Subject: RE: BS: Islamic Protest in Wootton Bassett
I remind you of your original comment bringing Jews into the equation:

And I have posted many links to wonderful things said by Israeli Jews and groups made up of Muslims AND Jews who are all working for peace in Israel, so I'm sorry, but I take umbridge at your remarks there because you ignored those posts, as you have a very different view of Israel to me.

It's not about Jews, and never has been. Not only have I never framed the issue as being about Jews, I have consistently maintained that it is not about Jews. It is about governments. In the case of Israel, it is about an imperialist, colonialist, largely European government that is committing crimes against an indigenous population. Whether or not that government is Jewish is totally irrelevant. And that's also how it should be with Muslims.
