Too bad you choose to continue your ignorant tirades in ill-crafted manifesto's instead of simply responding honestly.
Hell, I've even given you a really good anti-Semitic joke to repeat to your fellow Amalekites. Happy Un-Holidays!

In a recent post by Xiaominglover1, he asks me a question ---

Let's play guess who :  a former terrorist turned Nobel Peace Prize winner?  I'll wait.

At the time, I provided a brief response, to whit:

"And "fine"-ally, in answer to your question...my guess is you are referring to Menachem Begin."

I would like to expand on that response as your first lesson in getting a clue.

Menachem Begin and Yasser Arafat

What do these two have in common? Both were labeled terrorists, both went on to lead their respective peoples, both were awarded a Nobel Peace Prize.

Whats the difference between them?

With regards to Menachem Begin: From the day Begin and (Egyptian President) Anwar Sadat signed the Camp David accords, there has been a steady peace with Egypt, shaken up occasionally but unbroken in more than a quarter of a century.

Arafat, had the Oslo accords, which he squandered, and in 1999 Ehud Barak was going to give him virtually EVERYTHING the Arabs wanted, even up to and including East Jerusalem as their capital, despite the outcries of Jews and Israelis around the world. Arafat's response was to initiate a foolish campaign called "intifada" while at the same time, fattening his own coffers with monies intended for his "people", and siphoning off millions of dollars intended for humanitarian aid to purchasing weapons, ammunition, explosives, and other ordnance from Iran, Syria, and (when Saddam was in power) Iraq to be used against the people of Israel.

Menachem Begin today is revered in Israel as a great leader and statesman. His name spoken reverentially in many Jewish circles, and the name Menachem has become one of the more popular names given to male children born in Jewish households rivaling even Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Begins legacy is assured.

On the other hand, the lack of honorariums to Arafat by even his own people; prior association with Arafat is becoming not only undesireable, but potentially fatal. Arafats legacy is also assured.

That's Lesson 1, Xiaoming.

There is only one stipulation, should you choose to respond. You must stick to the subjects of Begin and Arafat.

Any reference to AIPAC will disqualify you from any further participation and subject you to nightmares of Ariel Sharon and Bebe Netanyahu in drag doing you as you write your review of the experience.

Good work Doc, I didn't read it all, but I'm certainly impressed at the length.  Obviously a labor of Likud, er, excuse me, a labor of love on your part.  A day late but but not anything like a buck short.

You call that long? Good grief, you even keep a double standard on something as mundane as the length of a post.
Dude, if that's the best the opposition has to offer, I'm won't concern myself.

I stnd corrected Doc, it WAS NOT s long as I originally thought.

It just felt that way!

But stayed tuned.

I was busy eith your idol Benedict last night.  I'll get to this in good turn.  And I see your reim rooting section is back.

Good grief!  What next?

The Arabs declared War on Israel. Israel fought back. Israel conquored land. There are no occupied territories. These are lands acquired through military conquest.

And terse as ever!

Man, the gang's all here.  

Riem, what do you do with the other 9 fingers and 10 toes?

Don't forget to respond directly, which is generally NOT your habit.  Or I may be forced to scare you witless and send you another PM.  remember how you cried to TMT when i did that the last time.

don't they teach your courage in the IDF?  

Or does the lesson on "How To Inflict Wanton And Massive Colateral Damage On Pally Civilians And Others" come first?

Your thoughts, opinions, threats, whatever are fair game right here out in the open...

Really the only rule that there is no tolerance for breaking is exposing personal information about each other on this board... Everyone has their right to privacy of who ever they might be behind their username. (But not which username is hiding behind an alias, I sometimes expose that stuff so we can see who the two-faced snakes are among us!)

Believe me, my PM was about as "scary" as a newborne  sleeping peacefully in his crib.

Doc, take a gander at the link.  It's from an earlier post I wrote this summer with the very catchy title "Are Palestinians The New Native Americans?"  I don't know if you read it back in July, but this is one of the very few contributions I've made on the broad topic of the ME to which you did not offer any rebuttal or comment or insult.

To make a long story short, it's very skeptical of the "repeated"  Israeli "generous offers" to the aggrieved Pallys.   Using turgid prose, illustrations, quotations from experts and studies and documents, and the occasional chart and table and graph, it casts great and grave doubt upon the various Israeli offers from Oslo to Ehud Barak. Much of it is based on the research of Peace Now.  Certainly, they're not anti-Semitic?  But no doubt they are self-hating Jews I'm sure. But, i'm sure you're not interested as your mind is already made up.


Turning to murderous Menachem, I'm in mind of the truism that the winners write history.  Hey, if the Brits had managed to get their sweaty imperialist hands on him and his running mate Shamir, who'd ever have heard of them in this country except diehard Zionist hardliners like yourself?

Parents naming thier kids after him?  Do these good folks expect their boy welps to grow up to be short, not too good-looking, to wear coke bottle glasses and to effect the most riduculous Yiddish accent this side of Jackie Mason?   Oh hell, those poor kids! What unluck bastards.  I predicts years of psychoanalysis in their futures. Their folks undoubtedly mean well, but that what paves the road to Hell.

You seem troubled that i did not respond quickly.  Stop, I had other fish to fry with Benedict in Asia Minor.  Your playmates will just have to wait their turn.  I can't believe that my verbal drool is that important to you.

There's other stuff too, really parenthetical smartass stuff which you probably expect, but the angina pectoris has really increased in frequency and intensity the last several days, making concentration, vision and typing more difficult than I'd like.  Who knows, this might be the end of  little Xiaoming?  By Almighty Allah, say it isn't so.  Well, if you see a posthumous post, you'll know.

Time for the nitro.

Have a happy upcoming !!!  Good health to you, as I appear to be crapping out there the last several days.

I sincerely hope you are joking in regards to your health.
If not, I wish you a Refuah Shelaymah. A complete return to good health.

Are you aware there is no corresponding wish for a speedy recovery in Arabic? The closest to come is approximately "May your journey to Paradise be filled with glory and joy." or something like that. Its been awhile.
