ISRAEL IS NOT INFALLIBLE
I'm sick of seeing people fellate Israel like it can do no wrong. If someone dares to speak against Israel, that person is automatically equated to Hitler and the Nazis. If Israel attacks a country, it's self-defense. But if any other Arab country attacks another country, the US Military Cowboys will be over there in a heartbeat bombing them, and toppling their "oppressive" regime.
If you say that the Muslims had their land stolen by the West, and given to the Jews, you'll usually hear the lame ass excuse "Well, the Israelis had it stolen 2000 years ago!" Great argument, moron. Of course, when you mention that by their logic, America should be given back to the Native Americans, they shut up. It doesn't matter if some "ragheads" get up-rooted, but heaven forbid you give up your comfy lifestyle to return the land America stole back to its rightful owners.
And another thing I'm sick of hearing is morons parading around what the Iranian President supposedly said. Accord to mainstream news outlets, he declared that "Israel should be wiped off the map." Numerous sources have in fact shown this to be a mistranslation of what he actually said. Here is an entry from Wikipedia:
Many news sources have presented one of Ahmadinejad's phrases in Persian as a statement that "Israel must be wiped off the map", an English idiom which means to cause a place to stop existing.
Juan Cole, a University of Michigan Professor of Modern Middle East and South Asian History, translates the Persian phrase as:
"The Imam said that this regime occupying Jerusalem (een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods) must [vanish from] the page of time (bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad)."
According to Cole, "Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to wipe Israel off the map because no such idiom exists in Persian" and "He did say he hoped its regime, i.e., a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse."
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translates the phrase similarly:
"[T]his regime that is occupying Qods [Jerusalem] must be eliminated from the pages of history."
According to translators, he said that the Zionist government that runs Israel should fall. Zionism is the movement which supported a Jewish state. It is important to note that there are Jews who do not support Zionism. Jews Against Zionism, Neturei Karta, Orthodox Jews United Against Zionism, and Satmar are all Jewish organizations that do not support the Israeli statehood.
Also, people say the Jews don't control the banks, and this is a racist statement. According to Wikipedia, the current Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank (The people who print America's money) is Jewish. The Mayer Amschel Rothschild family is also Jewish, and has supported Zionism. I admit, I don't know enough about banking families to say that all of them are run by Jews. But to say that Jews don't exert some control over our money is an outright lie.
Also, I oughta point out the stupidity of people who deny the Holocaust. These people either ignore common sense and logic by flat out denying it ever happened, or they claim that the genocide didn't happen to the extent they said it did. "It wasn't 5-6 million Jews killed in the concentration camps! It was only 2-3 million, LOL!" I'm not even going to touch such a stupid ass comment. My neighbor was in one of the concentration camps, Stutthof, which was one of the last camps liberated by the Allies. He was only maybe 16 at the time it was liberated. To deny the Holocaust is just plain retarded.
However, I think laws to make it illegal to deny the Holocaust are even more retarded. If someone wants to make an ass out of themselves, and deny the Holocaust, or downplay the death toll, then let them. There's a thing called "free speech" that allows this. If someone hates Jews or whatever, that's their problem. Let the Jews fight back about it themselves.
Stop deifying Israel and Jewish people simply because they were persecuted 60 years ago. Israel is no better than Iran, and Jews are no better than any other religion.
