Where's the deep politics? Does that come when the bashing is over?
David,
In the past we've found much on which to agree. In addition, I'm certain you'll recall the many heartfelt kind words I've sent your way over the years.
So while I'm not offended by your charge of "Jew bashing" on this forum, I must stand to correct you in the strongest possible terms.
If referencing war crimes being committed by the State of Israel is "Jew bashing," then referencing war crimes being committed by George W. Bush's America is "Gentile bashing."
Israel is a criminal nation. So is America. That is to say, many of the respective official national policies of these countries violate international law and stand as crimes against humanity.
Period.
The religious affiliations of the criminals are not relevant to my judgements herein offered.
Respectfully,
Charles

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
