Netanyahu Speech

[unregistered]

 

[Sean Renaud]

No one gave the Jews anything. They bought the land they settled.

Funny, that's not how the history books recorded it.

If a racist is one who acknowledges that some races are biologically superior to other races in the qualities that make for a thriving modern civilization, then one needs to lie in order not to be a racist.

What has Arab civilization achieved since the Mongol conquests of the thirteenth century?

Less than Israel has achieved since the foundation of modern Israel in 1948.

Except no race is biologically superior, the differences between the races are nonexistant when you get down to it.

What does it need to accomplish since the thirteenth century. I mean for starters that's entirely ignoring the Ottomans lasted until WW1 in one shape or form but your point is moot.

Netanyahu's speech to Congress has no plan and makes no sense

TWO THINGS PEOPLE ARE MISSING ABOUT NETANYAHU’S SPEECH: (1) He didn’t just make a case for why the U.S. should be harder on Iran. He made the case for unilateral Israeli military intervention too, sub silentio. (2) The most damaging thing to Obama here isn’t even the substance, but the contrast in style. Netanyahu, as someone said on Twitter, was better in his second language than Obama is in his first. And he presented himself as a leader who cares about his country, rather than one, like Obama, who makes excuses for its enemies.

Bravo Busybody! Well said!

"Jewish Genius," by Charles Murray

Except they aren't superior.

COMMENTARY has never published a systematic discussion of one of the most obvious topics of all: the extravagant overrepresentation of Jews, relative to their numbers, in the top ranks of the arts, sciences, law, medicine, finance, entrepreneurship, and the media...

As soon as Jewish children born under legal emancipation had time to grow to adulthood, they started appearing in the first ranks of the arts and sciences. During the four decades from 1830 to 1870, when the first Jews to live under emancipation reached their forties, 16 significant Jewish figures appear. In the next four decades, from 1870 to 1910, the number jumps to 40. During the next four decades, 1910–1950, despite the contemporaneous devastation of European Jewry, the number of significant figures almost triples, to 114...

Disproportionate Jewish accomplishment in the arts and sciences continues to this day. My inventories end with 1950, but many other measures are available, of which the best known is the Nobel Prize. In the first half of the 20th century, despite pervasive and continuing social discrimination against Jews throughout the Western world, despite the retraction of legal rights, and despite the Holocaust, Jews won 14 percent of Nobel Prizes in literature, chemistry, physics, and medicine/physiology. In the second half of the 20th century, when Nobel Prizes began to be awarded to people from all over the world, that figure rose to 29 percent. So far, in the 21st century, it has been 32 percent. Jews constitute about two-tenths of one percent of the world’s population. You do the math...

New York City’s public-school system used to administer a pencil-and-paper IQ test to its entire school population. In 1954, a psychologist used those test results to identify all 28 children in the New York public-school system with measured IQ’s of 170 or higher. Of those 28, 24 were Jews...

Insofar as I am suggesting that the Jews may have had some degree of unusual verbal skills going back to the time of Moses, I am naked before the evolutionary psychologists’ ultimate challenge. Why should one particular tribe at the time of Moses, living in the same environment as other nomadic and agricultural peoples of the Middle East, have already evolved elevated intelligence when the others did not?

At this point, I take sanctuary in my remaining hypothesis, uniquely parsimonious and happily irrefutable. The Jews are God’s chosen people.

Uranium enrichment.

Fuck you dunce. We saw more love for America coming from Bibi, than we do coming from Obama, the asshole you voted for. Massive standing O when he came into the chamber from both sides of the aisle, 40 times during his speech, and when he was finished. He sounded more presidential than Obama ever did.

I wasn't able to see the speech and heard just a little of it near the end, but vette's last sentence was spot on.

 

[The_Trouvere]

Except no race is biologically superior, the differences between the races are nonexistant when you get down to it.

I doubt if many people genuinely believe that. If those who pretend to believe it really did, they would allow a candid, and public debate, using scientific evidence, rather than shouts of "Racist!" and threats to destroy careers.

Great masterpiece!

Uranium enrichment.

Using technology invented in the West.

 

[cowslinger64]

I'd say those standing ovations came from 95% of the chamber and on both sides of the aisle. So, none are American, eh?

Seems they aren't. They've fought everything Obama has tried to accomplish starting before he was elected, yet had no problem cheering a foreign PM dictating what the US policy should be.

No.. They do not have American interests number one. Not one bit. Funny how elections have consequences when it suits you.

The racist shitstain didn't say that, though.

What, you think he just decided to stop using the N-word for President Obama all of a sudden?

If you're going to blow him for cutting and pasting, make sure you follow through with swallowing instead of spitting.

What people believe and the truth aren't always closely related. The science is in and there is no point in a public debate. You don't debate science.

 

[The_Trouvere]

You are seriously deluded if you think that the scientific evidence proves that the races are innately equal in average intelligence. There is really no evidence of innate racial equality. That is why the debate is coerced.

One can make excuses for the inferior average intellectual achievement of certain races. One cannot point to average scores on mental aptitude tests, achievement in school, and the ability of certain races to create viable societies.

The debate is coerced because racists likey ou keep it up.

There are no excuses for the average inteligence of various races, the culture is the problem.

This is probably the only time I'm enjoying Trouvy's one-trick-pony racist Bell Curved Aryan Nation cock-stroking shitting in Vetteman's Republican erectile tissue thread fail and making it even more of a crap festival.

Thank you Khomeini KO for the timely anti-Semitic pro Iran response.

Rabbi Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun, also writes:

And this will be a huge disaster for the Jewish people. Americans will quickly see that the resulting war was brought about by those who wanted to put the supposed (though mistaken) interests of Israel above the interests of Americans. The outcome could well be a new flourishing of anti-Semitism in our society that has, since the end of the Second World War, managed to keep our home-grown anti-Semites out of positions of power. As American casualties increase, and Iranian terrorists strike inside the U.S., the anger will almost certainly explode against Jews, whereas it should be only directed at the militarists who once again lead us into war.

What if Iran actually did develop nuclear weapons? Is there any reason to believe that they would use them against Israel or the U.S.? The Iranian mullahs are willing to torture and oppress their own people and pursue policies I deplore toward Baha’I and other religious minorities. But they are not a self-destructive lot. They managed to end the hostage crisis in 1980 in a deal cut by America’s militaristically inclined Reagan regime, and they have backed away from wars with other countries. They will continue their attempts at subversion, just as the U.S. continues to try to subvert governments we don’t like (most recently in Venezuela, but in many other places around the globe as well). But they do know full well that a nuclear strike at Israel would lead to Israel using its current stockpile of 200 nuclear weapons to completely wipe out Iran. The mullahs want to preserve their Islamic regime and spread it, not end it in one spasm of death and destruction.

That’s why, even if the Iranians did develop nuclear weapons, they would only be joining a world where the U.S. has ten thousand of these or more, and where India and Pakistan also already have these weapons. The Soviets under Stalin were just as much a threat to our security, talked about “burying the U.S. and capitalism,” but of course never used their nukes because they knew the consequences. It is only the U.S. that has ever used nukes, and that was before we realized others could have them too.

I hope we won’t have to live with that situation. The Obama Administration is moving in the right direction to try to avoid it, creating safeguards and serious inspection regimens for Iran. But they may fail as long as Iranians feel that the U.S. is under the sway of Israelis like Netanyahu. Obama is offering something to the Iranians, but my fear is that it is too little, too late. Netanyahu and the Israelis who support him are not the only paranoid force in the Middle East.

What is really needed is a dramatic break from the way the U.S. (and Israel) have dealt with those whom we believe do or might threaten us. For 5,000 years “the realists” have preached war or other forms of domination and power-over others as the path to security. And it hasn’t worked. Over and over again those who believe that whoever they’ve decided is “the enemy” of the day can only be dealt with by force (economic, diplomatic, cultural but ultimately military) have ended up in devastating wars.

There are no excuses for the average inteligence of various races, the culture is the problem.

Culture can change in a generation. Genetic aptitudes require at least a thousand years to change, usually more.

If the inferior average intellectual performance of certain races - and one race in particular - was caused by cultural differences, we would find that racial differences are more variable.

An inferior culture does not create an inferior race. An inferior race creates an inferior culture everywhere it lives, and everywhere it moves.

On the other hand, a superior race creates a superior culture everywhere that race lives and moves, even when members of the race are poor and discriminated against.

 

[cowslinger64]

Actually it's Obama operating against American interests.

This stupidity is a fine example of why you shouldn't be attempting to talk down to me... Or anyone for that matter.

Culture can change in a generation, however in reality it doesn't. That's simply not how it works. Genetic appitudes, if such a thing existed (and they don't) would likely take hundreds of thousands of years to change if you could even do it.

There are no inferior races nor superior. But an inferior culture would make for an "inferior" race and. . .god you're fucking stupid. You honestly don't realize that the Sahara is what made blacks "inferior" to whites and Asians? Native Americans are cut from the same stock as Asians they accomplished. . .well I guess we can point to Aztecs and Mayans if we want to dig but not much after that. Aborigines didn't exactly get far either. The reality is that without shared knowledge everybody hits a stumbling point. Switch Israelies with Aborigines and you'd get the same result.

Why should one particular tribe at the time of Moses, living in the same environment as other nomadic and agricultural peoples of the Middle East, have already evolved elevated intelligence when the others did not?

If the Jews were so superior, how come they never managed to establish something like a state comparable to the Greek or the Roman or the British Empire? How come they're so damn unable to achieve peace with their neighbours like any 3-man-no-military state is able to do? How come most people in the world speak English, Spanish or Portuguese, though Portugal has only negligible more people than Israel (8 millions, to 10 millions in Portugal)? I mean, the Roman Empire is dead, but there's still a lot of people speaking Latin, especially in science! Why isn't Hebrew the science's language? Today's numerological characters are from the Arabs system, we even use some from the Old Rome. Why not the Jewish one, though theirs must be much older and more "intelligent"?

 

[RjThoughts]

The opposition party invites a sitting head of state to talk to Congress and this is a good thing?

In certain circles, that's akin to treason.

And as for the speech, it was simple and pure political bullshit!!

 

[PoppingTom]

An inferior race creates an inferior culture everywhere it lives, and everywhere it moves.

You're talking about English people?

 

[Sean Renaud]

Actually it's Obama operating against American interests.

You understand of course that Obama's interests and Americas are one and the same until he leaves office right? That he literally cannot operate against American Interests because he is the leader.
