"Go Stand Next to That Bomb. Don't Worry - It's Perfectly Safe."

[Jocko]

So, back to square one.

Teacher: Alright, I want you to tell me what happened here.

Student #1: He did it first!

Student #2: No, HE did it first!

Student #1: No, I didn't you started it!

Student #2: Well I was here before you and you came along and made trouble!

Student #1: . . . . . . . . .

I don't know which makes me more nauseous, this grotesque facade of moral equivalency, or the fact that it's designed to hide your otherwise glaring anti-Israel bias.

You have clearly decided which student is responsible, because you choose to ignore the previous actions of the other. Portraying it as parity by bickering is a disgustingly small fig leaf that cannot hope to hid your naked agenda.

Apologist.

GET THEE BEHIND ME, JOCKO!

You've yet to meet my challenge that you show where I've given anything but empathy to innocent people of all cultures, nationalities or religions in that area.

You refuse to see that I HAD to stop writing somewhere and only a fanatic like yourself would take offense that I stopped my little imaginary conversation with Student #1. My point was to illustrate how childish this entire argument has become, but I think you may have just exemplified that better than I ever could.

I take it you agreed with Dan Quayle's aversion regarding Murphy Brown deciding to become a single-mother to a fictitious child in a fictitious TV comedy series?

You're one to talk - one of your JREF friends patterns his survival philosophies on the notion that terrorist are trying to kill him and he can point to a paranoid character in an anti-war fiction novel to prove it - YOU make assertions that claim I'm biased against Israel and the Jewish people, but can't support it, AND

you complain about the way I ended a imaginary conversation between a teacher and two students and suggest that it proves I blame/hate/want the total destruction of the Israeli people and Jews everywhere and I'M suffering from cognitive dissonance?

What a goof!

Not his first one. Not even the first one in the last 24 hours. Like Bluto ("Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?") Blutarsky, he's on a roll.

You're all worthless and weak! Now drop and give me twenty!

Do girly push-ups count? Otherwise some of us might only be able to squeeze off four.

On a roll nothing, looks more like a cocaine bender to me. Seriously, he's all over the map over the last day or two. I wonder if he's even caught a wink of sleep in that time. Paranoia creeps in, the tone gets a little more shrill... yeah, I haven't seen the like since college. Sad, really.

 

[Dr Adequate]

Funny how that's where the chain of blame always ends for you, demon, et al.

How about adding one more link in that chain: the Hezbollah terrorists who fomented the air strike that PUT THE BOMB THERE?

* waits for Mycroft to explain to Jocko how this statement proves him to be anti-Semitic; or a cold day in Hell *

How do you know I'm not bipolar and in my manic stage? Would you care? I doubt it, pulling the wings off flies and making fun of mentally ill people is something I could EASILY picture you doing.

 

[casebro]

From my reading of the article in question, it isn't at all clear that the BBC crew were the ones responsible for the boy standing near the bomb. I'm not really sure what this thread is trying to acheive, on either 'side'.

OOI:

"There is a hole in the roof with exactly the same profile as the shell itself, like when a cartoon character runs through a wall. The tailfin - complete with skull-and-crossbones marking - still lies on the roof next to the hole where it broke off. "

Bombs fly like bullets- pointy end forward. It's what the tail fins do. Yes, the tailfins would break off, but the hole in the roof ought to be round, or if dropped frm a very low altitude, oval. And, a bomb that didn't explode would be embedded vertically in the floor. For a bomb to remain horizontal, it would need to spin, like a rifle bullet shot out of a rifled barrel. 30 caliber rifle bullets do 220,000 rpms. Bombs do not.

This bomb pic is as posed as the Israeli battery/cluster bomb was.

I also believe that cluster bombs have a timer in them that inactivates the bomb as time passes. They are not airdropped land mines.

Sorry if you find the truth so "cruel," but then I should've guessed by your virtually allergic reaction to it so far. If you need a refill, I suggest you spend more time at Walgreens and less time making up excuses for terrorists.

Whatever issues you have, you're still wrong and they don't excuse you any more than a kid POSED IN FRONT OF A BOMB excuses Hezbollah.

 

[a_unique_person]

No, no, it's all the Jooooooooz.

You are disgusting.

You're pretty good at slinging poop, aren't ya? You know if you keep doing that, you're going to get it all over yourself. It's always funny when you guys turn to the insults, it shows you, like Bush and "stay the path, and the rationale to kill yet more people in the middle-east in business as usual, have nothing else to say.

And again, I challenge you to find anything that proves I'm against Israel or the Jewish people or that I make excuses for terrorists. Go ahead tough guy, try it!

 

[BPSCG]

You are disgusting.

Thanks - you're back in my sig line! Had to bump Dr Adequate to get you in; hope he doesn't mind...

Of course, there won't be any context or explanation, making your quote a misrepresentation, ie, a lie. Typical.

Well, I, for one, am a bit tipsy this evening. Bourbon is so nice.

Do I have a point? Oh, no. Sorry.

Just thought I'd say "hi".

Well, at least he supplied the link to it.

 

[peptoabysmal]

From the link supplied in the OP:

...
During the fighting, Hezbollah fighters blew a hole through a wall on the ground floor with a rocket-propelled grenade, while the top floor was hit by Israel's aerial bombing.

"Our boys came into the building at the ground floor and attacked them from below," Mr Dabaja says proudly. When I ask what he thinks of the government's attempts to wrest control of this area from Hezbollah, in line with the UN ceasefire resolution, he is adamant.

"Of course we want help from the government, but not the Lebanese army - if it wasn't for the resistance, Bint Jbeil would still be under occupation."
...
One of those returning, a 75-year-old who has come back from Tyre to check on his house, admits this was one of the most important assets for the "resistance" - high ground that offers a line of fire over a large swathe of northern Israel.
...

Sounds like war to me.
