You completely ignored the fact that the creation of Israel was made possible by a mandate provided by a foreign country. That constitutes foreign aid doesn't it?

Please don't ever, ever, again complain about the "herd" or "usual suspects" coming after you.

Isn't it just peachy that the biased brigade sees it as "innocent"? There was nothing innocent about it. I addressed you and not him. There wasn't any need for him to respond. As far as "10 pages" go he makes everyone that post on this board's site read like shorthand with his pointless diatribes.

Jews living in the country declared their independence 5 1/2 months after partition was granted (and then foolishly rejected by the Arabs). No decree put Israel into being, their Declaration of Independence followed by their successful defense of their lands by Arabs who were hoping to finish Hitler's work are what created Israel.

Now the partition was used to justify the declaration, but it certainly did not create Israel. Israelis fighting for their own rights is what created Israel. Mind you, there was no US support for Israel in that war either.

Bring it! I could care less. You showed who you were the first time so and me being the guy that I am chose not to believe it. You have an issue with me for some apparent reason. i don't give a fuck at this point. It is what it is. Each and every time that I feel that you are addressing the "poster" and not the "post" I am going to react that way.

I could care less about some message board etiquette either. It is just as phony as the people that constantly bemoan the fact that it is besmirched.

yeah JLN and I are in unison, that's why we rip each other apart in just about any other thread (especially those involving police shootings)

I like you.

I'm unclear how "10 more pages" was some attack.

Yet you still believe that he makes innocent comments. He had no interest in addressing my point as I said before whenever I believe that its "poster" and not "post" I'm going to react that way. Either like it or don't.

And I would have LTG sip it first.

LTG, it's a pretty common board meme to quote a post with a statement or some kind of information that is sure to incite heavy, heated debate (like Israel) with a comical prediction of increased thread length.

That is the go to move for people who claim that others are "derailing the thread". Isn't it ironic that JLN of all people was the one making the claim? I'd made one post (other than the one which began the thread) at that point. There was no back and forth. Simply address the point is my point. Same beat.

If that was comedic then you are a real riot. I wasn't going to engage with a long and forth about it. It was relevant to his point regarding foreign aid. I'm good.

My favorite part is that the response to it is to post so much it almost guarantees 10 more pages are coming.

Must be Seacrest's fault since he brought up Israel.

Actually I'd much prefer to discuss the particulars of the article. Up until this point no one has addressed what the article was actually about. Namely discrimination in housing. That is a big deal if true. This form of discrimination is a tad different than the historical ways in which discrimination in housing was practiced.

They are artifcially inflating the value of assessments for the purpose of having African Americans pay more in taxes than whites.

Just a serious note LTG, no one here is out to get you. We are people who all have strong opinions and sometimes butt heads, but at the end of the day this is just a message board, it is nothing more. Don't take it personally when someone disagrees with you or replies to you as it really shouldn't be personal, even when it gets heated.

interestingly enough, the person sued for the discrimination is neither white nor African American. I"m not saying there isn't anything going on, but I think there is more to the story than simple discrimination.

Isn't that what is lost in all of this? His point was relevant too. Good catch.
