News From Antiwar.com : US Sold Phosphorus Shells to Israel

Wed, 17 Jun 2015 01:46:50 +0000

Israel did not use WP as a weapon, therefore, its use in a civilian area was legal. Israel is not a party to Protocol 3, therefore, it does not apply.

Hitler went from nobody to somebody to dead in 12 years. Israel has been swimming around for 65. I think your little comparison is breaking down there.

Justin is a deranged, lying lunatic as always. He cites a 2003 poll as "recent", not to mention it being a fallacy. He asserts that Israel must have known that they were boys without any evidence to that end. If Israel is so murderous and sadistic, why have only 200 died, mostly men? In Iraq today, 90 Arabs were killed by ISIS. In Syria, over 2000 people have been killed each day since the civil war there started. This is the same old blood libel against Jews.

Antiwar.com Original Articles : Defeat the Israel Lobby

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:48:50 +0000

This article is so filled with delusion and hatred, that it besmirches and stains a lot of the otherwise good work on this site. There may be an Israel lobby. It may in fact be controlled by American Imperial interests using Israel as a tool to control the Middle East for oil purposes and general domination. It also serves to get the Christians on board with the Imperials. There is in fact a much larger Arab-oil lobby that has Israel outclassed and would have Israel cast aside if it felt it important to American Imperial domination. This is why the US government repeatedly attacks and opposes Israels right to self-govern and self-administer. This is why the US government tacitly supported regimes hostile to Israel for decades, and even now currently supports regime instability in Syria and elsewhere, something Israel does not like. The American Empire clearly supports the Sunnis in Syria. Israel has been accused of supporting both sides by the opposite side, but all it has done is urge peace and open the borders to hundreds of victims seeking medical attention. What an evil regime, that Israel. Whatever you think should be done to spies, it is a very clear fact that Pollard has been kept illegally beyond his term and his term was disproportionate to the terms of worse spies. Not to mention that allied spying has been common for centuries and the US no doubt does it to Israel regularly, along with others. Wasnt there an Australian passport ring broken up a few years ago? If you have such a hatred of Pollard, there can be only one explanation: you hate Jews. Finally, the idea that Israel would collapse without American support is just plain ignorant. Israel went nearly three decades without US support, and was originally feared to be a Soviet satellite (and was for a few years). If the US cut $3-4 billion in aid it gives annually, Israel would certainly be hurt a bit at first, but it would make economic adjustments and probably be forced to embrace capitalism a bit more, cutting welfare, and liberalizing regulations. This also ignores the probability that China, and perhaps Russia, would step right up with an equal or larger check. Remember how you Jew haters consider Jews sell outs? Well, whether true or not, all humans sell, especially when they need to. Israel has a lot of knowledge, domestic and American that China would love to buy. Justin Raimondo is actually a great piece of proof showing what an antisemite is vs isnt. He and Ron Paul agree on a lot of foreign policy, if not almost completely. But only one mentions Israel, the Jewish state, in every other sentence. That, for me, is the clear test of antisemitism. If you can talk for awhile without mentioning Jews or Israel, you arent an antisemite. If you cant do that, and portray either or both in a negative light, you simply hate Jews.

News From Antiwar.com : Aleppo Kurds Fear al-Qaeda Will Take Their Towns

Wed, 15 Jan 2014 00:54:11 +0000

Maybe if AntiWar and other groups had cared about an actual distinct nation like the 25 million Kurds who have no international support, rather than supporting the Arab terrorist groups that besiege Israel with their lies, propaganda, and violence, this would not be an issue. An independent Kurdistan would be a very stable and moderating force, unlike the tribalistic and non-nation Arabs located around Israel.

Well they make the mistake that many GMO proponents make, thinking that GMO is akin to breeding. It isnt. Its more like having sex vs. eating a sandwich. But even if they were comparable, he is right. IP was a false concept created in the latter centuries by special interests. Its a regulation, not a property right.

Good article, if a bit complexly written. The only problem is it makes the same common error of many GMO proponents. Genetic modification is COMPLETELY different from selective breeding, and thats the main issue. GMOs take different DNAs from different frameworks, based on assumptions of what a gene does, and combine them. Whereas breeding works within the framework of nature and what genes actually work together naturally. The thing GMOs are probably closest to are the concept of a mule, but even that is a bit of a stretch.

The actions of Israel providing humanitarian aid locally and across the world and innovating to promote cooperation and peace speak to the contrary. If the Arabs stopped being racist, there would be even more positive results.

I agree 100% with the premise and content of the article. The only problem is that anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron. Anarchy is a socialist state of all against all, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. It is pure chaos. Stateless Capitalism still maintains law and order. Anarchy opposes this. Stop trying to be edgy and cool by applying a slanted A tattoo to your arm.

The issue with this is that it takes the mindset of the 12th century where people didnt know each other and didnt care if a duchy on the other side of the river was conquered. Nowadays, I know people in Israel, Uganda, Canada, Europe, Ohio, California, the Carolinas, New Hampshire, and Id help defend all of them. Not to mention, no one would think to attack them in the first place. We know about the whole world and all the cultures and communities that exist. They didnt. A stateless society would look exactly like the present world, except with no government. There would be various security services and fire departments and such running around serving people, and you wouldnt think more of Jones Security driving by than you do of a Coca Cola truck.

Prison wouldnt exist in a free society. Its a contradiction. Fraudsters would -imply have to pay back their debts or settle them,and would never be trusted again.

If a country is export focused like China, take advantage of their obsession with giving you physical goods for your paper currency.
