The IQ of American police officers is scandalously low compared to those of other nations, Clav. They have yet to figure out that throwing buttons at demonstrators doesn't work nearly as well as smashing their heads in with those big shiny sticks they carry on their belts. - Comment by Clavos on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
in the shape of police's buttons So THAT'S what those tiny little round dents in my head are from! And all along I thought I had to worry about police batons. - Comment by Dr Dreadful on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
Kurt's job as a Hitler Youth leader obviously leaves him with too much time on his hands... - Comment by Dave Nalle on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators

your police force is doing a right thing in educating you what your american regime and your country really is for your government an illegal immigrant or an American-born slave who works in your shitty slavish environment 12 hours per day for water and bread are the same value your brainless heads were unable to understand that there are no "illegal aliens" on planet earth because the whole planet became American property and "area of American interests" your policemen were acting as roman legionnaires kicking out slaves' brains from spartacus's comrades because you allowed them to consider living people in your evil country as animals and soulless objects you Americans deserved it! you allowed your government to kill innocent people all around the globe invade sovereign countries impoverish and enslave entire continents now your government gave you a lesson teaching you that you are "an invaded territory" Iraqis within America slaves and bastards is bush's or one of his jewish mentors' son or daughter was in the crowd the police would not attack you! obviously! you Americans don't like the truth that's why the truth has to knock into your silly heads in the shape of police's buttons - Comment by Ruvy in Jerusalem on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
When you are Jewish, a little paranoia is a healthy thing. Right now, a war is going on here. Hamas has been launching upwards of 20 rockets a day since Independence Day in April, concentrating on driving out the residents of the city of S'derot. The Israeli government, under orders of the United States, is doing nothing to stop them. The world press covers this only if and when Israeli forces do retaliate, and only if and when there are Arab casualties. Poor bastards. They attack us, we restrain our forces under orders of the successors of the perfidious British, the backstabbing Americans, and only when the Arabs get killed do your reporters rush in to say anything. - Comment by Dr Dreadful on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
Ruvy, I acknowledge that as a Jew you've got more right to be paranoid than most of us, but sometimes (and I've thought this about a number of your posts and comments) you seem to be jumping at shadows. As Dan just pointed out, he made up the swastika hatpin thing; and while it is true that Di's boys did once don SS uniforms, it was a frickin'costume party, for cryin' out loud. I don't think you're going to see Will 'n' Harry's right arms shooting out uncontrollably Г la Dr Strangelove any time soon. In my opinion, putting on Nazi uniforms can be funny, if the reason you're doing it is to ridicule them. Mel Brooks has done it to great effect, many times; as did the classic BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo, set in occupied France. That's not why the Princes were doing it, so I'll give you that that one was in poor taste. - Comment by Dan on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
Boy, Ruvy got going there. Who knew? I suspect there is an alternative reading of events. His seems a little harsh. I'm not qualified to know. Sure has a lot of factual content. Rendered with passion too. Good job Ruvy. That hatpin thing was, in fact, me going overboard to stress a point. It's a defense mechanism. So "swastika hat pin" is not factual. - Comment by Nancy on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
Chris Rose: Occasional paragraphs & parts of lines will drop out of my on-screen text. Has anybody else observed or complained about this? So for example, in #94 I got the first 2 paragraphs, then the first & last lines only of PP3. Very strange. It doesn't occur with any other site I frequent except BC. - Comment by Ruvy in Jerusalem on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
Dr. Dreadful, A tiny swastika on the hat of a woman of no real significance is just that - tiny, unimportant, insignificant. What is significant is that the British stabbed my people in the back - just as they have stabbed so many other peoples in the back, Arabs included. They did not actively kill 6,000,000 European Jews - the Nazis did that. But they made sure, by virtually shutting the door of the Mandate for a Jewish National Home that they had responsibility for, that those Jews would be there to kill - kind of like the fellow with the white gloves who locks the stall so that the cattle can't get out when the slaughterer comes - and then lets out a few calves and calls himself a humanitarian. Looking at it all from the point of view of one who used to be an American, I think the Americans did a very wise thing to cut themselves off from the British crown and Empire. They gave themselves a real opportunity for greatness - and for a while looked as though they might even fulfill their potential. - Comment by Dr Dreadful on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
It is no great surprise that your Queen should sport a tiny swastika in her hat. Ruvy, Dan was being sarcastic. In much the same way that an elephant pissing on its keeper is being sarcastic - but nevertheless. - Comment by Ruvy in Jerusalem on Police Fire on Journalists and May Day Rally Demonstrators
Well, Stan, I finally returned from J-lem with some food for Sabbath meals. So I can return to your observations. 1. Hitler made it absolutely clear what he intended to do to Jews if he ever got power. And when he did get power, very few took him seriously - including the idiots who ran Whitehall. By the time Jews took Hitler seriously, it was way too late. Zev Jabotinski went to Europe begging them to leave for Israel - he warned a committee of the House of Lords that Europe would become a Jewish graveyard. The British were well forewarned of what their enemies would do to Jews, and had a pretty good idea of Hitler's ideas for dominating Europe. They shut the door of their Mandate here to Jews - and they refused to prepare for war with Germany. 2. The one group of Jews who did negotiate with the Nazis were the Labor Zionists - what they did was to see to it that non-religious Zionists, Jews who had no use for G-d, would get out of Germany and the lands that fell under the rule of the Nazis. And they did everything they could to see to it that religious Jews would not get out. 3. When the British issued their infamous White Paper virtually slamming the door of THE LAND OF ISRAEL to Jews - AFTER THEY UNDERTOOK TO CREATE A JEWISH NATIONAL HOME HERE - the Hagana tried to take a stance of restraint and initiated a policy of sneaking Jews into their own homeland. The Etze"l, the group headed by Zev Jabotinsky, and after his death, MenaHem Begin, took a policy of violent resistance to the British, attacking them when and wherever possible. The Shtern Gang took the extreme policy of siding with the Nazis against the British - the precise policy of the Moslem Brotherhood - people like Abdel Nasser and Anwar Sadat. I think they were wrong in being willing to work with the Nazis, and I do not think they ever succeeded. The Nazis, when they negotiated with Jews, were only willing to negotiate with the Labor Zionists or people they knew could produce lots of money. the desperate ideologues of the Shtern Gang were not in this category. Nevertheless, by assassinating British officials, the Shtern Gang they made thems
