Israel Thrives: Note: (Updated)

Note: (Updated)

Karam

I am in the process of trying to add nested comments to Israel Thrives and the process seems to have accidentally deleted comments.

Do me a favor and try to comment under this post so that I can see just what is going on with this.

Thanks,

Karam

Updates:

The new comments system seems to be working just fine.

The "recent comments" list is functioning again and I was able to restore the comments from previous weeks.

One significant difference is that in the comments, the most recent comments are at the top of the page rather than at the bottom of the page. I do not think that this is a problem, tho.

If you guys have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Second Update:

It seems as if the "recent comments" list is only accepting my comments for some reason. I'll work on it.

Third:

I switched "Recent Comments" to a Disqus widget which seems to have resolved the problem. In fact, the "recent comments" list is much improved, in my opinion.

I believe that we are good to go.

Looks like "recent comments" may have kicked back in.

So making the switch caused the comments to vanish?

It seemed to, but I was able to restore almost all of the comments from previous weeks.

Let me know what you think, school, about the new system.

Of course I will. EoZ uses it also now. I find it a bit cumbersome, but it has a nice interface. A bit hard to make edits, at least on my computer where it shows a very small window of text.

Was it hard to get it up and running. Can you change back if you like?

Yeah, I suppose I could switch back if I want to, but I kinda like it. I like the nesting function. I like the "recent comments" list and I like the fact that I can edit comments without deleting those comments.

So, for the time being, at least, I think we should keep the new system. I do agree that the edit box is too small, tho. That's quite true.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
