Reply to Buying and Stealing and How Being Jewish Changes Everything in War on Terror Stardock Forums

In my experience when people talk about the land stolen is it the land post-isreal formation that is now controlled by isreal, not the land that was done when isreal was formed. But on a more philosophical point why just because a person of a particular race/reglion bought a peice of land shoudl that give them the right to set up a state on that land? Is there not a big difference between the legal ownership of a peice of land and the state that rules that said land?

Reply to Sea Robbery and Terrorism around Somalia in World Trade Issues Stardock Forums

Kenya does have question marks over its treatment of criminals and other human rights issues. I have no sympathy for anti-semitism or inate distrust with Africans, nor did I compare Hamas to Kenya. I compared calling an anti-Keyans statement racist because it is African to an anti Hamas statment anti-Arab.

Oh sorry forgot to add something, Of course there are hospitals that are below the average of the NHS, there have to be!, and there have been cases where that cost lives. Has that never happened in the US? All parts of the NHS are montiored for the end results for the treaments they provide, eg number who get infections, number who die etc. The hospitials that have worse rates are spotted and investigated in a controlled and systemic fashi

The NHS does not decide who gets treatments, or anything else by looking just at the persons age. There are things that the NHS will not treat in elderly patiants, slow growing prostate cancer is one, but only for clinicial reason. The cancer one is simply that it normally takes years for the slow growing cancer to cause major problem and by that time they would have propably died anyway. They also do not treat because it is not worth it for the person, eg too invasiv

Reply to How to win or lose the "War against Terrorism" in Politics Stardock Forums

Attacks on the USA infrasturcture would have most affect for the lowest costs. In the UK a few years ago a group of striking truckers blockaded oil refinaries and it became public knowedge that the entire UK petrol sources relied on a very few refinaries (3??). Limiting their productivity could criple the UK, and the same could work in the US. I think that both contries only have stocks for 30ish days. The other way would be to blow up local substations.

I agree that if somebody crictises Isreaii, but not other contries that have the same policies that they are at best being 'selective' or anti-semteic. To be honest I had never heard of that wall before! is there not a difference though that the wall is buit on land that has been part of Spain for over 500 years and the people enlcosed wish to be part of Spain while the wall Isreal is building isn't in the pre-67 land and is enclosing people that do not wish to be part of Isreal

Reply to So-called "criticism of Israeli policies" in War on Terror Stardock Forums

Sorry, I think you might be reading somewhat more into my comment than was meant. To me an 'israeli policy' is a policy that Isreal has. An Amercian policy is a policy that Amercia has A British Policy is a policy that Britian has. They all have comment policies in common and policies that differ. There really was nothing else meant by it.

[quote quoting="article"] The same police did not act against the progressive protesters shouting Nazi slogans, despite the fact that doing such is officially legal in Germany while displaying the Star-of-David flag isn't. (Ironically, displaying that flag was, for Jews, officially and specifically allowed even in Nazi-Germany. Jews were not allowed to display the German colours.)

I'll get to the round-up thing later but no farmer in any part of the world has ever been forced to buy terminator seeds. Famers the world over have bought terminator seeds because they chose to. If the third world farmers want to have seeds that they can collect and use next year then they can buy them; monsato has not, nor can not, stop the supply of these seeds. Most farmers buy seeds every year as in the main they use cross-bred seeds to take advantage of

The stuff on roundup is well, not entirely correct. The active chemical, glycosphate, is entirely non-toxic to humans. It blocks an enzyme in the shihomate (spelling off, sorry) biochemical pathway which leads to a subset of amino acids. In human terms they are regared as 'essential amino acids' as it is essential that they are in our diet as we just do not have that biochemical pathway. The chemical blocks a pathway that we just do not have anyway, it simply ca

[quote] It is anti-semitism to question the tactics of the IDF [/quote] Why? How can somebody prove the IDF has done wrong if even questioning their tatics is anti-semtic? The British tactics in Iraq and Afgansatian are being questioned. So are the US ones. It is more a case of 'western' nations get questioned more than 'non-western' nations rather that Isreal gets questioned.
