41. "...or Israel is forced to kill people in its own defense,"
I call bullshit on that line. Israel is killing people because it wants to and is able to. Israel is doing nothing, nothing that would lessen or eliminate the killing of innocent civilians in Lebanon. If you think Israeli government still holds the moral high ground in this conflict, I couldn't disagree more.

And saying that does not make me an anti-semite, it makes me anti-neocon warmonger. If you want to believe that, fine, go right ahead, but it sounds to me that if DU doesn't subscribe to that particular opinion, en masse, you're picking up your ball and going home. 50,000 anti-war protesters marched in Tel Aviv on Saturday. I back them completely. Refuseniks are once again refusing to serve in this slaughter, they also have my 1000% support.

Oh, and Bill Maher can kiss my buttocks with his freeper talking point about hypothetical terrorists in Canada and what chickenhawk warmonger Bush would do in reponse. Who cares what Bush would do? He's done everything wrong so far and he'd do the wrong thing once again. It's because of Bush's warmongering foreign policy, sending the military to fight guerillas in countries that are too defenseless to oust them, that the world is in this mess. When Bush attacks Saudi Arabia, then I might listen to this line of reasoning.
