Why America Is So Hated All Over The World??the Reasons

[jokersarewild]

We are hated because you people want to be part of our society, a society with a few more freedoms than your Islamic society. You see your sociey as the be all end all of societies, but you don't understand what it is like to not be forced to be poor, raped, covered, or beaten because your laws say "Listen to Koran, follow all fo the rules in it, and if you don't, we'll stone ya."

 

Our laws are somewhat based on the Ten Commandments, but the Ten Commandments aren't a bad source...sort of almost close to being like the 5 Pillars of Islam:

 

Witnessing-Shahadah: Basically, you publically state that Allah is the only "god", and that Mohammed(May he be fucked by a pig) is his messenger.

 

Prayer-Salat: You pray if you are sane, not menstruating, or not giving birth. You pray 5 times per day.

 

Charity-Zakah: You have to give some shit away...it "purifies" your soul.

 

Fasting-Sawm: Don't eat, drink, or fuck from dawn until sunset.

 

Pilgrimage-Hajj: Go to Mecca once in your life.

[lashton]

News flash, joy-boy: America is hated because the third world countries of the world envy us.

 

Ohh... and compared to some of your less intelligible ramblings... this is your opus. Which leads me to believe that you copied and pasted from another forum somewhere.

 

Can year really and seriously be that retarded! people hate the US because of stupid people like you!

[lashton]

What the hell is this drabble? Stop spewing hatemail and start thinking about why it is that muslim extremists should never be allowed to have nuclear technology.

 

Iran is afraid of being invaded because they know they are full of shit and their nucler profileration will NEVER be acceptable. If they want these technologies the must first remove the mullahs and the ayetollah from power.

 

Until Iran ceases supporting terrorism, they will NEVER be allowed to have nuclear technology of any kind.

 

If thet cannot handle this fact of life, TOO BAD!

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Says who iran can't have nuclear technology, the west can say but there is nothing they can do, the US and west will not attack iran simply because it would be economicllay destructive! thatt and the fact that iranians WILL retaliate!

Besides prove that their nuclear programme is not for peacefull use, PROVE IT before ACCUSING

Yeah, people tend to retaliate once they have had the flesh melted off of them...

 

Let's examine your "peacefull" statement for a second...

 

Iran, one of the biggest known terrorism funders, would do something peaceful with one of the biggest(if not THE biggest) destructive forces known to man? And Mohammed really was a good human being.

[lashton]

This is not about religion this is the west accusing a country of harnessing nuclear power for bad uses, lets think of where this happened, oh yes iraq, aparantly we accused them of having WMD, we were wrong!

But shit we were adamant they had them, geez didn't Nato feel dumb when they were wrong!

The US will not use nukes to rid itself of a race of people. We used them twice to save 1000's of american soldiers.

 

If iran/iraq had them they WOULD use them to try to irradicate israel.

 

"Iranians would retaliate" Im sure they would by sending some sub-human muslim shit over here to kill women and children.

 

Why is it ok for muslims to suicide murder other muslims but when an israel kills a muslim its time to kill all jews?

No, Bush and his posse accused them of having WMDs.

[jokersarewild]

Actually, it isn't. But hey, what's an argument without historical inaccuracy?

[smutt butt]

hMMMMMMM.... great point.

[Hamza123]

Nobody said you wouldn't turn your back on your "friends". They are and have turned there backs on you.

 

 

"I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it." -Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001

 

 

 

At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres, saying "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it."

 

The radio said Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon against saying what he said in public because "it would cause us a public relations disaster."

[Hamza123]

Again, nobody said it was an awful place. It's not what happens in America caused by Americans, it what happens overseas.

HERE IS MY ANSWER FOR YOU

 

 

 

here are israeli plots and conspiracies against a "friend",an "ally" america

who can trust israelis????

 

The Israeli lobby in Washington has successfully influenced the U.S.

Congress to give billions of non-repayable dollars each year to Israel on

the premise that Israel's loyalty and strategic importance to the United

States make it an ally worthy of such unprecedented consideration. Is it?

 

In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned Americans to avoid a

passionate attachment to any one nation because it promotes "the illusion

of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists."

 

In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the

creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure

to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New

York, Pennsylvania, and California, "it was about time that somebody should

pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States."

 

Israeli actions over the past 58 years involving U.S. interests in the

Middle East seriously challenge the "strategic asset" premise of the

Israeli lobby. Some of these actions are compiled in the list that follows:

 

September 1953: Israel illegally begins to divert the waters of the Jordan

River. President Eisenhower, enraged, suspends all economic aid to Israel

and prepares to remove the tax-deductible status of the United Jewish

Appeal and of other Zionist organizations in the United States.

 

October 1953: Israel raids the West Bank village of Kibya, killing 53

Palestinian civilians. The Eisenhower administration calls the raid

"shocking," and confirms the suspension of aid to Israel.

 

July 1954: Israeli agents firebomb American and British cultural centers in

Egypt, making it look like the work of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in

order to sabotage U.S.-Egyptian relations.

 

October 1956: Israel secretly joins with England and France in a colonial-

style attack on Egypt's Suez Canal. Calling the invasion a dangerous threat

to international order, President Eisenhower forces Israel to relinquish

most of the land it had seized.

 

1965: 206 pounds of weapons grade uranium disappear from the Nuclear

Materials and Equipment Corporation plant in Pennsylvania. Plant president

is Zalmon Shapiro, a former sales agent for the Israel Defense Ministry.

C.I.A. Director Richard Helms later charges that Israel stole the uranium.

 

June 1967: Israel bombs, napalms and torpedoes the USS Liberty, killing 34

Americans, wounding 171 others, and nearly sinking the lightly armed

intelligence ship. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral

Thomas Moorer, charges that the attack "could not possibly have been a case

of mistaken identity."

June 1967: Against U.S. wishes Israel seizes and occupies Syria's Golan

Heights.

 

June 1968: Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir rejects U.S. Secretary of

State William Rogers' Peace Plan that would have required Israel to

withdraw from the occupied territories; she calls upon Jews everywhere to

denounce the plan.

 

March 1978: Israel invades Lebanon, illegally using U.S. cluster bombs and

other U.S. weapons given to Israel for defensive purposes only.

 

1979: Israel frustrates U.S.-sponsored Camp David Accords by building new

settlements on the West Bank. President Carter complains to American Jewish

leaders that, by acting in a "completely irresponsible way," Israel's Prime

Minister Begin continues "to disavow the basic principles of the accords."

 

1979: Israel sells U.S. airplane tires and other military supplies to Iran,

against U.S. policy, at a time when U.S. diplomats are being held hostage

in Teheran.

 

July 1980: Israel annexes East Jerusalem in defiance of U.S. wishes and

world opinion.

 

July 1981: Illegally using U.S. cluster bombs and other equipment, Israel

bombs P.L.O. sites in Beirut, with great loss of civilian life. December

1981: Israel annexes Syria's Golan Heights, in violation of the Geneva

Convention and in defiance of U.S. wishes.

 

June 1982: Israel invades Lebanon a second time, again using U.S. cluster

bombs and other U.S. weapons. President Reagan calls for a halt of all

shipments of cluster bomb shells to Israel.

 

September 1982: Abetted by Israeli forces under the control of Defense

Minister Ariel Sharon, Lebanese militiamen massacre hundreds of

Palestinians in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. President Reagan

is "horrified" and summons the Israeli ambassador to demand Israel's

immediate withdrawal from Beirut.

 

September 1982: Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin rejects President

Reagan's Peace Plan for the occupied territories.

 

January-March 1983: Israeli army "harasses" U.S. Marines in Lebanon.

Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger confirms Marine commandant's report

that "Israeli troops are deliberately threatening the lives of American

military personnel . . . replete with verbal degradation of the officers,

their uniforms and country."

 

March 1985: Israeli lobby in Washington pressures the U.S. Congress to turn

down a $1.6 billion arms sale to Jordan, costing the U.S. thousands of

jobs, quite apart from the financial loss to American industry. Jordan

gives the contract to Russia. A frustrated King Hussein complains: "The

U.S. is not free to move except within the limits of what AIPAC [the

Israeli lobby], the Zionists and the State of Israel determine for it."

 

October 1985: Israeli lobby blocks $4 billion aircraft sale to Saudi

Arabia. The sale, strongly backed by the Reagan administration, costs the

U.S. over 350,000 jobs, with steep financial losses to American industry.

Saudi Arabia awards contract to England.

 

November 1985: Jonathan Jay Pollard, an American recruited by Israel, is

arrested for passing highly classified intelligence to Israel. U.S.

officials call the operation but "one link in an organized and

well-financed Israeli espionage ring operating within the United States."

State Department contacts reveal that top Israeli defense officials "traded

stolen U.S. intelligence documents to Soviet military intelligence agents

in return for assurances of greater emigration of Soviet Jews."

 

December 1985: U.S. Customs in three states raid factories suspected of

illegally selling electroplating technology to Israel. Richard Smyth, a

NATO consultant and former U.S. exporter, is indicted on charges of

illegally exporting to Israel 800 krytron devices for triggering nuclear

explosions.

 

April 1986: U.S. authorities arrest 17 persons, including a retired Israeli

General, Avraham Bar-Am, for plotting to sell more than $2 billion of

advanced U.S. weaponry to Iran (much of it already in Israel). General Bar-

Am, claiming to have had Israeli Government approval, threatens to name

names at the highest levels. U.S. Attorney General of New York calls the

plot "mind-boggling in scope."

 

July 1986: Assistant Secretary of State Richard Murphy informs the Israeli

ambassador that a U.S. investigation is under way of eight Israeli

representatives in the U.S. accused of plotting the illegal export of

technology used in making cluster bombs. Indictments against the eight are

later dropped in exchange for an Israeli promise to cooperate in the case.

 

January 1987: Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin visits South Africa to

discuss joint nuclear weapons testing. Israel admits that, in violation of

a U.S. Senate anti-apartheid bill, it has arms sales contracts with South

Africa worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Rep. John Conyers calls for

Congressional hearings on Israel-South Africa nuclear testing.

 

November 1987: The Iran-Contra scandal reveals that it was Israel that had

first proposed the trade to Iran of U.S. arms for hostages. The scandal

becomes the subject of the Tower Commission Report, Senate and House

investigations, and the Walsh criminal prosecution inquiries.

 

April 1988: Testifying before U.S. Subcommittee on Narcotics, Terrorism and

International Operations, Jose Blandon, a former intelligence aide to

Panama's General Noriega, reveals that Israel used $20 million of U.S. aid

to ship arms via Panama to Nicaraguan Contras. The empty planes then

smuggled cocaine via Panama into the United States. Pilot tells ABC

reporter Richard Threlkeld that Israel was his primary employer. The

arms-for- drugs network is said to be led by Mike Harari, Noriega's close

aide and bodyguard, who was also a high officer in the Israeli secret

services and chief coordinator of Israel's military and commercial business

in Panama.

 

June 1988: Mubarak Awad, a Palestinian-American advocate of nonviolence, is

deported by Israel. The White House denounces the action, saying, "We think

it is unjustifiable to deny Mr. Awad the right to stay and live in

Jerusalem, where he was born."

March 1990: Israel requests more than $1 billion in loans, gifts, and

donations from American Jews and U.S. government to pay for resettling

be new settlements in the West Bank or East Jerusalem."

Israel has emerged as leading supplier of advanced military technology to

China, despite U.S.'s expressed opposition to Israeli-Chinese military

cooperation.

 

September 1990: Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy asks the Bush

administration to forgive Israel's $4.5 billion military debt and

dramatically increase military aid. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens

expresses concern over expected $20 billion in U.S. arms sales to Saudi

Arabia and asks for an additional $1 billion in military aid to Israel.

Facing rising congressional opposition, White House backs off from plan to

sell Saudi Arabia over $20 billion in military hardware. Bush

administration promises to deliver additional F-15 fighters and Patriot

missiles to Israel, but defers action on Israel's request for more than $1

billion in new military aid. Arens questions U.S.'s commitment to maintain

Israel's military advantage in the Middle East.

 

October 1990: "Aliya cabinet" chair Ariel Sharon encourages increase in

"outrageous and outside the bounds of acceptable behavior."

 

February 1991: Hours after long-disputed $400 million loan guarantees to

insufficient. Next day, Israel formally requests $1 billion in emergency

military assistance to cover costs stemming from the Gulf War.

 

March 1991: Israeli government rejects President Bush's call for solution

to Arab-Israeli conflict that includes trading land for peace. In a report

to Congress, U.S. State Department says Soviet Jewish immigrants are

settling in the occupied territories at a higher rate than the Israeli

government claims. During tour of West Bank settlements, Housing Minister

Sharon says construction of 13,000 housing units in occupied territories

has been approved for next two years. Plans contradict statement by Prime

Minister Shamir, who told President Bush that the Israeli government had

not approved such plans.

 

April 1991: Prime Minister Shamir and several members of his cabinet reject

U.S. Secretary of State Baker's suggestion that Israel curtail expansion of

Jewish settlements in the occupied territories as gesture for peace. U.S.

Israel's timing, with Secretary Baker due to arrive in Israel in two days.

Hours before Baker arrives, eight Israeli families complete move to new

settlement of Talmon Bet. U.S. ambassador to Israel William Brown files an

official protest with the Israeli government about establishment and/or

expansion of settlements in the West Bank. Housing Minister Sharon says

business practices in connection with its sale of military jet engines to

Israel. A GE manager had conspired with Israeli Gen. Rami Dotan to divert

$27 million in U.S. military aid with fraudulent vouchers. U.S. Justice and

Defense Departments do not believe that Dotan was acting in his own

interest, implying that the government of Israel may be implicated in the

fraud, which would constitute a default on Israel's aid agreements with the

U.S.

 

June 1993: U.S. House of Representatives passes bill authorizing $80

Consulate intervened. U.S. State Department calls the incident "simply

unacceptable."

May 2001: U.S. is voted off the United Nations Commission on Human Rights

for the first time since the committee's establishment in 1947. The

Financial Times of London suggests that Washington, by vetoing U.N.

resolutions alleging Israeli human rights abuses, showed its inability to

work impartially in the area of human rights. Secretary of State Colin

Powell suggests the vote was because "we left a little blood on the floor"

in votes involving the Palestinians.

 

September 2001: Six days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America,

Secretary of State Powell, when asked why America is hated in the Arab and

Muslim world, acknowledges that the deep resentment and anger toward the

United States is due to the Palestinian crisis.

 

November 2001: Secretary of State Colin Powell calls on Israel to halt all

settlement building which he says "cripples chances for real peace and

security." Benny Elon, a right-wing minister in the Sharon government, says

the settlers aren't worried. "America has a special talent for seeing

things in the short term," he says, explaining that what Powell said he

said only to get Arab support for America's anti-terrorism coalition

against Afghanistan.

 

March 2002: U.N. Sec. Gen. Kofi Annan calls for immediate withdrawal of

Israeli tanks from Palestinian refugee camps, citing large numbers of

Palestinians reported dead or injured. U.S. State Dept. says the United

States has contacted Israel to "urge that utmost restraint be exercised in

order to avoid harm to the civilian population."

Israel has time and again proven it is not really our friend. It has conducted covert terrorist activities against America such as the Lavon affair in Egypt. It has deliberately attacked the USS Liberty with unmarked fighters and torpedo boats causing 174 American casualties in an attempt to blame Egypt and garner American support during the war of 1967. It has spied on us and stolen our greatest secrets, such as in the Jonathan Pollard affair. It has sold secret American technologies to the Communist Chinese. It has stolen nucleur materials from the United States. It has tricked America into bombing other nations such as in the attack on Libya in 1986. I could go on and on about Israel's treachery against the America.
