In Hamas TV show, Gaza children sing praises of suicide bombing
You don't see shira out of the Israeli/Pali forum much. SHe is the one supporter of the Jewish State on DU and gets hammered for it. She shares this news story complete with link.
However, being the DUmp, she is called out for being a dirty jOOOOOOOOOO lier.

MEMRI offers specialized content for a fee. Critics charge that it aims to portray the Arab and Muslim world in a negative light, through the production and dissemination of inaccurate translations and through selectivity in choosing extreme views to publicize.

43. You have the tropes down pat.
I say that Palestinians have the right to resist a decades long occupation/siege which continuously "cleanses" them from their land and essential resources (esp. water) as the oppressors annex it, and which leaves them under seige in a tiny area of Gaza where 80% are refugees and the necessities for life are successively destroyed and denied.
I know you don't give a shit about the conditions Gazans live in, and you don't take a bit of credit for the destruction of the social/political infrastructure that you promote. That whole realm is outside your universe of thought. So I know there's no ****ing way to get through to a person like you, to explain why the people you and yours are killing slowly but surely resist, and have a right to resist.
It's always the same when reading/listening to you and yours, you present the spirit of resistance that always exists so long as the oppressed continue to have hope, in their besieged ghettos, as sufficient reason for continuing and furthering the pogrom, the racist crime -- until that hope is entirely extinguished.
OK, I kinda know where you are at, holdencaufield.
Was that last sentence some sort of threat?

41. Seems its good enough for Thomas Friedman.
Thomas L. Friedman, a political opinion columnist for The New York Times, has praised MEMRI, and has credited MEMRI with helping to "shine a spotlight on hate speech wherever it appears." Friedman has written in The New York Times that "what I respect about Memri is that it translates not only the ugly stuff but the courageous liberal, reformist Arab commentators as well." In addition, he has cited MEMRI's translations in his op-eds.

That won't be aloud to stand...

45. "Thomas Friedman, Iraq war booster"...

Need anything more be said about "Thomas Friedman"? I'm sure he has his own special table at the AIPAC dinners.
"Thomas Friedman, Iraq war booster"...
At the end of May 2003, America was on the verge of one of its longest-running, most expensive wars in Iraq. Yet Iraq war boosters were feeling vindicated by the swift march on Baghdad, which had fallen within weeks, and the swift collapse of the regime.
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, a fan of the Iraq war, appeared on Charlie Rose to crow about this rousing success on May 29 2003. The brief clip below from that interview (the full interview can be found here) is a fascinating glimpse into the id of Washington insiders like Friedman before the invasion in March of that year and for the first few months, at least, of what was to prove a long occupation.
He appears to still think it was the right choice. He wrote last June, in a column on Syria, that: "You can’t go from Saddam to Switzerland without getting stuck in Hobbes — a war of all against all — unless you have a well-armed external midwife, whom everyone on the ground both fears and trusts to manage the transition. In Iraq, that was America" and "the only reason Iraq has any chance for a decent outcome today is because America was on the ground with tens of thousands of troops to act as that well-armed midwife, reasonably trusted and certainly feared by all sides, to manage Iraq’s transition to more consensual politics."

Yes, because he supported the war in Iraq, Thomas is a lier too. These DUmpmonkiez make me sick.
