I have opinions, I state my opinions and I make it clear when they differ from somebody else's opinions. What I don't do is lecture anybody on who they oughta be, what they oughta think, and how they should behave...which is your perpetually staked out turf, Finn. So stuff it...I already have a goddamn mother.

And I know a petty, pompous-ass Jew-basher when I see/hear one. Everybody here wants to excuse it...that's everybody's problem. And BTW, he's no less an off-topic cheap shot artist than 5 below was. Diving into a discussion with some personal comment unrelated to the debate. And what have we seen happen to a similarly behaved right-winger pompous idiot? He was handed his hat and shown the door.

You really should move to Israel. Your single-minded rudeness/hostility would fit in quite well there. If you want, I can even recommend an appropriate town/neighborhood. It is very expensive there though. I'm not sure your stipend from AIPAC will be enough. You may need to ask them for a raise

It's gotten to this: in this topic, I don't read Ike's posts.

I wish this thread would die a mean and grisly death so we could go back to slapping around some 'baggers.

Hard for a thread to die when people keep posting in it.

I do.

That way, I always have an up-to-the-second definition of apologist lunacy.

Diito...and I remain updated on the latest styles in empty-headed pompous arrogance.

But it won't Bob. And the reason why it won't is because certain alleged lefty's can't tolerate a progressive who isn't straight down the road lockstep pro-Palestinian anti-Israel. If I were the latest new arrival of whelly or was with this fucked-up attitude...we'd all just be rolling merrily along.

And I find it fascinatin' since I continue to explore the web for the incident where the Jews flew a jetliner into a public place in this country and incinerated and crushed a few thousand innocent Americans. Can't find it. Anybody got a link?

When I first posted my opinion on this I predicted that there will be a pack of liberal hounds who just won't be able to let it go. Too bad for me I'm not a bagger, eh?

You can explore the web all you want and not find anything about Palestinians doing this either. The hijackers were from another of our Mideastern "allies," Saudi Arabia. Another specious, conflating argument like nearly all of your arguments on this thread.

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?

Ah...it's the Spiro Agnew love it or leave exhortation.

And it's pot/kettle when you just can't seem to pass on the opportunity to lecture somebody else on their bad character. You know what we say in the 12-step Finn? You spot it, you got it.

Not love it or leave it. It's more like love it and move there.
