re: just as susceptible to such human emotions and reactions as outrage, revenge, hatred etc. and I suppose reputation of Israeli army as most highly trained and disciplined in the world count for nothing in your book Of course, they count for something. I have the highest respect for most things Israeli. That doesn't change the fact that they are human. The real problem is that you hold them in the highest regard and everyone else is guilty until proven innocent and even then........... re: Israel does not wipe out the Palestinians because the world is watching. and this is your A$$s opinion or a proven fact? Of course. Israel has to be on its best behavior most times. And it counts for nothing that PLO just recently removed destruction of Israel from its charter and hamas' ultimate goal is still the destruction of Israel. I'm sorry. Would you point out where I said the Palestinians were these wonderful people who are innocent of any wrong doing? It was Golda who said that we will forgive you for killing our children but we will never forgive you for making us kill yours. One of the more horrific statements of our times but Ms. Meir got it wrong. No one is making Israel kill the children of Palestine but Israel. Do the facts matter if they don't support your hatred of Jews or the facts just cloud the issue. BTW I do mean hatred of Jews and not Israel because you are the one who told me that it is waste of time talking to me once you found out that I am a Jew. I know you won't believe this because you've spent you whole life thinking that if someone is not with you, then they are against you, but I don't hate Jews and I don't hate Israel. I have grown up with Jews and tend to feel more comfortable around them than I do Christians even though I was raised Christian. It seems to me that Christians wear a lot of masks like Bush and his followers. Jews tend to be more real......esp. Israelis. Some of my best times were in LA in the early 1990s when my Israeli friends and I would go out for drinks and talk politics. However, that doesn't keep me from looking at things realistically. IMO US foreign policy has way too much bias for all things Israeli, and again IMO that has to change to some degree. I am not saying to abandon Israel but to move more towards the middle in terms of the conflict between Arabs and Jews.
