I do not find Emile more acceptable than the bannees, and it is not fair to say that I do.
Ummmm......

If you think his presence at SI in general is unacceptable, perhaps you should spend your energy trying to get him removed at that level. I think you could gather quite a lot of support for that!
I have. Others have too.

stealing the land they call Israel
Who stole the land you're parked on?

Is there a square foot of the earth's surface that someone has not stolen from someone else? The American Indians here now pushed other Indians further south when they came. Many of the sackings of ancient Rome were done by people being pushed west by other people east of them.

If this is to be the cause of hatred, then all of most hate all others--starting with ourselves.

That logic makes no sense, woman. The Israelis were scattered to the winds by the Romans when the Romans grew tired of their contant battles for independence.

And how many of this Palestinians have how much of that Philistine blood from the people Moses pushed out?

driving its inhabitants into refugee camps
Why have not those Arab nations around Israel taken them in? Are the Palestinians simply convenient distractions from the failures of those gov'ts? Where is THEIR debt? Where is THEIR human kindness?

America is about the only country I can think of that is pro-Zionist, in fact.
Study a bit of history. What country was the first pro-Zionist? The USSR. The US was anti-Zionist then.

I cannot in good conscience have thread rules that ban people just on my whim, although I know some other thread heads do that.
ALL do. Some just admit it.

If I banned everyone I didn't like for one reason or another, this would be an arbitrary and closed kind of place (with far fewer participants).
Now that you mention it, that is precisely what you were doing a while back and you found that was the consequence.

I wonder if you realize how offensive it is for you to imply that I in some way sanction his views.
When you ban Jewel for no apparent reason and nothing happens to him? Maybe I reason for such an impression.
