Wow - what a thread. If Arabs are Semites, isn’t it anti-Semitic to kill 100,000 of them in an illegal immoral war based on lies and “fixed” intelligence?” How about digging up Muslim graves in a 1,000-year-old Jerusalem cemetary to make room for a Museum of “Tolerance” underwritten by the Simon Wiesenthal Center? If those actions are not anti-Semitic, nothing is.

Most sites degenerate when you start throwing in subtle antisemitic reasoning for the troubles in any particular region.

The same reason why any site degenerates when ever hints of racism is used to explain things.

If AL answered honestly without all the layers of his screwed up life, I would perfer his answer too.

I’d prefer AL to answer for himself
but if that is his point ,there isn’t one . Lots of people make profits form war, disease ,restricting others rights .
So what if some people of a certain faith do this , people of all faiths do it.
This site is degenerating if that is all it’s about.
Lame.

No confusion. His point was to highlight a Jew he considered immoral. We all got his point.

Making money from war ?
The guy sounds like he also screwed a bunch of small investors into the deal.
AL how is it possible to be strict ?
The guy who invented the wire framed containers which are used to build retaining walls was an ex miner from Yorkshire. The US military made him one of the UK’s richest men but his product doesn’t kill anyone ,still his profit is immoral?
Why highlight only one person who has make a lot of money in this way ? Your point is confused by this .

To most ultra-liberals, making money by anything but your own sweat is immoral.

Making money from war is immoral, as the sweet David H. Brooks can testify. I have never said all soldiers are immoral, or anything of the sort.
As usual, please don’t let the facts get in the way, you brave truth tellers!
And tell me, how is that liberation coming along?

Everyone’s educational credentials are suspects here except for Ibraham’s, the master of all knowledge and the benchmark for human conscience.

“Eddie gave a lesson in ethics? That’s a laugh. But now we have an insight on his lack of educational credentials.”

Well, economics is my area, so I suppose you’re right.
