"MY approach?? "

Well BB - I have read posts of yours in the past which don't so much insinuate as clearly imply that if you condemn the Israeli Government the only possible reason is that you hate Jews.

That is certainly Bobads approach, and now it would appear to be robertos approach.


Though in Robertos case, he says "you are an israeli hater because you are x" but then when it turns out that you are not in fact "x" at all, he states that you are an Israeli hater because you are not "x".

In other words, it is true because he says it is true.


The fact is, that of all of those debating here, those who condemn Israeli aggression also condemn Palestinian Aggression, with the POSSIBLE exception of one, but only if you accept the rationale of those who accuse him of sympathizing with Palestinian Agression.

In other words, those on this website who condemn Israeli aggression, do so from a non partisan and impartial standpoint.

Those who support Israeli agression accuse those who condemn it of being Israel Haters.

You would like to condemn Hamas and exonerate thugs like Sharon.

Not very impartial ... very partisan.

Equally, all those who condemn Israeli agression refer not to pro-palestinian sources, not to pro israeli sources, but to independant and accredited sources.

Those who support Israeli agression refer frequently to pro israeli sources, and if the impartiality of these is questioned, their response is to say that the source is only questioned because it is Jewish.

In other words, if the impartiality a pro Israeli source is questioned it can only be because the questioner is a bigot.

Thus our pro Israeli contributors 'immunize' their own sources from criticism.

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that there is a small group of contributors here who see the world as being divided between Jews and Jew haters.

If you criticize Israel, you are a Jew hater.

If you have sympathy for Palestinians you are a Jew hater.


This small group of contributors is responsible for the reams and reams of words that have been puked up here.

Why?

Because on any other subject, we are able to exchange views, evolve and learn.

On this subject, the unconditionally-pro-Israel group will not budge. They will not consider that the Israeli Government and the IDF might be doing it wrong.

They will see any suggestion of that nature as being inspired by a hatred of Jews.

In Bobads case, he just has a low opinion of Moslems as has been shown clearly by his comments in another thread, and I've forgotten who it was who tried sharing a little joke with him about those bungling palestinians killing themselves with their rockets.

Oh very witty.

Such comments make me sick.
