Our own Varek Raith made this comment, in which he accuses me of creating a list of “Enemies of Free Speech,” but after perusing my posts here on LGF, I cannot seem to locate such a list.
Anyone have any ideas?
Varek?
Bueller?
Those who up-dinged his comment?
I’ll check in later or tomorrow, see if this mysterious list has been proven to exist.

He made an open accusation, then didn't back it up. How else do you think I should address it? Seriously.

Yes, you should address it seriously. It wasn't posted here, but many of us saw a link to it here. I'm not going to find it for you.

Nope, the first link was just to note your hypocrisy, the second was related to Varek's "reality". But, hey, you've already dug yourself a hole, so by all means keep digging yourself in deeper.

It's not even a question of "might have". If you mouse over the names on the list, you'll see that Charles' name is linked to his comment referencing the Condell video. So he thanked Charles, then apparently went and posted that crap.

What the fuck happened to you? You used to be a rational, interesting and insightful commenter. Now you're just acting like a sniveling, slithering turd. You're actually harming whatever cause it is you think you're advancing. You're well on your way to becoming the antithesis of hasbara, some kind of proto Kahanist.
In a more perfect world, Judea and Samaria would be annexed and be made into a greater Israel. It's their land, after all.
I'm curious as to what, in this "more perfect world," happens to the Palestinians living there?

What stands out to me is that EI stewed on that for almost four whole days before posting his little "Traitors to Free Speech" list. That's a really passive aggressive and pathetic way to deal with a grudge.

Just in case anyone missed it in my comment in the other thread, he was also pretty smug about stirring things up at LGF over Rachel Corrie back in August as evidenced by his "anonymous" comment on this post at the blog where he apparently gets many of the stories for his Pages.

They continue living there. Like the million plus other Arab Palestinians who live in Israel.
They go about their daily lives, shop at Israeli malls, use Israeli services, frequent Israeli restaurants and bars, send their children to study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and receive Israeli social and health benefits. Exactly as they do right now.
Maybe they apply for and obtain Israeli passports.

This is a video summary/interview of "The Kid From Brooklyn." brought to you by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers or IBEW.
It shows how he got started and what he does. He is a bit of a cartoon character, that is for sure. There does not seem to be any research done ahead of time, he just starts talking on a subject and lets you know what he thinks. Sometimes it might be pretty ignorant. However that could be said of Howard Stern just as easily.

Like any democracy, if they are citizens.
They have the right to apply for citizenship. Even if they don't they are entitled to municipal services, and have municipal voting rights.
There are more than a million Arab Palestinian Israeli citizens in Israel. They have more rights (voting included) than any of their Arab brothers and sisters in Arab Muslim countries.
| 66 |
Buck Thu, Dec 13, 2012 6:05:51pm |
Arab citizens in Israel (about 20% of the total population) are granted the same rights as Jewish citizens under law.
I am surprised you don't know that?
Abdel Rahman Zuabi, a Muslim from northern Israel, was the first Arab on the Israeli Supreme Court.
Right now Israeli Supreme Court judge Salim Joubran is an Arab Palestinian.

re: #66 Buck
Arab citizens in Israel (about 20% of the total population) are granted the same rights as Jewish citizens under law.
I am surprised you don't know that?
I do know that. I also know that there's an upper limit on the number of non Jewish Arabs Israel can absorb and remain a majority Jewish state. The Arab citizens of Israel were made citizens because of the laws in place during the handover from the British.
Such denizens who were still within the territorial confines of Israel after the war were granted full Israeli citizenship. In order to determine who was eligible for citizenship under this provision, the state of Israel conducted a population registration in 1952 and again in the 1980s. Those found to meet the requirements obtained Israeli citizenship. For purposes regarding modern Israeli citizenship, this section is usually irrelevant.
Like any democracy, if they are citizens.
They have the right to apply for citizenship. Even if they don't they are entitled to municipal services, and have municipal voting rights.
So if Judea and Sumeria are annexed shouldn't citizenship be granted automatically? The borders will have expanded to absorb the population in situ.
I understand that currently Israeli citizenship is granted on the basis of jus sanguinis and not jus solis. Naturalization for non Jewish residents is at the sole discretion of the Ministry of Interior. Additionally, under current law Palestinians who marry Israeli citizens are banned from attaining citizenship themselves.
Therefore it's reasonable to believe, should annexation occur, that significant hurdles exist to Israel simply absorbing the Palestinian population like they did previously with the Arabs already within their borders at the time of the nation's founding.

re: #67 goddamnedfrank
You make a whole bunch of assumptions and guesses about this.
Should Israel be able to decide what the rules are regarding citizenship? Doesn't every country reserve that right?
I also know that there's an upper limit on the number of non Jewish Arabs Israel can absorb and remain a majority Jewish state. The Arab citizens of Israel were made citizens because of the laws in place during the handover from the British.
I say both of those assertions are false.
You assume these things. Would the arabs had been made citizens even if the British laws (that were hopelessly biased against Jews) were not in place?
You assume not, I assume so.

Automatically. They don't attain citizenship automatically.
This was used as a loop hole to get suicide bombers closer to their target.
Before that took effect, twenty Arab Palestinians with Israeli identity cards who were either married to Israelis or the offspring of such a marriage were suspected or proven ties to terrorist activities.
The idea of being more careful is a defensive action.
