i’m very much against AIPAC and some of the shenanigans they’ve pulled, and i’m somewhat against the, so-called, american foreign policy with regards to israel. we’ve supported israel when they’ve been wrong to much of the time. i do not think it’s right to bomb the hell out of lebanon because of hezbollah. it’s immoral and wicked. and it’s not in israel’s best interests, much less those of the U.S.

When the entire world with the excpetion of some in Israel and the U.S. watch, if they had to choose, they’d paint Israel and the U.S. as the Russians and Hezbolah as Patrick Swayze and his friends. That’s the 4G War that the U.S. and Israel are losing.</p> Scott, watch the Patrick Swayze movie RED DAWN.

I had just taken in a mouthful of tea, and not yet swallowed. Made a mess all over my monitor. Fortunately unsugared, so its not sticky.

Scott, if you want to argue with your straw-man, be my guest.
If you care half as much about Israel as you posture, you’ll do the work necessary to figure out that Israel and the U.S. have a lot of blood on their hands, as do the Palistinians.
There are a lot of very anti-semitic people all throughout the blogosphere. They dislike US support for Israel and they really hate AIPAC. I would encourage you to consider that your comments tend to confirm their opinion of Israel.
