You do not understand them because you do not know what I&#039;m talking about.  It is not Christian Jew-hatred.  Your own comment is filled with all sorts of assumptions about views I do not have, and therefore, do not express.  But at least read my comment #84.  I already explained my views to Mark Malone.</description>

		<description>Joseph, let&#039;s put all this silly talk to bed.  I never claimed virgin sheets for Jewish or Israeli fighters.  What I said was that the Arabs are experts at massacres.  They make whatever we have done look like small change.  

The other thing I said is that When you consider this attitude on the part of the Wahhabi trash running the Arab portions of Judea and Samaria, the only solution is to kill the terrorist leaders off and annex the territory – expelling out those Arabs who insist on maintaining state of rebellion against the constituted legitimate authority here, Israel.  I stand by that.

The Wahhabi trash running Ramallah and Gaza are the spiritual descendants of Hitler.  Bullets are too good for them - but you gotta use something to rid the world of this satanic garbage.</description>

		<description>#93 Avitar  I too voted JL his first time; Weicker indeed was despicable.  A friend of mine used to always call him either 
&quot;3-Wives Weicker&quot; or &quot;The WHALE&quot;.  I saw him on the street once;
I&#039;m 6&#039;5 1/2&quot; tall; we could have had an evenly-matched staring contest, but he would have won, as I would have been too distacted by his double bulk.  Sometimes Joe reminds me of Pat Moynihan (D-NY in Senate, but served in Nixon&#039;s cabinet) in terms of thoughtfulness.  Also, wasn&#039;t JL the only senator to give 
Boy Clinton a talking-to, from the floor?</description>

Ruvy, I don&#039;t understand these kinds of statements at all. I&#039;m sorry I just don&#039;t. If you want to see true Anti-Semitism you need to look at the secular and religious left. 

The religious right have been the most ardent supporters of Israel for YEARS and have received nothing but abuse from the Jewish community. They are, on average the least anti-Semitic people you will deal with. Most of them actually take the promise in the Abrahamic covenant literally. They believe that they will receive a blessing from God because they bless Jews. Let me rephrase that. They believe that giving honor to Jews on both a personal and corporate level, will entitle them to a divine blessing. Many believe that Israel should occupy a nation with borders given to Moses and extend from just North East of Egypt to Southern Turkey and include the nations of Syria, Lebannon, Jordan and part of Iraq. 

When I was in graduate school at UT Austin I had a Jewish classmate from the North East. Her father was a Rabbi and they were concerned that she was going to get lynched because of the anti-Semitic, jackbooted Christians march around Austin. They had a hard time believing it when she told them that absolutely nobody cared if she were Jewish. It didn’t matter. It was less of an issue than if ehe&#039;s been in NYC. 

Are there a few people who claim to be Christians who openly anti-semitic? Yes, but it isn’t the majority and the few are not generally welcome in churches unless they repent. Your statement is, in fact so offensive that it is difficult to reply to without anger. I suggest that you actually have some personal interaction with the people you are defaming. I believe that you’d find that you owe them an apology.</description>

No Dave, the party didn&#039;t kick him out, Lieberman lost his Democratic Primary to Ned Lamont, and as stated the party has let him keep his post despite campaigning for McCain.</description>

Muslims generally and Palestinians certainly have more than their fair share of murderous actions we all can point to but that doesn&#039;t mean the Israelis have completely clean hands either.  According to Morris (Benny Morris an Israeli historian born in 1948) the Israelis were responsible for 24 massacres during the &#039;48 war.  Of course the Palestinians aren&#039;t pure either their count is 2 or 3 according to Morris.  As for more recent events, Baruch Goldstein&#039;s murder of 29 and the wounding of 150 in 1994(source of both Wikipedia).

Now I know that Israelis can point to lots and lots of examples of equally vicious behavior by Muslims and Palestinians.  Most folks in this country with some historical perspective can point to lots and lots of vicious behavior by Native Americans but few of us now would suggest ethnic cleansing on any scale much less that done by our ancestors.  Equally your suggestion to ethnically cleanse the West Bank is going to haunt your descendants and will be repudiated.  Also the world wouldn&#039;t stand by while you did it.  

I don&#039;t know what the solution is but yours is pretty vicious IMHO.

The New Yorker Magazine has a pretty good article about Gaza by Lawrence Wright in it&#039;s Nov. 9th issue, I highly recommend it if you wish to see another point of view.

As for Joe he is too tainted for Democrats and too liberal for Republicans.  Poor Joe stuck between a rock and a hard place, but who knows algae sometimes survives in similar situations.</description>

		<description>The senator sees Integrity as a holistic concept. His perceptions come from a  consistency of thing and se of actions.  His values are not  those of a jew! they are of an American of Jewish history. History hangs with Joe Lieberman.  He  measures his actions and does not abandon his principles. He expects the best going into a political battle. He is one of a handful of politician&#039;s who are unique in that they have not become arrogant.  He is by almost any measure a man for the people. I hope and believe he will  think very long on the healthcare issue or any issue for that matter. We need to survive until

		<description>We need to get Joe in a room with those who can convince him of the global warming hoax so he will stop supporting cap and trade.  

I don&#039;t like the idea of the government becoming an insurance broker - telling us what policies we need to buy, how much we need to pay, and then giving us to a company to provide the services. robs me of my right to free choice.  I can&#039;t understand how any American can agree to this.  It&#039;s the same with card check:  it robs us of our right to a secret ballot - which I&#039;ve heard unions like.  I don&#039;t want to give up my right to make the choices in my life.  The latest scandal over breast cancer screenings should be a wake up call.  The Panel has decided that screenings don&#039;t work - regardless of the scientific evidence to the contrary.  The Panel will set policy.  Eventually. Our doctors and the insurance companies will be made to follow the policy.  American women will die needlessly.  That is Obamacare in a nutshell.  Who can support this?  We should see the writing on the wall.  This is an omen of things to come.</description>
