Mitt Romney says Israeli Culture is more superior than Palestinans

[Solomon2]

That is a Jewish free masonry symbol, and your answer is stupid and laughable, do try to hide the truth with something more deceitful, you Jewish people are supposed to be good at deception.

Not at all, I am pointing out to Israel, so you do not need to drag Pakistan into this, the subject is clearly Israel.

You confirm it yourself, you Jews give heavily to Jewish charity (to save on Taxes- you see I know the Tax Laws!), and by the way you give a lot to politicians too, only to get it back exponentially multiplied in contracts and other commercial and political benefits for the Jews of course.
You can find that figure in Books or just go to a library ad try to find 20 years back and older articles, today the tactics have changed, you live on American and European transfers of technology(as aid and donations), but you act as labour and fraudulent businessmen, Your hypocrisy has no limit, you are still getting a few billions in overt financial aid, and a lot of billions from all kind of mischiefs.

You should spend the rest of your life reading books to come and argue against the truth, but by that time you won't want to argue anymore, since the truth will hit you so badly that you will not want to be Jewish anymore.

With all my respect to the very few respectful Jews if they still exist.

Israelis and Jews are not mirror images of Pakistanis and Muslims. I understand you value your prejudices enough to avoid learning better out of the fear that the truth will "hit you badly". I've seen it happen to Pakistanis and Muslims before. What you do with your identity after that is your business - but do you really deserve to live with the anger and resentment that follows shame the rest of your life? Some of these Muslim guys vow to become terrorists; others, perhaps the majority, choose a path of peace.

......One just has to look at the US dollar bill and find out the star of David above the eagle's head

Typical example of Pakistani belief in demi-gods, aka constipated conspiracy theories.

That star of david like symbol was designed in late 18th century, while Israel wasn't around for 1000s of miles not on planet earth at least and so was the fantom called state of Pelestine.

The symbolism comes from the great seal of the US.

This seal has been used for passports, US president's office, dollar bill (1935) long before Israel came into being.

What's wrong with you guys?

Have you all gone mad with Arab rage.

pathetic just pathetic.

tomorrow you will come hear and tell us about all the Illuminati theories. What a sorry excuse of a person. What a sorry excuse.

Don't you know the illuminati had decided to form Israel a long time ago? It was because Israel would serve as the Zionist base for the New World Order?

And most of you have gone homosexuals, can you deny it?
That is shameful.
You arrogance has no limits till you meet the Arabs and you start crying, you time will come again and again till you disappear or you completely change your behaviour., there are many threads about the Jews or the Zionists as they are called today, and you history can only be praised by low lives like you, read the threads, the truth is there from all over the world to hit your hearts and dirty brains and hurt you badly since all you are is personified hate.

/QUOTE]

how much of this is for the show and how much genuine?

if I was a Jew.. I would have felt offended.. a guy faking for the sake of political mileage.
but since I am not Jewish.. I will just watch time and again these hypocrites playing the religious card and Holocaust tragedy to gain favors


no amount of positive spin over this video can hide the fact that this guy is counting votes and monetary favors right now.

If some one was licking your boots because they could get something out of you, because you had the power to change their life, would you feel offended at their **** kissing of yours or would feel a burst of pride mixed with arrogance that you have power over them. Same thing is happening here.

solomon2, I don't know why this Thread has survived 11 long pages it should have been closed the moment the name mad man mitt romney came up.

PS. why do you justify mitt romney's statement you should be the one to condemn it or you are following the lines of talmud.

Moderators should close this Thread serves no purpose.

A difference beyond question

By Richard Cohen, Published: August 6

Before the Jews of Hungary were emancipated in the 19th century, they were not permitted to own land. By the end of the century, they were on their way to owning fully one-fifth of Hungary’s large estates and were hugely successful in business and the arts. The Jews of Germany had a similar history. In the early 20th century, they comprised many if not most of the country’s lawyers, doctors, composers, playwrights and scientists, and were so astonishingly successful in business that while they were just 1 percent of the population, they were 31 percent of the richest families. What did it? Was it nature (Jews were smarter) or nurture (Jews had a certain culture)? Here’s my answer: I don’t know.

I do know, though, that if you eliminate what would certainly be condemned as a racist explanation — Jews as inherently smarter than non-Jews — then you are left with culture: There was something in the Jewish experience — 1,000 or so years of persecution and being shunted into dishonorable occupations such as money lending — that prepared Europe’s Jews for the onset of capitalism. Countless books have been written to explain this phenomenon, which continues to this day with Israel’s intellectual domination of its region. In his new book, “The Future of the Jews,” Stuart E. Eizenstat provides an example: “Between 1980 and 2000, 7,652 patents were registered by Israelis in the United States.” The figure for the entire Arab world? 367.

The cultural difference between Israel and its Arab neighbors is so striking that you would think it beyond question. But when Mitt Romney attributed the gap between Israel’s economic performance and the Palestinians’ — “Culture makes all the difference,” he said in Israel — the roof came down on him. PC police the world over raised a red card, giving him demerits for having the temerity to notice the obvious. Predictably, Saeb Erekat, chief Palestinian negotiator and a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, denounced the statement as “racist.” It was, of course, just the opposite.

This is a complicated matter. It’s true that the West Bank is under Israeli occupation and parts of Gaza have been pounded into rubble. It is also true that for years the Palestinians benefited from jobs in Israel. It is true that a good many educated Palestinians live in the diaspora, but it is also true that the early diaspora consisted of Palestinian Christians fleeing Ottoman repression. (There are about 500,000 Palestinians in Chile.)

Still, for all the caveats, Arabs themselves recognize that they have a cultural problem. The Arab Human Development Report of 2002 singled out three “deficits” of Arab society that are “obstacles” to progress. One was the lack of political freedom; another was the narrow knowledge base; and the third the status of women. All of these vary across the region — Saudi Arabia’s women are forbidden to drive — but nowhere in the region are women as free as they are in the West or, for that matter, Israel. In all of vast Arabia, about half of the potential workforce is poorly educated.

This hubbub about culture may seem esoteric, but it is really very important. The tendency to hold the Arabs blameless for their own culture is part of the predilection to hold them harmless for the lack of peace agreement with Israel. The Israelis have much to account for, but they are not alone in this matter and they are not the ones who have over and over again rejected peace plans. The adamant refusal to hold the Arabs accountable infantilizes them — a neo-colonialist mentality that is, in the end, simply insulting.

The book that Romney cited for his views on Arab culture, David S. Landes’s “The Wealth and Poverty of Nations,” goes further than I would in blaming the Arabs for their own difficulties, and it was written long before the Arab Spring. But it is a vigorously written attack on the sort of thinking that blames the West for all that ails the East and for disregarding indigenous cultural problems. Landes is particularly tough on the Muslim societies of the Middle East for the plight of women — a cultural phenomenon that does not exist in Islamic Asia but does, just for the record, among Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jews.

Romney could have been more diplomatic and eschewed a shorthand explanation of what ails Palestinian society — he might also have acknowledged Palestinian achievements — but he identified what are, indisputably, two problems. The first is that of culture. The second is the reluctance to discuss it.

Swap the words Palestinian and Arab for Jew, and it's not too far off from what a Nazi would say.

 

[KingMamba]

Swap the words Palestinian and Arab for Jew, and it's not too far off from what the Nazis did say.

Just made a correction for you mate.

 

[Solomon2]

Swap the words Palestinian and Arab for Jew, and it's not too far off from what a Nazi would say.

You'd have to swap - and add - a lot more than that to get to "what a Nazi would say." Two facts alone suffice: one, the Nazis, unlike the Jews, were self-obsessed with their superiority and two, the Nazis were keen on eliminating any moral standard other than their own from their society, even at the cost of millions of deaths.

Swapping "Nazi" with "Pakistani" is a much better fit, isn't it?

Israelis sound like Nazis, Pakistanis tend to act like them. It is ironic really Israel and Pakistan have so many more similarities then differences if you think about it. The signs of Fascism is prevalent in both of them.

All the more reason, then, for Pakistanis to concentrate on honestly investigating the differences to discern what Israel got right that Pakistan has got all wrong.

This particular columnist leans wayyy to the left and doesn't forget such things. He just has these episodes of sanity, that's all.
