As disturbed as you were about the deaths in Iraq.
So, since I believe that the deliberate targeting of civilians in both cases is evil and inexcusable, so do you.

Why do you care more about the Israelis than the Iraqis?

You lie.

I guess because you can't face your position head on, because you know it's morally bankrupt.

Why can't you just agree that deliberately targeting civilians, whether in the World Trade Towers, by Israeli armed forces or settlers, in Iraq, or on an Israeli bus is evil and cannot be justified in any way whatsoever? Why do you believe that 9/11 attacks are somehow justified?


I have never said that. You are intentionally trying to muddy up the waters and confuse the issue, and I resent it.

The real question is why what we are doing in Iraq is acceptable to you but not what the Palestinians are doing in Israel?

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."

— Mark Twain
