Nick,
Thanks for your post. What I have not been able to convince you of is the children suffer, the innocent suffer, and we all pay because a group takes up arms against others. .
Dave,
Isreal hasn't used the weapon (if they have it). The professor talking in my last posted video notes anthrax, laboratories in Afthanistan and South Lebanon where they are building arms, and pray for the militia leader in USA to bomb the Waukegan Nuclear facility.
Anthrax, cat tracks, it has been shown that most ,if not all, of the anthrax scares in the US came from US labs. Why would that have any connection to places mentioned??: It's like so many things, be afraid of what you don't understand and then STOMP IT. If I am not mistaken anthrax was a US creation to begin with. We seem so convinced that only WE know how to possess such nasty things..
Uh...no
Anthrax is one of the oldest diseases of grazing animals such as sheep and cattle and is believed to be the Fifth Plague mentioned in the Book of Exodus in the Bible.

Anthrax is one of the oldest diseases of grazing animals such as sheep and cattle and is believed to be the Fifth Plague mentioned in the Book of Exodus in the Bible. That would have been some time before there was a U.S. to create it...
And which Christian leaders in the "US pray for the extermination of any number of things"?
What are you suggesting they wish to exterminate? I'd really like to know. If they are advocating harm to others, I'd like to know specifically who they are.
Last question first, it has been expressed by several christian "clergy" that the US WILL be destroyed because of various lifestyle choices that are allowed in the US. Maybe "pray for" was inaccurate, Prostelitize might be better.
Again ,"created" is a poor choice of words because it can occur in nature. However we did generate it whether it is a synthetic or in cultured form, I don't know. But the anthrax that was sent around the US never came form anywhere but our labs. There have been people arrested for it because they could trace the strains to specific labs.

Just for the record, there are 89 known strains of anthrax. During the First World War, German agents were injecting anthrax into American livestock. In the nineteen-thirties, Japan tested anthrax as a weapon in Manchuria. In the forties, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union also began weaponizing anthrax.
The "Ames Strain" was the one that came to wide public attention in association with the U.S. 2001 anthrax attacks. The seven letters mailed to media outlets and U.S. Senators in 2001 contained anthrax bacteria of this particular strain. It was isolated from a diseased cow that died in Texas in 1981. The bacteria was isolated by the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostics Laboratory at Texas A&M University and shipped to the Army in May 1981 to test defenses against it. It remains a serious concern of the cattle industry.
The Vollum strain, developed but never used as a biological weapon during the Second World War, is much more dangerous and it was isolated in 1935 from a cow in Oxfordshire, UK. The Vollum 1B strain was the Army's "weapons grade" bio-bug and it's development ended and all weaponized stocks were destroyed after the end of the U.S. biological warfare program in 1969. After the American program ended, the research on biological and chemical weaponry was taken up by the Army's Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. The unit's chief purpose turned from making biological weapons to devising defenses against them, through such means as developing and testing vaccines.
If you aren't sure they have it, then you are not as informed as you believe. They acknowledge it, yet there have been no U.N. condemnations as there seems to be for every other country in that pursuit. Regardless if they have used it or not, they were established under a UN resolution that FORBID them from building one. It's wrong for others to disobey laws they have created but not wrong for them to violate the very charter that established them?? I can't see why so many arab nations would be upset about that.
As I said before, if Hamas denounced violence, and declare Isreal's right to exist, then Isreal would lift the blockade.
Domtoni,
You have said it before and this was my response then.
Taken from an article I read and he has a point, double standards again I'm afraid.
"The United States insists that Hamas meet strict preconditions before it can take part in negotiations: recognize Israel, renounce violence and abide by agreements previously signed between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, of which Hamas is not a member. These demands are unworkable. Why should Hamas or any Palestinian accept Israel’s political demands, like recognition, when Israel refuses to recognize basic Palestinian demands like the right of return for refugees?
As for violence, Hamas has inflicted a fraction of the harm on Israeli civilians that Israel inflicts on Palestinian civilians. If violence disqualifies Hamas, surely much greater violence should disqualify the Israelis?"
Personally, as someone that has native american bloodlines on both sides, I find it disturbing that a country can be created where another existed. Not by the people of the country ,but by some group that feels they have a "god given" right to it.
. Israel doesn't practice that "turn the other cheek" bullshit that our liberals are so fond of. It's kill one of ours, and we will kill 100 of yours. Some are just slow to learn, and that's the way it has been for thousands of years with no change in site. They bring it upon themselves, and then cry to the rest of the world. "Look, we keep fucking with Israel, and the keep beating shit out of us" Real bright people.
So why aren't the Palestinians bright enough to look at the numbers and say "geeeez, this isn't working, let's try a different approach". But why do that when the libs of the world will keep blaming those nasty Israelis?Al,
Brilliant so you rightly condemn Hamas for those tactics but condone Israel for the same, and lets face it Israelis' tactics are really working as you admit yourself'
You could possibly have a valid point if they were killing the right people, but they are killing civilians, a high percentage of which are under 18.
Do you think the parents and families of those children love them any less than we love ours.
Do you think the parents of those children have any more influence over their government or terrorists operating in their country than we have over ours.
Do you think the parents of those children care any more about the rhetoric and excuses for why they were killed than we would care if it were our children.
Do you think the parents or families of those children are any less likely to take up arms against those who killed their children than we would against any one who killed ours.
