They (speaking generally of their ilk) are and have been involved in a litany of leftist causes revolving around the theme of "peace".

I cannot think of a better cause than to stop the suicide bombings that kill innocent jews.

Several of the aforementioned are actively involved in the "landmine" cause. I certainly think those energies are properly diverted, at least temporarily, to the cause of stopping the suicide bombings.

Look---let's stop kidding ourselves. I was at a Springsteen concert in 85 and he said, and I quote (he said this a lot), "Nobody wins unless everybody wins." Bono is demanding that the West liquidate its assets to those who have not created their own wealth. These are the ideals of communism and of socialists. These people hate Israel because 1) Israel represents a free society which means free market capitalism, and commies hate freedom, preferring a total state, and 2) there is a nasty undercurrent of anti-semitism, I regret to say.

So you're saying that Springsteen and Bono must be anti-semites because Springsteen mouthed some vaguely egalitarian cliches in his concerts, and because Bono advocates forgiving the debt of Third World nations? That's quite a stretch, to say the least.

If Israel represents a free society then I am missing something. I thought that certain people who were born in the state of Israel can't vote in their elections. Am I misinformed? I thought that there are roads and areas in Israel where only certain types of people born in Israel can travel. Am I misinformed about this too?

If I am mistaken please direct me to a reliable source for the facts. If I am not mistaken then it is disingenuous to call Israel a free society.
