Reply #17: no I didn't

I've been very careful to make my objections with the supporters of Israel's ACTIONS.

If I strayed from that I apologize. I don't think I did, but I'll check. The problem with the defenses from some is that they can't separate criticism of Israel's actions from their perception that folks are just generally bashing Israel. As I pointed out in a previous post, that argument has been used by the right to deflect criticism of Bush in declaring that the critics 'hate America'

That won't wash k_jerome. I am in strong opposition to Israel's ACTIONS, not Israel in general, or Israelis in general. I've made pains to point that out. I just don't think you want to accept that. You seem to be content to view me as anti-Israel as if that negates my criticism against their actions.

If you are a cheerleader of their assault on Lebanon than I object to that. If you are a supporter of their violence I object to that. If that's too offensive for you then so be it.
