BTW, the nastiness of one's enemy doesn't automatically render all of one's tactics to fight this enemy above criticism. Saddam was a very bad guy, yet our tactics there resulted in numerous critical books from respected American authors. Why is it that Israel's tactics are always and inherently beyond reproach?

It is a cheap, intellectually lazy response to always state that anti-Semitism is the source of all criticism or misgivings about Israel's approach or that since their enemy is nasty, any and all tactics are also above criticism. This standard doesn't apply to criticism of our own country or any other ally. Why should it apply only to Israel?
There's no difference between Hamas and Al-Qaeda. They both want everybody who disagrees with them dead...the both want a Caliphate.

Now...your last paragraph is just a fucking lie. Grow up and be honest for christ's sake. I never stated that anti-Semitism is the source of all critcism of Israel and you fucking know it. I've stated that anti-Semitism is the basis for one member's behavior here on this forum. And that history, and their own statements show us that anti-Semitism is the basis for Hamas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations attitude toward the State of Israel. The historical fact that the "occupation" of the West Bank and Gaza by Jordan and Egypt in 1948 was virtually no problem, proves it. The occupation was not a problem until it was an occupation by the Jews.

As far as my "intellectually lazy" responses...yours are typically pompous, arrogant, terminally unique responses. I hesitatingly state this as I prefer to state my opinions on the issues, not my opinions on the character of other members...as is your habit. So this has become tit for tat with you Finn. You asked for it...you got it.

While they both are certainly evil, it still doesn't necessarily render them equal, nor does it automatically render all tactics used against (by anyone) them beyond criticism.

It most certainly has been the animating characteristic of all your posts on the subject of Israel, as it was on the other thread that elicited the "persecution complex" response from me. Resorting to accusations of anti-semitism are the "trump card" used when rational arguments fail, kind of like "racism" is used by Al Sharpton to explain everything, including the tomorrow's sunrise. Give the whole "anti-semitism" thing a rest, Ike. It diminishes the rest of your arguments.

By reading your own posts, obviously.

You miss the point.

1. I've already won this argument.
2. I just enjoy how I don't even ask you to jump anymore.

All too easy.

The animating characteristic of your posts is your terminal uniqueness. Tell me again how you're an expert on all things Israeli/Palestinian due to your wandering aimlessly around the west bank for 72 hours.

What a steaming pile of babbling amateur psychoanalysis. The only thing that elicited the "persecution complex" comment from you was your failure to have anything substantive to say.

Actually, it's to enjoy watching you ask "how high?"

Once he accuses you of being "terminally unique," he's admitting to having lost the argument (i.e., he's admitting that his emotionally-charged counter-factual argument has run into a brick wall of someone with a better informed argument).
