Emile, you certainly have a biased viewpoint from which you spew your rhetoric. You are an exercise in irony. You claim that 'You Jewish-Amrican (sic) Zionists prove daily that the hate teachings of Talmud are alive and well!". What does the Talmud teach about your own hate and how to manage it and create something productive out of it? Little to nothing if I am to judge by your posting. Maybe that's why the Palestinian suicide bombers you try to justify have no creative solution to their dilemma. Because Allah has prescribed it, in writing, so it must be 'the way', eh? Do you actually believe that the philosophies in the Talmud and Quran are sufficient to enable you and others like you to function effectively in a world that left your culture in the dust centuries ago?! Do you suppose that your tendency to blame everyone else could in some way be hampering your ability to see clearly? I know that many Palestinians are destitute and have little to nothing to lose and so they cling ever tighter to their religious beliefs, but at some point there should be a little bell that goes off in each one's head and alerts them to the fact that religious intolerance and fanaticism to the exclusion of every other belief system has placed you and them in the position you and they find themselves today. At some point you are going to have to stop blaming every bad thing that happens to you on others and accept responsibility for your condition. Only then will you be able to really do something constructive that will help yourself and others. It is decidedly easier to remain ignorant behind the veil of religion, thereby avoiding any meaningful personal growth. What is so amazing to me is the tenacity which you cling to a belief system that is causing you and your people so much pain! You claim that this so-called "Jewish-American response helps the world understand the Zionist mind and Zionist heart--a black hole". A person such as yourself and people such as your brethren, who live in a world of denial about the reality of their condition have a lot of debris in their own backyards that needs to be tended to before they start fixing other people's problems. You spew poison, yet you remain blissfully ignorant of the obstacles to success you are creating for yourself through your steadfast denial. If you really want to help someone, start with yourself. Read about self improvement. Give it some thought. Be prepared because it will force you to question your religious beliefs. But if you are afraid to embrace the possibility that your 2000 year-old belief system is no longer viable, then you are destined to continue blaming everyone else for your miserable life and will see no relief in your lifetime. Let me assure you, wishing death and destruction on others is a sure-fire way to destroy the quality of your own life. The hate teachings of the Talmud would disagree but I contend that they are archaic and have cloistered an entire section of the world in relative obscurity and poverty. Consider revamping your government so that it does not rely on the whimsy of religious clerics for its substance. There's a short list for you to start on. If you embark on this path, you can be sure there are many more things you can improve about yourself and your people. Of course, venturing out on a path of change requires courage. It is clearly easier and less frightening to hide behind a defunct religion and create excuses to justify suicide bombers and obscure the facts about how you came to be where you are so you don't have to take responsibility for your plight.
