It wouldn't surprise me if someone like SU tried to kill me or Jeff.

I bet you'd be just a little surprised.

He occupies some of the same contradictions you battle. In his case he hate claims to hate fascism, yet endorses it.

So if he appeared over your bed tonight, holding a .22 to your head, you'd have a plate of cookies waiting for him?

I am curious as to what contradictions you think I battle, though.

The only facscists in the Middle East are Islamofascists. They're just Nazis dressed for the desert. I support Israel on the purest of grounds. It's a liberal democracy and I don't favor people who claim God is on their side and authorizes them to murder civilians for the simple reason they are of different ethnicity and believe differently.

The ones closest to these fascist wackos is Waters.

Where do the Jews get their permission to kill Palestinians?

It's like you're saying Thomas Jefferson wasn't a slave owner, and when asked why, you say "he treated his slaves well." It's nonsensical and the conversation is over, because you are dealing with a moron.

I can only imagine the cognitive dissonance SU must experience when he reads articles like this (if, in fact, he actually reads them). The gulf between his cherished myths and the reality on the ground is enormous.

I think you are right, Mike. Someday SU will have a change of heart on this issue and it won't be pretty.

Look at the title of the artilce. I've been defending Israel, not "radical settlers." This article just supports my position that Israel is the rational party here.
