Thread: Jerusalem families waiting for US action

Started 4 months, 2 weeks ago by subsuelo
In the early morning hours of Sunday, 2 August, a force of hundreds of police and border guards invaded the quiet East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah and systematically evicted the sleeping Hanoun and Gawi families from their homes. The sun dawned upon a new reality: chaos in the streets, children crying and elders in anguish. The police blocked ...

Then again, its EI, we should know better and have diminished expectations from them

aranthus replied 4 months, 2 weeks ago
EI wouldn't want that.

perhaps a message board "generally supportive of progressive ideals" isn't for you? Who We Are : Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Members are expected to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, and to support Democratic candidates for political office. http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules. html

Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 03:04 PM by subsuelo when I want to hear right-wing justifications for kicking families out of their homes, I'll turn to you for sources. Deal?

oberliner replied 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Since EI has consistently been antagonistic towards Democratic candidates for political office, including our current president.

subsuelo replied 4 months, 2 weeks ago
There goes your theory

oberliner replied 4 months, 2 weeks ago
They are disdainful of such a concept and have great vitriol for any attempts by Obama or, for that matter, Abbas, in that particular direction.

I don't think it's fair for you to attack that person for citing that source when you used the source that you did. That is my only point here.

While I was sitting here wondering to myself how many people would believe they had a handle on my politics and my occupation if I changed my username to 'Right-leaning Astrophysicist', I did think that you were being too hard on the mods. They definately don't encourage demonisation of any ethnic, religious or cultural group, and my experience has been that they do quickly delete posts that contain bigoted or hateful comments....

Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 07:40 AM by shira In fact, Hamas and Fatah are about as REGRESSIVE as it gets. EI's articles are not significantly different than the state-run newspapers within Gaza and the W.Bank and that's a fact. ========== Going further, Likud's platform that is without question rightwing but also democratic in general, is at least 10x more "progressive" than the Fatah/Hamas party line (that makes any...

Or its writers. They've been backing the Dark Side ever since our party dared to defy them and not nominate Scoop Jackson for president...thirty-seven freaking years ago. Before that, Commentary cheered for Daley and the cops in Chicago. And they loved them every bomb ever dropped on Vietnam. And after that they loved them a mess of Contras.

that could be considered "progressive" or worthy of the title of "professor" or "historian" as its previous but widely discredited nick used. Maybe the "professor" can pont to one or two posts that are marginally progressive in some slight way at best, and since I don't read all of DU, there may be one or two, but none I've noticed so far. But this is the one forum where the moderator...
