I have never done that; however, I will keep that in mind.

I didn't mean to imply that you did, however, if you look up thread, you'll see it used that way.

Israel does not want the WB. They don't want Gaza either. Problem is, neither do Egypt and Jordan. Israel tried to give it back. It didn't work. So now those to territories are in a no-mans land. Gaza is ruled by Hamas, Israel has totally withdrawn. The WB is a bit more fluid, usually more stable. It may be controlled and secured to a large extent by Israel, but it is not part of Israel. The reason Israel can'y justy declae a border is that while some settlements are deep inside the WB, a lot are just by the border. The Green line does not work. It will require a lot of give and take. Jerusalem is an issue, but so is Hebron.

The Two State Solution, is worthless, it is impossible to have two nations live peacefully side by side when one is dominated by a terrorist organization whose charter demands the destruction of Israel. The Israelis have tried everything short of mass suicide to gain peace, and yet, nothing is ever good enough.

Quotable line there.

In my book, when you use the word Zionist, as if it is a slur, that crosses the line.

I said Zionistic and as I understand it it describes the ultra right faction of the political spectrum who also support the settlement politics.


never knew it was a slur.

 

[Twin Fist]

it very much IS a slur gran

 

[granfire]

Well one never ceases to learn.

 

[Blade96]

I don't even really know what a 'zionist' is.

 

[Touch Of Death]

it very much IS a slur gran

No it isn't. It can be meant as a slur but, it most surly is not a slur. Get a flippin' clue. Thank you.

I hope you don't learn yourself too much from Twin Fist. Zionists are proud to be Zionists.

It is usually used not so much as a slur, but as a word instead of 'Jews' in a pegorative context.

A Zionist is a Jew who wishes the establishment and continued existence of the State of Israel. I'm a Zionist, and hardly a right-wing settler.

Then I shall extend my apologies to you should I have insulted you.

Do you have this phrase hot keyed or something? You use it a lot (and usually on something benign, too)

Ok, thanks.

[granfire]

To be ignorant of alternate meanings of terms?

 

[Touch Of Death]

Was it the use of the term flippin'? I was just wondering.
