Such tremendous black and white thinking must lead to a very simple and blissful political existence.

I must ask: can Israel do wrong? Is Israel holy and above our understanding? Are we even worthy of judging them?
That must be a big step down from your horse. I'll get off mine if you'll get off yours...

Israel isn't perfect, of course. They put up with an incredible amount of violence from terrorists, and still can't be seen as justified when they react. Yet, I read page after page after page of apologists for terroists on the arab "side." I read how it's understandable this group shot up Israel for "insert wrong done do them here," over and over again. Isreal says "enough is enough," and it's still about how wrong Israel is.

If my descion of what I think is right and wrong earns me your insults about my "simplistic" view of black and white politics, than so be it. Your tone is deliberately sarcastic and condescending. Way to raise the level of discussion in a rapidly disentegrating thread.
