A message from a Lebanese journalist .....

This man, if he even is Lebanese, opposes and ridicules every single democratically elected leader in his country in preference to foreign invaders. Obviously he would prefer a totalitarian state, just with people who think like him running it.

Oh please, stop the non-sense ..... your eagerness to smear Israel's reputation is blackening your outlook in a way that is unbelievable and at the same time so immensely sad ....

That is pure 'jama', no1.

Although there are black and whites as with every country in the world,
the adjectives you are using speak of a passionate hate rather than a
cold, rationale criticism of a country's policies.

I do speak French (although far from perfecly). I wanted Ivanhoe to translate it.

Curse you!

If Israel has any reputation left after a half century of violating international law, brutally repressing people and engaging in aggressive war at the drop of a hat, it is beyond my power to "smear" it.

And you, as usual, fail to address the main point; that "Behe" attacks the elected leaders of his own country to praise his country's invaders. There's a word for people who do that.

Your stubborn insistence on holding on to your ignorance and your refusal to inform yourself, ignoring the post where I gave my comment regarding the issue you raised, is becoming ridiculous and even irritating.

Is anybody going to discuss the issues or is everything from the pro-Israel side going to be a personal comment?

Mate, how can a rational discussion take place if every time
I drop by you are using passional adjectives instead of
arguments.

I've never engaged with you in a debate, mate, so believe me
I am telling you this cold and without any passion, hatred, philia
or phobia.

Purely my opinion for one person from whom I've read good
constructed argument (ev ...[text shortened]... ferent
opinion than you)... except when you get excited and throw
adjectives here and there.

I don't care about your opinion of me and if you've never engaged in debate with me and apparently have no wish to now, why are you posting in the thread with such off-topic drivel?

Then how would you call yourself, marauder ? Since you yourself are constantly attacking the elected leaders of your country and at the same time you are protecting and apologising the fascist totalitarian organisations and countries who oppose your country and are stating wanting to destroy it. Doesn't this make you a traitor according to your own definition ?

What post was that? The one in a language I don't speak?

Because even though I am like-minded with ivanhoe (particularly
on this issue) it makes me really sad how he mops the floor with
you as soon as you start getting melodramatic.

Anyway, it was just a friendly advise, really. But you do as you wish.

Well, if you would translate this post, I think it would also help in the right direction ... although one never knows in your case.

It shouln't be too difficult to find the post to which I was referring.

Hint: I wrote it after your personal attack on the author's article.
