Will you call me "anti-semetic", now?

Yes, he will.

Sad to see more and more "conservatives" resorting to attacks liberals use, like calling someone racist, bigot, etc., when they disagree with them.

You do make a good point. It is in Israel's best interest that the US invade Iran, get rid of their nuclear program, etc.I just don't think that's our problem.

And saying Israel should rely on their own power for their own security, and not to rely on others is not "anti-semitic."

I disagree with practically everyone on this thread, but I've only called you an antisemite, as is apparent to anyone actually paying attention. There's a reason for that.

I agree up to a point. Our stated alibi is that to aid Israel (not the biblical Israel, which was 12 tribes +1 to teach and preach) to keep the middle east from destabilizing. Laughter. The middle east has been in a historical state of destabilization, and I just can't see how Israel stabilized it, unless it just draws the fire of the Sons of Ismael.

My reason to sack Iran is because of its ties to the supplying of terrorists and its work on nuclear materials engineering. If they can make a big nuke, they can make a small one, maybe to sneak into America, where I live.

And saying Israel should rely on their own power for their own security, and not to rely on others is not "anti-semitic."

I agree. The accepted human maxims of the ages can't possibly be "anti-semetic". If I pay someone's rent, groceries, utilities, gas and clothes, I automatically have a right to tell him to get a job, and enforce it. That's the ancient principle that we ignore so spasmodically nowadays. You lose sovereignty (the final say in a matter) to another when you depend on the other. Israel spasmodically forgets this.
