Not that its relevant, but I'm neither Jewish nor a Christian fundamentalist who feels obligated to support Israel for religious reasons. If I was and you base your argument against what I say on that it would be Ad hominem circumstantial ("you just say that because you are Jewish") or Ad hominem abusive.

I do support the right of Israel to exist, but once again that isn't the issue. If Israel's right to exist in its current state was totally uncontested by a single person on the face of the earth it still could have made a deliberate attack. If Israel was the most evil and illegitimate state in history it still could have been an accident. Arguments either for "it was a deliberate attack" or "it was a mistake", rise or fall on their own merits, not based on the religion of the person making the argument, or on the Isreal's nature or legitimacy.
