I dislike stuff like "MtheGM is busy stirring his bitter soup" as much as I do "little Shitbag Shouter", and I would never dream of defending either.

But that quote from Lox does indeed seem tenable to me, though expressed in an inflammatory way. Israel's Government policy does indeed damage the interests of the Israeli people, Jewish or non-Jewish (and I note that you, MtheGM has indicated that you judge it that way), and it has indeed led to the death of thousands of children over the years.

The crucial difference here should be between those who think that violence in this conflict is justified, at least by one side which they favour, and those who do not.
