"The Jews killed Arafat!"

I agree. But who funds the institute?

We fund 90% of Israel’s military.

And the Palestinians know it.

Is there any wonder why they hate us?

Hell…we gave Israel armored humvees before we gave them to our own troops.

Tinfoil-it’s what’s for hats. :rolleyes:

(stamping my foot with annoyance)

You suspect Arafat, a sickly old man, was POISONED?!?!? Brother Reeder, you have become an embarassment to those of us who are merely paranoid. What possible motivation could there have been to hurry along what was obviously imminent when the risks of discovery were so great? :mad:

Show me where I said he was poisoned.

Idiot.

You danced around it but left obvious who you were dancing with.

Given what a corrupt, thieving and murderous fuck he was what’s really so bad is that the Palestinians didn’t do it. Arafat should have died at the hands of a suicide bomber.

Personally.

I don’t give a fuck if they did or not. Regardless of what you want to try to pin on me.

Want to know what I really think?

I wish the Israeli government and the Palestinian government would kill each other off and the people of both countries could go on with their lives.

But casting aspersions is wahat you want to do.

Well fuck you asshole.

My gripe is that mine and your tax dollars are used to kill Palestinians.

Is that ok with you?

Well, in that case, we’d finally be killing an actual terrorist with our tax dollars, I would have thought you’d be happy that we finally got it right.

No, asshole, he didn’t claim you “said” he was poisoned, just that you “suspect” so.

BTW, I don’t think I have ever seen such bizarre and twisted logic as in this gem:

And I say to you, dear Reeder, "If you are a genius. And I’m not saying you are. Just if.

I killed Arafat."

Same logic. From a falsehood, anything follows.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

If my country had been taken from me by mandate…

Then I’d be a “terrorist” too.

Wouldn’t you?

Of course you wouldn’t.

Fighting for your country is a bad thing.

(angelic smile) Why, yes it IS, Mr Reeder! Every April 15th I enclose a note asking that every last dime of my taxes be spent on exterminating the Palestinians. :rolleyes:

This is the classic dodge of a conspiracy nut who doesn’t want to be pinned down as actually saying something. This allowed you to suggest an accusation, as you also did when you said

but still hop up and down saying, “Show me where I said Israel poisoned him!” It’s weaseling, pure and simple. It’s really sad when you use methods so cheap and sleazy that you get a person like me, who usually agrees with you, to call you on it.

Nope, freedom fighters don’t target women and children.
Try again.

They didn’t have a country, ‘palestinians’ were mostly Jordanians.
Try again.

Nope, I’d attack military targets and not blow up busses.
Try again.

Deliberately murdering women and children is a bad thing.
Try again.

So the country called Palestine pre 1948 was just a suburb of Jordon?

Give me a fucking break.

Reeder, I think you should take a deep breath for a moment.

Deliberately murdering women and children is a bad thing.
Try again.
Interesting.

King David Hotel.

Look it up.

I’m well aware of the history of the region, Irgun, Hagana, and the Stern Gang.
The fact remains that the Palestinians’ current strategy targets civilians.
Try again.

I am no defender of Arafat.

Of course he was a terrorist.

But why is there only one side of the story on this board?

What??

They didn’t target civilians??
Hell… the attack on the King David Hotel killed 15 Jews.

Nope, it was Transjordan
Try again.

What exactly does the word “current” mean to you?
