[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might be ridiculous but then again, what do you know about being a country that was under Israeli siege for decades.[/quote]
Um, this is the Olympics where you leave politics at home. If you can't deal, go home.

In history, Lebanese are not the only ones that have been occupied. There are many others at the Olympics. But thank goodness that they don't act this way. Childish.

Thank you. I've been disgusted by how quickly the liberals on this board have turned some nasty behavior by the Lebanese into an indictment against Israel. [/quote]

The verb you're looking for is 'spew'. Doesn't matter the context - any situation is a pretext to spew.[/quote]
Yes....I've used "spew" before. Great word - and on target.

And for the liberals who think there is no correlation between being anti-Israel and the rise in antisemtisim (and who are willing to take a look at themselves), the following article, "The New Antisemitism," by Natan Sharansky might be of interest. (And to tie this in with another thread running concurrently, it is not PC to criticize Jews but it is PC to criticize Israel. It's a handy outlet for antisemites to spew their bigotry.)

Sharansky is a proponent of settlements in the West Bank. As a government minister, he led settlement expansion and the seizure of property from Palestinians. Clearly, someone with such view will not welcome criticism of Israeli.

I'm sorry, I will criticize the construction of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. If you consider that to be anti-Semitic, then I am sorry that you have reduced the term to meaninglessness. But, your labels will not stop my criticism.
