However, holding Israel to a standard of perfection and absolute "morality" that is not at the same time demanded of the Palestinians or any other neighboring Arab nation is indeed subjective, insane, and anti-Jewish.

I would never think of holding the Israelis to a higher standard than so-called "subhuman animals".

Alouette ... I judge acts on their essentially Good or essentially Evil nature. This is one reason I'm so dead against what I call the "alchemy of pragmatism".

We're all human beings, Alouette, and -- though some of us may have been subjected to the conditioning and hatred and ideological oppression that deforms our consciences -- we do have God's law written on our hearts.

We all know right from wrong. It's up to us to hold each other to that minimum standard ... regardless the circumstances.

Askel, can you please clarify something for me? I usually do not hang out on these threads too long for a number of reasons, but something you posted recently made me think I should pay closer attention. So, here I am tonight reading this thread. My question:

Alouette's post:

Your reply:

Why did you throw the term "subhuman animals" into the discussion and who were you referring to as "subhuman animals"? I cannot tell from your reply if you are speaking of Israelis or Palestinians.

You then remind(?) Alouette that "We're all human beings, Alouette...", yet you are the one who used the term "subhuman animals" to describe someone, I'm not sure who yet.

It's no wonder these threads get so ugly.
