I apologize for my impulsive outburts. I tend to get a bit agitated when I see criticisms of the Israels who I deeply respect and support. You are correct, I do tend to post "raw" at times.

Years ago, I was in an auditorium at a public university. My resources (student fees, and taxes) were used to pay for a speech by a PLO lieutenant of one certain Yasser Arafat. I saw and heard many things that day and it is forever embedded in my memory.

After the 1972 Olympic criminal action, and the countless killings of innocent Israelis, I saw the PLO speaker defend terrorist acts with the most vile propaganda and lies that I had ever known.

More disheartening to me than that was when I saw and heard certain fellow students rise up, proclaim their jewish identity and then promptly heap praise on that murderous thug and his brethren. I could barely believe my experience that day.

Over the years I have seen more of this trend in the media, and from many others in the public realm. I have concluded that there is indeed a war against the jews going on in this world.

I, will place my support with the Jews and especially the Israelis who are holding the front line for all of us against the insane people who threaten The very existence of all. I know that that is the right thing.

Again, I apologize for my rudeness.

Thank you for you courtesy. And thank you also for sharing that experience with me. After Sabra and Shatilla (spelling?), in early 1980s, I had a very similar experience. And, like you, what hurt me most was not the Palestinian progaganda but a few Jews who were getting out of their skins trying to prove that they are with them.

We always lose a few. But we endure...
