<< Mr Barry - I respect your religious beliefs and fully understand that you sympathize with Israel. >>

Thanks. Not too many respect atheism. But, you don't have any understanding about why Israel is so important to Jews.

<< Yes, you are extremely biased on this issue. You have "Zionism" as hobby on your SI profile, for crying out loud :-) >>

What is wrong with Zionism? Jews want a homeland where they won't be persecuted by the government. Throughout history, Jews have been at the mercy of antiSemitic people and governments. In Israel, as least, Jews are not persecuted by the government because of their race or religion.

You call me biased, but you strongly oppose the Jewish people's desire to live safe and free in their own country?

What a bigot!

<< I see no point in continuing to discuss this issue with someone who thanks God for tanks and missiles ... >>

Without the tanks and missiles ALL Jews in Israeli would be dead right now, murdered by the Palestinians.

Thank God for tanks and missiles!

Just better hope that you never live in a country where you would need to defend yourself against those that would harm you.
