Meshaal told to choose between committing to Quartet's conditions and Bin Laden's fate

More Info: Israeli Palestinian Conflict, Nine Eleven

Is assassination becoming a popular way to deal with political problems? Israel thinks it is appropriate to assassinate a Hamas figurehead "the same way bin Laden was dealt with." No wonder we took such actions off limits. Hamas was democratically elected, but if you don't like the result of the ballot box, bullets rule. I think this is a slippery slope, folks.

Comment Reconstruction

During the discussion, a Facebook persona "Steve VonMaas" went into melt-down mode. Prior to this point, I had notified him of the rules of etiquette and asked him to reveal his employer and occupation. He would not directly answer those questions. After the meltdown, he deleted his comments. The deleted comments are highlighted

Gabriel Slatton Really it is nothing new at all Raymond. It's been the way of the world since the beganing in fact has it not?

Ray Lutz Indeed, I admit that even this sort of killing was taught repeatedly in biblical accounts. Kill the king, all his concubines, and all his offspring. Genocide, if you will. All biblical, all endorsed by religions "of the book"

Steve VonMaas ‎"religions of the book", Ray? Are you a Muslim now?

Gabe, Ray is still worked up over the whole shooting of John Wilkes Booth thing, so what do you expect?!

Gabriel Slatton Ray just refuses to get this simple concept Steve. He always has to complicate it for some reason.

Gabriel Slatton Yea we can take him down to the local Pub and order him the latest drink...It's called a Bin Laden.....two shots and a splash of water....LOL

Maribel Del Villar Pérez islam is also a religion of the book, steve.

Monday, May 9, 2011 at 7:12pm

---

Steve VonMaas -- Maribel, they have a book, but in that book, they refer to Jews and Bible-believers as "People of the Book" which appears to be a phrase Ray likes.

Monday, May 9, 2011 at 7:14pm

---

Maribel Del Villar Pérez i see what you refer to, i didn't know what you were talking about since jews also use that term.

May 9, 2011 at 7:21pm

---

Ray Lutz Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are technically all religions "of the book" and they all recount the creation myth substantially the same way (albeit with some very important differences). LDS church might be lumped into the same group.

Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:13pm

---

Voce Moody It is interesting to talk with a Jewish scholar like a Rabbi. Their take on the old testament would shock most Christians right out of their socks. They consider very little of it to be "Divinely Inspired"
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:13pm

---

Voce Moody They also talk about YHWH growing up over the time covered in their book
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:14pm

---

Gabriel Slatton That has always been the problem with the Jewish and other scholars. That is why Jesus took them to task all the time and why they wanted to kill him among other reasons.

Stephanie Jan Ousley so, where do we all meet? It's my birthday BTW, and I'm out with the fam for Thai
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:25pm

---

Pam Hoye True. The "Bible as Word of God" is essentially an aspect of Christian church doctrine, especially claimed by the more fundamentalist denominations. YHWH "growing up"....might be better understood as the evolution of human understanding of the Divine.
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:48pm

---

Voce Moody possible. they also talk about that but if you read the Jewish texts YHWH does change how it relates to humanity. And before anyone jumps me YHWH is genderless in the Hebrew texts
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 8:50pm

---

Michael Russell On the other hand, I don't like a lot of people ... hmmmm... this could be a lot easier than the 'democratic' change we've been hoping for. If it's good enough for Obama, and it is sanctioned by the church and the jews, that's good for me.

---

Michael Russell ‎(Yea, I worry myself) [satire] but when I think about all the inefficient time I waste trying to reach out to immature and irrational minds, and they are just going to destroy everything anyway, it just seems so much more efficient to use their own means against them. Armageddon is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Monday, May 9, 2011 at 9:26pm

---

Voce Moody ‎@ Gabriel Slatton I don't see what being "Civilized" has to do with believing the Bible there are many civilizations that do not recognize it as supreme. In point of fact there are many civilizations that have existed longer than Christianity or Judiasm that recognize either one as being the true way

Ray Lutz Steve, we went over this off-line. It is against the rules of my forums threads for you to get off on personal remarks. It is a fallacy of logic, the ad hominem attack, so please stick to the claims and not the person.
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 9:44pm

---

Steve VonMaas -- ‎"We are faced with the stark reality that these religions are probably the worst thing in our reality... no end of problems." But it's not against your rules to be an ignorant ass, is it?
Monday, May 9, 2011 at 9:45pm

Ray Lutz ‎ Voce Moody, Send it to raylutz@citizensoversight.org. Steve is unfriended and I'll block him. We just don't have time for this. I should have followed my intuition about the guy and unfriended him when he would not reveal who he works for.

My father's mother was Cherokee. My sister (was Valarie) follows that culture and changed her name to Rising Starr, per suggestion by Wilma Mankiller, leader of Cherokee Nation.

Ray Lutz Now I notice that Steve VonMass is no longer a "persona" on Facebook. My guess is he works for Blackwater, et al and came here to stir up trouble. He fits that mold... heavy on the Christianity, pro-military, etc. On his facebook page, there was a picture of him being sworn in by a judge. I'm probably going to resurrect the whole thing on my web site so people can see what we're up against here.
