Right! Because we all know that unless the United States had so ruthlessly enriched the Middle East by purchasing as much of that accursed oil as they could, it’d still be in its natural, pristine state… disorganized chaos, nomads on camels, selling off their SECOND most precious commodity… sand!
Hey, no problem. They can come live with me, I’ve got an extra couch.

Hey, there’s nobody at Auschwitz, Dachau or Treblinka. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind moving into the barracks there. Plenty of room for showers and it’ll never get cold.
How does that sound, ccwaterback?
Or perhaps a final solution, hmmn?
Like Homoslavia? 
The situation is so messy and fucked up that I can’t even begin to judge whether the assassination was justified.
Living in that area (as an Israeli or Palestinian)… I can only imagine what that does to one’s psyche.
I’d guess that if the US were undergoing those masses of suicide bombers on home soil, in our malls and day-care centers, we’d be flipping out and killing people with as much or greater fervor as Israel. Justifications would be paper-thin (uhm…) and we’d probably be calling for mucho blood and a live play-by-play on CNN, which would probably spur our attackers on even more. Inertia is the damnedest thing.
That’s just it, nobody wants them around. Aww, poor Jewish people always being persecuted. Don’t you think after all these years, and all the countries they have been tossed out of, there must be a reason why?
Anti-semitism?
Nobody wants them around, eh? Looks like I need to get with the program and divorce my wife, then. Forget about that, do you have any Zyklon B I can borrow? The way you’re talking I’m pretty sure that you do.
I just don’t think we should be putting our asses on the line for this group of people that don’t seem to ever want to have a peaceful existence.
History proves they are going to provoke whoever the are near.
So your wife lives on the West Bank and tosses bombs at her neighbors periodically? I’m talking about people in Israel, not diamond dealers in New York.
Oh, so you only want to keep the good Jews. The ones that take their ass whoopin’ and don’t fight back. And I wish my wife was a New York diamond dealer. But nope, despite the Jew-Zionist conspiracy that runs the country she is but a lowly student with not a penny to her name.
My uncle’s business partner is Jewish and moved to tel Aviv a few years ago. I guess by moving he became one of the evil Jews. Silly me, I thought he just wanted to live in the Jewish homeland in peace. I guess that’s not gonna happen, because everyone in Israel needs to get their trophy raghead to mount on their wall. After all, they’re all murderers, right?
BTW, this thread is truly disgusting. With every post, every stereotype, every anti-Semitic remark you make you reveal more of yourself. How you managed to cork it up for so long is a mystery to me.
So why are they persecuted where ever they go? There must be a reason.
ccwaterback, hate speech is NOT acceptable on the SDMB, in any forum. Do it again and you’ll be banned.
Airman Doors, USAF, use of racial/ethnic slurs, such as “raghead”, is also not acceptable. Don’t do it again.
I’m closing this thread.
