So how about learning from the two wrongs and recognizing that a correct perspective emerges when you ignore and cancel out all the extremism? Zionists/Hamas are mirror opposites, otherwise precisely the same. Get rid of the fundamentalism, get rid of the ignorance, and then there will be a beginning on the path to peace. No one wants apologies for survival from war crimes, we just want an end to blood vengeance, paranoia, and the defense of free-market ideology that keeps most of the world population in total abjection. And believe it or not, the hatred Zahava and others on these posts sense as anti-semitism, is mostly anti-conservatism. (Like the whole "get a job" presumption with Ravi, because obviously anyone who attempts to articulate a moderate, critical position has to be an unemployed layabout).

Abe Bird, he's just an insane old man who's even been written up in his local newspapers as a Jew-hating nutcase. Which goes to show you: bigotry is just another form of insanity.

As wrong as he is, that's how wrong you are.

I guess the Arab nations really believe you are there because you were simply given it by non Arabs. As an outsider I can understand their anger and why they question the legitimacy of Israel's existence there. I can also understand the people of Israel wanting a safehaven, somewhere to call home for the sake of their children and their future. A very sad situation, unsolvable I think.

What an appalling thing to say. On that basis nor are there any Israeli civilians, given that Israel was found to have committed war crimes.
Next time an Israeli "civilian" is killed, I trust you will not complain…..but of course you will.

Tony Trenton There are none so blind as those who will not see, & the Gazans aren't the only ones, as the comments section sometimes shows. Sigh.

Yes, Bill Maher (of all people) has said pretty much the same thing – & he could get away with it only because he is supposedly a "comedian/entertainer" rather than an actual news commentator.
