Fair point. If we stopped responding to Whodey, Eladar, Wajoma, Fishface and a few others, we would have to engage in more challenging activities. But they would be left to infest our forum with their bigotry. Are you really saying we should abandon this public space to the bigots?
Still, it is tempting and maybe that is where I will go. depends on my mood.

What exactly has the UN done to Israel?
Your usual hysterical ranting and raving doesn't change the fact that Israel is a serial violator of human rights and many UN Security Council resolutions yet no sanction has ever been applied against it. So your boo-hooing about how badly poor lil Israel has been treated there is just more BS.

If no one takes it seriously, why do right wingers feel the need to bash it for criticizing Israel for blatant violations of human rights?
The three resolutions that are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unfair to Israel do the following:
Reaffirm the Right of the Palestinian People to Self-Determination
http://blog.unwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/L.32.pdf
Condemns the continued building of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories which has been the subject of numerous Security Council resolutions and was found by the International Court of Justice to have been established in violation of international law;

Condemns a myriad of Israeli violations of human rights while "10. Also condemns the firing of rockets against Israeli civilian areas resulting in
loss of life and injury;"
http://blog.unwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/L.34.pdf
All these resolutions are perfectly consistent with many prior resolutions of the UN Security Council, decisions of the International Court of Justice and well established international law. Apparently the only two countries in the world who have a problem with these resolutions is the US and Israel.

Originally posted by normbenignIsrael can do whatever it wants and people in the US don't care. Most "leftists" in the US support Israel just as hook, line and sinker as most right wingers do.

Originally posted by normbenignInteresting. So you would consider whodey, who evidently cares about what "the UN" thinks, to be a "western leftist"?

Under the Obama administration, the US media went from around 20th in the world, in terms of freedom of the press, to the mid 40's range.
The drones will do as the media tells them to do.

Originally posted by normbenignInformed viewpoints expressing different opinions validly derived from different perspectives all make sense and add to the quality of debate.
Absolute sincerity, based on the fact that it is important to get a variety of viewpoints. Even MSNBC has some value.
Misinformation, intentional distortion and confusion of issues, evident plain ignorance and stupidity, do not enhance any debate but virtually destroy the potential for a productive discussion.
Fox News is to political discourse what piss is to drinking water and that is their very objective. We end up with the Wajoma philosophy that everyone has the right to waste our time with their opinion on any topic at all and that any opinion is just an opinion and nobody can make progress.
