completely encloses the the last passage of the Scriptural pathway of Our Lord Jesus Christ on His way to the Cross? Pilgrims are blocked from going through the gates. The Vatican, clergy and laity inspected the deplorable conditions in the Holy Land, and found the attitude of the Isreali military and bureacracy from uncooperative to hostile. The Vatican charged that Isreal violated the 1993 agreement between Rome and Isreal guaranteeing the West Bank land owned by the Church...so far it's fallen on deaf ears.

Why? It's not about Isreal's right to exist...That is a ruse.....it's about Imperialism.

But seriously, how is building a few houses "imperialism"?

I find it particularly interesting because looking at a map of the Middle-East I see that the Arabs rule over many many territories and peoples, the Jews being the only ones who resisted their attacks. And by "resisted" I mean they avoided a genocide like in Sudan and gas attacks like in Kurdistan.

And you see imperialism where?

Is it also "imperialism" when Arab countries build houses in their cities or is that one of those Jewish things?

Anyway, let's hear it for the smallest empire of all time! The Vast Empire of Isra (there is not enough room on the map for the "el"), may it last forever, as G-d promised.

(In case you are honestly worried about imperialism in the Middle-East, there are thousands of African refugees in Israel who can tell you stories that go beyond even the horrors of family homes and children with kippas.)

Incidentally, there is no wall going through Jerusalem and the wall AROUND Jerusalem has not been finished either. I guess your clerics must have been in another city. That can happen. Or they make up complaints about the Jews as they go along. That can happen too.
