UN resolutions mean nothing -- the UN has been highly pro-Palestine!

I made no mention of the ICJ.

Further, JEDIYoda, in a thread concerning justice and morality, I directly cited law that has been ratified and yet violated by Israel.

You may not dismiss such supporting citations on a whim. That is not how the Discussion Club works. Since that's the case and you choose not to directly respond to my supported points, then in the respect of this forum, I expect you to recant your dismissals.

Jew have 150 + Nobel prizes and Muslims actually have 10??? What gives??

Evidently you are more interested in pursuing bigoted arguments based upon racial/ethnic supremacy to put non Jews in their demeaned place.

Thank you for displaying to the community your position of unjust immorality.

wut?

Why do the poll numbers add up to 107.31%?

I suspect they have been inflated by YetiJOGA's Nobel maths.

Category totals currently show 19, 16 and 9 respectively, so sigma x=44
Screen shows the grand total of 41.

Thus the power of each vote has been exaggerated but the resulting error seems non-random.
 
Yep, the Iron Dome missed one.
The FAA current ban will make tourism to Israel much less attractive for this season.
According to BBC radio 4 this morning (06.20 UTC, July 23) hotel bookings in the main tourist destinations have dropped from "nearly full" to less than half. The same correspondent said that tourism is worth about $ 12-14 billion to Israel. That will be significantly reduced. War can be expensive

Like I said earlier this is the right decision. And Hamas now knows they have a weapon that might not have immediate effect but that can have enormous strategic importance and that can force the Israelites to stop their hypocritical bullshit of "righteous fighting". The Israelites are constantly using "unaggressive shit" to undermine and oppress the Palestinians and then cry and point the finger when the Palestinians get provacated into fighting.

Read this.

A good country doesn't gun down a man looking for his family in the pile of rubble. There is this and plenty of videos out there that prove Israel's brutal nature towards the Palestinians.

Also, there is the matter of settlements on land that was taken and is occupied by Israel.

And, let us not forget the hypocrisy with the UN:
- the UN is respected when Israel's existence is questioned,.. The UN recognizes Israel! We are a country!!
- the UN is shitted on when the UN condemns Israel's heavy handed responses

It is just a matter of time before any Arab owned land is totally taken over by Israelis - for security reasons of course,.. not like Israelis are living on the illegally occupied land.

🙄

And, the PR forces are and will be in full effect, to ensure the history is as followed: the Palestinians were wiped out because of Hamas*.

No one is going to stop them.





* sure the IDF bombed, shot, killed and drove them out,.. but, it was Hamas.

Ah! We have cracked it. That would explain the non-integer Vogon maths, but why did you vote for all three categories, I'm genuinely puzzled?

This poll was not of the usual marketing sort:

A) you either like bacon
Or
B) you are wrong.

Please select the response which most closely reflects your attitude to crispy, fat-free, health-giving, 'freedom' bacon. A. Or B.

Norseamd, I think some are saying that your question should simply be dichotomous:

For the Zionists, the proper, truly value-free question, should read:

A) I really love Benny Netanyahu all of the time.

B) Only some of the time.

Please select A or B but not both, when using the same identity.

Now what could be simpler? All questionnaire bias, instantly removed.

because I could. a country can't be good or bad, it's just a piece of land. that's like calling a snake bad when it's doing what it needs to do to live.

now, as for the people running it...

sigma x?

Oh shit son! You must be a statistician!
 
The overall worldwide context of this issue matters too. The context being that maybe most people and most countries (the governments) are bad. Maybe 90% bad. I'm not saying that's fact, I'm simply considering that as a possibility. So in that context if Israel is bad then that's just one of the over 170 other bad countries.

As for the idea of 90% being bad remember that lots of people think 5 to 10% or maybe 20% of all people and nations are bad. So does it make me a nutcase just because I'm considering the figure is more like 90%?

Because it is fun. When someone creates a poll thread there is a check box to allow voters to select multiple answers. It is not checked by default. Norse checked this box. He should not have done this. It allows assholes like me to fuck around more than usual.

Well I figured there would be those forumers who have so much hope for Israel even if they are ashamed of some Israeli actions that they might vote yes instead of any other options. So I figured I would allow them to vote for both yes and purgatory.

Fair enough, a delightfully anarchic answer.

Only problem is that your action completely invalidates the poll. Why not simply say that the question was poorly constructed?

Perhaps a nine-point scale would have been better; along the lines of:

"Where on the following scale does your attitude to current Israeli foreign policy most often reside?"


1(Israeli policy is a model of ethical restraint)---------9 (their policy stinks)

Select a number from 1-9 which most often reflects your view.
