<<< The State of Israel has always been cynically exploiting allegations of anti-semitism, condemning purported and cooperating with actual anti-semites at will. Last week, to quote just a minor example, when the world was outraged by Italy's monarch Berlusconi's claim that his fascist predecessor Mussolini "had not killed anybody but just sent people to holidays in exile" – which comes fairly close to Holocaust denial – the only official Israeli reaction was that of an unnamed spokesman for the 2nd Minister in the Ministry of Finance, who mumbled that "If the words have been said (!), one can not agree with them, since History speaks for itself" (Ha'aretz 14.9, p.12 bottom). The reason for this ear-deafening outcry is simple: Berlusconi, like most right-wing extremists, has taken a decisive pro-Israel stand in Europe. So let him even deny the Holocaust if he likes, Israel will show understanding. After all, Israel was a closest ally of the most racist regime in the post-WWII era, South Africa's Apartheid: moral considerations have never played any role whatsoever in Israel's politics and diplomacy. >>> antiwar.com

And you support cowardly Hamass suicide bombers right? Do you deny that? Do you believe it is a valid military option to strap bombs to children and send them to slaughter innocent civilians? Was 9/11 a valid military strategy?

You wrote:<font color=blue>"As predicted, the Jewish Anti-Defamation League fully supports Berlusconi, because he supports Israeli slaughter of Arabs:"<font color=black> Why are you so dishonest and shallow? Why do you have to constantly use lies to push your disgusting hate agenda? You are accusing Israel of slaughtering Arabs. That is a disgusting, ignorant lie that only shows how obnoxious and lacking of character that you are. Here is a news item that even an idiot like you might be able to understand: Three Jewish would-be terrorists sentenced to 12-15 year jail terms "The Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday sentenced three of the members of the Bat Ayin gang to up to 15 years in jail for the attempted bombing of Palestinian schoolgirls in Jerusalem 17 months ago." jpost.com Also from the article: "The defendants wanted to extract revenge on the Palestinians using the same [terrorist] currency," wrote the judges. "A law abiding state cannot permit its inhabitants to take the law into their own hands and go wild. The state must thwart every terrorist act." The judges added "by their acts, the defendants expressed their desire to stoop to the same low moral depths of the terrorists. The operation that the defendants wanted to carry out would have placed them, and perhaps the entire Israeli people, on the same level as the wicked acts carried out by the terrorists."
