The Palestinians will not be satisfied until the state of Palestine supplants the State of Israel and every last Jew is gone.
If only Israel.
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard a sentence begin with these three words over the years, especially where it concerns Jewish settlements.
If only Israel dismantled the settlements then peace would reign in the Middle East.
President Obama not only buys into this line of reasoning lock, stock and barrel, he believes the settlements themselves are illegitimate. As he told an audience in Cairo last week:
Israelis must acknowledge that just as Israel's right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine's. The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop.
So while the aspirations of Palestinian terrorists are legitimate the aspirations of law-abiding Jewish settlers are not.
But what Obama wants Obama gets. In Obama's world the settlements are a nuisance. Once they are dismantled then flowers will bloom from the desert, the Mediterranean Sea will rise and the Egyptian pyramids will gaze upon him with wonder. But if President Obama honestly believes the dismantling of Jewish settlements will suddenly bring about peace then he is a bigger fool then even I could have imagined. Should this come to pass President Obama will find out the dismantling of settlements won't dismantle the hatred of Israel.
Western liberal apologists for the Palestinians tell us they are suffering. Insufferable would be a more apt description. Their grievances are never-ending and it will certainly not stop with the dismantling of Jewish settlements.
There is the matter of the security fence. When the settlements are gone we will hear Palestinians compare the security fence to the Berlin Wall. Never mind the Berlin Wall kept people in East Germany while the security fence keeps suicide bombers out of Israel. But to liberals in the West, the security fence is an "apartheid wall." If only Israel tore it down then all would be well. Or would it?
There is also the matter of Jerusalem. Not merely East Jerusalem but all of Jerusalem including the Old City. The Palestinians have this notion that Jews have no claim to Jerusalem. Dr. Tayseer Al-Tamimi, Chief Justice of the Shari'a courts in the Palestinian Authority, said, "Jerusalem is the religious, political and spiritual capital of Palestine – the Jews have no right to it." This is the same Tayseer Al-Tamimi who accused Jews of murdering women, children and the elderly in the presence of Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to Israel last month. If Palestinians aren't prepared to include Israel on their maps what makes anyone think they would want to actually live next to Israel? But to liberals in the West, by not permitting the Palestinians to have Jerusalem as their capital Israel is practicing intolerance. If only Israel gave up Jerusalem all would be well. Or would it?
It's not like Israel hasn't dismantled settlements before. Maybe President Obama has a short memory or perhaps just a selective one. For the record, Israel evacuated all of its settlements in the Gaza Strip during their unilateral withdrawal in August 2005. Gaza is Judenrein. One would think that might have brought Israel some good will amongst the Palestinians. Instead, Israel was rewarded with rocket attacks and the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit. Can Israel expect more of the same when it is compelled to evacuate its settlements in the West Bank? It's funny how President Obama demands the end of Jewish settlements but doesn't demand the release of Corporal Shalit by the Palestinians. But pressuring the Palestinians doesn't buy Obama goodwill in the Muslim world. Besides it's so much easier to blame Israel.
So what will happen to the land once settled by Jews? It will become unsettled, of course. When settlers were forced to evacuate Gaza, greenhouses that had fed families and provided a viable economy were turned to rubble by Palestinian looters while depriving other Palestinians of work.
The truth is that Israel could dismantle every last outpost, tear down the security fence and give up Jerusalem and for Palestinians it would be as if nothing happened. As long as there is an Israel that exists in any form there will still be Palestinian grievances of one kind or another. They would find something to be angry about. Meanwhile, liberals in the West would say, "If only Israel wasn't Jewish." As far as the Palestinians are concerned all of Israel is a Jewish settlement. The Palestinians will not be satisfied until the state of Palestine supplants the State of Israel and every last Jew is gone.
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
still on the garden rake?
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
maybe you should call out for supernatural help, and stop all the weeping and whining.
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
Now Mr. G. gets metaphysical and philosophical about his “rabid jew nazisraelis”. Can supercilious and epistemological be far behind?
Now for my real good thinking Guillaume-inspired quote:
“The fundamental dividing point in life is not whether someone is young or old, male or female, black or white, or even Liberal or Conservative. Rather, as we form judgments about other people with whom we have contact, it involves an answer to a simple question. “Is that person an a**hole?”
And I don’t do my own gardening. I have Mexicans for that. The “rabid jew nazisraelis” are too busy taking over the world to cut my lawn or rake my leaves.
“You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can’t make them think.”
I know I’m late to the party here, but I have had a lot of laugh-out-loud fun reading the “Wisdom of Guillaume.”
In the new tradition of ending a post with a quasi-profound quote, I submit the following:
“When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Guillaume, get a clue.
I don’t have anything to add, but I have another profundity:
“Yer momma don’t dance and yer daddy don’t rock and roll.”
MM: Per Mr. G’s lead, you don’t really have to “add” anything of value to enter the discussion, since most of what he says is banal tripe anyway, and just an excuse to repeat this signature pseudo-intellectual slogan.
Mr. Guillaume:
I took your advise and tried to spot me one of them jews like you did with your prick on the road to Damascus. I think I done it wrong, though, and was wondering if you could give me a few pointers with that real good thinking of yours.
Last night I wrassled my friend Hymie to the ground and tried to cover him with a clear coat of Sherwin Williams Misty Green, but he took real unkindly to that. Hymie, he’s one of them good jews who would never go nazisraeli on you, but he did start to cuss me somethin’ awful, and I had to switch to a roller instead of a brush to finish the job.
So I ask you, the real good thinker that you is, does this make Hymie one of them rabid-type jews you done warned us about, since he’s threatened to punch me in the face if I ever come near him again with a dropcloth and stirring stick? I’d hate to think this is all because his aka god told ‘em to act so uncharitable like them rabid jews you keep tellin’ us about but can’t figger out how to actually identify.
Jest wonderin’.
“Asking the humorless to recognize humor is like asking the turgid to think. It can be done, but always painfully.”
“I thought I was a thinker, but I thought wrong. But then I realised that I was wrong about that, which makes me smart.”
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
So do you like to date men? Are you and hymie a couple? Did you have hymie consent before you started the foreplay with him? Or have you just claimed that god has given you the right cover hymie’s body with toxic paint? If the latter is case then I can assure that hymie has enough reason to be angry, and you are the rabid mate!
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
Guillaume appears to be fixated on sex. I guess that means he’s a Christian?
Mr. Guillaume:
My friend Hymie is an attractive feller I’ll admit, but any thoughts I had along those lines was put on hold when you told us ignurant folk about them rabid jews who go naziarali on people from time to time.
About your interest in knowing my reasons for painting Hymie with a pint of Sherwin Williams, far as I can recollect aka god never said anything one way or the other on makin’ Hymie one of them spotted jews you told us all about. I is jest an ignorant feller who is trying real hard to think real good like you, and foller yer example whenever I can. You are my inspiration for so many things.
Come to think of it, though, that is exactly the same kind of thing my friend Richard Edward — we call him Dick Ed — asked me when I told him the same story. Do you know dick? I don’t think you know dick, but I could be wrong. Don’t be offended though. There’s lots of people across the pond who speak the language of the bard who don’t seem to know dick about a lot of things.
Anyway, please don’t think poorly of me for cavorting with a spotted jew when you done warned us about them rabid nazisralis what wants to take over the world.
Now to close with my real smart intyellektual quote.
“Don’t drop the soap ‘round none of them spotted jews”
MM: Isn’t it interesting that the enlightened, “intellectual”, morally superior French think that asking someone if he’s gay is an insult?
I’ve never asked anybody about their sexual orientation (or religion for that matter), either in a public forum or my personal life. It’s never been a concern to me, or anyone else here at the Intellectual Conservative. Debating ideas with a homosexual or heterosexual, religious person or atheist, is irrelevant. It the positions they advocate (and the racial/sexual/religious slurs they use to make their points) that’s the focus of the conversation.
The only people who focus on the sexual preferences of others and what religion they belong to are Liberals.
Phil,
It isn’t possible for a leftist to be a bigot. Guillaume can write whatever he wants, as long as he remains more tolerant and open-minded than you are.
He is, after all, your moral and intellectual superior.
> as long as he remains more tolerant and open-minded than you are.
MM: Just as long as they aren’t rabid and/or spotted jew nazisraelis who happen to be gay. :)
I gotta give credit where credit is due, and thank Guillaume for an incredible wealth of material I can now use in my future conversations with Left-leaning pseudo-intellectuals who speak the language of the bard.
As the “official writer” of the website, you’d think that the G-man would have figured out that my style is to take the exact language and imagery of the racists, bigots and now homophobes who drop in from time to time and literally beat them over the head with their own words. Three years ago it was the crazy Right with their “race matters” bilge. More recently it’s the folks suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome who use morally equivocal logical to press their points.
But now, with Guillaume, I have a treasure trove of new words and imagery to play with. “Rabid jews” (where do we get our shots if bitten?), “spotted jews” (sounds like an anti-Semitic ornithologist’s wet dream), “nazisrael” (how amazingly original), and now gay-bashing — all from the self-superior self-promoted Real Good Thinker.
And the end quotes: What a gift from “aka god” that is. I’m about 1/3 of the way through my “Words to Live By” list I published a couple of months ago. Who’d have thunk one man could cross-pollinate so many illustrations of my thesis?
But best of all is the opportunity to invoke Dick Ed in all his manifestations to allow the Left to edjukate us poor ignurant con-servatives. What a hoot! My only fear is that there will still be a lot of new material to play with in July when I’m gone for most of that month, and will have to wait until August to pick it back up again.
But until then Guillaume is bound to drop another mental turd or two as he matches wits with Dick Ed’s friends. My only regret is that while I know he gets some of what I say, he’s obviously missing a lot.
But we aren’t, and that’s half the fun.
Well, I see that my boy Guillaume has decided to go huntin’ for some of them gay, rabid jew nazisraelis his real good thinking done identified for us, instead of continuin’ to edjukate us poor dumb conservatives about how really smart and compassionate a guy he is. Which is a real shame, since Dick Ed’s best friend, Bud Fokker, had some things to say about Mr. G’s fixation on my personal relationship with Hymie, the spotted jew.
Oh well, maybe he’ll return again some day and tell ask about our skin color in addition to our religious and sexual preferences because, you know, that’s what real smart people who don’t believe in “aka god” are interested in.
Maybe he’s not as clueless as we thought and figgr’d it out we was mockin’ him.
MM: What could there possibly be to mock about a guy who alerts us to gay, spotted rabid jew nazisraelis with a liberal (no pun intended) dose of masturbation and “onanistic” allusions thrown in for good measure to tell us all how ignorant and biased we are?
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
do not think that sorry is easily said, and do not try turning tables instead. You have taken lots of chances before, but I will give no more. Do not ask me. That is how it goes, because I know what you are thinking.
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
Hmm, cryptic nonsense. True to form, at least.
Mr. Guillaume!
I was a feared-that you might have been snatched up by one of them rabid jews who done went nazisraeli on you or something like that! It’s good to see them rabid jews is still not able to track down and silence a real good thinker like you is, helping to edjukate us ignurant con-servatives and all.
My friend Bud Fokker (he’s not gay; but he is very happy at times) said to tell you hello, but I ‘spect you already dun knowed that ‘cause in addition to being a real good thinker, you can now read other people’s thoughts. I always ‘spected that that’s how you was able to spot them rabid jews by the jew-thoughts they had when prayin’ to their aka god not to hurl bolts on their tables which turn on the road to Damascus. But then again, you already knowed I was gonna say that, being the real good thinker with them jew-spotting superpowers you have.
So I’ll jest close with my real good thinkin’ quote, which I thunk real hard on to try and be a real good thinker like you is.
“Don’t take no ‘chances’ on ‘turning tables’ with them rabid jew nazisraelis, ‘cause they knows what yer thinkin’.”
MM: You are watching a man who’s been exposed as a bigoted fool self-destruct before your eyes in a fit of angst-driven pique that we haven’t all just shut up and bowed to his superior reasoning. “Cryptic” is the third to last stage. After that comes “completely incomprehensible”, followed shortly by “whining petulance & picking up your marbles to leave.“
Hopefully not for a while though. I still have another good week before I leave on vacation, and next to sex with Hymie, making fun of pseudo-intellectual fools is the most fun I can ever have.
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
do not say words that you will regret, and do not let the fire rush to your head. I have heard the accusation before, and I will take no more. Believe me, the sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
Can I call it, or what!
We are at the “completely incomprehensible” stage, just as I predicted. And maybe even “whining petulance” with “I will take no more”, even though this is the second time Mr. G. said “I will give no more. Do not ask me”.
The complete meltdown of anti-Semitic French pseudo-intellectualism is at hand.
Now for my new Guillaume-inspired signature quote.
“Never spit into the wind”.
And a special note to all you rabid jews and nazisraeli’s out there. I’d appreciate it if you’d stop using the sun to hide your lies. From now on, I’m only going to listen to what you say after dark so I can be a real good thinker like Mr. Guillaume.
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
I am the eye in the sky, looking at you. I can read your mind. I am the maker of rules dealing with fools. I can cheat you blind and I need to see no more to know that I can read your mind.
I can read your mind!
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
Mr. Guillerme:
Fer a feller what keeps goin’ away, you sure linger a might. And we’s ignurant con-servatives already knows that you real good thinkers make them rules which ever-one is supposed to foller — kind of like that definition of “rabid” thinkin’ you give earlier when you was warning about them nazisraeli spotted jews.
Keep readin’ my mind (tacos, or pizza — which one do I have a hankerin’ fer right now?) Jest don’t touch my privates. That’s Hymie’s job.
Now fer my real good-thinkin’ quote.
“The fundamental dividing point in life is not whether someone is young or old, male or female, black or white, or even Liberal or Conservative. Rather, as we form judgments about other people with whom we have contact, it involves an answer to a simple question. ‘Is that person an a**hole?’”
Phil,
I think he threatened you (“Do not say words [sic, WRITE words] that you will regret… I will take no more…”). He also called you a liar! I do believe that is mighty unliberal of him.
Refresh my memory on the typical stages of left-wingers as they debate:
1)?
2)?
3) Cryptic nonsense morphing to completely incomprehensible
4) Whining petulance
5) Pick up my marbles and leave
Please include “gratuitous name-calling,” “flabbergasted that others do not see the self-evident truth of his positions,” “clinging to stereotypes about conservatives,” and “making and repeating baseless assertions.” Add other criteria as you see fit.
I need to see a hierarchy assembled so that I may construct a model.
Hmm, another obtuse quote from the same “Alan Parsons Project” song.
I never did think that lead singer Eric Woolfson sang this very well.
Another quote from the song: “So find another fool like before.” I guess that means that we should find another fool like Guillaume?
Oh, that stage 5 would come!
Phillip Ellis Jackson,
do not leave false illusions behind and do not weep and cry because I will not change my mind.
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
MM: Being “threatened” by the French is a bit like being told by a Nigerian he wants to give you $20 million if you’ll help him get the money out of his country. Neither action is believable.
Damn, that ole boy can sure speak purdy. But he still don’t make a lick ‘o sense, and keeps stayin’ ‘round after he says he’s goin’ away after I asked him polite-like not to leave.
“Wishing for a better world won’t make it happen. But a couple of tons of bunker-busting bombs dropped on the right target will.”
>Refresh my memory on the typical stages of left-wingers as they debate:
1) Gratuitous insults and ad-hominem attacks disguised as intelligent debate.
2) Denial that they made gratuitous insults and ad-hominem attacks and accusing you of doing so by pointing out that they did.
3) Cryptic nonsense morphing to completely incomprehensible.
4) Whining petulance.
5) Pick up my marbles and leave [Or, in the case of the French, continuing to say they’re leaving but staying to continue to say they’re leaving --- and blaming you for telling them to leave --- even though no one asked them to leave in the first place.]
*sniff* *bawl* I just can’t stop weeping and crying…
Phil
I don’t understand Mr G’s use of the First Crusade battle Cry “Deus vult” in the context of copy editing other commenter’s remarks. Did he intend to say God forbid?
But then maybe I’m just banausic.
Another “Alan Parsons Project” quote:
“You’re reading my mind, you won’t look into my eyes,
You say I do things I don’t realise,
But I don’t care, it’s all psychobabble rap to me,
Psychobabble, all psychobabble.”
Inwood: As a certified Real Good Thinker and French pseudo-intellectual to boot, it is not our place to question why Mr. G. chooses the tortured language he does to express his thoughts about rabid jew nazisraelis.
Our role is ony to keep out of the sun and talk to them jews at night, so we can all tell when they’re lying.
Congratulations Mountain Man,
Finally you got a clue!
From post 71 to post 88, which are exactly 18 posts, you and Phillip Ellis Jackson have been angrily replying to the lyrics of song! That is what I call smart!
You should see the people around my place. What a good laugh we had at your expenses!
Thus, with this experience, it has been proven that intellectual conservative is a contradiction, but foolish conservative is a pleonasm.
Bonne Soirée !
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
By my reckon, this is Mr. Guilluarme’s 4th time to leave. Even the French during WWII didn’t surrender 4 times to them Germans.
It’s still a few hours away from dark, so I’m gonna wait until the sun goes down like Mr. G suggested to look for some of them rabid jew islamonazis he was singin’ about. I’m still lookin’ fer the song them words “rabid jew” and “nazisraeli” came from, but like I said before, I don’t speak German as good as Mr. G. and his friends seem to do, so it puts me at a real disadvantage.
But I’m not complainin’. It’s always great to watch how a real good thinker thinks real good. First he says real stupid things about rabid jews and nazisraelis, and then when it’s pointed out how stupid it is, he tells it was all jest a song that he and his real good thinkin’ friends was singing so don’t make no never mind about it.
The real good thinker that he is, it only took him four days, and have a dozen different explanations, to think of that one.
“Gross stupidity is a designation that must be earned by a person, not simply assigned out of frustration.”
So we finally got a clue, eh? Finally? I presume that means right away? From my post #81: “Hmm, another obtuse quote from the same “Alan Parsons Project” song.”
“Angrily replying to lyrics of a song.” We’ve been mocking you for dozens of posts for the pure, unadulterated idiocy you have been posting here. We even told you we were. See post #69. You have long since been relegated to the ideological scrap pile and you don’t even know it. See post #86
I guess you and your friends laughing at our expense indicates the level of intellect and social sophistication that characterizes the typical leftist. Your smug arrogance and inability to discern your own shortcomings has truly been instructive.
Still waiting for step #5.
Phil, does this fellow live in the real world? Are his friends imaginary? He still doesn’t have a clue!
MM: Yeah, or my comment #67: “As the ‘official writer’ of the website, you’d think that the G-man would have figured out that my style is to take the exact language and imagery of the racists, bigots and now homophobes who drop in from time to time and literally beat them over the head with their own words.”
As far as Mr. G’s mythical associates, many people have “imaginary friends” when they are fixating on masturbation (or “onanism’ as Mr. G. like to call Spanking the Monkey while telling us about rabid jew nazisraelis.)
The real question is, do you really want to get a mental image of the “friends” he’s actually thinking about when “communicating” with them
Mountain Man,
I overread your post 81. So I must correct my previous post: it was “only” after 10 posts, and after the refrain with the explicit name of the song that you got the clue.
You must be the most intellectual conservative in your part of the woods! Congrats again!
We apologise for laughing more than our due share.
Guten Nacht!
“Intellectual Conservative is a contradiction, but Foolish Conservative is a pleonasm.”
MM: See, I told you the French were real good surrenders.
… still waitin’ for the sun to go down so I can get out from under the spell of them jew-eyes and larn the truth.
Blah blah blah Gillaume blah blah blah blah Gillaume blah blah.
Guillaume’s standard of intellect is if you can recognize a bad 80s song. Touche.
MM: Could have been worse. He could have started quoting Abba’s “Dancing Queen”. One can only wonder what would have been in his mind when he started singing “feel the beat from the tambourine”.
