<I think it's Jew hating in general...> How do you square that, with my posts in favor of Israel as the 51st State, under the protection of the U.S. army (after a Land for Peace deal, and a withdrawal to the 1967 frontiers with minor modifications)? Is it for love, then, that you insist that Israel should be punished for failing to live up to your very highest standards of behavior while fighting a war, while demanding nothing at all of their enemies? Holding Jews up to a uniquely high standard of behavior, and singling Jews out for criticism and/or punishment for not living up to this unique standard of behavior, is a standard technique of anti-Semites. Not that I say you are one, but you are starting to sound the same tropes. Not only is this line of thinking grossly unfair, it ensures that there will never be peace in the Mideast. The Palestinians have learned to use this thinking to promulgate the idea that they are such helpless victims that they should never be expected to honor any of their commitments. People who think like you enable this dysfunction. There will be no peace until someone is prepared to be fair to and put pressure on both sides. Being fair means judging both sides by the SAME standard of behavior, not condemning one while excusing the other.
