I'm sure Al will have something to say on this as well, but this sort
of post ****es me off, so I'm going to but in anyway.

Do you hate Jews or what?

No, but I've got a serious problem with this knee-jerk response. It is
quite possible to have no particular feelings for the jews, and still
despise Israel. It has all the aspects of a racist and fascist state
(while of all nations in the world, it should know better than to do
that). With its current "guilty of terrorism by the broadest possible
association" policy, and resultant deliberate targetting of civilians,
it has also become a terrorist organisation.


Israel is a pretty small island of freedom in a vast region of brutal
regimes with oppressive Islamic laws.

Only to confirmed jews and assumed sympathisers. Not much freedom
there if you belong to the wrong ethnic group.
Not that I'm not even implying the neighbouring nations are nice guys.


Israel would only use nuclear weapons to protect itself in the event
that the nation was about to fall- as a last resort. But Israel's
neighbors only want to build a bomb to be used against Israel.

The US only wanted the bomb to kick the **** out of the Japanese, and
to intimidate the Russians. In the eyes of many in the region, Israel
has been a constant and violently active military threat since it was
created. I don't approve of the use of nuclear weapons, but it does
seem like the only way to be rid of Israel, and thus to the Arabs, a
last resort. The alternative is to live under the threat of Israeli
agression for all eternity.


I can't believe you would not be against this. You seem to side with
the enemies of peace.

Peace has many enemies in the middle east, and Israel is formost among
them. It is you who sides with the enemies of peace.


Thank God President Bush is for Israel.

If said entity exists I have more relevant bones to pick with it. Bush
is pretty far down the list.


I think you should take a trip to Israel yourself Mr. Minyard and see
what life is like. Talk to an average Israeli family or person in the
street. They don't want war, they want peace. But not at any cost.

They (at least those represented by the actions of the current
government) want peace through the annihilation of the Palestinian
people, and any other group that stands against them, in a country
twice the size originally allocated to them. Sounds like a repeat
performance of Hitler and his cronies.
I can only hope that Israel, like Germany, will eventually come to its
senses.


Israel isn't a theocracy but they are justified morally in having the
bomb.

Nobody is justified in using such a doomsday weapon, whether that use
is military or political. If Israel isn't a theocracy, than why do
jews (not Israelis) have such priviliges in Israel?
