I'm not the one who's being exposed. You are being shown as someone who is so convinced his belief system is right he will disregard all evidence to the contrary, on the grounds that it is being produced by "the enemy". It is a circular argument. What you are effectively saying is that I believe in A, and any evidence for B must be wrong because it doesn't say A.

I think your mind is closed and your heart is full of hate, and I pity you for that. Stop thinking that everyone is your enemy! There's no need to hurl invective like "camel lover", and "ignorant useful infidel" around. You feel free to call other people names - can't you see that in most people that kind of behaviour encourages retaliation - which no doubt would be promptly siezed upon as evidence of "antisemitism".

Looking over the "Deir Yassin massacre" I see now that it is a political hot potato, with people from all sides minimising/exagerating/distorting/confusing what happened to support their own agenda. Pretty much what you are doing actually. Its certainly evident that there was a battle there and that the Irgun and the Stern gang had gone in very hard. Now, civilians get caught in the crossfire in war. It's unpleasant but it happens. However, Jacques de Reynier, head of the the IRC commission, said in his memoirs that he saw israeli irregulars wielding "blood stained cutlasses", and he testified that some of the casualties had been "finished off" with knives. Certainly the Jewish commission in Palestine, the Haganah and the Palmach (REAL soldiers) all condemned the Irgun and the Stern Gang.

I'm quite sure none of this will convince you.
