Exactly, he supports Palestinian statehood, nothing illegal about that and probably not the worst thing someone on the team supports. We don't go digging into the lives of every player in the league to see what they are involved with. I mean seriously.... Tebow spoke at a church last year in Vegas that the pastor suppotred Joseph Kony... does that mean Tebow supports Joseph Kony? I mean guilt by association right? Is it? I mean some people might view Israel as a terrorist state. I don't but the argument can certainly be made. It might not be right but let's not act like Israel is blameless in all of this either. There are plenty of things you can find online that might link Saul Katz to supporting Israeli aggression. Pretty spot on
I agree with everything but the second to last sentence. It wasn't the media that was successful in making terrorism synonymous with Islam. But that is for another thread. Otherwise, I enjoyed the frankness and truth in your post.
actually i could totally see tebow supporting a christian who thinks god gives him the right to lead... just sayin... anyway, about the article, i dont really think there is much to go on here. the guy is a palestinian supporting his people whom are currently engaged in conflict over what both sides believe to be their religious homelands. now that is not to say there is not a shitload of anti-semitism, and holocaust deniers on the side of the palestinians, but thats the extreme. i agree that sometimes people can be very anti-semitic in the ways they express their opinions about israel as well. people need to realize it is a separate country and not a representation of every jew on the planet. the problem is that this is a state conflict being sensationalized as two religions going at it when the reality is that one state is illegally expanding territory while the little guy is being vilified throughout the world. its just a shame that the little guy is falling victim to this game and allowing the world to view them as muslim extremists rather than a political state who's sovereignty is being violated.
Some how, some way, I just knew the Jets weren't gonna make it thru the off season without some kind of controversy. This team just draws it like Tornadoes in Kansas. With the Jewish and Muslim populations in the greater NY Tristate area, how can you not expect something like this to be both big news AND controversial. Oh well, on to the next big off the field story. These are the Jets we're talking about after all. :breakdance:
> hasn't played a single down > "DIDN'T PAN OUT, DOE!" lol, jews so irate that a Palestinian is getting a chance.
terrorism comes in many forms. There are those that are crushed so much that all they have are primitive ways of attacking,that usually cannot make a dent in a military,so they go after cafes and other public places. Then,there are those that do it with a military making it look conventional,and have a worldwide media to shape it the way they want you to see it. Meanwhile,you don't hear about the thousands of bystanders that that conventional attack killed. Then,there are those who blow up their own cafes and poin t the finger at someone else to justify whatever it is they are going to do next. Stop listening to everything mass media tells you,and start listening to what actual people have to say,and don't disregard it just because of their nationality.
What a load of crap article. Not a single quote from his speech. Speaking against Israel does not make you an extremist terrorist. I'd be willing to bet that the article writer is Jewish and is butt hurt. Jews speak against Palestine all the time, yet when a Muslim dares speak out it's like he's doing the worst thing imaginable. Seriously, who the fuck cares. The dude can speak about whatever the fuck he wants, this is AMERICA. And seriously fuck Israel, I'd jump at a chance to drop a speech at that conference. Israel has bombed schools with innocent children in them and have murdered more innocent people than all acts of Muslim terrorism in the middle east since Israel was "founded". They deserve the criticism, despite American media turning a blind eye to their atrocities and acting like they can do no wrong. Pure bias.
Funny I was under the impression that we lived in America, where we tolerate all viewpoints. Maybe you should move to a country that is intolerant to certain groups, that seems to be what you want. Nah, man I forgot 9/11, didn't realize that was done by Palestine. 9/11 is a complete red herring, stop trying to appeal to people's emotions. It has nothing to do the Israel / Palestine conflict. LOL
There's a difference between being pro-Palestinian and being anti-Israeli. The best thing that could happen for Israel is that the Palestinian movement makes a big move in the direction of being pro-Palestinian. I'd need to see the speeches at the conference to know whether or not they were pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli. There's a big difference between the two positions. It damages Israel badly when they are perceived to be sitting on the underdog. The best way to alleviate that damage is for the Palestinians to become seen and to see themselves as something other than the underdog. A pro-Palestinian American business conference is one of the few ways that this can happen right now given the realities in play.
Didn't Tebow asoociate himself with fundamentalist Christians who are intolerant of homosexuality and actively speak against it? That must mean Tebow hates all homosexuals, right? Don't judge somebody because he speaks at an event. That doesn't mean he's planning terrorist acts or that he's friends with people who do. It's terrible specious logic. Words do not hurt or cause suffering to others.
leave him alone byz, he made 2 consecutive posts without bashing mark or rex. his brain is taxed at this point
You don't have to research it. The link to it is in the Frontpage article itself. Just go there and click it with your mouse. The conference says itself that the guy is from the PFLP. They were proud of that fact.
Question, is there a difference in your mind to being Jewishly emotional over Palestine and being Jewishly emotional over Hitler and Hamas? What about Americanly emotional over people stomping on the American flag?
The article doesn't mention the religion of Islam. It discusses Aboushi speaking at an event run by a group associated with hate and terror. No mention of Islam. Most people would consider the groups Hamas and PFLP as terrorist groups. The US govt definitely does.
This blog seems to be a right wing propagandist magazine whose front page articles appear to be anti-Muslim, anti-black, anti-Latino, and anti-everything that isn't right (and white) wing. This is a magazine that has named Glenn Beck its "Man of the Year" in the past. And these articles have offered extremely little substance in terms of things Aboushi has said that are blatantly anti-Israel. I don't care if he's pro-Palestine, like Br4dw4y said. He's from Palestine, what do you expect? There's a reason no mainstream newspapers or magazines have picked this up: as of now, it's a non-story. This is just a conservative news magazine fear mongering like it does in most of its other articles on its front page.
Again, someone complaining about Palestinians is NOT the same as someone attending an event run by a group associated with terror and hate. Anyone who believes that the two are the same is a very ignorant individual. People have the right to believe what they want about Israel, but those who view Israel as a terrorist state usually fall into one of two categories: they are Islamists or they are white supremacists. The vast majority of Americans support Israel understanding the country is the only democracy in the dangerous Middle East.
