Singling out one side as being solely to blame is irrational. I'm getting confused. I'm talking about the puppeteer comment, which is what I understood LB and JohnM to be arguing. Message 20272835 Israel is accused of prolonging war and using Washington to do so. You get that from the puppeteer statement? Even if you do, it still seems a reach to interpret that as saying it's all Israel's fault and not at all the Palestinians. The statement in question looks to me like a complaint about the recent shift in US policy away from the old peace process to support of Sharon's new approach. "Puppeteering" is a hyperbolic way to express that complaint, but then it seems all political statements are hyperbolic these days and this is not much if any more so. I think, were it put nicely, it's a legitimate question even though I favor Sharon's approach. I still don't see anything inherently anti-semitic in it.
