You could be a political speech writer, your examples with substituted words sounds just like something I heard on TV the other day.

Insert it into the same pattern and see if it makes sense. I imagine it will fall apart in the very first sentence.

If they do it its terrorism, if the states do it, it's noble defense. If you're North Korean and US stealth bombers are flying over your head, your perspective might be different. If you're Iranian you know about the 1953 coup d'état by BP. and so on. If HSBC or Starbucks is doing money laundering that's just second nature. But if people use the same tools, that's the end of the world.

+1 Exactly my point.

I can't believe it took that long.

Everybody should use bitcoin instead of fiat, Jewish and Arabic, Americans, Russians, Chinese, black and white.
If the governments cannot take any more the money of the people they cannot finance wars and it will be peace.

I've added a new thread for anyone interested in the original subject rather than middle-east politics in general.

Terrorists don't need Bitcoin they can threaten or bribe bank employees in the 3rd world to accept wire transfers for them and launder money. If you're a criminal group of thugs armed to the teeth and don't at all care about prison or even death why would some silly finance regulations prevent you from getting money. If you have cells in N. America that need "activation" through funding they can just buy a card magstripe writer from Ebay, receive the ATM card dump via encrypted email, make the card themselves and withdraw all the terrorist money they want.

+1 Better yet, keep doing what we're doing: build legitimate business, keep our real identities and prove we are real, normal, non-shady people.

Groan..not this stupid map again.  I don't know how we're getting into this on a Bitcoin forum but that map is such nonsense I feel compelled to address it.

The first map in the series of four is most egregious. It suggests that, in 1946, nearly all of the land between the Jordan and the Mediterranean was "Palestinian." Land designated as "Jewish" in this map constitutes maybe five percent of the total. This map is ridiculous, not only because the term "Palestinian" in 1946 referred, generally speaking, to the Jews who lived in Palestine, not the Arabs, but because there was no Palestine in 1946 (nor was there an Israel.) There was only the British Mandate. Jews lived throughout the territory then occupied by the British, including, by the way, on land that today constitutes the West Bank (though in 1946 Jews did not live in Hebron; they were expelled in 1929, after an Arab massacre of Jewish religious scholars). The intent of this propaganda map is to suggest that an Arab country called "Palestine" existed in 1946 and was driven from existence by Jewish imperialists. Not only was there no such country as "Palestine" in 1946, there has never been a country called Palestine. Before the British conquered Jerusalem, Palestine was a sub-province of the Ottoman Empire. (And after the British left, of course, Jordan and Egypt moved in to occupy Gaza and the West Bank.) It could also be pointed out that even if the map was relabeled "Jewish" and "Arab" land, it would still be a lie. The white parts show only the privately owned Jewish land, but the green part does not represent privately owned Arab land - it simply shows everything else. In fact, over 75% of the land in 1946 was publicly owned, and all of that land within the Green Line became Israeli after the War of Independence.

The next map in the series is a rendering of the U.N. Partition Plan, which would have divided the British mandate into two equal parts, one part for Arabs and one part for Jews. But this neglects to mention that the Jews accepted this partition of Palestine, and that the Arabs rejected it. When Israel declared independence, the Arabs sought to physically eliminate the U.N.-supported Jewish state, but, to their chagrin, they failed. All that happens today flows from the original Arab decision to reject totally the idea that Jews are deserving of a state in part of their historic homeland.

The green sections of the third map do not show "Palestinian" land at all either, as there was no Palestine and the West Bank was annexed by Jordan - with full approval of the leaders of Palestinian Arabs - and Gaza was controlled by Egypt.

The fourth map is equally misleading in that it misrepresents which areas are under Palestinian control.
It also fails to mention that a very large percentage of the Arabs in pre-Israel Palestine had moved there due to the development of the local economy and land by Zionists around the turn of the century. Obviously not all...but substantial enough to mention which of course it never is.

Also, about 95% or more of the "refugees" actually fled their land willingly out of the urging of the Arab Legion, fear of being caught in the crossfire of the invading Arab armies, or fears of being massacred by Jews due to rumors being spread. This insinuation that unarmed Palestinians were driven off their land is just incredibly misleading and historically inaccurate. It does a disservice to the legitimate points made by gun owners regarding their rights.

This is really misleading mis-framing of the conversation that drives this false narrative......Jews (mostly secular) came in and bought up land legally in a place where no country existed, they developed it and the local economy...and built the foundations of a state before any Partition plan...the entitlement has been on the side of the local Arab population which insists that even land not lived on, used, or part of any country is by definition Arab land the moment the Jews build something on it. It should be noted as well that in the initial PLO charter the Palestinians said "we make no claim upon the West Bank or Gaza...it is not our land".....only when the Jews took control of those regions in a defensive war did they decide they wanted those lands...and that their previous identities as Egyptian, Syrian, Iraqi Arabs would now be exchanged for Palestinian identities and they began inventing their own history and spreading it throughout the world

Bottom line, this lying manipulative nonsense needs to be called out for what it is. Complete and utter propaganda with no reflection on actual history. If you want to have an intelligent conversation about present Israeli policy then there is plenty of room for disagreement. But make sure to investigate the truth in something before reposting it. Because in this day and age...people seem to believe any emotionally manipulative graphic someone puts up on the internet. Facts, people, facts.
