Quote "In an emotional session, China, Russia, India, Brazil and South Africa voted in favour of Palestinian membership, while the US, Canada and Germany voted against and the UK abstained."
I have a solution to all faith related problems...... We build massive temples globally with a multi faith theme... Fri Muslims Sat Jews Sun Christians Mon to Thu a rota system for minor faiths....
A point I made in the agnostics thread was that faith should never be allowed to enter the political arena. Thats as true for the arab states as it is for the setting up of the Israeli nation for biblical reasons * However to withdraw funding from an international cultural body after a democratic vote on the ratification of membership of a people is scandalous * Disclaimer - i am aware that this is an overly simplified way of explaining the setting up of the state of Israel but it is a large factor in it
One line that is as succulent as any three paragraph opinion. On the OP, do we expect any different? Why would the Yanks etc vote to curtail their eyes and ears in the Middle East?
Two false statements in the oped, has to be from a troll. What is this trolls opinion, does he believe "zionists" control the US (this is often the old tired argument of the anti-semite who really wants to say the joos control the US.
Arabs/Muslims in only care about "human rights" when it comes to Israel and not any of their own countries shocker "Countries" is showing up twice for some reason even though I only put it once
Zionism isnt a religion, its a political ideal advocating self determination of the "people of Israel" and their "right" to retrun to Zion (the land of Israel). Christians who support the state of Israel are termed Christian Zionists etc.. so you immediately have shown you are miserably informed when it comes to this debate and have simply tried, and failed like other misinformed people, discredit me by means of accusations of anti-semitism which are completely unfounded. Zionist interests are very prevalent in Washington through lobbying and campaign funding. Listen to what Ariel Sharon boasted to Shimon Perez on Oct 02, 2001 after Perez had cautioned Sharon not to upset the Americans "Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
The only reason anyone "cares about" the Palestinians is Israel. Otherwise they'd be like the Darfurians, or Kurds, or Armenians, or Tibetans, or any other genuinely oppressed minority no one gives a **** about
Fisrt of all, the statement from sharon is a "myth", please find one respectable source tor this quote, i.e. new site which could be sued if it is wrong. Secondly I never accused anyone of ant-semitism, but I said that statements like the zionists control the US are often expressed by anti-semites. Thirdly lots of groups lobby in washington, its what happens, probably the biggest lobby in washington is by cubans who want to stop the US trading with Cuba. As you have quoted a false statement I think you will find it is you not me that is uninformed, now theres a suprise.
What do you mean find a source. It was reported by IAP news after he said it on Radio Israel, it wasnt a secret comment he made. A few more quotes perhaps needed? "The Israelis control the policy in the congress and the senate." Senator Fullbright, Chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee: 10/07/1973 on CBS' "Face the Nation". "I am aware how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign policy [in the Middle East] not approved by the Jews..... terrific control the Jews have over the news media and the barrage the Jews have built up on congressmen .... I am very much concerned over the fact that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and making it almost impossible to get congress to do anything they don't approve of. The Israeli embassy is practically dictating to the congress through influential Jewish people in the country" Sec. of State John Foster Dulles quoted on p.99 of Fallen Pillars by Donald Neff
"The Israelis control the policy in the congress and the senate." Senator Fullbright, Chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee: 10/07/1973 on CBS' "Face the Nation". Very topical
