'We all know what sexual liberation did to the USA in the 1960s -- now, imagine a Summer of Love in Teheran!

Throw in a bit of weed, and we'll have regional peace in half an hour.'

Really didn't know you could be so funny! Your last sentence contains alot of truth.

Tell you what, I propose a truce. No criticism of Israel from my side for at least 24 hours.”

“Bermanator

'People having sex with other people who they atren't married to?
CONSENSUALLY? How terrifying!'

Never thought I would find myself laughing so hard at one of your posts. My sides are aching!

I agree. It is terrifying, almost as terrifying as a nuclear armed Iran.
Just joking.

An excerpt from one of the interviews which is over the top. How would
this couple be receive in present day Iran?

"They may look like any other married couple, but they are far from it! Kamala lets her husband Michael sleep with as many women as he likes.

"This is my man and I love him. I love him so much, I want to share him," she tells INSIDE EDITION.

In turn, Kamala sleeps with as many men as she wants to. She says, "Because I have multiple lovers, I have more love and energy to share with Michael."

Kamala openly has other men over to the couple's home in San Diego, California. During INSIDE EDITION's interview with the couple, Kamala even kisses her newest lover Steven, before snuggling up to her husband.

Kamala's husband is so comfortable with his wife's lovers, he even lets them baby-sit the couple's 15-month-old son."”

“bermanator,

I know what you mean and agree this one is not about cultural misunderstandings. I was referring more to the point of these stories about what is "right" in our "western value system". IMO there is often an evalutation of our way being superior. America tends to project its self image on the rest of the world and I think this is wrong.”

“Bermanator

I know what you are going to say about the crazy people in California...
Check the video interviews out of this polyamorous couple with child.

The good ol USA & Israel are looking very tolerant compared to living in a country under Sharia law.”

“Bermanator

Agreed 100%. If there were ever a case for separation of church & state it's Iran.”

“So do you accept state-sanctioned terrorism (which yes, I would include Iran in, as well as some other non-Muslim countries) in your quotient?”

“What is so "ignorant" about such a simple question?

The vast majority of modern, organized terrorism has been Muslim. Deal with it.

Or don't deal with it -- deny it -- and in the end it will be your loss, not ours.”

“Yeah I know, they are pretty bad too. Was that your point - or did you get caught in your own ignorance again?”

“Of course, you go straight for the Nazi references in criticizing Israel.

Please do try to keep the self-righteous indignation to a minimum.”

“"More than you know"

What a pathetic answer to a simple question.

Is it even a tenth of the number killed by Muslim terrorists?”

“More than you know.

I do consider what your stormtroopers did to innocent people in Lebanon t.errorism. So does the entire world, except I.srael and the US, the greatest sponsors of t.errorism on earth.”

“Ray, if you truly wish for dialogue, you need to begin taking Jewish sensitivities into account. When I call you out for being anti-semitic, it isn't because I'm trying to "stifle the debate" or "deflect criticism", it's because your comments really are offensive to me and the vast majority of my peers.

I suggest you read this article on Zionism and anti-Semitism and at least attempt to reframe your arguments in a manner where Zionists can respond to them without going on the defensive.

Your criticism and suggestions are welcome, but your posts so far contain one major theme: Israel is always wrong.”

“Bermanator

In all earnestness thank you. I wish for a meeting ground where we can dialogue in a constructive fashion about issues in the Middle East (without offending each other.)

In total agreement about not wanting a pre-emptive strike
on Iran.”

“No, but a real Jew would extend at least a modicum of respect and concern for the well-being of his fellow Jews in Israel, rather than consistently demonizing them as murderers and fascists, delegitimizing our history, and entirely ignoring the Israeli narrative.

CG has no "good will" or "assistance" to offer. A real Jew would.

Get it?”

“Bermanator: There is no "we" here? Do you have a personal beef with Cigar God? Or are you so convinced of Jewish exceptionalism you believe you & Israel can go forward without the assistance or goodwill others? If that's the case, can you please call off AIPAC.

One need not be Jewish or Muslim to shed real tears for the lives lost in this miserable conflict. Or to mourn the deaths of fellow humans. This conflict will not end until Israelis, Palestinians and their assorted supporters recognize the humanity of all parties involved.”

“You probably meant to say I'm a self-hating atheist Jew and certainly not a Zionist.

I suppose you think a real Jew would be like you in every way.”

“Is this a joke I dont get it. You want to tatoo a star of David on prisoners?

Whats even more disturbing is not a single pro-Israel poster has challenged you about it. Odd that.”

“Bingo is right! I'm glad we're in agreement.”

“Bingo!”

“Not under the Hamas party banner, no.”

“If the didn't want to get "detained" they should have never run for office.”

“I'll make you guys a deal: I'll come and throw stones at your heads, and you won't press charges because throwing stones is no big thing. Sound like a plan?”

“SB,
You deserve the cigar of your choice.”

“Ok.
Ill it answer for you seeing as you insist avoiding the question. Throwing stones at tanks isnt attempted murder.

In 2008 the most common charge faced by Palestinian children detained by Israeli forces in Occupied Palestinian Territory was for throwing stones. In 26.7% of cases handled by DCI-Palestine during the year, the charge was stone throwing.
[NOT ATTEMPTED MURDER]

It is not uncommon during the arrest process for Israeli soldiers to strike Palestinian children with their weapons whilst laughing and humiliating them.
When clashes occur near the Wall between stone throwing Palestinian children and Israeli soldiers, the soldiers tend to respond by arresting any child in the vicinity, regardless of whether that child was actually involved in any unrest or not.

The threshold of evidence required before an Israeli soldier arrests a child on suspicion of throwing stones is so low in some cases as to suggest the existence of a policy of collective punishment, rather than any serious attempt to identify those actually involved in any unrest.

All forms of collective punishment are prohibited by the Fourth Geneva Convention.
In what is usually a terrifying experience, many Palestinian children are arrested by Israeli forces from their beds in the early hours before dawn by heavily armed soldiers.

These children are rarely told why they are being arrested, where they are being taken, and in some cases are not even permitted to say goodbye to their parents

“Most of his scalp?

What kind of auto-scalping stone would that have been?

I've also been thrown at and hit. Sure some rocks could put an eye out, break teeth, etc. But you are way over-exaggerating.

Now, if you want to talk about a "stonning", that is different.”

“Not Israeli tanks. Israeli civilians. Can you understand that distinction? I like how you quickly dismissed Bermanator's tragic example, clearly you keep your sympathetic outrage only for the Palestinians.”

“Yeah so anyway. On what fantasy planet is throwing stones at Israeli tanks attempted murder?”

“Are you kidding me?

A friend's brother had most of his scalp ripped off down at the Western Wall after being hit by a Palestinian-thrown rock. His crime? Praying.

Is that okay with you?”

“How big a stone would that require?
How big a "child" would that require?

Aren't you embarrassed to go out on a limb like that in your birthday suit?”

“Ever had a kid throw a rock at your head, Marcus? I know a young woman who was hit in the head with a rock thrown by an 8-year-old. She almost got a concussions.

That was one rock. From one kid. Now imagine what a whole mob could do.”

“If it were Palestinians being hit by rocks, you would be screaming "genocide".”

“The horror!”

“The same one where those stones crush skulls and break ribs.”

“Sentient, throwing stones at Israeli *soldiers* is attempted murder. Have you ever been hit in the head by a rock? It can indeed kill.

Unless you are going to make the claim that every one of the arrested children was only throwing rocks at "tanks." I know the skill anti-Israel propagandists have for obfuscation, but I don't think even you can go that far.”
