Hey Zit, what's that name again for a Jew who says nothing after an innocent Jewish girl is murdered in her bed? And says nothing about how Israel should fight against terrorist evil? But only enters a thread when an Israeli rabbi criticizes Obama? And then reenters the thread when another Israeli says something bad about Obama? What's that term again?

Who the fuck said nothing asshole.? I've said a few times it was a reprehensible, disgusting act, as anyone who consistently condemns terrorism, and is sane would, unlike one of your buds who applauds terrorist acts. I'll say it again, so even you will get it, It was a disgusting, horrific act of cowardice, by a sick terrorist. Got it? Why are you asking that Fake Religious hateful racist asshole to come to your defense, and supply you with disgusting words?

President Obama's statement on the death of Elie Wiesel



By WASHINGTON EXAMINER STAFF
7/2/16 6:53 PM




Elie Wiesel was one of the great moral voices of our time, and in many ways, the conscience of the world. Tonight, Michelle and I join people across the United States, Israel and around the globe in mourning the loss and celebrating the life of a truly remarkable human being. Like millions of admirers, I first came to know Elie through his account of the horror he endured during the Holocaust simply because he was Jewish. But I was also honored and deeply humbled to call him a dear friend. I'm especially grateful for all the moments we shared and our talks together, which ranged from the meaning of friendship to our shared commitment to the State of Israel.
Elie was not just the world's most prominent Holocaust survivor, he was a living memorial. After we walked together among the barbed wire and guard towers of Buchenwald where he was held as a teenager and where his father perished, Elie spoke words I've never forgotten — "Memory has become a sacred duty of all people of goodwill." Upholding that sacred duty was the purpose of Elie's life. Along with his beloved wife Marion and the foundation that bears his name, he raised his voice, not just against anti-Semitism, but against hatred, bigotry and intolerance in all its forms. He implored each of us, as nations and as human beings, to do the same, to see ourselves in each other and to make real that pledge of "never again."
At the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum that he helped create, you can see his words-"for the dead and the living, we must bear witness." But Elie did more than just bear witness, he acted. As a writer, a speaker, an activist, and a thinker, he was one of those people who changed the world more as a citizen of the world than those who hold office or traditional positions of power. His life, and the power of his example, urges us to be better. In the face of evil, we must summon our capacity for good. In the face of hate, we must love. In the face of cruelty, we must live with empathy and compassion. We must never be bystanders to injustice or indifferent to suffering. Just imagine the peace and justice that would be possible in our world if we all lived a little more like Elie Wiesel.
At the end of our visit to Buchenwald, Elie said that after all that he and the other survivors had endured, "we had the right to give up on humanity." But he said, "we rejected that possibility ... we said, no, we must continue believing in a future." Tonight, we give thanks that Elie never gave up on humanity and on the progress that is possible when we treat one another with dignity and respect. Our thoughts are with Marion, their son Shlomo Elisha, his stepdaughter Jennifer and his grandchildren whom we thank for sharing Elie with the world. May God bless the memory of Elie Wiesel, and may his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life.

It is a horribly vicious cycle Ric. Hopefully we can see an end to it in our lifetime.

Wiesel often emphasized the Jewish connection to Jerusalem, and has criticized the Obama administration for pressuring Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt East Jerusalem Israeli settlement construction.

He stated that "Jerusalem is above politics. It is mentioned more than six hundred times in Scripture—and not a single time in the Koran....



It belongs to the Jewish people and is much more than a city...

Netanyahu: Iran building ICBMs 'to hit U.S.



“I want to make it clear to you,” Netanyahu continued. “Iran is not building these ICBMs to hit Israel. They already have missiles that can hit Israel everywhere. They are building these ICBMs to hit you. To hit the United States.”


“You are the Great Satan,” he added. “We are just a small Satan.”

Netanyahu referenced a 416-page book titled “Palestine” by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in which Iran’s Supreme Leader called for the destruction of Israel, which he refers to as an ally of “the American Great Satan.”


Netanyahu stressed Khamenei made the declaration “not in a statement” or in a press release but “in a book.”



Continued Netanyahu: “He (Khamenei) says in recent speeches that despite the deal, Iran’s number one enemy is still the United States of America and that Iran’s conflict with America will continue after the deal.”

Once again the hero Netanyahu nails it.

"cycle"

You are a Fucking idiot.

You want to use that old worn out cliche debunked since the net began.

In truth, however, there is no cycle of violence. There is no spiral of attack and counter-attack relentlessly unfolding here.

What we have, rather, on the one hand, is a sovereign nation’s desperate effort to live in its homeland, seek peace with those of its neighbors who will partner it, and defend itself against those who seek its destruction.

And, on the other, we have the forces of militant Islam, firing rockets across Israel’s sovereign borders, murdering Israelis wherever they can be found vulnerable, indoctrinating their people with a vicious intolerance of Jewish historical rights in this region, and simultaneously spreading a perverted interpretation of Islam that purports to require each and every believer to carry out personal jihad in the name of God against the infidels – be they Jews, Christians or unbelieving Muslims.

It's YOU who is the Fucking Idiot, FRINGY. You don't even know what cycle I was talking about, you clueless idiotic Hypocrite. The cycle I was referring to was exactly what Ric bolded that Elie Wiesel stated. The hate that the children that are raised by Israel hating Arabs ingrain into them at an early age, act upon, and then teach their children that same hatred. Over and Over. Like the idiot Drumpf that you stupidly support, you don't even think, you are so consumed with hate, and you just post idiotic stuff without thinking.

Palestinians Won't Cooperate with Israel on Sewage Treatment - Oded Revivi (Times of Israel)
The Oslo Accords required the Palestinian Authority to build a system of wastewater treatment plants to prevent pollution of the groundwater.
The EU transferred funds to the Palestinians for the construction of the wastewater treatment system, but, according to reports in the media, these funds never reached their destination.
A few months ago, as the mayor of Efrat, I approached a number of Arab leaders who live near Efrat and offered to connect their sewage pipes to Efrat's wastewater purification plant.
They returned with a negative response: The extremists told them that "they would not allow Arab wastewater to flow next to Jewish wastewater."

My "go to" move :)
Lame as it ever was. If taking a crap on Israel means I defend Israel's right to defend herself unequivocally, mourn the death of a True Man of Peace, Elie wiesel, and Pray that arab Children in the future in the future are spared the hatred they are infused with towards Jews currently. My go to move, as always. Truth. Yours deception. Cowardice

Spin it any way you want. You burst your enema bag in every pro-Israel thread.

The whole forum has your number, and it ain't very high, 'JillStein Jew'.

I don't have to spin anything FRINGY, I just tell the truth.
Even though I strongly disagree with her Israel Boycott, it's nice to see another Jew running for the POTUS. Funny how you were violently opposed to the 2 Jews running, FRINGY.:think2:
If the sickos in this forum have "my number", and it's low, that's only a good thing for me.
