Reply #17: Nope. It doesn't make sense.

Over half of the American populace is against the war and doesn't support the admin. Is that true of Israel? Does a majority of the population support an unlimited right of return? Or is it a miniscule minority? No, numbers don't count for much when it comes to right or wrong, but I don't see it as being nearly as simple as you do.; You see Israel, as it's currently constituted, as an entity that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever except for a tiny group of dissenters. I disagree.

Unlike Sheehan, you're not calling an individual an agressive warmonger, you're condemning an entire country for its culture. It's pretty clear that your comparison is a tad weak, so no, it doesn't make any sense to me.

You can ignore the other side of the coin to your heart's content. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And I'm not talking about any particular wrongdoing on the part of the Palestinians or the fact that Hamas and others have inculcated a culture of hate as surely as any Israeli culture of hate. I'm talking about the right of Israel to exist as a culturally Jewish State. There's no reason to believe that a state of say, 5 to 7 million Palestinians and 6 million Jews would be a success.


Finally, I'm always amused by the infatuation of Duers with the dripping sarcasm thingy.
