re: #85 Buck

You paraphrase and exaggerate what I said.

Not at all relevant to the discussion.

I don’t think the second part is true, and the first part is not relevant.

No I did not lie. You interpret it differently. You think of Hamas as simply a terrorist group. They are that and much more. There are members of Hamas that are social workers, and teachers. Like the former Soviet Union, membership has it’s privileges. There are others who call Gaza Hamasistan… You don’t feel that way. Fine. But not a lie.


I explain that above. Yes, I think Gaza = Hamas. You don’t.

I state that Israel is on this list, AND that would make Israelis subject to this policy.

I stated that “persons must have committed a crime before they can be rightfully detained by police officers.” All of those words in place, yes I stand by that. It is not a lie. A lawful STOP, DETENTION OR ARREST made by a law enforcement official IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OTHER LAW does not include stopping people on the street and just demanding their papers.

You said, “The law requires police officers, “when practicable,” to detain people they reasonably suspect are in the country without authorization and to verify their status with federal officials”. In fact a lawful STOP, DETENTION OR ARREST MUST be made by a law enforcement official IN THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OTHER LAW first.

Saying today that Gaza= Hamas is like saying in 1944 that German = Nazi.
