Sorry if I called you an Israel hater. I just get tired of folks who are always looking at every damn thing that Israel does. I am not even saying you are one of them.

1. When is there ever a post about Hama, Syria, where Hafez Assad killed 15,000 of his own Muslims. 
2. Or post about the Iran/Iraq war with one million Muslims killed by Muslims. 
3. Or the bombing in Lebanon where 300 Americans are killed by Muslim fanatics. 

Please notice that all these events happened in the same time frame as the Sharon showdown with the American commander. The early 1980's. Though the Iran/Iraq war went on longer. The Middle East is violent place and the only nation that gets scrutinized is Israel.

One thing I've often noticed here is that when anyone criticizes Israel it is assumed that he supports Arafat, Hussein or the Palestinians. And that's just not true. No one is pushing the Arab cause here. The reason that people don't bother to post messages condemning for instance the attack on the marine barracks in Lebanon is that to do so here is to preach to the choir. Everyone agrees on those issues. So why bother? (And since there's no one defending such attacks, who are you going to post a criticism to anyway?)
