Hey guys there will be a rally in New York City:
Tens of thousands of Jews and other supporters of Israel will attend the Standing Together with the People of Israel Solidarity Rally.
It will take place on Sunday September 23rd, at 1PM.
The Standing Together With the People of Israel Solidarity Rally will be held in close proximity to the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The entrance to the rally will be at 47th Street; the site of the rally can be entered from Third Avenue or from First Avenue through Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza.

Hey book a place for me!! I am there.
We have got to prove that US is the ONLY Israel supporter, even though Israel has no oil to buy friends.

will there be punch and pie?

[Burzhui]

i guess there will be food, can't promise you pie though :D

I wouldn't be caught there. The chances for a violent altercation are very high. There is a good chance that someone might take it into their sick head that it would be a good place for an explosion.

[Burzhui]

I already thought of that, but you know what i will still go cause it's for a good cause

[Lolita]

Burzhui, u're going to the rally? Maybe we can meet up, I also live in New York.

Well likely it won't be a palestinian terrorist. That's why the rally isn't being held at an Elementary school or a pizza parlor. Otherwise, the PLO might think of bombing it.

good one TLG, it's sad how it's true, but a good one nontheless

why must you two always insult palestinians and others? The arguements are over and yet as much as everyone here has tried to make peace you two still enjoy throwing around hurtful and hateful comments. No one on this board, palestinian or of other background has ever commited an act such as blowing up inocent people so why do you feel the need post comments such as that. Even if they are jokes, not everyone appreciates them. So I ask you... Please Keep your nonproductive and insulting comments to yourself.

1. How do you know that "no one on this board... commited an act.."?

If you have such psychic prowess, you certainly could have saved the FBI some time when they began harassing me.

2. Who exactly is the comment "hateful" to?

Are you a supporter of terrorists?
Do you believe that suicide bombers have any justification?

I submit that the only one that would take offense are those who are committing these heinous acts and you claimed that no one on these boards did that.

3. What if any "laws" were violated?

I would submit that Brandenburg vs. Ohio (and its progeny) is the authoritative case on point. If you review my previous comments on the issue of free speech and these boards, you will see a reasonable analysis of this issue.
I have also drafted legal memos on these issues for several major bulletin board systems and so I believe I am fairly familiar with the laws related to the subject.

4. What joke?

How is the death of innocent people a joke?
Have I ever laughed or in any way indicated that I thought it was funny?

I can appreciate your concerns, but unfortunately, I don't believe they apply here.

[Burzhui]

TLG pretty much said what i wanted to say except he did it faster... i think i was asleep when he wrote that.

But no matter who has written it, he is right nothing from that paragraph applies to his previous comment.

TLG, That was a pretty low blow. Hapoo was right about it being hatefull, freedom of speach is not an issue. The terms of service are. Brewmaster toned down his comments in the interest of maintaining a peaceful community. The other poster "Mat" is obviously an outsider and is not relivant to this comunity. Are you willing to make the same concession to keep the peace, or are you determined to prove them right by refusing to make any reasonable compromise?

[TheLoneGunman]

How's this for a concession...

To the best of my knowledge, at the present time, no "regular participant" on either side of the debate has either participated in or advocated the harm or death of any "non-combatant" in the Middle East or other parts of the world.
As such, condemnation of such acts is aimed at the advocates and participants and NOT at the writers on this board.
I would also be open to meeting with anyone on this board in almost any forum and discussing these issues.

Finally, I have always made it my practice to discourage the escalation of violence and would assist any law enforcement or others in the prosecution of anyone who would suggest violence towards the person or property of any board member here (no matter what side they were on)
