Seaver, I'm sure Roachboy would be happy to apologize for any unintended slight to Ustwo and Stevo's intelligence. I think it would be better for everyone and for the thread if we go back to discussing content rather than debating whether or not a comment was insulting.

We on "the left" are not refusing to discuss the concept. Several people have posted critiques of the actual content of both the video and the links provided later in the thread.
Questioning the validity of content or questioning Israeli policy do not amount to support for a radical Islamic agenda.
I do not entirely trust casualty numbers coming out of Lebanon or Palestine. Neither do I think it's worth much when an IDF official says that everyone left in south Lebanon is somehow related to Hizbullah and thus a legitimate target. This is not an attempt to equate the two, but merely to point out that Hizbullah do not have a monopoly on the manipulation of information in conflict.
What I
would like is to see your explanation of how the content you've posted leads logically to support of Israeli action, which seems to be where you're going with this.
