96. Oh really...


"...under the Nazi's, Jews didn't own property and they only worked for the Nazi camps, do you really see that happening in the occupied/disputed territories?"

I didn't refer to the Nazi death camps at all. Long before that they began by restricting Jewish movement, taking their property and walling up their neighborhoods. Are you saying Israel hasn't hasn't done that?

"you didn't understand what happened this last summer, which may have resulted in charges of "anti-Semitism." I don't know that I would concur with that assessment, but it would indicate you didn't understand what happened in the region."

I know that the lion's share of casualties were among non-Hezbollah Lebonese. I know that all those deaths are a pretty big overreaction to the kidnapping of two soldiers. I also know that instead of forcing the Lebonese to deal with Hezbollah as Israel asked, their action has made Hezbollah stronger, a pretty dumb move for any government. I also know that if you don't value diplomacy, then you won't seek a diplomatic solution.

"...these current cries of wolf are coming from?"

From a far right government that believes it can take or hold land and power by force. From people in that government that refuse to seek diplomatic avenues and having only a hammer in their toolbox see every problem as a nail.

In the states, they have an alliance of convenience with a far-right christian sect that seeks to bring about the end times through conflict in the middle east.

They are people who would call a factual statement "nothing more than propaganda, ignorance, and/or hyperbole" when they don't agree because it is impossible for them to imagine any unfavorable comparisons.

You know, extremists.
