OMG, you unfairly turned a woman's life upside down and YOU have the gall to play the "unfair attack" card? YOU PEOPLE ARE PSYCHOTIC!!!! This is why the average tea bagger is probably 60 years old, you've lost an entire generation! It was "heavily edited" (not necessarily by Breitbart, but certainly by his source for the video) because you didn't show in what context she made those supposedly "racist comments". History is going to look at you people the same way we look at the KKK of the early 20th century- a bunch of right wing kooks.

funny you should say that, given the fact that Israel wouldn't be a legitimate state if it weren't for the partition resolution passed by the UN back in '47, which is why it's understandable for the Palestinians and the Arab community to view the Zionist state's creation as an imposition from the imperialist West.

And if Israel doesn't take international agreements seriously, then it should be honest with itself and the rest of the world and get out of the UN and remove itself from the Geneva Conventions. But until then, Israel shouldn't act like it is above the law that it holds every other country up to.

Don't forget that as a member of the Geneva Convention, any territory Israel obtained through war cannot be settled by any of its citizens. And according to UN Res. 242 Israel must go back to its pre-67 borders (which really they ought to be thankful for, by rights they should go back to pre-'48 borders). Don't think that kind of international law was around when the US took all that territory from Mexico all those years ago.

I agree that Anti-Semitism is wrong and foolish. Being critical of Israel does not make one an anti-Semite (amazing how so many people can't grasp that).

Only a small portion of the Palestinian population were nomads (though nomads have rights, too), the vast majority had been living in the area cultivating citris groves and olive trees among other constructive activities for centuries before the Zionists came to kick them out. They never had their own nation thanks to the imperialists in Ottoman Turkey and the British Empire. That's why their curret struggle is so important.

The Jews have made the desert bloom, yes (with a lot of help from foreign investment). So what? Hitler got Germany out of the depression, does that mean the Nazis should have stayed in power?

oh, I get it. I'm talking about the same crowd that thinks "what kind of news magazines do you read?" is a "gotcha" question for Governor Writes-on-Hands. liberals haven't destroyed the economy, corporatist Republicrats have.

Israel won't have to "succomb" if it would follow international law and stop acting like the Apartheid government of South Africa towards Palestinians.

great point, and the large group of Indians would justify their claim because a majority of UN members said they could re-establish their own state.

Much ado about nothing. Though I suspect anything less than absolute worship of Sarah Baracuda is the same as treason for right wingers.
