The Simon Weisenthal Center unveils new Missile of Tolerance

The Simon Weisenthal Center unveils new Missile of Tolerance

The Simon Weisenthal Center unveils new Missile of Tolerance



The Simon Weisenthal Center, a leading Jewish human rights organization, proudly announced their new Missile of Tolerance today. The Weisenthal 1, is an air-to-surface missile that will be used to teach Palestinian militants and any Palestinian civilians in the two hundred-yard radius a strong message of racial tolerance. The 750-pound blast fragmentation warhead is specially designed to improve tolerance in anyone killed, injured or burned beyond recognition by the powerful explosive.

The missile performed well in an early morning Tolerance Education Mission on a suspected Palestinian militant, five of his neighbors and a six-year-old boy that happened to be playing in a burned out car by the compound. The attack resulted in seven more racially enlightened Palestinians who will be buried in a large funeral procession later in the week.

In addition, the Weisenthal Center also released the New Lexicon of Hate. A pocket guide to help and to better equip families, clergy, law enforcement, the military, and the media to recognize today's symbols and symptoms of bigotry which have infected many Arabs and Palestinians. The lexicon documents the coded anti-Semitic hate speech that is common among Palestinians. Included in the book are coded phrases commonly used by Palestinians: “Please stop torturing me, I have no idea where he is”, “Can I have some clean water?” or “Didn’t the United Nations decide these settlements are illegal?” These are all revealed for their insidious anti-Semitic nature.

Wow, Jerry...

by daveman Friday, Jun. 06, 2003 at 10:54 PM

...even your sense of humor betrays your Jew-hatred.

wow, daveman

by Sheepdog Friday, Jun. 06, 2003 at 11:20 PM

Didn't think anyone likes the race of assholes. I know I

don't think any civilians killed by heroic missiles and

bombs would disagree with me. Don't care if they are fired

from tanks, helicopters or self propelled ballistic jell.

Again and again...

by Diogenes Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 2:55 AM

...those who would provide aid and comfort to the Zionist Butchers make the false assertion that detestation of the inhuman behavior of the Israeli Government means one hates Jews.

It is so ludicrous as to be almost dumbfounding. As a "Big Lie" it is certainly up there. The persistence in forwarding the LIE that because one objects to the criminal behavior of Zionists that one hates Jews is wearing thin.

Again and Again

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 3:04 AM

The anti-Zionists transparent cover of having compassion for the "palestinians" grows thinner every day.

It's seen in the COMPLETE absence of any concern for the plight of ANY group ANY where on earth UNLESS the hated JEWS are involved.

You can call it a big lie all you want, but the fact that you all simply hate Jews is the ONLY explanation for this intense tunnel vision you have.

If there is another reason why you are all MUTE on the treatment of all other arab groups at the hands of other arabs, please explain.

Your point is irrelevant....

by Diogenes Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 4:03 AM

...I was responding to davies attempt to discredit by playing the "anti-Semitism" card.

Personally I thought it was a rather cute piece of satire.

Of course you did

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 4:28 AM

What could be cuter to you than slandering Jews.

It's what you do best.

Hows the weather over there in Bergen-Belsen?

No, Dio, fresca's point...

by daveman Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 8:09 AM

...is perfectly relevant.

You people do hate Jews.

Let's change the article a bit, shall we?

The Yasser Arafat Center unveils new Missile of Tolerance



The Yasser Arafat Center, a leading Arab human rights organization, proudly announced their new Missile of Tolerance today. The Arafat 1, is an air-to-surface missile that will be used to teach Israeli militants and any Israeli civilians in the two hundred-yard radius a strong message of racial tolerance. The 750-pound blast fragmentation warhead is specially designed to improve tolerance in anyone killed, injured or burned beyond recognition by the powerful explosive.

The missile performed well in an early morning Tolerance Education Mission on a suspected Israeli militant, five of his neighbors and a six-year-old boy that happened to be playing in a burned out car by the compound. The attack resulted in seven more racially enlightened Israelis who will be buried in a large funeral procession later in the week.

In addition, the Arafat Center also released the New Lexicon of Hate. A pocket guide to help and to better equip families, clergy, law enforcement, the military, and the media to recognize today's symbols and symptoms of bigotry which have infected many Jews and Israelis. The lexicon documents the coded Islamophobic hate speech that is common among Israelis. Included in the book are coded phrases commonly used by Israelis: “The nails in the suicide bomber's dynamite vest have permanenly maimed my 5-year-old daughter.”, “I just came into this place to get a pizza, and the restaurant exploded.” or “Don't civilized people everywhere condemn bombing civilian busses?” These are all revealed for their insidious Islamophobic nature.

Now...not quite so funny, is it? Had fresca or BA or I posted that as the original article, you and Sheepdog and the crew would have taken turns having rabid kittens about how racist and Islmaophobic and full of hate we are.

Face it...you can dress it up all you want, but you just

Plain.

Hate.

Jews.

and as to being racist

by Sheepdog Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 8:38 AM

"The anti-Zionists transparent cover of having compassion for the "palestinians"

grows thinner every day."

Your use of quotation marks reveals the inherent racism

of the natives of that land. As if there were never original

inhabitants worth mentioning.

wrong

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 12:54 PM

"Your use of quotation marks reveals the inherent racism

of the natives of that land. As if there were never original

inhabitants worth mentioning."

A. They are no more the "natives" than any other group.

B. To make the term Palestinian a proper noun is a bit hasty, don't you think. as there has never been a "Palestinian" state, culture, language..none of the elements that defines a "people". The people who call themselves "palestinians" DO deserve all of this and I hope with all my heart that they get it as soon as possible but let's see if an offer of peace is finally accepted.

These people who you would bestow this capitalization to are Egyptian and Jordanian and Syrian and Israeli by birth. The simple desire to wipe out Israel is not reason enough to grant them a capital "P".

And BTW, why is it that You Anti-Israel troops always seem to ignore the fact that the land in question is land that Israel gained, from other Arab states after the Six Day war.

Why is it that this land has somehow been reclassified as "Palestine".

Hmmmm. Maybe that's why I use the quotes.



I agree.

by Eric Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 1:13 PM

The Arab states not been poised to attack Iraq, the Palastinians would still be Egytians and Jordanians.

Regardless of how you...

by Diogenes Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 1:25 PM

...choose to name them, and Palestinian seems appropriate, they are natives of Palestine. They were the residents of the area before the European Ashenazim began their take over. It could have been peaceful but the Zionists have been admant in their desire to purge and cleanse the Palestinians off of their own land, by fire, plague, and famine.

Rather evil when you think about it.

interesting.

by Eric Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 1:41 PM

"The Arab states not been poised to attack Iraq, the Palastinians would still be Egytians and Jordanians."

I find it quite interesting how the word "Iraq" mysteriousl appeared in my comments, and the word "Israel" vanished.

There's a conspiracy afoot. I smell a rat, and it smells like IndyMedia!

and don't think I haven't noticed...

by Eric Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 1:45 PM

the mysterious "1" that appears at the top, every time I add comments. Are you IMC folks attempting to track us, or log how many posts we make in the wake of yesterdays DOS attacks?

Tsk, tsk. Isn't that against your "editorial" policies?

wow

by Sheepdog Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 2:16 PM

Eric is becoming sheepdog-like in his paranoia.

And by the way...

by Sheepdog Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 2:20 PM

My Adding a comment has a '1' in the corner, also.

Have a toke before you become a nutcase.

I'm sure they do.

by Eric Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 3:07 PM

I already know that anyone who comments here, get's the mysterious "1".

It wasn't there yesterday.

Just means they're probably monitoring everone. I'm sure after yesterdays DOS attack, they stayed up late lastnight doing some coding.

Tell me Sheepdog. How come you're always so paranoid about everything, but don't even question this? Can't see the forest for the trees?

Or maybe you're in on it?

Hmmm.

It is not those that call into question, whom we should deny.

It is those who deny, that we should call into question.

It would be a great honor to be labeled an antisemite by the Weisenthal Center. Let's look at all the other antisemites (thankfully outed by the Simon Weisenthal Center) and their hate filled retoric.

As long as young people feel they have got no hope but to blow themselves up, you are never going to make progress."

-- Cherie Blair, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair

"The Palestinians are fighting with human suicide bombers, that's all they have. The Israelis ... they've got one of the most powerful military machines in the world. The Palestinians have nothing. So, who are the terrorists? I would make a case that both sides are involved in terrorism."

-- Ted Turner, Founder of CNN

"When young people go to their deaths, we can all feel a degree of compassion for those youngsters - they must be so depressed and misguided to do this...."

-- Jack Straw, British Foreign Secretary

AntiSemites can easily be recognize by their compassion for all victims of organized violence (Israeli or Palestinian). For the Weisenthal Center to call itself a Museum of Tolerance is ridiculous.

I stand by my original posting.

Definition of Anti-Semite

by Solchil Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 4:37 PM

An anti-Semite is someone that Zionists have decided to hate.

well then

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 4:43 PM

A Zionist is anyone who quetions the motives of Arab Terrorist apologists.

Uh BTW

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 4:44 PM

"-- Ted Turner, Founder of CNN "

Thanks all the same, but you lot can claim this scumbag with our blessing.

A Zionist is-

by Solchil Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 5:02 PM

A Zionists is someone that keeps lists of people that dare to speak out and express their thoughts about Israel and its crimes. A Zionist is someone incapable of putting forth a logical argument, always resorting to slander and defamation rather than facts or reason. A Zionist is someone that will sell out his or her country for the benefit of a foreign land stolen from living victims currently housed in concentration camps euphamisiticaly referred to as refugee camps. I Zionist is someone that, after robbing his neighbors of his taxes, ships them to a foreign land for the construction of homes on land stolen from Palestinians. After committing this crime, the Zionist logs onto "Pizza for the IDF" and sends a blue and white gestapo pig a pizze as a reward for killing yet another innocent child...

ho hum

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 5:12 PM

A Zionist is none of these things.

You know it and I know it.

A Zionist is simply someone who believes that Jews should have a homeland of their own WITHOUT the constant threat of annihilation from neighboring hordes who hate them simply because they are Jewish.

I also find it amazing that you still labor under the fantastical notion that the "palestinians" are in any way more "innocent" then Israeli's.

Your sort of racism is all too common.

Fresca just proved HIMSELF a Zionist.

by Solchil Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 5:21 PM

Remember that part about "defamation" rather than reason or logic?

???

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 5:24 PM

"Remember that part about "defamation" rather than reason or logic?"

I am very logically stating that your inability to see the "palestinians" as anything other than poor victims and Israelis as anything but monsters is racist.

I have in no way defamed you. I have merely identified you.

Now hurry to your National Front rally.

middle ground

by original poster Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 7:38 PM

I don't hold to either view. I do not find that the Palestinians are innocent or that the Israelis are racist. I am glad that Sharon wants Peace and I praise the leaders of both sides who are interested in reaching a compromise.

I strongly disagree with:

- Settlements in Palestinian Areas

- Overly Zealous Attacks on Militant Palestinians designed to kill civilians (How are you going to use an air-to-surface missile fired from an Appache helicopter in a crowded urban area without killing innocent people?)

- The Destruction of the Palestinian Economy as Collective Punishment.

- All Suicide Bombings

- The Palestian claim that Israel does not have a right to exist

I praise leaders who take a reasonable approach from both sides.

I published this piece of satire because I believe that the Wesienthal Center should not define itself as a Tolerance Center but as a Jewish Special Interest Group. (which is what it is)

Fair enough

by fresca Saturday, Jun. 07, 2003 at 7:56 PM

I'm happy to see someone else who is willing to let both sides share the blame.

I agree that both sides need to comprimise and that Israel should make the first overatures.

Labelling either side as victims and the other side as perpetrators will never end in peace.
