Danielle has been fighting the anti-Israel propaganda on her own. And doing it well.
Firstly Hezbollah and Israel both used cluster bombs. Though the news media put Israel's use in neon lights and Hezbollah's in small print on the centre pages. Why? Also as Danielle correctly pointed out the there were Jewish refugees from other middle eastern countries. In fact nearly half of Israel's population stems from these people. They were just as numerous as the Palestinian refugees, but are usually ignored in discussion. Why? AS well as these middle eastern Jews there are Muslim Arabs, Christians, Baha'i and Druze in Israel yet it is wrongly portrayed as a largely European intrusion in the area. Why? Boaz writes that Jews could be unpopular because the Sassoon family had interests in the Chinese drug trade. There were also Christians involved, would that make people anti-Christian? As to the comment about Jewish wool buyers being OK as long as you knew the correct prices, surely that is basic business competence in selling anything, what had religion to do with that?

Logic
Danielle hasn't been fighting any propaganda she's been presenting the usual pro israeli drivel and ascusing others who point out her anomolies, contradicyions and outright lies as being anti-semitic ...sigh. You know, all the usual boring stuff. Oh she doesn't acknowledge any of the peace moves or the establishment of peace by the Arab nations either... but that's not new either...is it?

I know that you are not antisemitic. However many Arab leaders are openly so which makes their peace proposals just empty rhetoric. Peace moves which do not acknowledge the right of Israel to exist are just hot air. Peace moves which do not offer to reform an Arab education system that preaches to children that Jews are evil are not sincere. And peace moves which ask for right of return for Palestinians and offer nothing to displaced Jews and other non Muslims are empty. When the Arab leaders make a proper peace proposal they will be met with consideration. What we are seeing is just grandstanding. Posted by logic, Sunday, 1 July 2007 6:13:26 PM

Part 1
logic QUOTE And peace moves which ask for right of return for Palestinians and offer nothing to displaced Jews and other non Muslims are empty. END QUOTE I understood that the Palistinians were driven of their land when Jews took the land of them having first waged a campaign of terrorism against them! Its like the pot calling the kettle black! I consider it nonsense for anyone to claim that Jews have a right on land that belonged to the Palistinians. It is an absurdity. I might have Jewish blood flowing through my veins but do not view that I have more right then a fellow human being, and rather take the position that too much death and destruction is occurring because of religion, and those converting to a religion to make it profitable. Why indeed should Jews coming from other parts of the world have a right to take the land belonging to the Palistinians? I do not accept this to be correct. Taking the bible too literary means that the meaning of words are twisted to suit whatever anyone desires to make out of it, rather that the real message is coming across. Last Friday, I happened to be in the bank when I was served by a woman who turned to be a Muslim. I discovered this only after we were talking for over one hour and she suddenly commented I might consider to read the English version of the Koran as she had the view I lived my life as a Muslim. Well, I do not practice religion, as I had told her earlier and had stated my views against violence, terrorism, etc. As such, call her a moderate Muslim or whatever, she certainly indicated to me to be a devout Muslim and that her view was that the Koran opposed violence/killings!

Part 2
OK, I have never read the Koran, but having attended a religious (Christian) school I am well aware of some of the violence referred to in the Bible and I understand likewise so is it in the Koran. Hence, you can pick and choose out of either what you desire to use, or you simply take the good and forget about the bad. The Bible is a randomly put to getter book, where parts were later inserted and others removed or deliberately kept out. As such, one should not rely upon it as being accurate as to what was intended in the past, but again, take the good parts and forget about the bad parts. Forget about taking someone else land and rather seek to live peacefully together. To me that is “logic”. I have just posted an article about the plight of refugees, see my blog; http://au.360.yahoo.com/profile-ijpxwMQ4dbXm0BMADq1lv8AYHknTV_QH and my website http://www.schorel-hlavka.com Now, we can criticise others but take it from me we are in the Commonwealth of Australia in a considerable mesh!

On average, we’re immature, naive, gullible, determinedly uninformed ... Deeply, Deeply Suspicious of Higher Education .. tinny-in-hand-experts; loud-mouthed “know nothing”. And proud of it.
Whilst liking “some” international food, we’re xenophobic, racist. We refuse to learn about others’ cultures, beliefs, languages or writing systems.
...let’s not mention refugees or our indigenous peoples ...

I have just added to my blog at
http://au.360.yahoo.com/profile-ijpxwMQ4dbXm0BMADq1lv8AYHknTV_QH correspondence to HRH Queen Elizabet II, and for those interested may just discover that not only Danielle comment was very much to the point, as I view it, but further are like zombies having politicians, who supposingly have to represent us, robbing us ongoing of constitutional rights.
Many people argue that Westerners have a better intelligence then those of Asian, middle east and other countries with coloured races. Well, if that were to be presumed to be so, not that I agree with it at all, then just consider what I have written to Queen Elizabeth II and how foolish (politely stated) Australians are.
If then we cannot even manage to have, so to say, our own house in order, how then can we dictate upon others how they ought to do it?
I have been given the understanding that the Federal Government has black-banned me and the media prohibited to report anything I state, and as such this underlines that people in Australia are deliberately misled and deceived. How then can we expect people in strife torn countries to do better where we cannot even do so in time of peace? Just look at the Aboriginals, how they are again caused to suffer, and this just for scoring politically for a federal-election! Worse, the conduct of the Federal Government may in the long term cause more harm then good and the “show” of service might just be that, a “show” while the children now abused will continue to be so, because of a political driven conduct.
As much as we ourselves cannot manage in Australia we should regrettably acknowledge that strife torn countries likely neither will go any better. Sad but true.
