Reply #63: Lots of false conclusions on your part too. [View All]

You are the one that said killing civilians is not an evil thing. I'm not going to waste my time and argue the virtue of such a statement. I'm sure others can make up their own mind. I'm just wondering what your reaction will be if someone said that killing civilians is not an evil thing when it comes to a Hamas rocket. It is a war after all and civilians get killed isn't it. :sarcasm:

People hold Israel to a higher standard because they are a democratically elected country and a member of the world community. Because of that, certain behavior is to be expected. The same reason a police officer is supposed to be held to a higher standard than a criminal. If both the criminal and the police officer behaved like each other....?

I never indicated that Israel should "lie down and take it". Where you got that false conclusion, I don't know, nor really care. As for people "like me" which I take you mean people that have the sense to indicate or suggest to Israel or the Palestinians and some of their supporters that they might be doing something wrong or to step back and say something is not right or excessive....thanks for the compliment. It's much preferable to blind support and my country right or wrong attitude.

Yeah, I'm one of those who "claim they see bad on both sides". You would be blind, a liar or an idiot if you can't see sources of this conflict on your own side as well as the other. I condemn both parties for their belligerent attitude, shortsightedness, intolerance of each other and above all hating their enemies more than they love their children. Not to mention wasting lives of their own people to prove a point.
