jdredd, can you name one Muslim country that has aligned with Israel? How many speeches has the Ach of Iran made stating "...I will blow Israel off the map!"? How many missiles have been lobbed into Israeli territory killing CIVILIANS from Lebanon, again who furnished them? Whether you think the state of Israel is right or not is immaterial, the state exists. Now when the Israelis gave up territory to the Palestinians, territory, by the way, that had electricity, running hot & cold water, plumbing and sewage controls, what did the Palestinians do? Why they tore it all out, apparently their rationale was it was better to live in conditions that date back to Mohammed rather than live with"modern" conveniences! These are the people you support? ?? JD you'll get no sympathy licking you're wounds. exalt Lou Dittos on the exalt!!! Of course, besting jdredd can sometimes be compared to shooting fish in a barrel.

Oh, my ignorance is as vast as the universe, nikki. It includes not knowing why America should tie it's fate to Israel, but apparently it's a given with most people. So be it.

Well, JD, if you insist on just leaving little smart-ass posts without lifting a finger to do any research, you get what you ask for, and that is not much respect for your posts. "So be it" has become your signature here. Pretty damn shallow when others have at least attempted to do their homework before posting. I guess that is like wanting to give your finger to the those whom you did not know when you said you went to put in your unemployment request on tax day at the Midway P.O.

I guess that is like wanting to give your finger to the those whom you did not know when you said you went to put in your unemployment request on tax day at the Midway P.O. Gosh, you have a long memory. Does that serve you well? But I am perfectly happy to have "So be it" as my signature line. Why should I sweat stuff I can't change? Is there really anything I could say to sway people that supporting Israel is a mistake? I'd have to convince you all I could predict the future, when it is just my intuition. Besides, I'm not really here to sway anyone about anything, even if I could. I'm here to enjoy myself, that's all, and trying to make people think like me is not all that enjoyable. And I always hated homework. Being a smart ass is much more fun, and other people's respect has always turned out to be of very little value.

JD - given what you said above - why should we bother to look? I was sincerely mistaken about you. Of all of the lefties on this board - I could see somewhat reasonable debate on your part. I appreciated it as it helped me understand why you think the way you do. With rude statements like the one above - it causes me to not want to even vaguely try to understand an opposing perspective.

I have come to the conclusion that dredd and bruce would both say the opposite even if we all agreed the sky was blue.... it is thier nature and why I try to just write them off as children-like hypocrits. That works for me

Are we looking at the same quote? I'm not understanding your comment. What is it we shouldn't bother to look at? Why is that quote "rude"? It's just somebody's opinion. Of course it is from the British press, which is not as knee-jerk "Israel can do no wrong" as the American press is.

That works for me By all means stick to what works for you, and if that means being a self-proclaimed "grown up", knock yourself out.

www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/weekinreview/06cooper.html?hp"Recent Israeli governments, particularly the one led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr. Cordesman argued, have ignored the national security concerns of its biggest benefactor, the United States, and instead have taken steps that damage American interests abroad." “It is time Israel realized that it has obligations to the United States, as well as the United States to Israel, and that it become far more careful about the extent to which it tests the limits of U.S. patience and exploits the support of American Jews.”
