I will not deny that there may be historical exceptions or that there have been terrorist attacks. Still, there needs to be a common recognition that everyone has basic human rights, and that two wrongs do not make a right. If one is not starting from there, then one arrives at some permutation of the ultimate solution. Some people can't be more equal than others. Honestly, if someone came and bulldozed my home, put me under a curfew, denied me a means to make a living, inflicted collateral damage on my neighors and relatives, etc., etc., I would regard that someone as a mortal enemy.

And you still have not address why the US should enter into entangling alliances with people who do this under the color of law.

Do you think that the Israelis all woke up one fine morning and said, "we are going to inflict a system of bulldozing, humiliations, lockouts, checkpoints and other inconveniences" on a completely innocent, benign population that only wanted to be left in peace? That all these things you complain about are being done out of sheer racism against inoffensive and harmless creatures who have done no harm to their oppressors? Pull your head out of your rump.

You would be correct if no bus bombings ever took place, if no pizza parlors, cafes, shopping malls and Passover services were ever interrupted by so much as a poverty-stricken Palestinian panhandler meekly approaching with hat in hand, begging "Please, sir, may I have some more?"

You said, "some people can't be more equal than others" but you quite obviously give the Arabs a free pass to murder as many Jews as they like for the noble objective of achieving a COMPLETELY JUDENREIN PALESTINIAN STATE FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA. But you throw a hissy fit over inconveniences of "checkpoints" which inflict "humiliations" as the Israelis attempt to protect themselves by preventing access to genocidal maniacs.

What would you do to protect yourself against genocidal maniacs who have stated that their objective is not to live side-by-side in peace, but to destroy you and yours until no shred is left. Obviously nothing that the Israelis do in self-defense is acceptable to you. The only thing that they can do that would achieve your respect is to march into the sea.

And if I were exploding nail bombs in crowded shopping malls full of innocent women and children I would want useful idiots, like you, to present my case against Zionists to the world....
