DISCLAIMER: in my experience, the following doesn't apply to 99% of my readership. Unfortunately, experience also shows it has to be written down for the remaining 1%.
The short version, when it comes to my comments policy, goes down to a line taken from the (mediocre) second opus of the Matrix:
"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.
La version courte, concernant ma politique pour les commentaires, se résume à une ligne tirée du second (médiocre) volet de Matrix:
"J'ai construit cet endroit. Ici, je fais les lois."
Élaborons un brin :
If you need further help with the site, you may want to check the Field Manual. Ultimately, you can also drop me a line. I usually don't answer jellyfish and buttermonkey(1) hybrids however.
Si vous avez besoin de plus d'aide avec le site, jetez un œil au manuel d'instruction. Au pire, vous pouvez également m'envoyer un mot. J'ai cependant tendance à ne pas répondre aux fruits de l'union d'une méduse et d'un cul de singe.

I am an Arab and I somewhat agree with what you put on your website. But, the thing that I hate is that when stuff like this is actually posted on the internet, it makes all Arabs look bad. I do not like the fact that your website WILL make people hate Arabs more. That’s not fair. I do not carry an AK-47 and kill people. Hence, you must also look at why the kids have guns. If the Israeli gov’t didn’t steal land and illegally demolish houses with bulldozers, then you wouldn’t have parents and their kids with guns. What about the American lady that visited Israel and stood in front of the house of an Arab resident that was about to get demolished to stop the Israeli gov’t from running over it? The Israeli gov’t ran over her, an AMERICAN (and they knew it), and the house, and they didn’t get in trouble for it by the U.S. It was talked about briefly in the news and that’s it. NOW, that’s BULLSHIT. You see kids &arents with guns because they are giving a sign saying, they are not going to give up. They are not going to put up with Israel’s bullshit government. It’s not even a gov’t. It’s a dictatorship. Remember, kids only started having guns when Israel started to kill Arabs, steal land, and rename Palestine to Israel (ever since everything started in 1948). Before that, there was peace. By the way, it was Palestine before Israel. If you read up on your history, it was Palestine 2,000 years before the Bible was even created. Yes, Arabs (not all of them) do things that are wrong like bomb buildings, etc. But, you have to ask yourself, what led them to do that? It is because they can’t live their own lives the way they used to. Israel’s gov’t does not care for Arabs and kills them all the time. Israel is stuck so far up U.S.’s ass, that the U.S. only gives them a slap on the wrist no matter what Israel does wrong. If Israel wasn’t soo selfish in 1948 when they wanted to steal Palestine, then none of this shit would have happened. LOOK AT BOTH SIDES OF THE SITUATION!!!! |

“Joe”: I’ll try to make it simple considering that there’s very little substance in your naive (well, I hope it’s naive) diatribe - and I currently have little time to deal with naive diatribes: The quote is from Golda Meir, and I believe she knew what she was talking about. Consequently, I’m not making, as you put it, “all Arabs look bad”: some Arabs make all Arabs look bad (even though the real issue is not so related to Arabs than it is to Muslims.) Those who put guns in the hands of children, explosive belts around their brainwashed youth, those who murder men, women and children simply because they’re Jews or Christians or “too” moderate Muslims, those who murder, rape and oppress other Arabs simply because they took the power by force and keep it the same way, those whose only aim in this life is to take over the world and force their religion upon it. Those who hijack airliners and use them as a weapon to perpetrate mass murder. I’m just observing and waiting for an honest and firm condemnation of these thugs, by official and individuals in the Muslim world. I’m waiting for the people protesting in the streets to stop terrorism and oppression. I’m waiting for the uprising of Arab populations with the intent of toppling their tyrants, moving towards liberal democracy and take their place in the XXIth century as honored, respected and respectful members of the world community. So far, I heard very little adversaries (they exist but their voices get lost) and too many virulent supporters. Draw your own conclusions, but don’t come blaming me for the vision this community (at large) send back to the world. I believe in individual responsibility “Joe”, so here’s something you may want to think about: you come here, feel concerned about the fact that you’re not carrying a gun and killing people and therefore don’t want to be assimilated with terrorists (which is all in your honor. Guess what? I feel the same pertaining to the 25% of the French who wished the victory of Saddam) yet, after this rightful concern you spend the rest of your (long) rant justifying terrorism and child abuses. Now… Who do you think is making Arabs look bad? And what do you think YOU can do? Keep championing terrorism or join me and denounce it unconditionally? Food for thought “Joe”. About this whole Israel/Palestine issue, my thought in a few words: End terrorism. Then we’ll talk. Period. I take it the “American lady” you mention is our silly spiteful friend Corrie. I’m sorry “Joe” but you hit the wrong place if you thought you could impress me with such an argument. Get your facts straight: the Palestinian propaganda has been debunked, this was an accident. I couldn’t say it was a sad accident though. If you want my intimate conviction on this, I’d say the “lady” got what she looked for - and somehow, what she deserved. Period. About history, “Joe” you could use some extra classes. Particularly on the Bible issue. Also, you may want to check this. Could help you a lot:http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/meaning.html Finally - and that’s what sickens me the most, to be honest - you apparently failed to read the content of the post or get the point. Let me summarize: Nothing - I do mean NOTHING AT ALL - justifies dressing a baby in camo and hang up a hand-grenade around his or her neck. Nothing. And THAT’S not something I’m going to argue about or take back. |

Let me rebut the one argument you missed from Joe, DF: Israel is a dictatorship? Hmm. If so, it’s the first one where they hold regular elections, have multiple political parties (including one representing Israeli Arabs), power changes between political parties as a result of these elections, and legislate through a Parliament. Also, it’s the first one that has a free press and a free-market economy. Now, let me count how many Arab countries have any of these. Wait ... I’m still trying to think of one. Oh—wait—one Arab country is having municipal elections. For the first time. Ever. Other than that, a great big goose egg. You want Arabs to have a better image? They need to quit blowing up civilians in shopping centers and buses, and the ones that don’t do that need to quit being apologists for the ones that do. And how about learning a little history, while you’re at it? The Arabs used Palestine as an invasion point against Israel in 1948 and again in 1967. Maybe if they’d just left Israel alone, the Palestinians wouldn’t have the problems they do now. Spouting anti-Semitic slurs and paranoid conspiracuy theories don’t help the Arab public image, either. |
