    Hello everyone, Re: Navel or belly button
    I know your not falling for that none sense that was excremated by Navel. In short here's what I mean: What does anything he has to say, have to do with the price of tea in China. Even if what he says about Iran and Syria regarding women and homosexuals is correct[which it absolutely isn't] that has nothing to do with Israeli soldiers, settlers and politicians torturing Palestinians, bombing their homes with aircraft missles while they are huddled in fear inside and more. If we tried to follow or unravel Navel's logic then just because he thinks, let's say, middle east women are oppressed, what the heck does that have to to with Israel shooting little children at point balnk range in the skull.

    Regarding homosexuals, Navel seems to be projecting and advocationdg for his own orientation. Little does he know that in some Orthodox Jewish law, homosexuals are to be stoned to death. Why doesn't he mention that? Navel knows nothing about the Quran, and little about the Christian bible and the Tanakh, talmud etc.

    His arguement reminds me of the pre-adolescent chorus or "oh ya you did this and you did that" as a smoke screen to not answering the question. Creeps like Navel just want to make poor excuses for poor Israeli behavior, period. If his arguement was a filed tax return, he would be audited for fraud.

      I was responding to ReeRee, I never said that it had anything to do with palestinians. If my arguments on anything I have said here are so full of it why do you not refute them? Because you can't.

      But I give up. Keep supporting Hamas in their efforts, I mean I know it hasn't worked or helped anything yet, but someday....someday it might have some kinda effect. I mean look what it has accomplished so far.

    I can't believe that in 2008, there is still an ongoing debate about wine and families and kingdoms. Let's move on, people, and deal with today's reality. There are 1.5 million Palestinians who deserve a place to thrive, and a handful of them are ruining their chances by blowing up innocent people. Israelis deserve the same - a place to live and prosper in peace where they do no have bombs lobbed at them, and where they occupy no one else. You can argue the history all you like, but all it does is blind you the present-day realities.

    Oh and Syrian law allows for the raping or the killing of women if you are family and do not like the person they choose to date or marry, or precive sexual misconduct. And this law exsists in one form or another in most Arab societies.

    So really ReerRee defend that. Tell me how killing or raping your daughter or sister or other realative because you do not like their choice of a husband or boyfriend or because of precieved sexual misconduct. Explain to me how that constitutes any form of civility, let alone justifiable at all.

  • Posted By: rp1588 @ 02/04/2008 11:10:22 AM

    "Law of unintended consequences"? That assumes the Israelis don't know what they are doing. They are very experienced and do know what they are doing. Provoking Palestinian retaliation is a deliberate part of their long term effort to steal Palestinian land.

  • Posted By: ReeRee84 @ 02/04/2008 8:57:50 AM

    Naver, are you suggesting that Muslims kill victims of rape and homosexuals? What planet are you living on? For someone who claims to have travelled all over the Middle East, you sure as hell don't seem to have a clue about it!!! Is offence the best defense you have?

    As you're so good at looking up "facts", check the crime rate of the whole of Syria in comparison to the US state of Colorado alone. We'll see who really violates human rights.
    Kitai...
    The dictionary definition of the word religion -
    A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

    And these biblical stories are just that, a belief. Moreover, archaelogical findings are often subjective as to whether the inscriptions are chinese whispers or real life.

      Iran has a history of executing homosexuals, and I belive the Saudi king just had to "pardon" a rape victim to keep her from getting whipped. Ya know whipped like people use to do to animals to get them moving or keep them together in a herd. I also forgot to mention stonings for various infractions.

      I mean come on the rape thing made international news as well as the homosexual executions in Iran. So how am I making things up? Perhaps it is you that need to check what planet your living on.

      As their penal system is based on punishment not rehabilitation, and that about half of their prison population is being held for "crimes" not even listed in their penal code, I am not suprised.

      Lets see, currently over 4000 political detainees that the world knows of.
      Over 17,000 political detainees have been "disappeared" in the last 35 years.
      Most confessions to "crimes" are obtained by torture (they themselves have admitted this).
      And havent they been mucking around in another country for a long time carrying out assasinations that everyone knows they are behind.

      Ya, your right they are a jem of civilization.

    Dear Ree-Ree and Jafra,

    Keep up the good work. One must seak the truth whenever you can. The good thing about advocating for Middle East understanding is that the Arabs have the legitmacy on their side. They have articles of Geneva convention, UN resolutions, the Hague treaty, human rights orgs. etc. The problem is that Israel has a deceitful propaganda machine as well as pea brains who write the way some here havbe.History will show where you stood on the issues and it will also show where they stood on the issues.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 8:07:40 PM

      The Palestinians never signed the geneva conventions, and Arab countries are some of the worst human rights violators, so whats your point? Oh wait you are tying to insinuate that Israel is worse and Places the kill victems of rape, or homosexuals, or anyone that they feel like are good honest people.

      And I almost fell for it............

  • Posted By: gjhdad @ 02/02/2008 11:36:04 PM


    ewpfaffly, [?]
    Israel uses human shileds, even children, as it enters these childrens villages and shoot up the place. Israel bombed civilians in Lebanon while the lebanese killed mostly attacking soldiers. Little Israeli girls and boys were seen kissing and writing love phrases on huge missles just before they were launced onto Lebanese civilians. What a culture you defend and belong to. Israel lied and stated the Lebanese were hiding behind civilians yet all human rights org.'s found no evidence of this but plenty on Israel. With these little girls kissing missles while a warped Israeli adult sways back and forth praying, this proves that it is Israel that launches attacks from civilian area's . Even the Israeli Wingard report, that Amnestsy international found to be a complete fraud and cover up for Israel ,admitted that the Lebanese did not fight from civilian areas. Yet Israel and ethnically bankrupt cowards like you want it both ways. You want to murder and torture
    Palestinians while proclaiming your innocence in a now well recognized ploy. What about the dozen Israeli soldiers who were charged with "repeatedly raping" an 11 year old girl for several months. Israel has better
    weapons, period. With no anti-aircraft weapons the Wingard report itself stated that a small, semi military
    group of a few thousand defeated Israel, the strongest army in the middle east.

    Then after blackmailing billions of $ from the US, Israel spies on the US more aggresively than our enemies do.
    Creeps like you need to stop mixing up biblical Israel with modern day Israeli soldiers, politicians and settlers who shoot and torture unarmed civilians to death and then use propaganda that the Palestinians try to make weapons to defend themselves. There is no comparison between the philosophy of the beloved Jesus Christ and the sadistic Israeli soldiers, settlrs and politicians who hide behind, and ,committ crimes with, U.S. money.
    The fact is that Israel shows little bravery on the battle field, as many films prove. It is only their better weapons and their willingness to use them on civilians that deludes you into thinking Israel is righteous.

    Again there is absolutely no comparison to the beloved Jesus Christ to the sadistic, cowardly Israeli soldiers, politicians and settlers. Most of the present Israeli cabinet is full of sex offenders, money launderers and vacuums for US aid.
    Creeps like you want to supress info like the Israeli psychologists report where she found dozens of Israeli soldiers violently abusing unarmed, innocent Palestinian men women and children. The Israelis lived in Palestine less than any other group. The Israeli's came then, as they did now, as raiders, perverts and idol worshippers.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 7:49:12 PM

      Once again more lies. Yes Israel spies on the U.S., and everyone else. So does Briton, the U.S., Germany, Frances, and every other country that can. Everyone is spying on everyone. So once again you are distorting the truth.

      And they do not Blackmail the U.S. to get that money. They give it happily to them. Glad that they do not have to directly deal with those type of lunatics.

      But you keep spouting lies and nonsense. Its working so far. Look how many countries are running to their aid. Hell, even the other Arab countries want to wash their hands of it.

  • Posted By: gjhdad @ 02/02/2008 2:19:19 PM

    Dear Jafra, It appears obvious that shoe and some of the others do not feel obligated by the truth, or they simply do not know the truth and they actually believe the nonsense they are spewing. Creeps like these would walk over a starving child's body [and have] and would not think twice. Their venom is surpassed only by their cowardice.
    Any objective historian knows that Israel was created by violence and broken treaties and the admitted intention of expelling Palestinians. You see, creeps like these want Israel to be as oppressive as possible, while their public relations campaign paints them as cherubs. This is what they want.

    Judaism is the most contemporary religion, "here and now", then any other in the world. Their is little if any talk of an afterlife at all. Some creeps interpret this to mean that you can do anything you want to be successful here and now such as stealing land and shooting children. In Christianity and Islam the afterlife/heaven is a major theme that we must earn and prepare for. Judaism is concerned with here and now and thus some creeps interpret this to mean do everything and anything to be succesful in this life, including stealing real estate, shooting civilians etc.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 7:44:31 PM

      Truth?? you keep talking about the truth but back it up with no provable fact. However all your contentions have been disproven with provable fact. So quit with your "its the truth, those are western and Israeli lies" nonsense.

      And you are making up stuff about Judaism. And seeing how many different versions and belief structures there are of those three religions well its just silly.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/02/2008 11:00:21 AM

    shoe,
    do you also laugh when the tv shows images of jews in concentration camps? do you think that those jews needed brains too? perhaps you also laughed at South Africans who fought against apartheid! did you also think that those people needed brains too?

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 7:40:40 PM

      The Israelis are not Holding the Palestinas there waiting to have room in death camps. So your comparision is invalid.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/02/2008 10:47:25 AM

    naver,
    The Arab countries contribute money all the time and not just through unrwa. many hospitals, schools and housing projects in Palestine are named after Arab leaders who funded these projects. any money that comes from the west is not aid and it's compensation for dumbing the jews on us. we solved europe's jewish problem and europe still has to pay more for its sin against the Palestinians and the Arabs.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 7:38:40 PM

      Prove it. The US did not dump the Jews on you. They were already there. There history in that region goes as far back as recorded history. Deal with it.

  • Posted By: gjhdad @ 02/01/2008 10:05:18 PM

    To: Everyone
    Re: Naver and the like
    Naver has written offensive yet petty blather. Don't waste any more time with his delusions and ficticiousness.

    He doesn't know that the name Palestine is the English word for Philistines who, along with the Caananites pre-date the Hebrews in Palestine and lived continous since then. He doesn't know that the Romans expelled the Jews of Palestine, nearly to the last man 2,000 years ago while the Palstinians remained. He doesn't know that the Palestinians remained on there own land even if the name of the conquerer changed names. Again, the jews of Palestine were expelled in mass, to nearly the last man 2000 years ago. Before that they were expelled from Palestine to Babylon in just one of the many biblical wrath thrust upon the people for their continued treachery and sins.

    There are many other conscientious, intellegent Jews who can make and do want peace so lets stop lowering our standards to the European/ Russian Khazari Naver who looks about as much as an indigineous Palestinian/ Jew as any bleached white, red haired freckled fool like he does. Naver should go have coffee with a shrink who will put psychoactive drugs in his coffee.

    Naver is what he is and that's all that he is[popeye]. Don't lower yourself and try to match wits with this nincompoop who out of cowardice the actual question and information posed to him. There are many educated conscientious Jews to work with. There's no hope for Naver. Let him go in peace, or pieces and enjoy his sexual orientation.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 7:28:44 PM

      So if all tthe Jews were expelled(this is a funny lie but anyway) how did they "thrive" under arab rule, as one of your partner in lies claims.

      You guys need to get your bs straight. And for the record the only song I like from Popeye is that "It's not easy being me"

      And I really doubt the Palestinians are the direct decendants of the Cannaties. They were more likely the ancesstors of the Jewish people seeing ass ther language is classified as a Semitic language. The Greek, Latin, and Hebrew Arimaic have a word that identifies the Cannanites, while Arabic has a word meaning that general area. Oh and the fact that it has way more in common with Hebrew than Arabic.

      Once again thanks for helping my argument. The things I forget, then you guys bring up to try to lie about really helps prove my point.

    • Posted By: Naver @ 02/03/2008 7:14:32 PM

      So now the Palestinias are the direct decendants of the Canaanites? And no, the Romans had alot of troubles with Jewish people. They never expelled them, and you just proved your full of it.

      You said there were always Jews living there, but the thrived under Arabs, and that it was not until the other Jews came back that there was a problem. So if the Romans expelled all the Jews how did some excell under the Arabs when according to you they were not there??

      Hard to keep your lies straight huh.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/03/2008 7:28:21 PM

    kitai,
    you are victim of what those so-called scholars fell for: illusions of grandeur. so what if they found wine pitchers? is that a proof that a kingdom existed there? ordinary people always had wine pitchers in their homes, does this mean that every home in the past was a kingdom? what if solomon had horses stalls? wealthy people can have horses and can have stalls for them. that is not a proof that he had a kingdom. what was there was little towns under Canaanite rule and not more than that. there is no real evidence to prove most of what the bible said. even the noah flood was copied from the ancient Iraqi civilization and specifically stolen from Gilgamesh. the song of songs was stolen from the Canaanites and it's a poem written by Ishtar to her lover. those who wrote the bible exaggerated the myths and legends to glorify a history that did not really exist. any so-called scholar that sets out through his religious beliefs can never have an objective outcome. that's what most of those priests did when they initially went to Palestine to look up the history of jesus. they discarded anything that refutes their claims and exaggerated anything that proves the myths of the bible. what happened afterwards was that most of the researchers built on the false "research" of those priests without any attempt to question it.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/03/2008 4:26:42 PM

    kitai, damn! all this talk about a glorious kingdom and you come up with a small writing that could be interpreted in many different ways? In the past, people were referred to as members of the house of this or the house of that. This old expression is still used in that region as in the case of Saudi Arabia. Al Saud means the house of Saud. There are so many families in the Arab world that still use that form. So, what you present is nothing but a mere reference to some David's family and nothing else.

    • Posted By: kitai @ 02/03/2008 4:54:44 PM

      The fact that an Israeli empire existed is irrefutable. Read The Bible as History and so many other reputable, scholarly Bible archaeology books. The American excavation of Gideon, described in the Bible as "a great city..;one of the royal cities," (Josh. 10:2) has shown that it had a thriving wine trade, with numerous wine pitchers found with Hebrew characters naming towns, such as Jericho, Succoth, Ziph. Also proof of iron and copper trade has been shown. King Solomon's (David's son) famed royal horse stalls and chariots have been unearthed in Tell-el-Hesi, Taanach, Megiddo, and Jerusalem. These are just a very few indicators that Israel was an empire. Major details can be found in innumerable archealogical books. Do some research, yourself!!!

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/03/2008 2:55:44 PM

    kitai, can you present me with any specific detail about this king David and any proof of his existence as a king with a big kingdom? Before you bother to do that, go read this book: The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Text. The book was written by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman. Finkelstein is the chairman of archaeology department at the tel aviv university. Here's a quote from the book: "the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land [of Canaan] in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the twelve tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is the fact that the united kingdom of David and Solomon, described in the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom."

    • Posted By: kitai @ 02/03/2008 3:42:19 PM

      William Dever, in his What Did the Biblical Writers Know and When Did They Know It?,holds that the archaeological and anthropological evidence supports the broad biblical account of a Judean state in the 10th century BCE. An inscription found at Tel Dan and dated c.850-835 BCE has been interpreted as containing the phrase 'House of David', in which case it might refer to the royal house of Judah; the Mesha Stele from Moab, and from a similar time, may contain the same phrase; and Kenneth Kitchen has proposed that an inscription of c. 945 BCE by the Egyptian pharoah Shoshenq I mentions "the highlands of David," but this has been questioned.[24] "If the reading of ???????????? [House of David] on the Tel Dan stele is correct, ... then we have solid evidence that a 9th-century Aramean king considered the founder of the Judean dynasty to be somebody named ??????" (David).

  • Posted By: kindablue72@hotmail.com @ 02/03/2008 4:03:35 AM

    The Palestinians have only been in the Holy Land for a generation or two? What a crock! Their Caananite ancestors were there the first time the Jews arrived, as told in the Bible, and they were there still there thousands of years later when European Khazars, passing themselves off as the scions of Biblical Jews, came to Palestine in the 19th and 20th centuries laying claim to what wasn't theirs in the first place. The whole argument that ANY people can have a valid claim to a land based on occupation by their ancestors of thousands of years ago is preposterous anyway, and were it valid then the Greeks could march right into Istanbul; or the Irish, Scottish, and Welsh into London (just to name a couple of examples) and "reclaim" it as their own.

    • Posted By: kitai @ 02/03/2008 3:25:54 PM

      The Caananites were not the ancestors of the current-day Palestinian Arabs. The Arabs only conquered the region in 700 A.D. Also the Philistines, from which the term Palestine comes, were the descendants of the Purasati people, who were not Arabs, either. The Arabs trace their origin from Abraham, father of the Jews and the Arabs. The Palestinian Arabs have their origin from Ishmael., son of Abraham by Hagar.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/03/2008 3:06:35 PM

    kitai, google "king David was nebbish" and you'll get the full story from salon.com, but I doubt you will because it's scary to realize that everything that you believed to be a fact will turn out to be nothing but a mere myth. it will be an earth shaking experience for you, so perhaps you need to be ready for a headache that might last for a long time.

  • Posted By: Jafra @ 02/03/2008 3:41:41 AM

    ew,
    i didn't finish reading all of your comment, i lost interest when you mentioned the bible. you seem to think that the bible is a historical document, which is not true. it's merely some legends that were made up by old fools and nothing else. Jericho never had walls to tumble down and David was not a king of anything. Most of the bible's stories have no proof on the ground and thus, they never took place. but my dear, what kind of a person believes the bible that was changed a gazillion times? if you believe the bible is true, can you please tell me what the song of songs is about? fornication? read israel fincklestein's findings on salon.com about the lies of the bible and don't waste your time and cyberspace on silly arguments. this is my last response to your zionist tired rhetoric that only delusional people like you believe in.

    Gjhdad, Thank you, my friend

    • Posted By: kitai @ 02/03/2008 2:40:46 PM

      Kind David IS a historical figure: check your most recent arhaelogy books (mentioned in the writings of other nations of the period). The Bible has been proven, over and over again to be QUITE historical and ACCURATE to the most incredible details!!! Try reading up on your archealogy and be truly amazed!!

  • Posted By: gjhdad @ 02/03/2008 10:51:36 AM

    Review the literature of Norman Finkelstein, Israel Shahak[now deceased] and of course the victims themselves, the Palestinians, and you will get a good education on what is going on.

  • Posted By: ReeRee84 @ 02/03/2008 4:34:37 AM

    What a load of drivel, Naver!!! Go to Times Square where you'll see Orthodox Jews protesting against Israel's invasion of Palestine. I don't think the argument can get any clearer than that. Zionism and Israel is just a narcissistic and selfish progression from true Judaism.
