And recently after the Pope asked the church to show tolerance towards gays, I don't get this either.

"The call to "accept and value" homosexuals was in a draft report, but failed to win the backing of two-thirds of the bishops at a synod in Rome."

Oh, the protestants hate the catholics,
And the catholics hate the protestants,
And the hindus hate the moslems,
And everybody hates the jews.

St. Paul had a lot to do with it. I don't know if his words validated whatever some people already thought but they did nothing but harm. Off topic a bit but anyone seen "Witchfinder General"? Fiction but according to the history books, accurate enough. Although it was made in the U.K. it was heavily edited for showing here. You'll find the uncut version for sale on the Internet.

Putin looking for a scapegoat? Something to march to? Doesn't matter what it stands for, some people just follow the band. They want prejudice, it validates their attitude towards whatever they fear.

Who ever said Hamas and their supporters are "....pacifists who only want peace."? Not me. I couldn't care less about either camp. Of course they hate the Jews and vice-versa. Wouldn't you, if you were them? Take an objective look at that ridiculous shit we have over there and tell me how these people are ever supposed to get along?

Give it a rest Ike.

The Jews have it made in the shade in this country.

Practically everyone, especially our government, bends over backwards to accommodate the Jews.

You got THAT right. I wonder how long Israel would last if we ever did cut off support?

Dylan.

Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly
To hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He's the neighborhood bully. - "Neighborhood Bully"

Dylan was right on the money. And it's a great song as well.

Check your PM's for my objective look, Dave. I'm tryin' to avoid generating the ridiculous shit we have on this forum every time we go any deeper into the P&J (that's Palestinian & Jew, not peanut butter and jelly) situation.

BTW,

No, I don't believe that would be the end of it. I don't believe that would be the end of it anymore than it ever HAS been the end of it. It's always been tit for tat between Palestinian and Jew, for hundreds of years, and always will be.
