I have time but no money. Do you have any practicle suggestions?
I think spreading the news does involve some action on my part.
Although I acknowledge that you might think otherwise.
Thanks for your help.

Circle, please leave God out of this discussion. It is wholly irrelevant when spoken of as if God 100% exists. This isn't proven and thus can't be admitted as a fact or component of a fact in this or any other debate.
Thanks you.

Israel justifiers and collaborators cherry pick details -
FACT - Israeli officials have many times expressed views that they want to wipe out - i.e. kill - all Palestinians - amounting to genocidal intent. These are well documented and have been quoted here already.
FACT - Israel has been reprimanded by the UN in official resolutions for illegal activity and illegal occupation of land that they have no right nor claim to.
So why is it, that with all of these things well documented (you can google multiple examples of the above in seconds - I just have to check my facts) - why is it that Israel actively deny them and hide behind claims of self defence?
Can someone answer this?
At least Hammas don't hide behind lies - they say what they mean even if the international community doesn't like it.
Israel's leaders are liars and charlatans - I think the first step in finding any kind of resolution in the region is for them to be honest about what they want and their intent.
But they know full well if they do say such things - they will be rapidly condemned and abandoned by the international community - and being the weak, insignificant nation they are, they most probably would be swallowed up by the surrounding nations who would find what they are trying to do abhorrent.
See, Israel can not exist without US sponsorship - it wouldn't last a month - and if they tell the truth about their genocidal intent - the US would abandon them.
Does anyone want to argue with me on these two points?
A) Israel has been condemned on multiple occasions by the UN as acting illegally and occupying land illegally.
B) Israeli officials have expressed both on and off the official record that they wish to exterminate the Palestinian population on what they see as 'Israeli land granted by god'
Oh and one more for the hell of it...
C) That the UN and international community have condemned Israel for routinely practising torture and detaining civilians without trial indefinitely (long before we heard of Guantanamo Bay).
At least two of the above constitute well documented proof that Israel has committed war crimes against the Palestinian people.
So what exactly is your justification for this? I can't wait to hear.
And please - keep God out of your argument - it really holds no water.
If you believe in a God that performs miracles why not ask for this?

OK fair enough - I just think it's a pretty moot point - half the people here don't believe, including myself - so a statement like that is either condescending in intent (if you don't believe) or 'out there and reliant on the existence of a god' (if you do). Either way I don't think it ads much to the argument for justification of either sides actions.
Just my two cents, I'm not having a go -
Anyway back on topic.

Justiy yourself before God and see how far you get. No man can say he loves God while he hates another man. That would make him a liar, and God isn't too fond of liars.
You're arguing fairy tales. I don't do fairy tales. I listed specific concerns and data.
"God" is not data. God is a subjective belief and concept. I do not believe in your concept of "God". God is not proven, and if there was one, I'm sure the moment "it" was proven, it would lose all of it's "Godhood".
Concepts, ideas, ideologies, thoughts, forms, are not facts.
This "God" stuff is irrelevant to the discussion.
Did I give you the impression that I care about what you think of my beliefs? I could care less about your thoughts on religion or God. You can justify and embrace the hatred that darkens your soul any way that you want if that is what appeases you.
Why should anyone have to justify all those things to you. You are the one with the hate problem. Justify your hate!
Go ask the person that started the thread if he thinks God is irrelevant to the discussion.

I find it quite unfair that you qualify people who don't agree with the politics of Israel as "antisemites". I for one don't have the slightest trace of antisemitism in me.
You, on the other hand, seem to hate arabians.
Arabians = Semites. Which makes you, OP, more of an antisemite than many of us who oppose the genocide against Palestinian people.
Just sayin'.

Israel is not committing genocide at all. They are trying to live in peace. The question is what do you want the Israels to do nothing when rockets are launched at their people.
Israel is not leaving. The moslems have to realize this. Every time they bomb Israel of course Israel is going to attack,wouldn't anyone and yes children on both sides are dead because the moslem people don't want peace they continue to attack innocent people.
