CaptainYooh's post was anything but rational. S/He made horribly inaccurate conflations between Arabs and Muslims, seems to have little idea about the populations of each, but miraculously has his fingers intricately on the pulse of their thought processes.
gvitaly's post says that the majority of muslims in just about every middle east country have hostile feelings towards Israel, but somehow 80% of those people* would never hurt a fly, don't want a war, and don't drive foreign policy. Sorry, but that's a bunch of flawed numbers and muddled logic if I've ever seen it.
As for the disgusting sweeping generalizations on this board regarding middle easterners and muslims and arabs**, I don't know one person in my family or broad circle of friends that hate Israel or wish hostility towards it, despite their participation in many of those classifications. I'm certain that Israelis share an analogous feeling of abhorring hostility and violence and racism. I guess my experience is different from CaptainYooh's? But just to do my part in resolving this conflict, I would gladly pay for CaptainYooh's flight to a couple of countries in the middle east so that he could inform my family members, friends, and friends of friends, face to face, that they're not toeing the middle eastern / arab / muslim line and should change their thought process. I'm sure they would appreciate the clarity and do their best to remedy their misconceptions.

* I don't know which "those" s/he specifically referred to as the sentence structure does not make it clear. In either context, the numbers and logic don't work.
** Gosh, where are all the 'I wish I could see all the posters supporting Palestine refute their horrible attitudes and tactics' crowd in calling out the ignorance displayed by CaptainYooh? Or is that a revelation of the truly childish game that it is?
