What’s up with the modern Nation of Israel?

by DATA-DOG in

being raised a dub i never voted.

i’m not a republican or a democrat, not a liberal or a conservative.. i’m pretty middle of the road.

i want everyone to have a fair shake if possible in this life, but i definitely don’t believe in forced equality, that’s just not possible.

However there are a lot if excuses for anti Semitic behavior

This statement is true but on the flip side people are often very quick to label anyone who has any issue with Israeli policy as anti-semetic.

I encourage people who have this grand view of the country to visit. I spent a decent period of time thier in the mid 2000's for work along with a few colleagues.

Ultimately, it was not a very nice place to be for me and another colleague and the others were the ones who noticed. We went to a number of historic items and ultimately some of it was nice, while other areas were not what I expected.

It was similar to going to Greece except the people were far less social and unwelcoming. Which is weird from a group of people whose existence was full of discrimination and oppression.

A nation under the control of religious zealots who believe they are god's chosen people, surrounded by multiple nations whose religion believes that they are god's chosen people can only result in war that will never cease.

Once society can move past these idiot labels such as chosen / favored people will you see any real peace in that region. Which means good luck ever seeing any real peace in the "Middle East"

Hillary is telling all Americans to NOT CONCEDE IF TRUMP WINS----FIGHT! What will you do if you are put in a corner.

by pistolpete in

hillary clinton is telling all democratic supporters to be ready to fight if trump wins.

other democratic leaders are telling the masses to destroy everything in their cities and cripple the economy if trump is elected president.

other democratic leaders are appealing to the military who support the democratic agenda to step in and stop any arm citizens on the side of trump if he is elected, and remove the president by force if he wins the election.. hillary clinton is making it clear to the democratic supporters, that joe biden will become president -after president trump becomes elected.. looks like a dictator coup d'état,to overthrow the usa government by non-democratic means is now in the making.

Why are intelligent people still discussing the 3 million extra votes of hillary?

The electoral college is there for a reason

Does Anybody Here Sympathize With The Looters That Cause Destruction?

i realize some here are diehard democrats.

whether you are democrat, republican or independent, do you support any of these looters that cause mayhem and destruction for their cause?

i have heard some people sympathize with these law breakers saying they understand why they do what they do and leave it at that.. of course i wonder how they would feel if their own property was burnt or stolen or destroyed..

In 1992 when I was in high-school in Newark, NJ I decided to join the rest of my high-school during the Rodney King riot. We left school as a group around 1:00 and there were many with good intentions.

Mounted police arrived and one girl pulled out a knife, lunged at a police horse and stabbed it. The police began swinging and things went nuts. Then a group of people who were basically troublemakers started breaking windows on West Market Street. They started looting.

Sneakers, clothes,etc... it raged for 3 or 4 hours until people got out of work. White people were robbed, and beaten. Then black people were also robbed and beaten. Our presiding overseer Br. Kurtz was hit in the head with a brick.

I stole some shoes and clothes. I did it not because I was angry, but because I got caught up.

I dont sympathize. I understand how it happens. The mob mentality is strong and persuasive. Most people are involved because they want shit they can't afford.

Rubadun what do you do to improve the lives if those around you? It seems you have a real disregard for people from certain parts of the country you have never met. You judge others based on the most trivial of things.

So what do you do to separate yourself? Do you donate, employ or assist anyone?
