Israel--current Events

And I'll need a postal address to send that Gordon letter, my scanner is "sick" right now.
Seems the gist is that the Clan is badly fractured and split and these people want to tighten it up and restructure it in the US.

Thanks, Emmet. That's really kind of scary . . . it's just exactly what I was referring to. Complicates things tremendously. The link in the column to the right, in the article you linked in, called "Pew Forum," lays the statistics out in an illuminating way.


Ahem, well. Here is a calendar for the month of August that will let you check the breaking news as it comes out of IDF official sources and into globalsecurity.net. You may agree, disagree, or think it's a bunch of unmitigated propaganda -- but it's a pretty prominent voice in the debate that ought to be assessed, and this is a nice compact place that's being updated constantly.

I had the IDF home page open earlier, but it won't open for me now. No doubt they sent a hagana-bot to my hard drive and found out I was talkin' with y'all, and I'm a poor security risk.

I'll e-mail it to you on within this site OK?

Fine

And does Saudi Arabia count? Nice people, country is a little dry for my tastes, but it was okay!

Saudi? What were you doing there Anyway I'm not talking Govt. contractors I mean as a citizen who is not of the Muslim faith.

If he disagrees with it, then he'll probably think it's propaganda!

Hey, hey, I'm not peddling it myself, just providing a source that's tracking developments closely and reporting/interpreting them. Still gotta keep eyes open.

Eh, it's opening again. Take your chances:

Perhaps no one wants to encourage another racist diatribe about how evil, wicked, and bloodthirsty all Muslims are.

No, we should hang on your every word and take that to our graves. I see.

I agree, wrong thread.

Might as well. Israel seems to be getting their fair share of harsh commentary.

I'm responding to you because I refuse to respond to Emmet. I think those cartoons and they reaction they bought showed just how a big majority of how Islam is. It's not a religion of peace in my opinon. Ut's too bad that the ones who practice it peacefully get a bad rep for it and they are in fear to stand up and speak out against the violence those cartoons started. At least those in the Middle East.

Ut's too bad

Might as well. Israel seems to be getting their fair share of harsh commentary.

Harsh perhaps, but well deserved (with citations), and directed at the policies of the political state of Israel, not Jewish people in general.

What if I were to propose that Fred Phelps was truly representative of all Christians?
I see no discernable qualitative difference in stating that all Muslims are murderous than in stating that all Jews are cheats, all Blacks are lazy, all Latinos are thieves, or all Irish are drunkards, and I fail to see how such statements contribute anything of value to the conversation.

I'm not the one who brought it in, just trying ro keep it in perspective.

my mistake, I somehow missed that

I was actually referring to the validity/accuracy/trustworthy of the Bible issue.

It does have a bit to do with this discussion as a historical document and likely as a prophetic document. But this would be the wrong thread to get into any of that.

Can you please accept my humblest apologies Dogshirt
