Did you miss the part where I said that most of my (admittedly distant) relatives are Arab-Israelis who, um, would be destroyed if Israel was nuked?
Besides this, I have posted negatively about Islam several times, and am an atheist. If it makes you feel better, I am not even from a Muslim family (Eastern Orthodox).
Your attitude is exactly why I posted what I posted, it has less to do with anything mikey said than the fact that I am sick and tired of every single person who speaks against Israel (and mind, I have never even said that Israel doesn`t have a right to exist or anything of the sort) being either outright called an anti-semite, or having that insinuated about him or her, as you just did.
For what it`s worth, I`ve become more pro-Israel since reading Dershowitz`s book (The Case for Israel), but even he has criticized some of Israel`s policies. I am surprised he hasn`t been labeled a self-hating Jew... |
You jumped in to defend a post about blowing up Israel. It is as simple as that. I made a point to say that shows where you stand. And the reason I did that was to call you out; you either stand for blowing up Israel or have some other opinion. How is what I did surprising?
I could care less if you posted positively or negatively about any group (Muslim or anyone else), you were somehow supportive of blowing up Israel. At least that is what the post made it seem like. And who cares if you are atheist? That point has nothing to do with blowing up Israel.
What attitude do I have? You defended someone who wished Israel would be blown up. I brought it up. You have the chance to clear the air. You have the attitude it seems. You instantly threw the 'criticize Israel and you will be attacked' card. And you defended Mikey because someone was 'going' to call you a name? Sheesh, that makes little sense.
It would be nice to actually have a debate about Israeli policy without the crazy rhetoric that some people throw out around here. And you basically are doing the same thing.
