The Logic Off Topic list

Basharar, I don't think Dennis said this at all, he didn't blame them a bit
and he didn't say they deserved to lose any sympathy.  He said that he fears
what sympathy there was (and there has been some) has been eroded unfairly.

Dennis, You are so wrong its not even funny, what kind of sympathy did the
US have before towards the Palestinians "where they fair in the united
nations voting or the security council where all the world have condemned
Israel but the US? Are you implying that they deserve to be killed by
Israeli occupation forces and that supporting a raciest country blindly is
the right thing to do? If so then that is Sharon's official position,
congratulations. I just don\ufffdt wish for you or anyone close to you to be
under occupation and be shelled with US made weapons every night, don\ufffdt
blame it on the Palestinians they are not occupying anybody's home, blame it
on bad and ignorant politics.
