Actually, I think you miss mine.
Or possibly we just disagree.
Certainly we have been pro-Isreal for many years, but I also think we have been pro-Arab. I don't think there has to be a conflict between those two positions, but many radical Arabs think you can't be both.

And this doesn't happen in the US? Fox News and its ilk never distort the truth?
Please excuse the cynical grin I have right now...

Please re-read what I wrote and tell me how publishing stories about Jews eating Arab babies compares to media spin in the US.

Yet there are many instances where US forces DID kill innocent civilians, women and children. These are, of course, mistakes. But they happen.

Of course we make mistakes.
But again, compare.
The terrorists use HOSPITALS, MOSQUES, and SCHOOLS for cover and they routinely fire on US troops from crowds of CIVILIANS.
Again, I can't see how anyone can draw a comparison.

I honestly think you're being extremist with those comments, so I won't comment.

Well, since you've made the charge, but given me nothing to respond to, I can only say that I
don't think my comments are extremist, but accurate.
Certainly the recent Iranian snub of US (they weren't too proud to take the money, btw) is a matter of record, as is the efforts of Carter, Clinton and Bush to bring about a Palestinian state.
So how are those facts of history "extremist"?
