In fact this 'discussion' ended when it started because your conclusions have not followed your premise and when brought to point and shown to be wrong you paste that irrelevant question to people who obviously have a balanced opinion, stance and one not festering with anti-Semitic bile. Semitic being BOTH Jew and Arab.

Once in a corner, argument exhausted, is that all you have THAT one question? Emotive posturing is not a valid component of discussion so... leave it out.

WP: Misinformed misinformation and fallacy aside it has been noted that in post after post how the adopted resolution by the General Assembly has been a corner stone of your 'argument' to seemingly justify the violence now in progress against the people of Gaza; why then, if this the Golden Chalice from which we should all drink, isn't Jerusalem an internationally administered city as stipulated in said proclamation? Is it because Israel has a 'special' right to exist?

That, my dear, says all Arabs and all Palestinians as you define these groups by the inclusive use of 'side'. It's not true. Neither is your beginning of a retraction quantifier 'most' but it's a start. Why should you retract? Because it's simply not true.

WP: You avoided answering to the fallacy that you are painting: that all Arabs and all Palestinians do not recognise Israel's right to exist. That, I write again, simply is not true. Retract that from your posts, admit that it's an inaccurate view and then we could touch on your --perhaps rather naive?-- solution of 'throwing out Hamas and all terrorists' from --lets stay focused on the thread for now-- Gaza.

Wolfpack: You're pushing forth a view held by a minority within a radicalised militant group as the voice cry of all Arabs and --especially-- Palestinians; it simply isn't true. Give a man a job, give his children safety, provide essential services such as clean water, electricity, sanitation and education and show everyone that it's OK to believe in a brighter future --along with other creature comforts such as a TV, a fridge-- and watch as any significant grass root support for war, battle, bombs, rockets and guns evaporates.

If the Israelis wish to establish peace and security for themselves then they must give the Palestinians cause not to radicalise; they must give them reason to be content. It is either that or eradicate them as a nation from the face of the earth. There are no shades here within which to formulate solutions: it is black and white. For the sake of us all... lets hope that the former prevails.

Who wrote about solution, my post was tempered with the word 'security'. You know, security AKA safety from rockets. This is not going to secure that.

SailWind: You will, as the current Israeli offensive will show, be proven wrong. Hamas, toast? Excuse me, your understanding of who supports them defies belief. Again, as many have stated, I again write, military operations will not bring either the security or peace the state of Israel yearns for.

At least you got the concept of 'trying' correct. They will 'try' but fail. Have tried for far more than 'years ago' --try decades-- to stamp on the Palestinians will and fight and... failed. Military operations will not bring peace.

Israel seems to believe that by inflicting suffering on the Palestinian civilian population that it will make them rise up against their leaders. This assumption has been continually proven wrong. Since the start of the Zionist presence in the land of Israel, no military operation has ever advanced dialogue with the Palestinians. None. Go after people threatening you by removing the cause; a collective punishment strategy does not, will not, achieve these goals. Certainly the economic blockade of Gaza has been a mistake too.

How is it totally, inconclusively any one groups fault? History has, if you were paying attention, taught us at least that.

He answered to a higher force in his eyes, a mistake. Even on Iraq --when asked as to if he'd spoken to his father about what he thought-- Shrub told how he spoke to a bigger father. He brushed and stroked with no attention to detail, a massive oversight; he reacted, worked with and went forth with The Light on gut instincts... jeeeez. He lied. I mean he told burger king size lies that have left tens if not hundreds of thousands of people dead. Is it any wonder the States is in a, well, state? Then the economy... and he's the first Prez of the US to have a 'degree' in business! HAAAAAA! Good riddance Shrub. You may well go and fall of the wagon yet; once (if) you start to think and ask, 'What have I done?' Doubt you'll get that far though. Duh!

Azrael, perhaps it was too subtle; as it is you who missed the point of the original post. It wasn't directed towards the production of food or resources but the 'system' of self-contained capitalism Japan has established, a loop of consumerism if you like, for example, as originally posted:

Japan has by far one of the most developed 'self-economies' amongst the industrialised nations. By far. The way it 'feeds itself' really is incredible, a real obvious example being the rate at which the Japanese are 'guided' through car usage. It is amazing. Japan has a firm foot to stand on, way ahead in diversifying its manufacturing base throughout the world, especially S.E. Asia. What is good for me is that this will scare those who see the Japanese economy as safe; they'll leave the Yen in droves and weaken it's relative value... beautiful equation of return.

They probably don't like that non-Japanese can see them spitting, urinating, violating traffic rules etcetera and generally finding that the Japanese aren't unique or special but just hum-drum humans like the rest of us.
