"Says who Jim?"
The facts, which you spend a great deal of time denying.
The U.S. has used its veto over 100 times to prevent Israel being tried faor war crimes.
Sabra/Shatila is an open book on Israel's facilitating the massacre of over 3,000,000 unarmed refugees - denied by Israel, supported by nobody else.
The fact that self-interested nations have remained silent does not make the photographs and films of white phosphorus showering down on occupied areas, or of flechette missiles or the reports of occupied hospitals being destroyed, or of the movement of nomadic peoples onto toxic rubbish dumps..... (all reported and verified) go away.
That there are "nastier people" around is indisputable - many of them are Britain's allies and customers for their weapons, but this does not alter the fact that Israel is a terrorist state - all the political opportunism and self-interested appeasement proves nothing - the Western World saton its hands and watched while the regime which sent six million Jews into the gas chambers rose to power.
Even Jews recognise Israel as being a terrorist state - the definition of Antisemitism carefully disassociates itself from Israeli behaviour.
s early as 1949, some of the finest Jewish minds, including Albert Einstein, posted a letter to the press warning of the Zionist fascism in Israel - were they antisemitic.
The fact that politicians and statesmen prevent one of the world's great war criminals prevent a regime from standing trial is not an indication of innocence - if Israel is so innocent, why not prove it publicly?
"why did you post about the antics of one small group of Jews....."
Possibly for the same reason you have persistently attempted tp show that the behaviour of a minuscule number of criminals in Britain is the result of their culture
In my case, I believe that all religious fundamentalism gives rise to insanity such as 'women shouldn't drive cars"
What's your excuse?
Why don't I condemn Muslim extremism - I do - I denied all forms of religious extremism without qualification or excuse.
I tend not to seperate one from the other because there are people (no names mentioned) who use the condemnation of the behaviour of extremists to condemn whole cultures.
Israel is a nuclear power and therefore a special case while it is in the hands of expansionist extremists - a world threat.
