You started the personal attacks a couple of days ago by calling people who criticize Israel for its treatment of Palestinians, Israel haters and Jew haters. You've been using those kinds of bully tactics for a very long time to silence people who are working hard to help Palestinians gain their freedom and their rights. I don't focus on Hamas and Hezbollah because I know that focusing on them will not solve the problem. Removing the reason for the existance of Hamas and Hezbollah will solve the problem, and it will remove Hamas and Hezbollah. So that is what I am putting my energies into to try to help bring this about.

I don't speak out against Israel's treatment of the Palestinians (as well as some of its other neighbors) just to criticize Israel. I do it because that's how this problem will be solved. By bringing the situation to the attention to as many people as possible. As the former Israeli soldiers in the video I posted said, it's US public opinion that drives this conflict or solves it. I have a responsibility as a tax payer in this country to work hard to try to help solve the problem, because my money is helping to create it.

But what you are doing and have been doing for a very long time is trying to silence people who are working to help the Palestinians, and by extension, also helping to remove the reason for the existence of Hamas and Hezbollah, and bring peace to the Middle East. And you do it by bullying them and making character assassinations against them. This tactic has been in use for a very long time, but it's losing its effectiveness as more and more people are able to see that what they've been told for so long are lies.

That's what happened to me in 2002. Prior to that time, I held the same beliefs about the Middle East as you and most everyone else. But that changed for me, and since 2002, when I first started talking about it, I've seen a steady and almost exponential increase in the number of people who are becoming aware of the reality in occupied Palestine and who can now see through the lies they've been told all their lives. The numbers of such people have grown so much that the difference is like night and day compared to 2002. And these people are Christians, Jews, Muslims, and people of other religions and of no religion.

The bully tactics just won't work any longer. The time has passed for that kind of thing. People will not be silenced.
