In Ramallah, West Bank, Palestinian police say that a family hanged a 15-year-old boy because they believed that he might be a collaborator with Israel. The police doubt that he was a collaborator due to his young age.
Police report that the boy was hanged by his own father, uncle, and cousin. One account says that the boy was tortured before being hanged.

Gary,
I do sincerely apologize for offending you with my latest posts. I did appreciate your prior support.
Your criticism was taken constructively and I most definitely see your point.
Not a defense but I went off a little bit not because I was insulted more by the ignorance of Buddha’s sychophants than even by Buddha’s own ignorance. I felt the need to point out the lack of credibility from a wikipedia source.
Again, I do apologize and your criyicism was taken without resentment.
Well you can rely on Wiki, at least for the Scientology portion. You cannot alter it. So it has to be so. So there and there.
SICILIAN:
dont you mean “cribbable material”?
wikihuff cribster or Huffingpedia
Well as long as you admit ithat you don’t have an original thought because I think it’s safe to say that the only time you do seem to have an original thought is when you’ve plagerized an idea from another source.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Now if you’re views lean to the Huffington post side of things, fine.
But please, do NOT use wikipedia. Any acedemic will tell you that wikipedia is NOT an accepted source for credible material. If you use it don’t admit it.
rofl
AY, you’re just too funny.
Sicilian:
hey that’s my tag-line, I use Wiki all the time and the Huffington Post. Both those sights have in depth cogent information and they do very thorough research so that you know the information is correct and up to date.
Those are the only 2 I use because dog gone-it I cant seem to find any other sites that have material I agree with and that would be worthy of plagiarizing.
So actually I am the Wikihuff Cribster or maybe if you prefer the Huffingpedia Cribster.
So remember, any posts by me will not be my own thoughts but those I devine from either or both websites. I think there are multiple people that do that because a good many opinions sound like mine.

What I see is that in some of your responses to my posts you have failed to notice that I was actually agreeing with you and reflexively counter-attacked as if I was saying the opposite of what I was in fact saying. For example:-
me: As you point out they have endured 1900 years of Christian bigotry. Some Christians might assert that the excesses of the holocaust have cured Christianity of antisemitism.
you: that would be nice it it were true. you can’t possibly think it is true, do you? not after that nice christian man shot and killed a guard at the holocaust museum, do you?
You have failed to notice that the extract of my post above which you quoted continues so that the full thing is:-
me:When I wrote that the Jews need a homeland I was not being sarcastic. As you point out they have endured 1900 years of Christian bigotry. Some Christians might assert that the excesses of the holocaust have cured Christianity of antisemitism. I as an ex-Christian atheist remain skeptical. What I see in the world is that the immunizing effect that the holocaust had against human rights abuses is wearing off and supporters of all kinds of prejudicial ~isms proudly march under the banner of being against the great evil of political correctness.
Many Jews now feel safe living in the USA, Australia, Europe and South America but it is understandable that many others do not. The fear generated by pogroms culminating in the holocaust does not wear off unless it is over many hundreds of years, and it is my opinion that a resurgence of vicious Christian Jew hatred is possible ……………….
What I am saying above is that I agree with you that it is not safe to assume that Christian anti-semitism is safely confined to the past.

Well, I did defend sicilian1 for the commentary up to and prior to my post, because everything I observed him say was coherent, measured and substantive.
I don\’t defend all the ad hominems and run-on commentary since then. Not on point, full of silliness and vitriole, and just lacking class.
If all he did was reign it in, stay on point, and be civil, he could be immune to the troll aspersion.
Buddha,
You’re going to have to change your tagline to the “wikipedia cribster”. Because the wisdom and insight you try to impart with Buddha is obviously lacking. Siddhartha would not be proud to have you as one of his adhereants.
Your inferior comments prove you have nothing of insight untill you can go and plagerize some ideas off some internet website.
But Wkikpedia??!! Are you serious??!!
Any grade school student knows that wikipedia is the LAST place to EVER look for info. If the grade school’s student acedemic life depended on it even they know wikipedia is the last resource they would lose.
You’re so intellectually lazy if not outright ignorant that not only do you USE wikipedia, not only do you ADMIT to using wikipedia but you actually have the ignorance to advocate to others to look up not one but two wikipedia websites for info.
Are you kidding??!! Even your little disclaimer does NOT in any way absolve you of your absolute ignorance.
You have lost any and all credibility to comment on any topic. Now we all know that anything you say are the musings of a small mind!!!! HA, HA, HA!!!!!
You are the one who did it to yourself. You are the one who exposed your own use of wikipedia as a source. What a joke.
Please save us, I know you’re probably sitting by your computer pulling up all types of wikipedia source info. Don’t even bother because when you come back with some type of disertation on whatever we’ll all know you’re just regurgitating some wikipedia nonsense. You are unworthy to even have your voice heard.
Siddauthara had his own insights. He wasn’t so ignorant as to plagerize anything from anyone. Lose the tagline.
Hopefully all your little sychophants have discovered that you were nothing but a fraud.
“My apologies to Mr. Spindell if that is the way it came across.”
IS,
No apologies needed, I understood what you were writing and didn’t take it as snark. Please call me Mike though, Mr. Spindell makes me feel my age.
Keep dancing, monkey.
I’m laughing hysterically.
scilian 1:
most people here look up stuff to bolster their arguments. There are a few that are good original thinkers and are very interesting and thoughtful.
Buddha,
Your ignorance is continuously shown with every blog you write. Maybe if you read them like others do you would know how to give an intelligent retort.
When I read your earlier blog I was surprised over how informative it was considering that your original comment and all succeeding attempts at retort gave no indication that you possessed even a modicum of intelligence to come up with those insights.
But then you gave yourself away. You gave some wikipedia sites to refer to. At that point it became obvios that for the last few days you were “TROLLING” off wikikpedia to get some crib notes to make it appear as if you had some knowledge on the subject.
If you knew what you wrote today, 2 or 3 days ago why didn’t you say it? DUHHHH!!!!!
The whole psuedo-Palestinian argument was the basis of my argument from my first post. If you go back to read it or read any of my blogs about the Palestinian falsehood you will see that that has always been my position.
An intellectual midget such as yourself gave no indication that you ever had a position beyond the customary knee-jerk response.
Your posts are your own indictment. Now everyone will know that the next time you disappaer from a comment site for any extended period of time that you are researching off wikipedia so you can crib and then come back and impress all the sychophants who are mislead by your tag.
Buddha, ya right!!! Siddhartha would NOT be proud.
IS,
I said hobby, I’m a professional Musician. My hobbies include: Fishing, Hunting, gathering, brewing beer, cooking, long walks on the beach. My vices include: enjoying the fruits of all my hobbies.
Gary,
I can’t speak for anyone else, but it’s pretty seems to me that Sicilian is as interested in drumming up views for his website as he is in rational discussion. I would only recommend reading his blog if you’re interested in reading some violently onanistic rants. While that may just make him a pseudo-troll, it’s close enough for me.
Also, his views are pretty self contradictory, which makes him a target on a website full of critical thinkers.
Gyges:
you don’t have one? I thought you were a musician. Dont you guys make the big bucks at parties and weddings?
IS,
I’d love a hobby that payed over 20,000.
Buddha is Laughing:
A dime is 1.35 mm in thickness and one inch is 25.4 mm so you have 225.77 dimes per foot
at 1,047 ft that would amount to 236,389 dimes or $23,639, not a very princely sum for Troll bashing. Better go get a job that pays better and that you are good at.
Buddha is Laughing:
I wasnt being snarky to Mr. Spindell. I agree with him on Israel. Some of the other posters seem to think that Israel and the Arab dictatorships are morally equivalent.
My apologies to Mr. Spindell if that is the way it came across.
sicilian,
If I had a dime for every troll that didn’t like me, I could stack them as high as the Chrysler Building (1,047 ft.). Boo freakin’ hoo, sport.
