I don't buy item 2 in the list.

I believe anybody should be free to compare anyone or anything to anyone or anything else, calling to attention:

-- similarities
-- differences

without being labeled "anti-anything".

Namaste!

Jim

I read that today and noticed that one thing he didn't really address is:

The United States' relationship with Israel

This is the only thing I am interested in. Regarding who controls the media blah blah blah, that is nonsense for conspiracy theorists.

I am interested in a cold, hard look at:

U.S. relationship with Israel
COSTS
BENEFITS

I want a balance sheet. What has this relationship cost us over the decades? What has it gained us?

Weigh one against the other.

Here we go again. The same old song and dance: let's talk about the rules of how we talk about the transgressors, instead of talking about the transgressions. Why can't we just talk about the mistreatment of the Palestineans? Why is that anti-semetic? I think the APACs are completely out of hand, financed by our own money. Anti-semetic? Looks to me that our own interests always come in dead last. What a gucked up government we have.
Just because a kid was abused as a child, we don't let him abuse society when he's grown up. But in Israel's case, they're allowed to reply to stones with bullets, because they have a right to defend themselves.
Looks to me like they've put themselves out of the common realm of humanity's laws, i.e. the UN. They're above it, don't have to compromise & make peace, because they're stronger. Thanks to the USA.
It's not going to work. We won't survive a nuclear war.
