Israel popularity 2'nd from last of 197 nations - BBC poll

by crazy_inventor Saturday, Jun. 08, 2013 at 10:19 AM

A new poll commissioned by the BBC was released this week, and it shows again that isra hell is ranked second from the bottom of 197 countries, is considered a danger to world peace, and is just about the world’s most negatively viewed country, and that it's support globally continues to evaporate.

Views of Israel in Canada and in Australia remain very negative with 57 and 69 per cent of their citizens holding unfavorable views. In the EU countries surveyed, views of Israeli influence are all strongly negative with the UK topping the list with 72 per cent of the population viewing Israel negatively.

As Ali Abunimah noted this week, “The persistent association of Israel with the world’s most negatively viewed countries will come as a disappointment to Israeli government and other hasbara officials who have invested millions of dollars in recent years to greenwash and pinkwash Israel as an enlightened, democratic and technological “Western” country.

other clips too

by crazy_inventor Saturday, Jun. 08, 2013 at 10:42 AM

the SQL backend crashed so I checked the front page and saw no newswire entries, then checking again a few minutes later they were back along with this story (good thing, I was going to try re-posting it again)


The summary part I'm airing in heavy rotation with laughing after it :)

followed by the 'Palestine celebrates UN vote recognition" clip

and the other clips:

"exposed - this is how israel controls your media"
"controlled media declassified documents of israel lobby manipulation"

otta' make the attending hasbara agent happy

As was written

by sane worker Saturday, Jun. 08, 2013 at 12:33 PM

Biblical prophecy coming to pass. I would guess that you are not someone who has read the Christian bible, if you were you would know that the world turning against Israel is foretold and is simply a setup for the end times. When Israel was declared a nation in 1948 that was the cornerstone that has brought us to the point where most every nation on earth is turning on Israel. Your seething hatred of the Jewish nation is certainly on display and it puts you on the wrong side of the future. Hate away, I couldn't care less, but at least now you know that you are following God's plan. In that plan Israel will prevail and her enemies will be destroyed to a man. So it is written, so it will be.

so let me get this straight

by crazy_inventor Saturday, Jun. 08, 2013 at 4:27 PM

Bill thinks I'm you, and apparently every other person that comments here.

You think I'm bill.

And I suspect you're bill, but only because you seem to make a concerted effort to imitate him. (to be intentionally confusing)

Either that or he does a bad job of pretending to be you. (again, being intentionally confusing)



No one here posts with a single nic they stick to except me, (because I'm NOT trying to be intentionally confusing) although you seem to use 'laughing man' most of the time, which I suspect is 'smash the left' 'smashy' 'the amplifying happiness reflector'

But the truth is _you're all so much alike_ it's hard to tell any of you apart, like cookie cutter cutouts spewing the exact same billionaire talking points.




Someone I admire laid it all out what drives, what makes, people like you :

(I intended to post this on the onion forum but I'll post it here)

By demanding obedience above all else from a child (whether by physical punishment, by psychological means, or through some combination of both), parents forbid the child from fostering an [b]authentic sense of self.[/b] Because children are completely dependent on their parents, they dare not question their parents' goodness, or their "good intentions."

As a result, when children are punished, even if they are punished for no reason or for a reason that makes no sense, [b]they blame themselves and believe that the fault lies within them.[/b] In addition, the child cannot allow himself to experience fully his own pain, because that, too, might lead to questioning of his parents.

In this manner, the child is prevented from developing a genuine, authentic sense of self. As he grows older, this deadening of his soul [b]desensitizes the child to the pain of others.[/b]

Eventually, the maturing adult will seek to express his repressed anger on external targets, since he has never been allowed to experience and express it in ways that would not be destructive. By such means, the cycle of violence is continued into another generation.

Society's refusal to acknowledge the profound damage that is inflicted on innocent children in innumerable ways, every single day, is the deepest root of most, if not all, of the evils in the world that confront us today.


It is only from a child who was never injured that we can learn entirely new, honest, and truly humane behavior. Such a child does not accept without question the pedagogic reasoning to which we were susceptible. He feels he is entitled to ask questions, to demand explanations, to stand up for himself, and to articulate his needs."



(then he goes on to say how they grow up to become authoritarians, soldiers, prison guards, and other careers where they can abuse the powerless, just as they were. How they indentify and bond with authorities, armies, sports teams and other macho facades, that these institutions are a surrogate for the IMPOTENCE they feel, but don't understand, because they never matured, and most importantly, how any criticism or questioning threatens to put them back in that place where they are helpless and impotent, so they lash out viscously with rage anytime their heros are not fully accepted.)



and another writer adds to it :

"Angry, confused adult-sized children, trapped in an era of declining industrialism, desk jobs, boring consumerism, etc, they seem to hanker for an heroic age, for scenarios in which "real manhood" can be displayed and rewarded ("real manhood" meaning physical strength, violence, ruthlessness, force-and-fraud). They long for worlds in which women are either absent or subordinated (army life, say, or a revanchist male supremacy). This widespread Mittyism can be seen anytime in popular "sword porn" f & sf, in video game content and style,
movies, etc. The massively popular Game of Thrones franchise offers illustrations galore ;-)


Swaggering proponents of nuclear power, dismissive of risk, overbearing in tone, convinced of their heroic mission to Save Us All, are almost always male.

NASCAR-cult mockery of environmentalists as a bunch of sissies, as by neothug groups like the
Sahara Club, stinks of misogyny a mile off.

The politics of male supremacy and entitlement cross all party lines. Misogyny is as omnipresent and unconsidered today as racism was 80 years ago: it permeates thought, word, and deed.

When you challenge male supremacy you challenge the Holy of Holies, so you can expect a shitstorm.

Every day in this sorry world, women suffer threats, insults, battery, assault and even murder at the hands of -- almost exclusively -- men; yet as soon as a woman complains about male power, male privilege, or male violence, predictably a bunch of dudes get all upset and start calling her a man-hater, feminazi, etc.

Kinda like the Tea Party gets all riled up and claims there's a War on Christians if anyone objects to enforced prayer in schools :-)

No one gets more righteous and irate than a person accustomed to a certain privilege or status whose privilege or status is suddenly called into question. That's just human nature for ya. There are, unfortunately, a lot of guys out there who just
can't stand the idea of women being free or equal; their self-image as "masculine men" absolutely requires that non-masculine persons like women have to accept 2nd-class status; then and only then will they be polite or pleasant to their underlings.

Kinda like plantation owners who could be kind and magnanimous to their house slaves so long as the slaves were suitably subservient and obedient and everybody (seemingly) agreed who was Boss; but if any slave ran, resisted, gave any sass, even
*looked* angry or sulky, gawd help him or her -- the whip and the noose were ever handy."

With racism there's a sexual inadequacy component to it as well, because white racist men perceive black men as having bigger dicks, which comes dangerously close to the core of their insecurities about manhood, which is already atrophied by all the other factors mentioned above.

This was the driving force behind slavery and what lead to hangings and other abuses, and still is the main force behind racism, because the most threatening thing a black man could do, is have sex with a white woman, and laws were even made to justify it.

So this whole christian/teabagging/racist/super patriot thing all comes from the same source. Always the victim, always attacking others and always right.

Occupiers

by Inquiring Mind Sunday, Jun. 09, 2013 at 4:34 AM

How can Israel occupy a land that has been their for over 3000 years. The occupiers are the pan Arabs claiming to be Palestinians, an nationality that has never existed. History rewritten by jew hating morons.

by Goatdog Tuesday, Jul. 23, 2013 at 2:53 AM

":They were asked to rate 16 countries and the European Union on whether their influence in the world was "mainly positive" or "mainly negative"."

16 countries. not 197. Reading comprehension fail;

where did they come up with that map, from Zionists?

by PrionPartyy Tuesday, Jul. 23, 2013 at 3:31 AM

The map presented by crazy-inventor was wrong about the 1946 "Jewish" lands.

Zionists had the Kibbutz system in Palestine. They would "buy" (and there is controversy over my use of the word "buy", since they no more bought the land than the USA bought the Louisianna Purchase) a few acres of Palestinian lands and then would work a few hundred acres of Palestinian public lands, which were called Crown Lands, because the Britts claimed Palestinian public lands as Brittish lands much like most of Canada is the personal property of the Queen of England. And in 1947, the Zionists claimed the "crown lands" they had worked as their own personal property, when they never paid any cash for the lands. They called it, "sweat equity".

So, the Zionists and Palestinian Jews never owned anywhere near the amount of land shown in the 1946 map. To be accurate, you would see nothing more than tiny little dots of so called "Jewish lands", surrounded by the Crown Lands which is Palestinian public lands.

Just replace the word Palestinian with 2 bit thug.
It doesn't matter if you're only not racist to selected groups, you've revealed your true nature. I'm ashamed to have ever posted here.

Maps are wrong

by Muca Thursday, Jul. 25, 2013 at 3:08 PM

The state owned lands were never" Palestinian". There were ottoman, then passed to the Brits, and then to the Israli government. There was never an independent Palestinian land in ths region.

it really shows what you got when you post

by PrionPartyy Saturday, Jul. 27, 2013 at 3:51 AM

So, maps are only official when they are presented by the "official" foreign occupiers??? Is that ALL you got then???

Well. then, the last official occupiers of Palestinian lands are the Brittish, which means Palestinians are the "official" locals. And the Zionists are the latest of "official" invaders of the Palestinian local's homeland.

Can't you at least TRY to have a valid ppoint to make

by p Saturday, Jul. 27, 2013 at 3:56 AM

Show us a map of Greek lands. Ohhh, they were Ottoman lands, like Palestinian lands were Ottoman lands.

Well, we westerners KNOW that Greek lands were Greek lands, even if Ottoman invaders occupied Greece. Just as we KNOW that Palestinian lands were Palestinian lands even if Ottoman Turks occupied the lands for 400 years.

Duhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
