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.

I stand by my words. And,I do believe it represented a large population of libertarianism; very much so. You, can dish out all the insults you care to it's typical of libertarians too. Our conversation is over!
