"Where is the outcry for the civilians caught in the crossfire? None, nada, why not? Because there are no israelis involved." Bull. It's because this is in AMERICA's interest, not Israels. The Taliban have AK-47's, heavy machine guns and RPG's, not rocks and unguided fireworks rockets. This is REAL collateral damage, not Israel punishing the Pals.

Thats my point from last weeks debate. If there were israelis fighting muslims in pakistan and civilians were being killed in these numbers there would be an outcry. If the israelis claimed like the paks are that taliban using human shields, it would be poo poohed. Get it now Ted. Do you understand why Jews get pissed off. Hell it aint only Jews because if US was doing same in afganistn as paks are now doing, you would be yelping against the US too. I think its unfortunate that you don't see the difference between what's happening in the Swat Valley and what happened in Gaza and Lebanon. Furthermore, I think its interesting that you see this as the Jews against the rest of the world. I don't see it that way. I see it as Israel, the nation, trying to impose its will on another people. That's why I don't want to argue this issue with you any longer........when you are cornered, you start yelling anti-Semitism. It becomes very personal for you even as you are a citizen of the US.
