Define "think".

eta:

Let me point out, if I was solely talking about think crimes against the Jews, then I would post something like this:

query for the pacifists, appeasers and other voices for Israeli restraint:

-Would it be appropriate for the Israelis to take Mel Gibson out?

-If so, does it need to be a strategic kill or is collateral damage justified?

See, e.g., your (1) and (2). Maybe your (3), too -- that one was a little more ambiguous, but I decided to construe it the wrong way for the sake of argument.

And if taking out Mel Gibson would prevent him from making more movies, the rest of the world, Jew and Xtn and Islamic alike, can all rejoice in the collateral damage. We'll always have Mad Max.

Interpret 2 and 3 expansively, based on actual behaviour and acts.

As for 1, isn't anti-semitism a hate crime under International Law........oh, wait, the Euros and the UN exempted anti-semitism.

Sorry.

You were a big fan of What Women Want, I take it? The Patriot? Lethal Weapon 4?

eta: Penske has my proxy on this particular issue.

No, just our home prices. A burning Hollywood probably won't help them.




ETA: After doing some research on the matter, I've reconsidered. Take the fucker out.

I never said anything about your stance on Iraq relative to your stance on Israel. I defy you to find a single instance.

On July 18, you said:

Perhaps instead of suggesting I go fuck myself you might wish to inquire of yourself why it is that you are applauding the same conduct by Israel vis. a vis. not distinguishing between combatants and civilians that ou condemned when the US did the same in Iraq? If you can find a way to reconcile the two, I will withdraw my comment.

I would be embarassed by that statement too, Wonk -- but running away from it doesn't help.

Furthermore, when I suggested US occupation, you started the whole "genocide" thing.

That was not in response to a suggestion of US occupation. It was in response to your suggestion that imperialism was a good option. I took that as a half-assed comment and made a half-assed response ("genocide by white people is good?"). It was an effort to remind anyone who would actually support or talk fondly of imperialism of what that really means.

I did not accuse you of being a proponent of genocide, because I did not think that you seriously applaud the notion of imperialism and all that it wrought throughout the world.

In contrast, you have consistently accused me of, in essence, being a war criminal. And of "fashionably" suggesting that Arab lives are worthless.

Worse yet, you have the temerity to make that accusation in the same thread where you advocate the US invading Lebanon, conquering it, and administering it as a protectorate for the next 100 years -- an approach that anyone would recognize is not only impracticable, likely impossible, but that will cause vastly more deaths than anything Israel has done this year. (cf Iraq, 100 bodies a day and counting.)

And again -- after you propose that, you call me a proponent of genocide. Claiming that I "played that card" when I did not use it in anything like the context or manner that you are using it worse than a cop-out -- it's an excuse that you know to be bullshit (just like you should know the claim that you "never said anything about your stance on Iraq relative to your stance on Israel").


A Jew who lost family in the Holocaust should be a bit more careful about accusing people of supporting genocide. You ought to know the fucking difference.

You can withdraw that comment, or you can go fuck yourself and your familly, you worthless piece of shit.

Is it true that Mel is making a documentary about the Holocaust?

Ten bucks says that the "directors cut" has a disclaimer at the end. (You know: "The foregoing is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real events or people is merely a result of the creative process, due largely to the Worldwide Jewish Conspiracy forcing the myth of the Holocaust upon us.")

In a "Most Helpful like Hank" sort of way I thought that comment you edited out was actually a bit of a de-escalation of the rhetoric in the last couple of sentences that you left in. FWIW.

The US should do it, not leave it for Israel. It's pretty clear we have better aim and higher precision weapons.

By the way, apparently Gibson has been complaining about his wild and crazy neighbors, Britney and Kevin. On second thought, let's let the Israelis take care of this one.

I don't remember the rape part from The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.

No, but the book "A Band of Brothers" refers in passing, and rather casually, to what almost had to be the gang rape of a German farmer's wife (by soldiers not of that unit).
