If you're not familiar with the history of the region before 1967, you really know so little about it that you shouldn't comment about it at all.

You could also Google it yourself. But I'll indulge you this time, here you go.

If the Arabs were truly interested in creating a State of Palestine, they had a pretty good opportunity during those years.

when Israel conquered East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in 1967, wise people knew that the world powers would never be comfortable with Israel's victory, that they would never allow Jews to control the world's most holy places. And ever since 1967, the world has been trying to undermine Israel's right to those lands, indeed, to undermine its continuing existence

Consider that things started to go wrong right after Camp David.

How would you feel if after New Jersey fired rockets on Manhattan if the State of New York responded by putting a giant wall along the Hudson River shoreline and cut off access through the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, and GWB?

I'm willing to bet you've never had to take shelter following an air raid siren, and that you have no idea what it is like to have to drop everything you are doing at that moment and run to the designated safe place in the building you are in. Or as you walk down the street, you are looking around at each building or for signs directing you to the nearest shelter so if a siren goes off, you've already decided where to go. Or have an app on your smartphone that tells you where the nearest shelter is and how far you need to run to get there. And that was in Jerusalem. Imagine what life for my cousins in Ashkelon is like.

Israel protects its citizens, the same way you would want your government to if you were in s similar situation.

Actually, I never said that. That's a lie you just made up. I'm not feeling particularly charitable at the moment, so I'll assume it's because you think anybody who doesn't favour genocide against anybody of Arab descent must necessarily demand the destruction of Israel.

Funny thing, that. I remember 9/11 and the fact that the immediate response was to start rounding up anyone of the "wrong" ancestry and suspend basic political freedoms, then implement "security" policies more intended to establish authoritarianism than anything else.

If Israel "protects" its citizens in anywhere near the same way America does, then you have no business defending it.

Israel's security measures and homeland security is far more effective than anything that you've seen in the US. Just compare the security checks at Ben Gurion Airport to the circuses run by the TSA. And if you didn't know each time you walked to the supermarket or got on a bus if you'd come home alive, you'd start to support the Israeli approach to terrorism, too.

I've heard all the anecdotes about how effective Israeli security is— and I've also heard the stories of random people being physically strip-searched and laptops being destroyed on the assumption that they're bombs. Not to mention the IDF soldiers advocating genocide.

When all of America panicked after 9/11, I was one of the relatively few to remain rational (despite being all of 14 at the time) so I'm inclined to think I can tolerate a few risks without rushing to give up basic freedoms in the name of safety. And that's assuming I'm not one of the people in the "wrong" demographic who "have" to be locked up without charges or trial in the name of safety.

No. You posted you were celebrating Passover by eating a bacon cheeseburger on matza to make a point about how you feel about religious rituals.

No. I said I was eating a bacon cheeseburger on a regular bun while thinking about matzoh to indicate how far removed I was from actually intending to observe Passover. I used the word "celebrate" for the irony value. Then you arbitrarily decided that if I used the word "celebrate" it must, necessarily, imply that I was intending to follow the rituals associated with Passover with the goal of conducting a religious ceremony, and intentionally doing so in the "wrong" fashion for the sole purpose of mocking the ceremony and the religion that called for it.

Take a peak at the "Nilogic" thread where a few posters complained I was being irrational for assuming the phrase "I support the verdict" implied the statement "I believe the verdict was correctly rendered on the facts of the case." Because your, erm, unorthodox interpretation of the word "celebrate" is making that look decidedly ironic right now.

You seem to not comprehend what I write. If that was the ONLY day you set up there, it would be a problem. If you did it on a regular basis, it would be fine. See the difference?

You don't seem to comprehend what I write. If the street outside the synagogue has plenty of foot traffic other than the patrons of said synagogue, and I set up on Yom Kippur because it's a holiday and I have the day off, then it's not a problem at all— it's me using what free time I have in the manner in which I choose, and it's none of your business. If you claim it's a "problem" for me to sell food to people who want to buy it simply because you are fasting, then you are the one being offensive.

Israeli security for me doesn't entail being strip searched at the airport because I am not suspicious. People who are suspicious have to jump through more hurdles so to speak before getting on a plane. THIW. I have a close family friend who was strip searched at Ben Gurion Airport the last time she came to visit me on her flight back towards the US. She bought one way tickets from Athens to Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv to Toronto, and Toronto to Washington, because it was cheaper than buying a single round trip from DC to Athens. She was also flying on a brand new passport because her last one, which had the Israeli stamps from her previous visit, was about to expire. She said she was treated respectfully and felt far better about the experience than she does when she goes through TSA checkpoints in the US.

OMG

What intelligent, educated person spouts opinions without knowing a good deal about the subject?

Seems to me you have a problem understanding the context of the situation.

It would be a problem if you called it "Yom Kippur Food Stand," asshole.

I got him confused with Elie Wiesel, who I believe is still alive.

Would you try to argue that I can't denounce a murder unless I was familiar with the lives of both murderer and victim and thus entirely understood the murderer's motive?
