Israel Plans to Restore Death Penalty for Everyone but Jews

[mrswdk]

In 2013 the US had the highest incarceration rate in the world

lol. The USA locks up 3-4 times as many people as China. 'Chinese government so controlling and oppressive.'

Here, I'll even make it easy for you. The first link says that in 2013, 39 people were executed in the US. The second says that in 2013, 2400 people were executed in China, possibly much more due to the fact that China doesn't even fucking talk about everyone they execute.

Yeah, we have the death penalty, but the number of people we kill is a rounding error compared to the number you kill (even after adjusting for population size).

(For future reference, my comment was not intended to say that we don't have the death penalty in the US; it was intended to say that we kill people here for committing crimes, not for having the wrong political opinions. I can see now that it was unclear that I was trying to make that point. But the opportunity you gave me was much more fun than that.)

You two take your China arguing and get your own thread.

>Mets says 'It sure is refreshing to live in a country that doesn't execute people who don't fit the government rules about how to live.'
>Mets remembers that the government of the country he lives in does, in fact, execute people who behave in ways they don't want them to
>Mets gets embarrassed and starts flustering

Get your Israel bullhonkey out of this Iraq thread.

This isn't about Iraq.

This is about "Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert"

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert (Waters)

"Oi...Get your filthy hands off my desert!"
"What 'e say?"

Brezhnev took Afghanistan.
Begin took Beirut.
Galtieri took the Union Jack.
And Maggie, over lunch one day,
Took a cruiser with all hands.
Apparently, to make him give it back.

The Zionists are at it again! Now they're holding an Irish dance festival in their pretend state and inviting dancing troupes from Ireland to participate. While some have registered, the Irish-Palestinian Solidarity Committee is now demanding they all cancel to show solidarity with the global boycott of Israel.

Ireland has hated Israel since Irish troops were killed by the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Militia during Ireland's intervention in the Lebanese Civil War (not unlike when the Israelis attacked the U.S. during the USS Liberty war crime). It did not establish diplomatic relations with the imaginary state of Israel until 1993 and has prohibited the U.S. from trans-shipping arms to Israel through Irish ports. So, hopefully the Zionists' lame attempt at having a folk dance festival with fall flat on its face to Israel's continued embarrassment.

Great speech by Irish rugby star Trevor Hogan during last year's blockade of the Israeli embassy in Dublin where 10,000 people called for Ireland to cut diplomatic relations with imaginary nations like Narnia, Mordor, and Israel.



The whole world is united in their opposition to the make-believe state!

Philosophical question of the day: why is Israel any more of a fictitious state than the United States?

Still waiting for you to point out the objective cosmic law that grants more legitimacy to a nation than merely the collective recognition of other nations.

Huh? States are social concepts, not physical objects. They only exist in the minds of humans, not in the physical world. Physical laws aren't used to describe things not of the physical world.

So if you're announcing to us you're not a human, that you're actually the element Tantalum, then you're right, you don't need to worry about this at all, ol' number 73.

Indeed. Precisely. So please, go on and on about how some states are less fictitious than others. It is enlightening.

Mixing and matching Star Wars and Star Trek analogies is low-class. Step up your game.

Excellent news! A newly released UN report finds foreign direct investment in Israel plummeted by 50% in the last year, pushing the non-existent "state" into a worsening crisis of viability.

http://unctad.org/sections/dite_dir/doc ... _il_en.pdf

The drop has been credited to the tightening international boycott against the imaginary state.

"We believe that what led to the drop in investment in Israel are Operation Protective Edge and the boycotts Israel is facing," Dr.
Roni Manos of the College of Management and one of the authors of the report's summary told Ynet.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340 ... 09,00.html

The day Israel can't afford to buy bullets is the day before this mess gets resolved.

Is there pictures of Dr Roni Manos. Could be short for Veronica, might be hot like Roni Lind.

Even Michael Oren, Israel's chief spy against America, now agrees that its military may be rendered impotent by the worsening boycott ...

Right now Israel spends less on the struggle against BDS– boycott divestment sanctions, the effort to delegitimize Israel in the world– spends less on that effort than it spends on a platoon of tanks or on a single F15 plane, and yet if we are delegitimized, denied the right to defend ourselves, the tanks won’t be able to move and the plane wont be able to take off.

That's the idea, Oren!

The five-ship Freedom Flotilla III has departed Greece in another attempt to run the Israeli blockade of Gaza and bring basic medicine and other necessities to the Palestinian people, whose supplies are dwindling after 8 years of Israeli siege. Naval blockades of sovereign states are illegal under international law and the State of Palestine is recognized by 135 (70%) of the world's states. The last two Freedom Flotillas were stopped and boarded by the Israeli navy, in flagrant violation of the law of the sea.



This year's flotilla will include Moncef Marzouk (ex-president of Tunisia), Basel Ghattas (member of the imaginary Israeli parliament), Joe Meadors (U.S. Navy veteran who barely survived the treacherous Israeli attack on the unarmed USS Liberty), and others. Go Freedom Flotilla!

[Dukasaur]

Gabon, are you daft?

What did nazi Germany do to the Jews to identify them?

Yes, that's right, they put a symbol on them. Then they were easily identified. Why did they do that? Because they hated anyone that is different. They also did it to the Roma and homosexuals.

Do you fail to see the irony here?

Track and field athletes at the Olympics have to wear numbers on their back to identify them.
International Olympic Committee = Nazi Germany

Taxis in most cities have to carry medallions to identify them.
Municipal Licensing Commission = Nazi Germany.

Cakes at the Elkhart 4-H County Fair have to have tags on them identifying their category.
4-H Club = Nazi Germany


NotYou2, you are on a toboggan rushing down False Analogy Mountain and you're going to crash into the base!

Yeah yeah, I'm sure that is the point of their mission. I think they're just fleeing the disaster that is Greece.

Bollocks.

GREAT NEWS!

By a vote of 528-124, the General Synod of the United Church of Christ has just voted to initiate an unrestricted boycott against "Israel." The UCC has now joined the Presbyterian Church and the Methodist Church in helping tie the noose around the Zionist neck.

Under the terms of Resolution #4, both the UCC's United Church Funds and Cornerstone Fund, which collectively manage US$1 billion in assets, are to have 90 days to dump Israeli stocks and to terminate investments in any other companies doing business in "Israel." The ministers of the Church of Christ are encouraged to evangelize the one million American members of their congregations to individually divest from "Israel."

Official statement:

"As disciples of Jesus, we hear and seek to heed his call to be peacemakers, responding to violence with nonviolence and extending love to all," said Rev. John Deckenback, Conference Minister of the Central Atlantic Conference of the UCC, which submitted the resolution to the synod. "It is in that spirit, and a desire to support Palestinians in their struggle for freedom, that the United Church of Christ has passed this resolution.”

http://www.uccpin.org/#!pressrelease/c1a36

The so-called "Anti-Defamation League" (a rabid pro-Israel hate group) is already denouncing the UCC as anti-Semitic (officially they're "troubled and dismayed") but their boy-who-cried-wolfism has rendered that label totally impotent.

Next up ... the Episcopalian Church later this summer.
