Well spoken. Alas, I don’t think you are going to get anyone listening to you around here. I always find it extraordinary that the Israelis, subject to terror on so frequent a basis, will exult Jewish terror groups like the Irgun and the Stern Gang (there is a whole town in Israel named after Abraham Stern). This was the Stern Gang who was so blinkered in its hatred for Britain that it reached out to Hitler and later assassinated Count Folke Bernadotte, who had done so much to save Jews during the Holocaust. Alas, at least when it comes to how Britain is regarded, the Jabotinsky-Irgun-Stern strain runs deep in Israeli society.

You're undoubtedly right. But still, a counter argument is there for people to read, if they want. More people read threads that post to them, and as someone who read Free Republic for a long time before I ever replied to anything, I think people can tell when someone's genuinely making points and when someone's just venting.

With Israel, it's a shame her PR is so bad - especially the anti-semite/jew-hater rhetoric that gets thrown around at the drop of a hat.
