(29,257 posts)You are becoming increasingly hard to follow.
You continue to try to equate a peaceful movement for a little more economic justice in the US with the Libyan resistance against Gaddafi.
Furthermore, you continue to miss the point that US military intervention is the main criticism I have and instead try to paint my position as primarily one against the rebels themselves.
The rebels, no doubt, have their good guys and bad guys. But it was the ME expert Richard Engel who noted that "1 in 5" of them want Gaddafi out because they think he is Jewish.
If you think you know more about the ME than Richard Engel, then just say so.
But 20% of the rebels being motivated by extreme hatred of Jews is not a characteristic that one wants to see or look for in people that you are hoping will set up a just and peaceful democratic state.
Or are they?
Please stop trying to impugn my motives especially by comparing me to anti-semites and pro-apartheid people, As a Jew, I find it very offensive.
My main criticism is against Americans who help to promote the idea that US military intervention and nation building is the way to a better world. It is not --especially when the motives of the US are in such doubt as you have agreed to.
