Holding a purely political point of view does not automatically construe religious bigotry. Thats why, when Azure whipped out the race card, I responded. I think its innappropriate when looking at the original post in question (not a hint of racism to it).

Right, I get what you're saying. All I'm getting at is the "opposed to the existence of Israel" could mean a lot more things than the other ones, including racism, which I didn't mean to imply towards you. I hope that makes sense.
