Thread Name: BS: Anti-Semitism & The Left
Subject: RE: BS: Anti-Semitism & The Left
Jews support Israel no matter who is in charge, because the loyalty is to Israel, not to the man. Israel is a democracy and elected Sharon. Someone may not agree with all of his politics, but I can tell you for a fact that Jews overall will support Israel no matter who is in charge.

I dont' disagree with this. My point is that to say that not supporting the current government of Israel amounts to not supporting Israel is a red herring and a non-sequiter.

I am sure that you come into contact with just as many Jews everyday from your perch overlooking the rural Alabama trailer court landscape as you do liberal intellectuals.

You're probably right. But I'm not in a perch overlooking the trailer court. I'm smack dab right in the middle of it the trailer court.
