<<What I'm tired of is how people of your ilk spend inordinate amounts of time discussing Israeli responsibility for this and that, but seldom wish to criticize Arabs when they engage in similar, or even more brutal, activities. >> That seems to be a focus that pops up often. I think it's Jew hating in general with Israel being a focal target.

<...seldom wish to criticize Arabs when they engage in similar, or even more brutal, activities...> There is no shortage of people on this thread, willing to do that. No need to add my voice to the chorus of Arab-demonizers. If I was on a thread where 98% of the posters were from Arab nations, I'm sure I'd be consistently attacked for being an apologist for Israel. Find a post where I praise the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkmenistan, Morocco, or any other unfree unliberal Muslim autocracy. There aren't any such posts. You make the mistake of assuming that criticism of Israeli violence and oppression equals support of Arab violence and oppression. I point our their similarities, that's all. I praise neither. I never have.
