"I just put Israel's case, as you put the Palestinian case.
How is that wrong?"

Because intelligent people don't pretend to take sides for sake of dry academic argument..
Certainly not as an excuse to absolve you of PUBLICLY SUPPORTING AN ABHORRENT ROGUE REGIME...!!!
..and certainly not while they are actively committing atrocities in the here and now..
Not eons ago in dusty history books....

You either really takes sides because of passionate belief in a side,
or you behave responsibly and remain neutral and objective..

Are you seriously surprised we all find it almost impossible to believe you...
and ridicule you ????

Grow up - and man up to what you really genuinely believe in...

I refuse to support either side and consistently condemn the fanatical zealots
causing conflict and death on both of them - yet you persistently accuse humanists like me
of being extremists...!!!??
