What's the difference between conquered and stole, except one uses
violence and the other uses craft? You're saying it's okay if one
uses violence to acquire something? It looks like the only thing
people understand is, I took it, it's mine, get over it. Carol,
you're making the perfect argument for a WWIII. And the Jews weren't
forced out of Palestine. They lived there just fine until they
wanted it for themselves. And because the Jews were forced out of
every country, that's the precedent for forcing the Palestinians out
of theirs? Where's the high moral ground? If the Jews have a right
to defend themselves, why don't the Arabs?
All this proves is that Israel has no moral grounding for its
existence. I hope you think WWIII is worth fighting over Israel's
right to exist instead of coexist, which no doubt you do.
A few months ago, Phil Enns wisely said, 'Do not feed the troll.' It's clear
that Irene's responses are meant only to arouse emotions, to anger and to
frustrate those who take her questions as anything more than rhetorical
devices
into replying to her as if she were engaging in serious dialogue and were
amenable to rational discourse. Nothing, folks, will ever count as an
answer to
her, nothing will count as evidence. She loves this stuff. She'll never
change.
She has no serious interest in these questions. Her interest lies in provoking
others.
