33. What I agree with is that I would "get no response acknowledging the legitimacy of (my) points."

The poster said at #12 that you would not give a response acknowledging the legitimacy of my points. I agree with that.

Also as I said even higher up at #18, "I agree that the '6 day war in no way justifies what happened to the Liberty'."

Are you trying to bait me into saying something that will allow you to falsely claim that I am anti-semitic?

Was the poster wrong at #12 when he expressed his opinion you were "one apt to 'rely on propaganda and charge anyone who questions the Israeli position with being anti Semitic'?"

Is that true? Do you call other posters anti-semitic? The USS Liberty was a relatively unarmed radar and radio-listening ship outside of Israeli waters at the time of the 6-day war when it and its crew were repeatedly attacked while flying three U.S. flags. Is it true that you "charge anyone who questions the Israeli position with being anti Semitic"?

What, in your view, is the "Israeli position"? To avoid being called anti-semitic, can I take that position too?
