You are?

Don't get me started, please. For the record, I believe that Israel has a legal and moral right to ALL the territory encompassing Israel proper, West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights, and even the Sinai. I believe that the prevailing Palestinian and Arab political beliefs and practices are morally wrong. I believe that they have detestable cultural practices and are a general menace. Their anti-Semitism is deplorable. The world doesn't get it about how WRONG they really are.

And I shouldn't have had to say ANY of this to justify myself. You're starting to take on some of that monolithic "exterminate our enemies" mindset that's become so prevalent in the Arab world, or so it seems. Over there, if you object to somebody saying "death to the Jews", you'll probably get your loyalty questioned too.

I live in a black and white world. No grey. Good versus evil. And because evil exists and thrives does not mean I should remain silent in hopes it ends on it's own. And speaking out against it does not make me like (or "same as") them. That would be like saying George Bush is no better than Osama; he wants GW dead, GW wants him dead. So that makes them alike? I think not.
I think we agree on much, maybe different angles on some areas.

Cheers.
