I can not believe you have the gall to question why this was moved off ATSNN and why the title was changed. The answers, to any person with a
logically functional mind appear to be as follows.
1) The title was changed to reflect fact. The fact is that there is an organized criminal element in Israel that is operating a "sex slave ring".
No one has ever disputed that fact. Since that is the topic for discussion, objections to the title should be considered moot.
2) The thread was moved off of ATSNN simply because it is not "News" in any sense. This is news like creating a thread stating "Organized Crime in
America forces stores to pay 'protection money'". You don't say! It is a long time, ongoing, sad fact. Not news.
As stated in numerous threads above, there are rotten apples in every barrel. No one, at any point, has disputed the existence of this problem in
Israel. Additionally, not one of you has been able to dispute the fact that the very same type of "sex rings" exist in almost every other
country in the world as well, including dozens who receive aid from the US. Why you haven't cried out for their aid to stop is beyond me.
You haven't though, and that speaks volumes.
A positive, factual analysis of this tragic situation, in Israel and the world over, and the steps being taken to stop it, is fine. No one would have
objected to that. But to consider this worthy of ATSNN because a handful of members are digging for ammo against Israel is a good way to throw this
site into the proverbial toilet in terms of credibility.
This entire thread has been soiled by numerous anti-semitic remarks. I am not saying the thread is antisemitic, so save your breath. What I
am saying is that there is no excuse for comments like "Maybe the talmud lets them do this" or "Our Israeli Masters" or references to those
"Diamond cutting" Jews. Is this the level of conversation here? You can't phrase an argument without resorting to comments like that? To those
members making the comments, do you have jobs? Do your jobs ever require you to phrase a solid argument without resorting to racist digs? I assume
you all to be educated, well adjusted and civilized people! Why not function civilized here rather than resort to garbage.
In my mind, and in the mind of anyone else with any intelligence, once a person resorts to racist or anti semitic insults to further a point, they are
demonstrating that they have nothing else to say.
Twitchy, you say that you contribute on this board in threads unrelated to Israel quite often. I agree completely. What I don't understand
is why you phrase your comments in the Israel threads with such foul feelings toward Jews in general. I don't see you doing this with your other
topics. Your swipes at the Talmud etc are so uncalled for that it insults the forum in general. It is completely unbecoming for someone like you who
does contribute elsewhere, quite well I might add.
The other comments were made by people I don't expect much from, or simply don't know, but yours disturb me. It's a shame that every time someone
mentions Israel, right or wrong, the points, valid as they may be, are detracted from due to stupid comments created by hatred and
ignorance.
