"Yet you keep saying you have the moral high ground."
Where?
"SO, if it is OK to commit war crimes if one is invaded, "
Where has anybody said that? some people, me included, have said that it is acceptable for people to defend themselves when attacked - it is the Israelis who have consistently committed war crimes (chemical (illegal) weapons, piracy, destruction of hospitals and schools...) and have refused to co-operate with the United Nations investigation team - why, if they've nothing to hide (unless, of course, they are all anti-Semits too)?
"I do not think Emma or Foolestroupe are with you on that Jim."
Once again you are parasiting on other people's ideas by claiming them as your own. Can't you speak for yourself? Emma and Foolstroop are articulate people who put forward their own ideas; if I disagree with them, I will say so (I don't see a great deal of conflict here), but they are both capable of speaking for themselves - you just echo what others say or bounce off what others have said - no original ideas - just like previous threads
"I have not and do not support Israel's abuses. I just seek balance."
Then why not acknowledge and condemn or excuse, if you can, the Shatila and Sabra massacres, the attacks on civilians, which you denied happened despite filmed and eye witness evidence, the chemical attacks on occupied townships, the destruction of hospitals and schools.....
"I think you are in a place on your own."
I suggest you count your supporters on this and the two previous threads and come back when you have a number. You and BB appear to be the only supporters or apologists of Israel's atrocities here.
