Agree, one must always remember that there is a difference between

1. Anti-judaïsm. Like in medieval Europe. The Christians considerd the Jewish religion to be a threat to her own existance.
“The Jews have no right to live here as Jews”
Solution: become christian

2. Anti-semitism. Created in the 19th century. Being jewish was more than just a religion, it was a race (Darwinism)
“The Jews have no right to live here”
Solution: try to get rid of them (to another country).

3. Judeocide. Hitlers answer in the 20th century.
“The Jews have no right to live”
Solution = Endlösung.

If you don’t keep these 3 forms seperated, you are actually denying the Holocaust as something unique which should never happen again. If an Israeli today claims that European criticism towards Israels current politics= anti-semitism, than he’s actually completing Hitlers work, because he’s not showing respect to the 6 millions of casualties in the camps of Birkenau, Treblinka …

Anti-semitism should be defined more correctly, otherwise there will be abuse. Both from the neonazi’s AND the zionists. I am for example against zionism, the believe that Israel should expand more. But I don’t consider myself to be an anti-semite. I’m not saying anti-semitism does not exist anymore today, but not in the same way as pre-WWII. Anti-semitism was a form of jealousy towards the more wealthy Jews, today, de standards of living are higher in the EU than in Israel so there’s no sence of jealousy anymore. Anti-semites are just a marginal group today, most of the times they are not even considered serious anymore by extreme right.

Two times? Have you been drinking too much? 😉

No, what happened here is a disgrace. I hope the soldiers who did this will be brought to justice. It sickens me to see these peacekeepers making abuse of a totally desorientated population in such a cruel way! This story is no different than the cruelties in the Abu Grabi prison in Iraq, Sauron.

The UN doesn’t have soldiers of it’s own, this has little to do with the United Nations ORGANISATION. Blue berets consist of national soldiers. When Belgian soldiers commited sex crimes in the Congo years ago, they were brought to a Belgian military tribunal. The UNO does a great job, still. There will always be corruption, bad leadership. But does that mean it should cease to exist. The United States also exists after Watergate, Irangate and Zippergate. :rolleyes:

Given that the world originally accepted story as true,you would think that there would be a great deal of interest in whether or not the whole thing was staged.

The reluctance is understandable if you swallowed it whole in the first place. I am guessing the degree of interest in the “truth” would be much greater if this story was about Isaeli or American fakery.

Sauron

Ohh come one :confused: :confused: the story about the 9/11 palestinians, did it make headlines? No, not at all. Press doesn’t like telling the truth after such a blow. Try to understand european press is no different fthan american press.

Well, personally I think the environment is trying to recover at this moment. Since the eighties people are actually concerned about nature. Even conservatives and liberals now admit we can’t pollute forever. It’s not like our generation is solely responsible for the current state of the environment. People is exploiting nature for more than 500 years (on an industrial scale I mean). I am all but a card holding member of the Green Party ;), however, a good education and gov’t campaigns can inform people how to save nature. For this the Green activisits did a great job. I know in the US or Australia environmentalists are not very popular, but in densily populated areas like the low lands or Germany they are necessairy. I do enjoy jogging in the woods now and then, I would hate to see every tree cut down in favour of a new dogfood plant or extra runway. Now that doesn’t mean I need to hug every tree while reading beatnic poems and play on my bongo’s 😀 …

Hey, for christ’s sake, it’s not a flame war here, ok? Nobody has the right to lock a thread as long as there is no racist crap in it. I think everyone sticked to the rules. 😡 I’m not going to post on this thread anymore, because I said what I need to say. I’m not a flamer, just because some of you don’t like what I say doesn’t mean it should be deleted or locked. 😡 😡 :mad:. I didn’t start this thread, all right?

Which part of his moderation do you question?

Look – I could should show you forums where the moderators routinely delete and edit posts that they disagree with and posts by users that they, or the site owners, simply don’t happen to like.

Nothing wrong with Flood’s moderation that I can see.

Frankly, I begin to wonder just how spontaneous this sudden questioning of Flood’s moderation actually is.

This is not Flood’s personal forum to begin with. If he starts his own website than he can say whatever he wishes and ban whoever he wishes. But he doesn’t “own” the AFM-forum.

For once, I can guarantee you I’m not being spontaneous. I also don’t understand the negative reactions on my previous posts. Ohhh well, I shouldn’t get too envolved. It’s non of my business, I was just trying to be objective. It some people can’t accept a little criticism … :mad:.

Seems like very sensible :rolleyes:. I don’t question Flood as a user, but as a moderator.

Well, if CM decided it was the best to delete that thread than why not? On a number of occasions I also did that. It’s his decission. I don’t think Flood, being a moderator, you should have brought up this topic. You can’t be judge and prosecutor on the same forum.
