A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words. Sometimes More.

No anti-semitism here folks, move along...

Amazing. My favorites:

1) "Nazi kikes". Do these people even know what the Nazis did and sought? The Isrealis don't seek to conquor and subjugate a region, they permit free speach and political participation of everybody in their nation, and they are exterminating nobody (the explosion of Palistinian populations provides absolute evidence of that!). The Nazi comparasion much more applies to Isreal's opponents (many of whose leaders back in during the Nazi days allied with them). Also unlike the Nazis, the Isrealis seek to defend external attacks on their existance, versus the Nazis who... oh, never mind. The Isrealis are Nazis!

2) bolshevik.org supporting Hezbollah. Both totalitarian groups, but one "totally" opposed to all religions and any religious practic, the other "totally" derived from a single religion and a requirement that all practice it.

3) "If Hezbollah hides among civilians, the IDF has no choice -- It must hold fire." Presumably no protesters have demanded that Hezbollah stop this practice; in this rally, many flew the Hezbo flag. With this demand met -- a requirement never imposed upon, or accepted by, any military anywhere, ever, and which Isreal's opponents neither observe or have anybody require of them. Nobody at this rally demanded that Hezbo stop targetting Isreali civillians.

4) "Our Government Did 911". (But couldn't plant WMDs in Iraq.)

5) I do agree with the anti "Chosen People" placard. That's quite an offensive aspect of Judaism. I agree with Nadir that this constitutes racism.

6) "Fuck Corruption". This exemplifies the naivite and immutrity of the left.

7) "Iraq + Lebanon = Liquid Explosives". So, what led to 911? (Assuming that the US Govt didn't "do" this to itself). The official Nadir/Buchannon/Binladen answer is, "Because we're over there." But our military isn't "over there" suppressing the freedom of opportunities of muslim people. Sure, the US govt supports some of the govts that do that, particularly that of Saudi Arabia. But the US military would not oppose a freedom/democracy movement there. And the US opposes other oppressive regimes, such as Syria and Iran, and before 911 opposed Iraq's repressive regime.

8) "We respect your religion, you disrespect Islam", held by a woman wearing one of these midaevel head wraps. In what country do muslims respect other religions? Why does this woman live here in a country that "disrespects" her religion?

9) Smiling photos of Hezbo's leader, who plants his weapons in, and fires them from and towards, civillian locations, attempting to maximize civillian locations on both sides of the border; a guy who seeks to outlaw all other religions, and to impose the practice of his religion on all; a guy who seeks to eliminate democracy and free speach.

10) "Isreal broke my arm." Pretty funny pro-Isreal T-shirt, a guy with a healthy arm pretending it's broken and blaming the fake injury on Isreal. That exemplifies a big part of this situation.

Nadir, are these people parroting "party lines" and "talking points", as you occuse Six and me of?
