Dear dane,

We can thank Jewish literature for so many examples of the Israel/Gaza conflict in both folklore and history. David and Goliath, the siege of Masda, the Warsaw ghetto uprisings, all battles against intolerably superior forces.

I think history will write a version of this struggle that will in no way resemble the narrative being propagated through the majority of Western media, aided and abetted by the likes of MEMRI TV

“The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) ... was co-founded in 1998 by Yigal Carmon, a former Israeli military intelligence officer and Meyrav Wurmser, an Israeli-born, American political scientist. MEMRI states that its goal is to "bridge the language gap that exists between the Middle East and the West". Critics charge that it aims to portray the Arab and Muslim world in a negative light, through the production and dissemination of inaccurate translations and by selectively translating views of extremists while deemphasizing or ignoring mainstream opinions.”

Their distortions are well known as I have already discussed with Singer.

Dear David Singer,

Mate, you are looking a bit lonely so I'll bite.

Thank you for the link. A passionate plea from this Yazidi Iraqi MP Vian Dakhil for her people to be saved from the latest mob religious zealots to run amok. She also speaks of Shiites, Sunnis, Christians, Turkmens and the Shabak people who are all under threat from this lot of butchers. I know you would like to keep this thing a Christian-Islam thing since painting Muslims as butchers, particularly against Christians which are the largest donor/support group to Israel but you can't.

As for me apparently misquoting you all I did was take the words from the front page of OLO. Since you have disowned them I accept they are not yours but probably should have been in quotation marks to avoid confusion.

Steelredux may have a point, David Singer.

All of the ethnic cleansing and genocide by Muslims occurring in the past and occurring before our eyes on our TV screens today could all be Jewish propaganda.

I say this because everybody on planet Earth knows that the Muslims have a reputation for tolerance towards minorities.

Again you act deceptively in suggesting the MEMRI translation may be incorrect - but offer no proof that it is.

You also omit the sources mentioned in your Wikipedia link that praise MEMRI - such as Tom Friedman, Brit Hume, John Lloyd and Jay Nordlinger.

You state:

" Thank you for the link. A passionate plea from this Yazidi Iraqi MP Vian Dakhil for her people to be saved from the latest mob religious zealots to run amok. She also speaks of Shiites, Sunnis, Christians, Turkmens and the Shabak people who are all under threat from this lot of butchers. I know you would like to keep this thing a Christian-Islam thing since painting Muslims as butchers, particularly against Christians which are the largest donor/support group to Israel but you can't."

Your snide imputation as to my motives in bringing the plight of the Christians to public notice is absolutely rejected.

The Yazidis are another non-Moslem group being oppressed by Moslems

You would have to be blind to not see that Moslem has been killing Moslem in Syria, Libya, Gaza, Yemen,Algeria and Egypt and that IS is doing the same in Iraq.

Moslems certainly have a problem with their fellow Moslems. Stopping them senselessly killing each other in constant suicide attacks in markets and severing their heads off in sect v sect confrontations are the clearest cases of a madness and barbarism that defies explanation.

Christians have however become an endangered species - being deliberately targeted and forced to leave their homes and possessions to save their lives if they do not convert to Islam or pay a special tax.

I am still waiting for the response you promised almost two weeks ago.

At least you had the good grace to withdraw one misrepresentation.

Perhaps you might like to withdraw your snide imputation referred to above.

LEGO,

The reason Muslims have a reputation for intolerance towards minorities, is because they are indeed, brutally intolerant towards minorities.
Do you really doubt that religious minorities who survived for centuries in the ME are now being systematically annihilated by ISIL or by some other cult of Islamic psychopaths? There are many reports from reputable news organisations of the genocide now being committed in Iraq and Syria.
