Cutting the grass in the theatre of war : Comments

By Junaid Cheema, published 30/7/2014

In Sderot, local Israelis pulled up chairs at hill tops to watch the bombing of Gaza. The spectators took happy snaps, shared popcorn and cheered; as the Israeli Military cut the grass - dealing death on Gaza.

Mr Mcadam.

I demand that you apologise to me for deliberately misrepresenting my position.

I said to you, that no contributor on OLO has suggested that Palestinians are "subhuman". I said that it was a cultural universal that combatants in every war consider their enemies as subhuman, a premise you agreed with.

And I do think that the Palestinians deserve what they get, while I am sure that you think that the Israelis deserve what they get.

Thank you.

Dear LEGO, you wrote :- "I demand that you apologise to me for deliberately misrepresenting my position."

Sure, dear LEGO, I'll be glad to apologize if this really is the case, as you say.

You say; your post, that I copied for every one to see, did not imply that you had a claim to the right to degrade the Palestinians to the level of subhumans? And that, I agreed with you about considering the other side subhuman, is a news to me.

Let me understand your position clearly now; do you maintain that Palestinians are not subhumans? That they are humans with rights equal to Israelis? And you have actions on ground to substantiate that this is really what is being practiced on ground? Is this what your position is?

And the following answer by your friend, you think is really a proof that you indeed consider the Palestinians as fellow human beings and you would like done unto you what is being done to them?

(10. How much burning phosphorus is poured over you for demanding the right to return to your homeland if you are a Palestinian?

I could say. Not nealy enough, but that would be nasty so I wouldn't do that. What a stupid question. Mentality 0.)

If yes, I'll confess that I misunderstood you and shall gladly apologize .........and that would be the end of the debate, ay least, as far as I am concerned.

Best regards

McAdam: please tell me that you treat Palestinians as equal human beings; deserving to be treated like the Israelis themselves.

Of course Palestinians are Human Beings. If only Hamas would treat them as such & allow them to take refuge in places that aren't storing Hamas's weapons. Hamas didn't fire their weapons from Hospitals , Schools & Civilian neighbourhoods. That would be a good start. Israel would drop the blockade if it could be sure Hamas wouldn't import more Rockets, Mortars & small arms. It would be good if Hamas & all the other Fanatical Factions in Gaza disarmed completely. Fat chance of that ever happening.

Now, as you have used one of my answers to Questions Hadi asked. Why are you & your cohorts ignoring my Questions?

Found on Page 29. Post 5. They are not hard & I have given you some of the answers already.

“IT IS THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MURDERER, THE RAPIST, THE BULLY. THAT'S WHAT ISRAEL IS IN THIS SITUATION."
Alexei Sayle (of Jewish Descent)

And this is what the likes of Jayb represent and ‘wear it’ with complete self-confidence completely devoid of any self-respect – any doubts? Just go through the posts on this forum.

Jayb,
Terrorist friends? I am not acquainted with any Zionists – Jews, yes, Zionists No! Unless they happen to be closet Zionists as well – so yes your statement may be technically true.
You are definitely the highest-IQ individual I have come across -> Inhumanity-Quotient.

(the word ‘individual seems a bit rich to describe whatever it is one becomes after shedding the conscience as you have acknowledged)

The brazen impunity in your posts is typical of the ‘we can get away with anything’ Zionist mindset you represent, unfortunately for the rest of us mere mortals consequences of our actions and words is a bothersome thought always lingering in the back of our heads – you are clearly free from any such considerations as is your Israeli Defence Forces in the slaughtering of defenceless civilians, including children and then in continuation of truly Zionistic traditions -> the depiction of the victims of your insatiable lust for blood as ‘human shields’ ………………..

What the world is beginning to realize -> The proponents of ‘might is right’ philosophy only understand the language of ‘might’, don’t call it Terrorism when the illegal and brutal occupiers are paid back in the same coin, as all other avenues are deliberately closed on them.
I would certainly answer your questions – more of a comical attempt to wipe off any reference to Palestine from history – if it was genuinely an attempt to find answers, with your divert and run-to-the-next-big-lie tactics, I guess paying you back in the same coin, would be:

“Go *fetch*…………………………-> o “

Hadi & McAdam & you fellow Radicals. I assume I must be right in all my assertions as you refuse to answer any of them.

1. Do you support Hamas?
2. Do you support ISIL in Syria/Iraq?
3. Do you support an Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East?
4. Do you support the making of Australia into the Great Southern Caliphate?
5. Do you support Sharia Law to be above Australian Law?
6. Do you support anyone who wants to leave Australia to support Hamas or the ISIL be allowed to go?

I look forward to you answers.

My answers:

1. No
2. No.
3. No.
4. No.
5. Definitely, No.
6. Yes.

See. Easy.

SPQR,
No wonder you are upset at Karen Armstrong’s research which demolishes your web of fabrications you intend to weave around a faith. You bring in faith so you can demonise the victims with the misinformation which now stands exposed.

As I have been saying, the topic of our discussion is not a faith issue, it is a human issue. That is why people of conscience get attracted to it without any consideration for race or religion.

Another such person is one of the greatest living scientists of this time: STEPHEN HAWKING.

Stephen Hawking boycotted the Israeli President’s conference in Hebrew University of Jerusalem as a protest against Israeli policies towards Palestinians.

• “It is worth noting that the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where the conference Hawking refused to attend was to be held, is built on illegally annexed Palestinian land”(The Guardian)

• Pro-Israel lobby promoted the initial false claim that he had withdrawn on health grounds.

• But “Hawking also made it clear that if he had gone he would have used the occasion to criticise Israel's policies towards the Palestinians”(The Guardian)

• Hawking's public refusal follows that of prominent singers, artists and writers, from Brian Eno to Mike Leigh, Alice Walker and Adrienne Rich, all of whom have publicly rejected invitations to perform in Israel.

• Hawking's decision has opened a floodgate with more and more scientists coming to regard ISRAEL AS A PARIAH STATE.

You may have read (from real sources) SPQR, how Apartheid supporters in South African felt about the sports boycott. It was like the end of their world as they knew it.

Something similar is happening to your Israel. The conscience is in short supply in Israel itself, therefore, the outside world (that you are so afraid of) is doing it for your Israel.

Believe it or not The WORD-CONSCIENCE IS CLOSING IN ON YOUR ISRAEL.

My next post will be about another world-renowned person of conscience.
