"Why not leave with the baby if you're so disgruntled."

I'm not disgruntled. Just remarking about how one has to walk a tight rope, it seems, when attempting to criticize Israel. Your response can serve as an example of the attitude to which I was referring. And I didn't even criticize Israel. I am a big supporter of Israel but it hasn't been difficult to watch posters disappear after posting intellectually honest criticisms of Israel.

What one considers "intellectual honesty" may be considered a whacked out opinion by others. If one (and I don't mean you) cannot defend those opinions then.......

What are you talking about? I criticize Israel all the time and never a problem.
I suspect it's how you do it.

If the SMs* commit another of their daily atrocities and you respond with "Israel blah blah blah" I would bounce you in a minute...
For attention deficit disorder.

I just don't like to see people criticizing FR.

There is no place like it and anyone who doesn't like it can leave.

back before i was enlightened, i posted a criticism of the IDF for using what i termed "nazi tactics" when they knocked down the houses of terrorists' families. i was criticized by many freepers, but no one banned me or even removed my post.
you really have to work at it to get banned or to get a post removed.
