Yeah, over at [freerepublic.com] or some similar psychoville.

Whatever max’s psychosis is, it’s clear he’s a misogynist who gets off on threatening women over the web. There are enough psychos around doing that who also carry the behaviour over into real life that when such is encountered on the web, there should be zero tolerance of it.

I’ve got a hunch Max Shields is not feeling quite well and is on a desperate search for “empathetic and sympathetic friends”…

Does anyone know who mary is?”

So you don’t know who mary is; and what’s more you are displaying Lila’s micro guide #7. Could you be someone to watch out for mary…who ever mary is?

I know mary the poster is someone who will take this comment as if, because mary the poster is a thorough going anti-zionist, pro-Palestinian, to mean that any questions about who mary is as a way of twisting that into a pro-Zionist anti-Palestinian.

Ya’ll see how the game is played? Thank you Lila for providing fuel to the Paranoid tribe on DV. (Watch it Lila, your next post may just be your own-undoing…we’ll use your “guide” to judge…)”

Why does DV allow this freak to harass and threaten a female user of this site. If max wasn’t an israeli hasbarat, but some rightwing neo-nazi type (which he may well be for all I know), would DV tolerate his harassment of a women on this board like this?

However I resent the accusation that simply questioning who you are makes me a hasbara. I do however understand your reaction given your experience here. You see I too have experiences here. Many of those who claim to care about Palestinians seem to be a tad more anti-Israel than they are pro-Palestinians.

Like you I believe deeply in justice, definitely for the Palestinians whose lives have been devasted by a preditory state. I am equally concerned about justice here in America. We have major gaps regarding how our penal-industrial complex seems to house inordinant number of African-Americans and Hispanics; with totals that exceed most in penal institutions in the world. We still have capital punishment in the US. I know that seems uncivilized to those in other nations, like the UK. But it’s true. Our poverty rate is soaring…many of our children go to school with their bellies empty…but I guess in the scheme of things this is trivial when we have to be scouring the Web to see who matches Lila’s Micro-guide to Spotting Propaganda with various bloggers.

How desparately out of touch with the world!!!

so what’s ur problem?
as for me facing ‘jewish’ supremacism, i am facing it and condemning it.
the diff between my stance and urs is that u r facing only or mostly ‘jewish’ supremacism and solely or mostly the one in u.s.

but even if i wld accept the word “racism” in place of supremacism, one still can’t find anywhere as much racism as among wasp, germans, and ‘jews’.

i never said a word about what afrikans or indigenous americans shld have done to avert catastrophy from hands of such people! tnx

We did not “reprint” it from any other source.

That’s a mighty ugly thought. (Actually, I think she took her degree from BigU.Com For $50 bucks, credit cards accepted you can be prolific too.

I can’t understand why any comments would be attacking her, that’s bizarre. You especially should not do that to people who do know rhetoric and can easily rip your head off in a debate, they can brutally destroy you as handily as trained martial artist can defeat an unarmed man twice his weight.

My only comment to Lila would be on this:

“Study the main logical fallacies (red herrings, straw men, hasty generalizations – you know, all the stuff in English 101) ”

Lila, you went to school in Europe. That’s obvious. Because they do not teach logic or critical thinking in the US. Not even in college. In some elite law schools, yes. But to the average American? Hell no! They are taught garbage and discipline.

Your average American will come out of a four year university fifty thousand dollars in debt and twice as stupid as when he or she went in.

You sound like Mebosa Ritchie who used to haunt these columns.

Talking of Palestinian children, this moving but totally unsentimental video is on Gilad Atzmon’s site. It is an account of a family’s experience during the Cast Lead onslaught, including the death of their eldest boy whose corpse was used as target practice whilst the injured parents sheltered nearby with their other children. They are now living in a tent as their house was flattened. Their love for each other and their amazing stoicism shines out. As usual, they do not seem to be bitter.

Just months after the Israeli assault that killed 1,390 Palestinians, I visited Gaza. Among dozens of painful stories I heard, one family stood out. I spent several days with Kamal and Wafaa Awajah, playing with their children, sleeping in the tent they were living in, and filming their story.

Wafaa described the execution of their son, Ibrahim. As she spoke, her children played on the rubble of their destroyed home. Kamal talked about struggling to help his kids heal from trauma.

What compelled me to tell the Awajah family’s story? I was moved not only by their tragedy but by the love for their children in Wafaa and Kamal’s every word.

Palestinians in Gaza are depicted either as violent terrorists or as helpless victims. The Awajah family challenges both portrayals. Through one family’s story, the larger tragedy of Gaza is exposed, and the courage and resilience of its people shines through.’

Some excellent comments there too.

I guess according to bozh, African American should have been struggling against ALL “supremacy” before they confronted Jim Crow. Tell that to the families of the African American that got lynched and demeaned. Perhaps if bozh really faced Jewish racism he would be much more sympathetic to the struggle against Zionism.
