Jack the Lad, the person who posts as GUEST,Allen also lives in Israel. Israel is represented here. Unfortunately, we don't also have any Palestinians posting here who live in the West Bank, Gaza, and/or East Jerusalem to tell us about their experiences in those places.

Despite all of Martin Gibson's lies to the contrary, I do support the existance of Israel. The problem I have with many of the arguments of people who are talking about the "new anti-Semitism" is that they don't take into consideration the many people, both Jew and non-Jew, who support the existance of Israel, but who are working to try to end the military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem and the segregated, Jewish only settlements in those places. To try to suggest that those of us who support the existance of the State of Israel but who want to see an end to the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem are anti-Israel and anti-Semitic, as Martin Gibson does, and as do many of the articles he has been posting here in the Mudcat, is not only totally dishonest, it is also hateful.

I support the existance and security of the State of Israel. I also support all of those people, inside of Israel as well as outside of it, both Jew and non-Jew, who support an end to the military occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, and an end to the segregated, Jewish only settlments.
