Israel is a terrorist state, which has openly committed acts of aggression and violence under international law whether it was attacking a peaceful flotilla delivering aid to Gaza or using passports of UK citizens to carry out kidnappings and assassinations. Barney Frank is just proof that the Israel Firster crap exists on the left side of the political spectrum as much as it does on the right.
Islam is a terrorist cult, which has openly committed acts of aggression and violence under international law whether it was attacking UN aid compound delivering aid to starving children or using nerve gas to wipe out Shi’ites and Kurds. Anarchist is just proof that Islam firster crap exists on the left side of the political spectrum.
I find it best to use pages from antique Qur’ans as toilet paper. The newer Qur’ans need to be aged before used properly.

Oh, really? You ever been to Israel OR any Palestiniang controlled lands to see
dfo
The Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Israel. They are home.
The Ashkenazi who run Israel and Washington DC and NYC are Europeans with no claim of any kind on the land of Palestine.
They are supported by US pols solely due to the power of the American Jewish supporters.
It is simply unacceptable to have a state run by and for Jews. It is worse yet to imagine that there are Muslims living under Jewish governmental authority in the Middle East, instead of the other way around, like it’s intended to be.
It is similarly unacceptable to have flawed people (like Barney Frank) elected by other flawed people to devise imperfect laws when we have already been given perfect law in the Quran. Until the Jews are returned to their proper place, there can be no peace.
But it’s okay to have many Muslim states “run by and for” Muslims? So are you saying that Saudi Arabia and the many other Muslim countries should be eradicated also?? And just what is the Jews’ “proper place”?
[Until the Jews are returned to their proper place, there can be no peace.]
Hey Masri, the drycleaners called. Your brown shirts are ready.
”It is similarly unacceptable to have flawed people (like Barney Frank)
elected by other flawed people to devise imperfect laws when we have
already been given perfect law in the Quran.”
As much as I personally dislike Barney Frank and disagree with many of his political positions, I find it laughable that you would claim that the Quran is the embodiment of legal perfection, given that most countries run under that system are are full of filthy impoverished people who put more effort into devising ways to kill each other than any constructive activities to help their own citizenry.
Nuha Masri, since you are such a believer in the idea that a piece of land can belong to certain religious or racial groups, I suggest that you depart from America, which rightfully belongs to the Native American Indians, so that you are not an illegal settler in this land.
Until Muslims are forced to stop trying to impose their “perfect law” on non-Muslims, there can be no peace.
The “perfect law” in the Quran is no longer perfect since I just used this absurd malarky as toilet paper.
The real name of that zionist group should be tuchus.
And here comes our resident idiot crusty, ready to jump on the jew-bashing bandwagon. We haven’t heard a peep out of you about the Syrian Army killing protesters, or the nutcase in Iran threatening a neighboring country with nuclear obliteration, or people being sentenced to death in Egypt for blasphemy, but the minute the subject of Israel comes you, you’re ready to start bleating with the rest of the anti-semitic chorus. Your hypocrisy is quite apparent for all to see…
The real name of crusty is “dry shit on the tuchus” (which was recently penetrated by one of his fine Islamic friends (guess he couldn’t find a camel).
Matthew,
Wow, what a bunch of propaganda. Saudi Arabia is an Apartheid State (*Worse* than Apartheid). Egyptian Muslims destroy Coptic churchesm their homes and then rape their women. Sudanese Muslims gang-rape adolescent girls and steal food aid from starving children. Pakistani Muslim snipers use Hindus as target practice without recrimination. The petrol-fueled Muslim Lobby controls U.S. foreign policy, and Matthew is a typical Muslim apologist. There is nothing like democracy, freedon or equal rights for non-Muslims in any Muslim dominated country. Islam is a supremacist cult, a cult for Muslims only, and thus not a democracy. That is why the Arab Spring led to nothing more than a different form of dictatorship – this time with a more Islamic bent but still a dictatorship. As a Muslim graduate of Cal, I’m heartened by this video that does not include the frothing-at-the-mouth SJP there to shout it down. Phooey!
Matthew the brown shirt: Hyperbole will get you far. And Karma – your Karma – will get you what you deserve.
Wow, what a bunch of propaganda. Israel is an Apartheid State (*worse* than Apartheid). Israel demolishes Palestinian homes, steals Palestinian land, and build colonies and roads that only Israeli Jewish colonizers are allowed to drive on. The Israel Lobby (google it) controls U.S. foreign policy, and Barney Frank is a typical pro-Israel shrill. There is nothing like democracy, freedom, or equal rights for Palestinians controlled by Israel’s brutal military occupation. Israel is a *racist* democracy, a democracy *for Jews only* and thus *not a democracy*. Palestinian citizens of Israel don’t even get the same *garbage collection services* as Israeli Jews. As a Jewish graduate of Cal, I’m disgusted by this video that does not include any of Cal’s Students for Justice in Palestine members who are critical of Israel’s Apartheid policies, and who are far more numerous than members of the Tikvah propaganda group. Phoooey!
I am also curious; were students involved with Justice in Palestine even allowed in the conference?
Tell you what: when Jews are allowed to have the same rights as Muslims in Egypt, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, we’ll worry about whether your pro-Palestinian group is let in to harass pro-Israel supporters. Until then, spare us the tears…
[Wow, what a bunch of propaganda.]
You’re referring to your own post, right?
The difference between propaganda his post is that one is backed by factual information, not lies…go hit google and look up some of the things he says, because you don’t “know” things in your gut.
I know an apartheid state which has full rights to its Arab citizens and tolerates the treasonous acts of its Arab members of Parliament (Knesset). You clowns make it too easy.
“Israel demolishes Palestinian homes”
You care to elaborate about how and why those “homes” (which serve as cover for tunnels under the Egyptian border used to smuggle drugs, weapons, and terrorists) get demolished, or is context not important when you need to spread the usual anti-Israel propaganda?
Ole Matthew Taylor re-emerges from the sewage drain. Whatsamatta Matthew-still can’t find a job after majoring in that fine field at UCB, “Conflict Resolution?”
When it comes to true apartheid, Matthew, note the treatment of women, gays and dissidents by Arab societies in general and the Palestinians in particular.
Better yet, if you don’t believe me about dissidents, try entering the Palestinian territories wearing a T-Shirt with the Star of David on it and we will count the seconds until you cease to breathe…
