I didn't say one word about Palestinians being blameless. I gave you quotes from Reuters proving Israel committed atrocities. Here is what you said exactly: Murdering over 130 unarmed Palestinians isn't even the news in the US but if one Israeli is killed it's headline news. My point is we can't broker peace in the Middle East while we defend the barbarism of Israel. Any other country would be subjected to UN votes, condemnations and sanctions if it weren't for the US overriding the vetoes. It's always been odd for me to watch a people who suffered genocide engage in genocide. While the State is Israel is not the same as the Jewish people, the Jewish people tolerate these war crimes and crimes against humanity. And then you claim that you said nothing about Palestinians "being blameless"? If Palestinians aren't blameless, then what the Israelis are doing aren't "war crimes". Where are these quotes? You also said this: Any other country would be subjected to UN votes, condemnations and sanctions if it weren't for the US overriding the vetoes. And this is BS. I already cited many countries that are doing far worse things than Israel and they haven't been "subjected to UN votes, condemnations and sanctions". But Israel has been subjected to plenty of condemnation by the very countries that are committing real atrocities. You still haven't answered the question of why are you so outraged by what Israel is doing yet I don't think I've heard a word from you about any of the far more egregious crimes against humanity that are being committed in the mideast. Yeah, I'm touchy about it. I read every day about antisemitic violence or attempted violence. I can't help but believe that people who pay such close attention to what Israel does but pay no attention to the greater crimes of other countries share in that. For example: Miami man arrested during alleged arson attempt, wanted to 'kill all Jews' By Mark Osborne and DOMINICK PROTO Jul 14, 2018, 4:39 AM ET Miami Beach police arrested a "very dangerous guy" right in the middle of an attempted arson at a condominium complex Thursday night. Walter Stolper, 72, allegedly told responding officers he wanted to "kill all of the f------ Jews," according to the police report. The report says officers searched the man's condo in the building he was allegedly attempting to burn and found Nazi books and artifacts. Stolper was allegedly moving two canisters filled with gasoline in a shopping cart when officers arrived at the condo building's parking facility, and they located eight more canisters filled with gasoline in a garbage chute dumpster. continues at abcnews.go.com
