300 to 1 is disproportionate warfare

143. Well now...

I shall answer in generalities: quite frankly I am tired of Israel being the whipping boy for all of the ills in the Middle East. The country, whether some here like it or not, is created and is going to be there for the foreseeable future. The images of people chopped up in Darfour, of the degradation of women in so many countries, of human rights violations in China, in Iran, in North Korea, and in so many other countries are legion but nothing, NOTHING brings out the anger, the cursing, the vituperation, the condemning, the wholesale hatred as Israel's actions do. Over the years, some individuals have been much more vocal in their condemnations of Israel than others. That is their right and I fully respect that right. To be sure, many are awaiting perceived faults of Israel:
posting headlines immediately that one issue or another has arisen involving the Government, the military, Jews - Orthodox Jews in particular at times, Circumcision, The Old Testament, Military aid to Israel, AIPAC, the rationalizing of anti-Jewish (as opposed to anti-Semitic, since not all Semites are Jews) behaviors in this and foreign countries; and almost fascinatingly in contrast, the deafening silence, the dearth of posts, when some "legitimate" and inarguable atrocity occurs wherein there are Jewish victims.

Over the last ten years I have listened to these arguments and they, IMO are for the most part specious. Some folk are particularly vicious. I for one will not just sit there and assent by my silence.
