No, it is most certainly not slanderous. I used to visit and tried to learn more about libertarianism at another web site. I thought my political philosophy lined up more with libertarians than conservatism. I left when all the talk was anti-Israel and pro palestinian terrorists. It was disheartening. Confusing. I continue to have respect for the owners of the site but not an ounce for the posters.
I do not lie when I post pghliberty. I determined I had nothing to learn from the hate that they spewed. Hate not only towards Israel but to any Christian that believed in supporting Israel. However I made it clear that our support did not mean blind support or even financial support, I was still chewed up and spit out and was disregarded because I held Christian beliefs. In fact, your post doesn't bear much weight on the side of kindness either. I don't post 'slanderous garbage'!
I will say this. I don't believe that all libertarians feel the same as those at that web site. But, it was a good number of them. Enough to alarm me and to part company not only from them but from libertarian philosophy.
Your post *was* a sweeping generalization, and the hundreds of libertarians I know don't "hate" israel.
Perhaps you assume because someone is not pro your policy that they hate the beneficiaries?? That's not the case.
While I can list a host of reasons why Israel currently is in the state it is, and have serious misgivings about their policies and future based on their very premise of existence, I don't hate Israel. Nor do I love it. Simply, it has no more right to pick my pocket than do you or any other foreign policy initiative spouted by our politicians. Yet U.S. policies allow for such. I don’t like it, I don’t care if its Israel, India, Japan or our farmers. Most libertarians would agree except for a fringe minority that makes up republicans and democrats just the same.
To suggest otherwise about the libertarians is easily viewed is slanderous, suggestive of anti Semitism, and deflective of the genuine problems Libertarians have with U.S. foreign policy in general.
