They even tried to sick the USS Liberty because they were trying to prevent the US getting wind of their plans to commence the attack.

This was not stating an opinion, but a fact. There is no escaping the charge of deliberate falsification.

I think that most people would agree that this comment is both malicious and ignorant. I suspect that Edward knows very little about either concentration camp guards or people living on disputed lands. Edward also seems to know very little about the frailties of making any moral comparison.

Read my post again. You don’t seem to have comprehended its one and only point. An assertion (or denial) of moral equivalence is worth nothing without an argument in support of it. Chris made the assertion without argument, therefore, Chris’s assertion, in itself, was worth nothing. If Chris had asserted the opposite without argument, I would have said the same thing.

As for knowledge of concentration camp guards, I have probably about the same about of knowledge as you do: none of it first-hand.

As for knowing “very little about the frailties of making any moral comparison”, that’s simply an unfounded assertion on your part - in which case, the comment I made to Chris applies equally to you here. Feel free to raise your standards.

100 people were killed by Israeli artillery and another very big mistake on Israel’s part. As I said, they seem to be very accident prone- if indeed it was an accident. It’s not like Israel has a soft spot for the UN is it?

“Why do you think that Corries possible suicide attempt is an official version?”

How else did the investigation conclude that the death was an accident?

Your “plausible scenerio” for Corrie’s death is the mother of all tin foil hat arguments. How in the world do you conclude that a woman’s pregnancy is a plausible scenario for wanting to die? Does that happen in your world a lot? Women becoming pregnant then committing suicide? Why are you so quick to ignore that Corrie was an activist who took up the Palestinian cause and believed that placing her body in front of the tractor would force it to stop?

Her death is far from insignificant, unless you consider all deaths to be insignificant. If it was indeed so insignificant, then the play in New Your would be proceeding would it not?

Or perhaps it’s insignificant because she was on the wrong side in your opinion? Seems her death is enough to worry the heck out of pro Israeli’s when the play comes to town, is it not? Either way, it makes your attitude to death pretty distasteful. Your trivialization of her death, by reducing it down to a tax issue, suggests you are a bitter and twisted individual.

“As for the Liberty, the only thing that can be taken from that is your penchant to make up ‘facts’. »

That is pure and utter exaggeration on your part Chris. Are you going to keep harping on about something I admitted to or give me an explanation as to what a real person is and why real people admire Israel?

You just made up a number of plausible scenarios about the play not being financially viable without providing any evidence whatsoever. Seems when it comes to Israel, you run around like a banshee making up the most pathetic “plausible” arguments you can think of to divert attention from the issue.

100 people were not targeted by snipers, or taken out and shot one at a time or lined up and killed. They died during the accidental shelling of a UN compound. Not classified as a massacre.

Why do you think that Corries possible suicide attempt is an official version? Just a theory since the autopsy hasn’t been made public, as far as I know. I don’t know why you think its an obsession, just a plausible scenerio as to why she might have wanted to die. Her death was rather insignificant. Didn’t change a thing except on her parent’s taxes. They lost a deduction.

As for the Liberty, the only thing that can be taken from that is your penchant to make up ‘facts’.

But then again,when you factor in the USS Liverty, it certainly appears that Israel seemextremely accient prone doesn’t it? Maybe theyu shoudl have those nukes put in the hands of comeone responsible to avvoid another one of those accidents.

BTW. The official Israeli version of Corrie’s death was that she was killed by falling debris, not by suicide, so it looks liek your lame theory is all washed up. You must be getting depressed at how your theories are like balloons that just pop.

What is your obsession with whether Corrie was pregnant or otherwise? Would it have made her death any more or less significant?

The accidental shelling of a UN compound could hardly be called a massacre. There was certainly no intention to kill harmless people.

It’s pitty you don’t think at all, just repeat the diatribe you have been programmed to repeat.

Incidently, what is your profession and level of education?

What was the truth abotu Quana? 100 dead Palestinins at the nad of the IDF. Yes, I can see how you woudl regard that as a success.

You keep harping on abotu Iran this and iran that is regards to the statements of their leader, yet you never once mentioned the million plus Iranians who came out is a demonstratino of solidarity towards teh US after 911.

Funny how you see the turth as a propaganda success.
