Haystack - More bullshit from that's you probably not worth reading.

I'm wondering whether you're ever going to even attempt to defend your earlier 'fact' where you claimed that hardly any rockets are now being fired from gaza into Israel? Or whether you'll retract that statement as the bullshit that it was?

Until you do one or the other, so far as I'm concerned, your credibility is at zero. And falling. So there's no point reading anything else you post.

I do regard the numbers as hardly any. It is also nothing compared to the damage done by Israel, the torture of prisoners, the illegal occupation. the illegal building and the war crimes.

I don't expect you to read my posts. You are too full of the Israeli bs that even Israeli citizens are now complaining about.

I do regard the numbers as hardly any.

50 rockets/mortars and more a month? Hardly any? You're a fool Haystack. You have no grasp of reality. Words fail me.

Most of them do little or no damage. Even the ones that do are nothing compared to what Israel is doing. Do you expect the Gaza residents to sit by while Israel builds illegally on their land? They are just fighting back. It is the same situation as when the founders if Israel behaved as terrorists, except they did far more harm. Israel's policies are just generating more hate and voilence. Israel is condemned to a permanent state semi-war for generations to come. Groups like Hamass are getting more politically smart and are beginning to isolate Israel. Israel'sonly answer is to pay back ten times what they get. It is a fatally flawed starategy and will end in disaster.

Gausie - perhaps we should fire a few rockets a month into Haystack's garden and maybe some into his front garden as well. Doubt we'll hit anything as he will be too scared to step out very often after the first few. If he complains we can just say it is hardly any and no damage done.

That was the sort of illogical response I would expect from a supporter of Israel. Suggest firing rockets at someone because you don't agree with their point of view. There is a considerable difference. Israel has done plenty of things that provoke such a response. There is a strong connection with Israel's policies and the firing of rockets. Israel is going to have to negociate with Hamas at some stage like it or not.

Haystack - Isaacs' point illustrates well the fatuousness of your argument.

And for heavens sake, ask your bright adopted son how to spell "negotiate".

I think Isaac's point illustrates the illogicality of Israel's argument. It is similar to a murderer, who complains about his penalty. And by the way 'Isaacs' should have had an apostrophe as in Isaac's. You either check your spelling and grammar as poorly as I do or you don't understand punctuation rules.

Hays - if you're going to moan about apostrophes, at least put yours in the right place.

Actually, Haystack, if his bb name was 'Isaac', then "Isaac's" would be correct, but as it's "Isaacs", then both Isaacs' and Isaacs's could be deemed correct, depending on style preferences. (reference)

Either way Gausie has it wrong. At least mine was correct.

Kayak has always been the chief officer of the punctuation police.

Lol - haystack, double check. Both Jonathan and I have pointed out that yours was incorrect. You're incorrigible! You're forever making stuff up and quoting it as fact.

Kayakdo you post on advfn on the blnx thread?

'Haystack - Isaacs' point '

Looks good to me.

And I heard Kayak was on holiday, so I'm covering for him.

Mine is only incorrect if you know that his name is Isaacs. I asumed it was Isaac. but of course yours was wrong either way. Mine was grammatically correct and your was incorrect no matter what his name was.

Haystacks you wont beat Gausiehes Jewish!

But we do know his name is "Isaacs" - it says so on the top of everything he posts (else it would be an anonymous bulletin board).

So, " Isaacs' " is grammatically correct and, regardless of style preference, " Isaac's " is incorrect.

Just sayin'.

But Idid not know his name was Isaacs. And regardless of style preference Gausie's

"Isaacs point illustrates" is always wrong. I notice that he has edited his post now in deference.

I think something you hae to accept is that Haystacks' is never wrong, or at least rarely admits' to being so. Its' why s'ensible debate on this thread is' nigh on imposs'ible!

Did I get my apostrofees' in the right place?
