From the NYDN: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/jets-aboushi-unfairly-compared-aaron-hernandez-twitter-article-1.1396764?localLinksEnabled=false An MLB writer feels the need to weigh in the Jets organization, and Oday, and draws a comparison to Hernandez and the Patriots? lol what a fucking joke. The funniest part is the clown (Joe Kaufman) who wrote the original Yahoo garbage about Oday, had to add in the comments section of NYDN that he stands by his Yahoo article as 'accurate'. What the hell has 'journalism' come to? tabloid with a pinch of mandatory Jets bashing apparently.

Yes, and they are wrong. That still doesn't justify Israel's response. Like I said, you don't stoop to their level.
So after ten pages of this stuff this is what I concluded 1- Many long time posters here need to be cut at once for there terrorist ties. 2- One people's terrorist is another people's freedom fighter reference ( Haganah, Irgun, Hamas, PLO) 3- The shear number and diversity of opinions, speak volumes to the fact that this conflict will be ongoing long after many of us are dead and gone. 4- Journalism in this country is a dying profession and many who call themselves journalist are nothing but self serving hacks.
Israel is not targeting civilians. They aren't stooping to their level. They are targeting and killing combatants and there is collateral damage to civilians. That is not equivalent. If Israel wanted to randomly kill as many civilians as they could there wouldn't be a Palestinian left.
If the Palestinian had the capabilities to hit targets,I'm sure they would too. But we only militirize one side in support .
If the Palestinians had made peace when they had the opportunity when Clinton was President perhaps they would have them. Why should we arm Hamas?
I hear the 40s were a real cake walk for the Jews. A Golden Age. Maybe neither side should concede. That's been working out really well for the Palestinians for the past 65 years.
Yeah,its been bad for them because they are on the wrong end of the business deal. We don't support Israel because it is morally right,if that was the case we would lean to the side of the Palestinians. Lets say you own a home. You own it legally. Then one day you find some homeless guy living in 2 of the bedrooms while yo were away for a week. You fight with him back and forth,and finally the law steps in. You can be traced to the house physically and by document,but he says he belongs there because his great great granny used to own it and left it to him. but there is nothing to document that. You would think he would get legally booted right? But wait,they take HIS side and offer you a peace deal where he only gets one room. Well,you would then know what if feels like to be a Palestinian.
Just like before Nazi Germany it was a real cakewalk for the Germans. So because of Nazi Germany,everyone should step aside and let them get away whatever for eternity? You can't throw that around everywhere to support your cause. I could post a long list of Jewish led terrorism against the Palestinains after world war 2 if you want,or you could look it up yourself.
That is the most insanely stupid analogy I have ever read, and the fact that I wasted 20 seconds reading it is something I will never fully forgive myself for. I'm going to go ahead and wait for adults with an actual, intellectual understanding of this conflict to chip in. Based on your posts, you have demonstrated that you know little or nothing about American politics, Israel, Palestine, and the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But naturally, you have a strong opinion on the subject.
Because it was a fair and balanced deal. Because their walking away from a balanced deal coupled with more attacks on civilians have left them with far less to bargain with and a much tougher government to deal with. Why? Peace and opportunity is why? They rejected both.
So because I do not see it your way,Fox,Cnn or any other agenda drivin way,i know nothing about it? Huh. You have done nothing but come in here and tell me how much I don't know about everything,so please,school me on the subject.
Maybe so,but in their eyes they see it that they shouldn't have to give up and concede on what they see stolen from them. It was a one sided deal written up by who robbed them. In the end is a 2 state solution the only way? yes. But I understand their stance
No. Because you think the most complicated regional conflict of the past century is comparable to a homeless squatter and his great grandmother, you know nothing. You do both sides a disservice when you issue opinions with such a shallow understanding of the conflict.
If they see it that way then clearly they don't want peace or a two state solution. I don't support that position nor do I think it justifies acts of violence on civilians. The one State solution that you see as justified isn't based on any fact of ownership or actual law. It's simply a position that justifies Israel's continued occupation.
