"The only thing wrong with your comments is that Israel and Judiasm is synonomous."

To some people, yes, that's true. However not to all. I post often and you know what I think of your President. Martin, I do not think that of Americans. If I write against the policies of your country, that does not mean that I am against you as a citizen of that country. I have too many American friends ever to think that way.

This is not the third axiom from Euclid's geometry: Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.

I do not like Hamas. I would wish their leadership be treated the way all terrorists should be treated. You know what I mean by that. However, I do not dislike Palestinians. I belong to no specific religion, so I have no ax to grind in that regard. (As I told you once before, decades ago I considered conversion to Judaism.) The problem here and now is that many people do have a dislike of Israel's policies yet harbour no hatred for Jews. And many people--myself included--have a dislike of 'Arabic' policies and do not harbour a dislike for Arabs. I think we have to keep that claer in our own heads, regardless of what's going through the heads of others. Shalom.
