“"The British and the Canadians were heroic in their own way" How nice of you and how condescending. If it hadn't have been for the British taking a stand in 1939, when we could have stayed safe on our little island, Hitler would have prevailed and continental Europe would have been part of the greater German empire.

As Gore Vidal pointed out recently, the US turned up late in the 2nd world war after most of the work had been doneand only when they could be sure that they'd be on the winning side.”

“That´s part of why I highlighted decision making and transparency as areas which need improvement. :)”

“The conditions in Gaza arent imaginary.”

“No, it's the fault of the allies and the Balfour declaration.”

“are you drunk.”

“GAZA!”

“my father in law????

I'm not from the middle east.
non of my family is from the middle east
I have several Jewish brothers-in-law”

“This is the THIRD time I'm posting a response to this HuffPost blogger's post. What? Are they exempt from criticism??

Hezbollah is a resistance group that was created entirely as a result of Israel's occupation of Lebanon. Under every bit of international law there is, an indigenous population has the right to resist an occupying force.

Get over yourself. This terrorism propaganda is losing its credibility hard and fast. Now that Hezbollah is in the Lebanese government - and please remember that even the pro-US elements of the Leb gov't reject the idea that Hezb is a terrorist group - that fairy-tale is going to unravel quickly. As you can see by the article above. Even if Clinton denies it, the writing is on the wall - every one of our European allies has reached out to Hezbollah in the past two years. Wait and watch Washington follow suit.”

“They were born out of Israel's occupation of Lebanon. Their very existence is because of Israeli aggression, which they finally repelled in 2000, and then again in 2006 when Israel killed more than 1,000 innocent civilians, dropped hundreds of thousands of cluster bombs, and destroyed civilian infrastructure throughout the country.

You are propagandizing. Sticks and stones and all that...”

“Wow. They let you become a HuffPo blogger?”

“thank you for your comment, but it contributed nothing to the conversation. You merely restated the previous statement.”

“Blame Egypt for Israels attacks?

And I suppose while we're at it, blame Iraq for 911,

and blame victims everywhere for the abuses of their attackers.”

“Messy dear the Grandchildren of original refugees are guess what? REFUGEES.”

“The Majority of the refugees are living in camps in Jordan and Lebanon.”

“Even the past president of Human Rights Watch today ( OCT 20th) in the NY TIMES condemned them for the bigotry they show against Israel!! He is the Founding Chairman Emeritus of the organzation! ..........­..........­...Funny how THAT opinion piece failed to get picked up by HP!!”

“THAT was the understatement of all time!!”

“A Semite is a person regarded as descended from Shem- a member of any of the peoples speaking a Semitic language, including the Hebrews and Arabs!

Another point missing is USA Tax payer collusion:

"Washington provided F-16 fighter planes, Apache helicopters, tactical missiles, and a wide array of munitions, including white phosphorus and DIME. The weapons required for the Israeli assault were decided upon in June 2008, and the transfer of 1,000 bunker-buster GPS-guided Small Diameter Guided Bomb Units 39 (GBU-39) were approved by Congress in September. The GBU 39 bombs were delivered to Israel in November -prior to any claims of Hamas cease fire violation!

In a 71-page report released March 25, 2009, by Human Rights Watch, Israel’s repeated firing of US-made white phosphorus shells over densely populated areas of Gaza was indiscriminate and is evidence of war crimes.

Human Rights Watch researchers found spent shells, canister liners, and dozens of burnt felt wedges containing white phosphorus on city streets, apartment roofs, residential courtyards, and at a United Nations school in Gaza immediately after hostilities ended in January.

During the 23 days of attack on Gaza, the UN Security Council, Amnesty International, International Red Cross, and global voices of protest rose up and demanded a ceasefire, but both houses of Congress overwhelmingly endorsed resolutions to support a continuation of Israel’s so called "self defense.

THE REST:

“"Bigorty pure and simple."

You are claiming Judge Goldstone is a bigot?”

“You're saying Judge Goldstone is a bigot? isnt that a little...a­nti-semiti­c?”

“You claim that Goldstone's report is "bigotry - pure and simple" - then it follows that you must think Goldstone himself is a bigot - pure and simple?

"Hamas also initially denounced it, issuing a vile anti-Semitic diatribe directed at Goldstone himself." It seems they are not alone in this: "Huffpost bloggers" are doing the same thing.

I would also ask what exactly your contribution to Huffpost is, as I read the majority of your comments are very short and imprecise , display a marked ignorance of your chosen subject matter and you write with a pseudonym.”

“And you are a HuffPo blogger with your pure anti-arab screed?”

“maybe on some occassions, not this time, UN is right on the money...by the way what is your contribution at HP being an official blogger...”
