Well I'm glad to hear you say that you are being exposed to more historical facts, even if none of them seem to show up in your posts.

I would actually like nothing better than to have a nuanced discussion of Israel's policies, which I do have many criticisms of. But to do that, I need to have Israel treated by approximately the same yardstick as other democracies: that it have a right to exist and its people a right to survive, and that its actions be judged in context, and that the context include judging the behavior of both sides of the conflict, since the behavior of one side naturally influences the behavior of the other.

This alas, is the exception far more than the rule for Israel.

Why doesn't Nadine LIVE in Israel? She never answers that question. It's obviously where her heart is.
