It is with a heavy heart and a clean conscience... that I have decided to take a sabbatical and not participate in 'PF' for a while, some will be disconsolate others will be elated not to confront my facts any more. This 'PF' has turned to be a tit for tat, an emotional upheaval center from some who considered my Old Patrimony evil, other (very few) defended it with positive sentiments for the Jews. I appreciate the give and take... now it is time to take a break and focus on most urgent things. I will miss my opponents with a displaced sense of outrage and I will miss those with knowledge that backed my researched facts. I hope perhaps in the future to be able to contribute lightly to the debate. With my sincere's wishes for success to all and to 'PF' who has hosted me for some times now. I am respectfully HBendor.
I think its good to take a break, rejuvenate and participate in the real world for a change. Hope to see you back soon. .
Sadly, the Leftist Trolls are everywhere you will go on the internet. If you have a thin skin, it's not a place to spend your time. I feel sad to see you go as I find your posts informative and well thought out. Good luck but I truly hope you hang in there and stay.
your posts are often bigoted, provocative, and seek to annoy. maybe when you come back, if you come back, you'll choose a more civil tone.
Wait! I just got here, lol. I haven't even read many of your posts. But longknife is correct. I have been a member at another political site and it just gets old with the same circular argument pattern. Shalam, la'et ra'ot
Leaving just means the anti-semites win. But I agree this forum is hard terrain for Jews and those sympathetic to Israel. That was one of the shockers when I first came to this site. I thought, "Oh, an international political forum! What new and differing ideas will I be exposed to?" But as it turned out, I was shocked at the extremely high level of Jew hate on this site. All over the world people hate the Jews if this forum is any example. It makes me wonder, not how the Holocaust happened, but why isn't it happening now? There are a lot of people (yes I'm speaking to you Europeans!) who would be more than happy to reopen the camps and turn the gas back on. So keep your powder dry.
most forums are hard terrain for extreme Zionists who want to send all Arabs into the Sea or east to Jordan. its should be expected.
There isn't a high level of Jew hatred on this forum. There is though strong criticism of Israel, something which Jews themselves find they must Increasingly do. Have fun Bender!
I will freely admit that when I see a Palestine-Israel thread, I go right on by, not bothering to read. This by no means shows a lack of disrespect for Israel. I admire that nation as the only true, free, open democratic country in the region. And, from everything I know, the IDF is a kick-ass outfit with some of the top fighters in the world - of both sexes.
and....? If Hbendor took a time off from this forum because Rosh Hashanah so it's fine, why is it so funny or something weird like you trying to describe it?
i read his thread and there he said that he will gonna take some break from this forum for some more urgent things, so once again- how is it something funny or something to be sarcestic about it. the reasons that made him took a break is non of our business, we can just wish him luck and to hope he will ome back here.
Perhaps those of us who find his posts interesting, informative, and especially galling to liberals convinced him it is better to stay than run away.
