And where in Sobran's mind are Jews and Christians living the life of Reilly in one Arab or Islamic land? Again- there are hundreds of Mosques in Isreal. How many Christian Churches or Synagouges are there in Arab lands?

Irrelevant. No Islamic state claims to respect democracy, freedom and rights. Israel, on the other hand, claims to be a democracy that respects freedom and rights, yet Jews enjoy rights and legal protections that are not afforded to Arabs and Christians.

What is your real name?

Ask me that again AFTER you post your real name. Fair?

I don't know if you're aware of this (or any of the Israel bashers for that matter), but just for your information, the MAJORITY of the tactics employed by American forces on the ground in the 'war on terror' are learned from the Israelis.

The Israelis should take a lot of pride in the fact that the worlds biggest and most powerful military learns from them. That is respect.

Irrelevant. No Islamic state claims to respect democracy, freedom and rights. Israel, on the other hand, claims to be a democracy That is the favorite methods of bigots who fancy themselves intellectual. They follows a three-step procedure: (i) invent a higher, more stringent standard than is universal, (ii) apply it to the subject of your hate, (iii) show that the subject fails this artificial, often unreachable standard, (iv) reach the conclusion that the subject deserved to be hated.

Well, on FR, you may add (v) get appalled that your opponents stifle "the open dialogue and discussion" when you get caught using the above-described methodology.

So, Blade, you are just disturbed that Israel is not living up to the democratic ideals? You are disturbed because, just like our own one, their democracy could benefit from perfection?

I you continue to care about Israel and its democracy so much, I am afraid Mr. Sobran will count you among the "American Amen corner."
