Yes, and my reference was specifically a jab at those who persist in calling Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims "subhuman animals".

My point was that ALL nations -- Jewish or otherwise -- are to be held to the same universal standards of human regard. This is an impossibility if folks persist in demonizing each other as subhuman.
Had I gone farther, I might have pointed out that excusing one's actions on the express basis of "tit for tat" when dealing with folks one clearly regards as morally deficient and hopeless unjust can ONLY mean that one is lowering themselves to that level.

Such arguments would be much more powerful and relevant if you saved them for when such practices as calling them subhuman are employed, or provide a link back to a place where such arguments were made by the people you are debating. Otherwise, it seems instigative.

Well, now see ... that is one of the most bothersome aspects of MAF's crusade to out me as a racist bigot interested only in ratcheting the vile nature of these threads.

If this forum hadn't been deluged with bloodthirsty, hateful, repugnant language -- Jim himself, even, refusing to warm to the idea of coming down hard on Muslim, as well as Mormon, bashing -- it would be one thing.

Instead, as I said, were I to start linking to every instance of Arab-bashing and dehumanization of Muslims into dogs I'd hardly be pressed to look first (or only) in the Israel threads these days.

Alouette's question was a simple one. Should Israel be held to a higher standard somehow?

Perhaps my answer should have been something along the lines of: You're damn right the Israelis should be held to a higher standard than terrorist-harboring, radicalized liars, thieves and thugs or the "subhuman dogs" so many around here feel perfectly justified in "exterminating" off the face of the planet.

If, for no other reason, than -- just as every action of the State of Israel is excused at the risk of seeming "anti-Semitic" -- then every action of the State of Israel must needs be an inherently "Jewish" action.

Right?
