However, I do remember seeing some people wearing T-shirts in honour of him.

In fact, what did you mean by:

perhaps next time you respond to a request for evidence, you will actually provide some evidence.

perhaps next time you respond to a request for evidence, you will actually provide some evidence.

This is a complete non-sequitur. I asked you what you meant by XYZ and you've answered with something completely irrelevant.

When did you ask me to provide evidence of anything?

Stop playing silly buggers and just correspond like a normal person.

 

[Thunder]

In fact, what did you mean by:

this post by you is in response to a request for evidence by... me.

perhaps next time you respond to such a post, you will simply reply with the evidence that is requested.

and if not...perhaps you should not respond. unless you are simply trolling.

Hamas spreads Nazi CT, the Israelis don't teach their kids about the Nakba and have criminalized memorializing the Nakba in public by organizations.

Its all the same evil.

Are you seriously comparing the Nakba to Nazis forcing large groups of Jews/Russians to march across minefields and shooting them all if a German officer stepped on a landmine?

what makes you think I was comparing the events..and not the denial of them?

ah...you were just making things up.

 

[NWO Sentryman]

you were trying to make moral equivalence between the reactions to the Nakba and the Holocaust.

yes, denying the Armenian Genocide & denying the Nakba..is very similar to denying the Holocaust.

 

[bikerdruid]

..that's a no-brainer.
i'm astonished that people can deny this.

well, its pretty simple.

the Armenian Genocide did not target Jews.

the Nakba did not target Jews.

therefore...its okay to deny them.

see? if its ok for Neo-Zionists to say that we excuse war-crimes not done by Jews...than we can say that they deny genocide & ethnic cleansing if its not done to Jews.

Who in the heck is denying that the Armenian Genocide happened?

 

[bikerdruid]

Who in the heck is denying that the Armenian Genocide happened?

israel, turkey and the united states, for three.

 

[IDB87]

israel, turkey and the united states, for three.

They do not recognize it. That is not the same as denying it.

 

[bikerdruid]

how can you split a hair that thin?

 

[Thunder]

Who in the heck is denying that the Armenian Genocide happened?

the Israeli Knesset refuses to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide.

but for some reason, the nations of the world must recognize the Holocaust or they shall pay a heavy price for their clear bigotry.

 

[Mycroft]

I agree...there are a lot more on the palestinian side....so what?

So...which side needs to do more work to achieve peace?

C'mon, this should be easy. You've just admitted there are a lot more on the Palestinian side. Just take that extra little baby step...

 

[NWO Sentryman]

I think it's because of the fact that the Armenian Genocide took place in peacetime and the Ottomans thought of them as being "in the way", while the Holocaust took place when the Nazis sought to totally rewrite Eurasia according to their twisted worldview with the Jews being their most hated "foe" and deserving only of annihilation.

 

[WildCat]

AFAIK Turkey is the only country which denies it.

Welcome to the Thunder(Iron)Dome

"Residents in Ashkelon reported Thursday seeing Israel's new Iron Dome defense system intercept a Grad rocket fired towards the southern city from the Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses told Ynet they saw the rocket explode in midair and realized that the system had intercepted its first rocket.

Moshe Ben Hemo, a resident of Ashkelon, said, "I was in the street and I heard a strange sound, like someone pushing the gas pedal of a car. Then I saw the rocket fly through the air and explode. Immediately I realized that it was Iron Dome, that's what has been said here."

He added that the rocket alert had not been set off. "The rocket was apparently supposed to explode in Ashkelon. In any case I'm glad the system works," he said.


After hitting a student bus traveling through Shaar Hanegev Regional Council Thursday, critically wounding a 16-year old boy and lightly injuring the driver, terrorists in Gaza fired more than 15 rockets and mortar shells at Israel. No further injuries were reported. "



Israel is to blame.
