Welcome to the wonderful world of Eurovisions!

Normally, Eurovisions would be a bloody fight between the BCS (Baltic Corruption System),
WECS (Western-Europe Corruption System) and EMCS (Eastern Mediterrian Corruption System),
where each of these factions give all the votes to each others to support their
neighboring countries.
Nowadays, because of the fall of USSR, Baltic Countries have won several times,
but the EVOCS (EuroVision Overall Corruption System) may have a reform!
Because, because, few European nations have got a few anti-semitic political movements,
they pay back in EuroVisions giving Israel several symphathic-points.
This PICS (Pro-Israel Corruption System) has got resistance in Baltic,
where countries have formed PSAP-BTI-CS (Pro-Socialists and Palestinians -
Boo to Israelis - Corruption System). The next Visions will be exciting!

I find it disturbing sometimes that we (finland) are called anti-semites. We are part of Europe. If you mean some country, then seperate it. I think we condemn more arafat than sharon. Except Tuomioja but he's hippie anyway and nobody gives a crap what he has to say anyway. Labeling the whole Europe as anti-semite is bad judgement.

Oh, there's strong Anti-Isreali feelings in Sweden. We're not anti-semite, of course, that's a ridiculous accusation, but Sweden is one of few western countries not to buy into the shitty Israeli propaganda.

CyberGnu, Until you just mentioned it, I had no idea that the French resistance was in the same league as the Palestinian "resistance." But now I understand:

France declares war on Germany.

Germany overruns France.

French resistance fighters disrupt German operations in France by bravely machine-gunning little German girls and by blowing themselves up in German restaurants, schools and wedding parties, killing as many of the Nazi pig civilians as they can.

The noble French!

A very apt analogy.

No, I guess your sig is all the clue we need to place your particular political bias. Still, it is amazing how much biblical imagery anti-Israeli ranting always seems to generate.

I don't imply it's a concious decision, Bunny. It's in the nature of irrational hatereds that you need to rationalize them, after all, and that isn't by any means an exercise in logic.

Biblical imagery? We are talking about the real world here!

Israel is acting incompetently and it gets criticised for it's actions.

But of course, Israel uses it's propaganda machine and pulls this 'biblical card', despite the fact that it is acting in a completely irrational manner.

And then accuses those who oppose it's actions as being 'antisemites'. It is propaganda of the highest order. It is interesting to see how many of you fall for the propaganda hook, line and sinker...do you really think Europe is a hotbed of antisemitic racial hatred? Yeah, right...

Well these days it's so easy to be called an anti-semite, after all all you have to do is mention that someone belongs to a group of three people who are in control of an activity or an organisation - seeing as the use of the word triumvirate is a supposedly anti-semite activity...

I tell you one thing I am and that is anti-thin skinned moron who cries wolf every bleedin' two seconds...

There's plenty of those on these threads - and they all seem to be batting for the Israelis!

And another thing too, while you stupid gits bandy around 'anti-semitism' every second a whore drops her panties - Palestinians are semites as well!

So if I was anti-semitic, I'd have to hate the Palestinians as well as the Jews...

That's the whole point of this stupid f*cking war - it's brother killing brother in the name of religion...

Provost Harrison, It is easier to sarcastically criticize than to actually propose a better course of action, but since you have stated that Israel is acting incompetently, I now nominate you to be the new leader of Israel. Your people want security and peace. They want to be free from terror.

What do you do, leader Provost Harrison? Lead us to the promised land.

Solution: Self determination for the Palestinians...

Morbius, You obviously don't get it, do you. The Jews have been a part of European society for 2000 years. The Arabs are only just moving in. It is the hatred of the Jews in Europe (and for that matter, in America, Australia, New Zealand or Canada) that is at issue. Even Powell ascribes European anti-Israeli sentiment to anti-Semitism.

What does Powell know, another non-European. Funny how all the people who hold these opinions about Europe don't actually live or know much about the place.

Again, I will reiterate, there are no undercurrents of anti-semitism, just criticism of Israeli action. It does not come down to race.

One of the best moments of the whole evening was when the Israel compere called Jerusalem Israel's capital and started making some blatantly political statements and the Estonian compere intervened and basically told the Israeli woman to shut up and give the votes, LOL!

Israel has no right to be in that contest. They should F-U-C-K off basically until they start behaving like a civilised country again.

Serbia isn't in it. Why should Israel be.

The Economist:

Notions of European anti-semitism are wrong, a gross distortion and a terrible slander

CNN:

It is true that there have been some ugly attacks on synagogues across Europe. But almost certainly they have reflected the unrest in the Middle East rather than any outbreak of anti-Semitism against local Jewish communities.

As a part of a global peace treaty with all parties:

1) Arab recognition of the Golan heights annexation;
2) Arab recognition of the Barak territorial proposal;
3) Israeli-pullback to be replaced by Jordanian forces under UN command/funding;
4) Dismantiling of all Jewish settlements in Arab territory; Israeli government compensating owners;
5) Right of return of refugees into Arab territory, but no further compensation due to offsetting claims by Jewish refugees from Arab lands;
6) Structural reform and Palestinian elections under Jordanian/UN supervision.
7) Jordanian exit if peace is maintained for at least one year.

PH already stopped them.
You still have tens of groups attacking Israel. The Palestinian children are still taught that the Jews are the children of the monkeys and the pigs and that the Jews have no right to exist in this land, streets are still named after suicide bombers, the goverment is still 100% corrupt, people still live in poverty and under strict Islamic law.

Well thus the problem is not as bad as you are now claiming. You give up on the stupid notion that Israel should be a Zionist state and accept pluralism, you start building relations with your neighbours, perhaps even helping out with some of their problems. You have to put something in to get something back.

Or of course, you could have "Fortress Israel", because quite frankly, I don't fancy your chances against the rest of the Arab world, because that is what you are going to get at this rate, and a damn sight more likely under your policies.

I refer you to your English-Hebrew dictionary. The word is "diplomacy"
