Nice imagery. How so very Orwellian.

I'm going to go try to get my son to enlist in the army to go kick some Taliban butt just like we did against the Nazis.

Can you give some direct proof that CJC, CIC and B'nai brith are "Arab and Muslim hating" groups. It is one thing to engage in passionate disagreements and quite another to claim that these groups "hate" Arabs and Muslims. Since at least one of these groups act very much as a representative of the community (excluding some like IJV) claiming CJC "hates" all Muslims is way off base I believe.

Well OK that's B'nai Brith...I was really thinking the more mainstream (yes yes I know what you think of that word Unionist give it a rest) CJC

Please excuse the pedantry, but "rather unique" is an expression you maybe don't want to use any longer.

"Unique" does not take any qualifiers. It means "only one," so things can't be "very unique" or "sort of unique" or "rather unique." They are unique, or they aren't.

Just trying to be helpful. Tomorrow, we'll do "unanimous." (Borges fans, be prepared.)

I'm sure most of us will unanimously agree, skdadl.

Mind you, I reached a consensus, but so far no one else has.

I won't state that B'nai Brith and the CJC are Arab or Muslim hating organzations. I just wanted to get the point across that any minor criticism against Arabs or Muslims could mean that these organizations are Arab and Muslim hating. It's like pro-current-Israel groups call the IAW, the IJV, and others who criticize Israel as being Jew haters or anti-Semitic.

"At this moment now...." Discuss.

Jaku, you need some serious grounding in Babble history.

Well, I suppose not given your apparent motivation for appearing here (party line speaker for the Israeli government).

Dissing skdadl as a lame newbie speaks to a profound ignorance of Babble history. You are not going to get any respect around here for doing that.
