I appreciate your response to the questions. I guess we can agree to disagree on a few issues, but it doesnt seem like you are a confirmed member of the rabid anti-semite club to me, so please accept my apologies.

Yes, there were Christians all over the Middle East, for centuries. Lebanon was envisioned as a Christian state, and partitioned as such. Unfortunately, it was overthrown and occupied by Islamists a few decades back, and the rest of the Middle East Christians have been living in persecution for decades. The real guiding question concerning Middle East Christians is where do they go to escape religious persecution- The Copts, Marionites, Palestinian Christians, etc who live in countries in the Middle East that are extremely hostile to them and keep them in virtual dhimmitude. This is a perplexing question, and one that deserves to be given some real attention.

I know of few committed Zionist Christians or Zionist Jews who wish to commit genocide to solve the Palestinian problem. I can see where it would be easy to draw that conclusion from extremist statements of some of them make, but I have learned to consider the source when I see or hear these statements.

There are admittedly some who are maybe a little more attached to the cause than is healthy, but true practitioners of both religious traditions call for preservation of human life, and no one advocates or even wants to be associated with a perverted 21st century version of the "Final Solution" when the Palestinian issue is addressed.

Anyone who is well read and knows any history at all knows the drumroll of anti-semitism is the prelude to a totalitarian movement with designs on world control. The only difference between the Hitlerian anti-semites of the 1940's and the Islamic/Leftist anti-semites of today is the fact todays anti-semites include both Jews and Zionist Christians on the list to be dealt with, as well as the nation of Israel, in their version of the "Final Solution" which is apparently still being cooked up.

The huge flaw in their logic is the fact that the actions they take to disestablish and weaken the nation of Israel could eventually result in a genocide of epic proportions if the Arabs took advantage of the results their actions gained and drew Israel into a prolonged war.

Thats my reason for my committed defense of Israel. I dont want to see this end up in genocide-which it very well could if this isnt addressed and is allowed to grow.

This is a rather doctrinaire statement. I think in the vast majority of cases it would be more intellectually honest to admit these people have concluded the Palestinians are absolutely intransigent, and are willing to play by Palestinian rules, instead of claiming they "wish to commit genocide."

I have never heard of any "Kach" members or other "extremists" advocating genocide of the "Palestinians". The most "extreme" solution that I have ever heard is equally distributing the "Palestinians" among the Arab and Muslim nations and letting them take care of the Frankenstein monster that they created.

The "Palestinians" and their supporters openly advocate genocide of all the Jews.
