I know of a Few, Eutrusca, Deep Kimchi, a few others. Anyone want to form an NSG "Jew Crew"? It's open to anyone, even Goyim (Non-jews). The only requirement is that you be a supporter of Israel. Stick a little message in your signature, "Member # such-and-such of the NSG Jew Crew".

I support Israel. With lots of caveats of course.

I support their right to existence along with the Palestinian right to exist as a nation. I support their right to retaliate to attacks against their nation, but I do not support their tactics of disproportionate retaliation and their cavalier attitude to "collateral damage".

added later: I am not Jewish and I do not think much of Judaism (theologically) for that matter and no thanks to the "Jew Crew" offer.

What you have stated here is a little dumb and maybe doesn't even deserve a response. Nevertheless, I support Israel. Yet, I have a problem with how they are going about things. You should know, and I'm sure other posters have pointed this out, that Israel is distinct from Judaism. One is a state and one is a religion/tradition. Therefore, you can be Jewish and oppose the current conflict -- the current conflict is what your somewhat ambiguous thread title is refering to, right?Indeed. The only two Jews I know share my opinion. And no, they don't hate themselves or are ashamed about their ethnicity & beliefs.

Really? When did that happen? I'd always thought of conservatives as being Pro-Israeli.
The ugliness of Anti-Semitism was visible throughout European and American society before WWII. It was more openly expressed by the right than the left, indeed many on the left were openly pro-Jewish and Zionist.

The horror of the Holocaust killed most Anti-Semitism as the world reached out in compassion to the Jewish people.

But in more backwards parts of the west, Jews were even subtly discriminated against after the war.

Conservatives in America started being more pro-Israel because of two things:

1) Establishment of the American special relationship with Israel.
2) The rise of politicised evangelical Christianity.

Define "support Israel."

Do I unreservedly support Israel's right to exist? Yes.
Do I unreservedly believe Israel has the right to ensure terrorist attacks happen on its population? Yes.
Do I support attacks on the Israeli people or the IDF? In no way.

You see, those of us who criticise the policies of Israel do not do so because we want to see the genocide of seven million Jews at the hands of Jihadists, nor the destruction of a model of democracy in the middle east, whose institutions should be a benchmark for her neighbours to aspire to. There is no nation on Earth that diserves to be treated in such a barbaric fashion.

We criticise the policies of Israel - whether it be the current offensive in Lebanon or Gaza, or the continued occupation of the West Bank - because they have the opposite effect of what they intend. Occupation for 40 years, offensive, airstrike, barrier and another offensive and any chance of peace, if there was any chance for peace, seems to have dwindled, not grown.

Naturally the terrorists are dealt their proportion of the blame for their cowardly attacks on Israeli citizens. Their is no justification or excuse for thei actions. But as long as the Israel's tactics remain as they are, pointless colonisation of Palestinian land, occupation and playing tit-for-tat with terrrorists with Israeli and Palestinian lives, Israel only fosters more hate for itself among the Palestinian, and now in recent weeks, Lebanese people.

And it is the people of Palestine and Lebanon who Israel urgently needs on its side. Israel needs these people as partners, and equals, who can finally choose to end terror. Such a state of affairs cannot happen during, or immediately after an occupation. And I say choose because these people have to choose to end terror. The Israelis cannot bomb terrorism or islamism or pan-Arabism just as much as they could not bomb socialism, liberalism, conservatism or zionism. They are ideas and ideologies, and as such, we coose them. Israel's policy, unfortunately, ensures people make the wrong choices.

So, I suppose, all the so-called pro-Israeli and anti-Israeli crowds disagree on is the means, not the end. And that end is an Israel and Palestine, living side by side, free from terror. How we go about it, is the different issue.

I agree with you in theory. The problem is, every time Israel offers the hand of peace, it gets struck away. They offered Palestinians land and withdrew from it, Palestinians elected Hamas and continued their suicide bombing runs.

They ceded to Hezbollah's demands and withdrew from Lebanon, ending the occupation there, Hezbollah continued to launch rockets, and kidnapped Israeli troops.

People keep saying "just give the palestinians/lebanese what they want, let them peacefully coexist!" but every time, EVERY TIME Israel has tried, the other groups have been the ones to go back to violence. Israel ceedes land to the Palestinians, palestinians keep attacking. Israel withdraws from Lebanon, Hezbollah keeps attacking. Every time these groups cry "PEACEFUL COEXISTANCE!" and every time Israel offers a real, substantial chance at it, it is shot to hell in the first rocket blast, or the first suicide bomber.

And you'll notice the first attacks following these offers never, EVER come from Israel. It is always from the side that was screaming for peaceful coexistance. Whenever Israel extends the hand of peace and says "ok, lets try and give you what you want and see what happens", the hand is blown away in the next rocket or suicide bomb. Withdraw from west bank, the attacks continue. Withdraw from Lebanon, the attacks continue.

The attacks always resume right about when the other side realizes that if they actually got what they claimed to be fighting for, and strove for peace, they'd have to give up their real motivations, the fact that they really just like killing jews.

I'm really not sure there is one honestly. If a group rejects your offer of peace, and continues to attack your civilian population, really only two options exist. Allow them to continue, or by use of force stop them.

Neither is really appealing, but the best minds of the world have tried to come up with answers, and have failed. I do not consider myself highly enough to think I would come up with an answer where they have not been able to.

Perhaps there really is only one solution, make the terrorists feel so much hurt for their actions that they won't continue them out of pure self interest....

Have you ever read Twain's Huck Fin.? in which the two families have had a feud that has lasted so long that no one can remember how it started -- I think that's how it went. Anyway, Twain sort insinuates that the these two parties are quite crude and base since the whole focus of their lives is destroying each other, but never being able to do so. It may seem simplistic on my part, but that is what this conflict reminds me of. It is like some game theoretic matrix in which no one ever gains or wins the game -- it just keeps going.

Define "support Israel.".here:

BERKELEY, California, Jul 26 (IPS) - Over the past two decades, as the Christian Right has grown in political power in the United States, there has been a parallel growth in support for Israel. Organisations made up of conservative evangelical and Jewish leaders have been founded, and millions of dollars have been raised and donated to charities in Israel.

Now, a new group plans to take it up a notch, becoming a significant presence in any political policy debates involving Israel.

Last week, while the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict continued to escalate, Christians United for Israel (CUFI) -- an organisation founded less than six months ago by Texas evangelist Rev. John C. Hagee, pastor of the 18,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas and the author of "Jerusalem Countdown," a 2006 book about a nuclear-armed Iran -- rolled into Washington for its first major get-together.

More than 3,400 delegates from across the United States attended the inaugural meeting.

CUFI kicked off the gathering on Jul. 19 with its "A Night to Honour Israel" banquet at the grand ballroom in the Washington Hilton. The festivities attracted a number of high-profile Israeli and U.S. political leaders, including Israeli Ambassador Daniel Ayalon, retired Israeli defence chief Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon and Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman.

According to a report posted at Israpundit, Hagee read greetings from President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Bush commented: "God bless and stand by the people of Israel and God bless the United States."

It may seem simplistic on my part, but that is what this conflict reminds me of. It is like some game theoretic matrix in which no one ever gains or wins the game -- it just keeps going.

The problem with that though is it assumes neither party is willing to make compromises. That, as I see it, hasn't been the case.

Let's look at two examples, Egypt and Hezbollah.

Nasser finally said "enough is enough, no more posturing, no more threats, no more aggression, no more saber rattling, egypt recognizes israel's existance, it recognizes israel's right to exist, we respect your borders and will leave you the hell alone, provided you respect our borders and leave us the hell alone."

And israel said "ok, deal".

And egypt has left israel the hell alone. And israel has left egypt the hell alone. And there's been peace.

Now let's contrast that with Hezbollah, which said "you are occupiers, you are in your country, we will resist your occupation, but if you pull out now, if you leave lebanon, if you get out, we will end our attacks, and will have no further aggression towards you."

And israel said "ok, deal". And they pulled out, they pulled EVERYTHING out. All the troops, all the armor, all the people, EVERYTHING, they got up one day and they left, entirely.

And god damned if hezbollah didn't keep attacking.

Israel has offered peace, Israel has made ovetures to give their enemies what they want, in exchange for Israel getting what it wants, a peaceful existance. In some cases it has worked (Egypt), in some cases it has failed (Hezbollah and Hamas), however whenever it has failed, it wasn't because Israel broke their promises first.

Apart from the Shebaa farms area which Hezb'allah claims is part of Lebanese territory.

The UN says its Syrian and as such the IDF did not pull out. Syria says its Lebanese.

Thats the reason Hezb'allah claim to still be around for.

Now let's contrast that with Hezbollah, which said "you are occupiers, you are in your country, we will resist your occupation, but if you pull out now, if you leave lebanon, if you get out, we will end our attacks, and will have no further aggression towards you."

And israel said "ok, deal". And they pulled out, they pulled EVERYTHING out. All the troops, all the armor, all the people, EVERYTHING, they got up one day and they left, entirely.

And god damned if hezbollah didn't keep attacking.

Israel has offered peace, Israel has made ovetures to give their enemies what they want, in exchange for Israel getting what it wants, a peaceful existance. In some cases it has worked (Egypt), in some cases it has failed (Hezbollah and Hamas), however whenever it has failed, it wasn't because Israel broke their promises first.Let's not forget that one of the main reasons why Hezbullah is still fighting Israel is because Israel holds a large number of Lebanese prisoners (I'm not going to bother discussing the legitimacy of this. I haven't done any research on the issue and will therefore rule in favor of Israel on it). That would also explain why they captured the soldiers and were ransoming them off for prisoners.

The problem with that though is it assumes neither party is willing to make compromises. That, as I see it, hasn't been the case.

Let's look at two examples, Egypt and Hezbollah.

Nasser finally said "enough is enough, no more posturing, no more threats, no more aggression, no more saber rattling, egypt recognizes israel's existance, it recognizes israel's right to exist, we respect your borders and will leave you the hell alone, provided you respect our borders and leave us the hell alone."

And israel said "ok, deal".

And egypt has left israel the hell alone. And israel has left egypt the hell alone. And there's been peace.

Now let's contrast that with Hezbollah, which said "you are occupiers, you are in your country, we will resist your occupation, but if you pull out now, if you leave lebanon, if you get out, we will end our attacks, and will have no further aggression towards you."

Yeah, but doesn't this has to do with the Shia versus Sunni. I don't know about this in any in depth, so may be someone can enlighten us, or at least me, on this topic (i have CNN knowledge), but isn't there a split in the middle east with the Sunni states that are inclined to recognizing Israel and Shia states (Iran, Syria, etc.) that do not?

here:

BERKELEY, California, Jul 26 (IPS) - Over the past two decades, as the Christian Right has grown in political power in the United States, there has been a parallel growth in support for Israel. Organisations made up of conservative evangelical and Jewish leaders have been founded, and millions of dollars have been raised and donated to charities in Israel.

Now, a new group plans to take it up a notch, becoming a significant presence in any political policy debates involving Israel.

Last week, while the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict continued to escalate, Christians United for Israel (CUFI) -- an organisation founded less than six months ago by Texas evangelist Rev. John C. Hagee, pastor of the 18,000-member Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas and the author of "Jerusalem Countdown," a 2006 book about a nuclear-armed Iran -- rolled into Washington for its first major get-together.

More than 3,400 delegates from across the United States attended the inaugural meeting.

CUFI kicked off the gathering on Jul. 19 with its "A Night to Honour Israel" banquet at the grand ballroom in the Washington Hilton. The festivities attracted a number of high-profile Israeli and U.S. political leaders, including Israeli Ambassador Daniel Ayalon, retired Israeli defence chief Lt. Gen. Moshe Yaalon and Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman.

According to a report posted at Israpundit, Hagee read greetings from President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Bush commented: "God bless and stand by the people of Israel and God bless the United States."

Well that may well be, but either way still doesn't disprove the idea that Israel are not the first aggressors in these situations. In the case of Egypt and Jordan, they have stopped the attacks on Israel, and Israel has left them alone (despite an overwhelming military).

Israel has no interest in conquering the Middle East and blowing up all those "damed A-rabs", because if they did they would have done it already. They want to exist, peacefully, and are willing to peacefully exist with any nation that is willing to peacefully exist with them.

And they have made ovetures in giving those groups what they want in order to ensure that peaceful coexistance.

If those overtures get rejected...well...

I support Israel.
Within reason, which apparently disqualifies me.
So do I, but I'm a member of 'da tr00 Jew Crü.'

Define "support Israel."

Do I unreservedly support Israel's right to exist? Yes.
Do I unreservedly believe Israel has the right to ensure terrorist attacks happen on its population? Yes.
Do I support attacks on the Israeli people or the IDF? In no way.

You see, those of us who criticise the policies of Israel do not do so because we want to see the genocide of seven million Jews at the hands of Jihadists, nor the destruction of a model of democracy in the middle east, whose institutions should be a benchmark for her neighbours to aspire to. There is no nation on Earth that diserves to be treated in such a barbaric fashion.

We criticise the policies of Israel - whether it be the current offensive in Lebanon or Gaza, or the continued occupation of the West Bank - because they have the opposite effect of what they intend. Occupation for 40 years, offensive, airstrike, barrier and another offensive and any chance of peace, if there was any chance for peace, seems to have dwindled, not grown.

*snip*

So, I suppose, all the so-called pro-Israeli and anti-Israeli crowds disagree on is the means, not the end. And that end is an Israel and Palestine, living side by side, free from terror. How we go about it, is the different issue.
Excellent post.

This will not happen. Israel has no interest in peace, since they would have to pay reparations for all the disowned Palestinians then.
Right. The Israeli people would much prefer to live in a permanently militarised state, with frequent brutal attacks on their country and citizens. :rolleyes:

And Arabs have no interest in peace with the foreigners who have no roots in the land.
Well
1. Most Israelis do have roots in the land. Jews have always lived there to some degree.
2. I think that many, maybe most, Arabs do not want permanent war with Israel, even if they don't like the country. People, generally, do not like war.

1) any civilians that Israel hit were warned to leave. That is why so many people have....

Second guessing the IDF by using "probably" is not somthing I am willing to do. But, seriously, these wackos who putting Israel on the same moral level as terrorist states like Iran and Hezbollah who use the blood of civilans as a poltical ploy are a disgrace. They need to get a grip. Israel does not target civilans on purpose, but if civilans who were warned to leave a certain area stay behind and are in a building that intelligence says is being used by Hezbollah...who's fault is it really when they get bombed?

We will " all " have to stand before the lord to answer for our actions while living even his chosen people. The point is you may be making a enemy
of God when you go against his people. The problem is that there is very little forgiveness in the world today. Jesus replaced the soldiers ear that was cut off even though that soldier was taking Jesus to his death. This is what is expected of followers of Jesus. But that is a very hard thing to do ... for anyone. The scripture says that all have sinned and fallen short of the lords will. But it is not our place to decide who is guilty, or who is not. Unfortunately most people would rather follow the eye for an eye rule, even though it is found in the old covenant, which makes it outdated.

And I don't think I ever went more than a day without getting shot at. Also, we ran convoy security, and we constantly got fired at. All in all, pretty much a great time.

My unit didn't lose a man the whole time we were there, but one guy lost his left hand at the wrist. However, the unit that replaced us lost 4 guys their first week. That was more their fault than anything else. The guys that get killed usually died because they did some dumb shit and didn't follow procedure. That's what they don't tell you on the news.

China and Japan won't ask us for their money back because US Treasuries are just too good an investment to pass up. No other market in the entire world offers the same combination of liquidity, security, and return on investment that US Treasuries provide. Until that changes, no central bank will pass up the opportunity to buy in to the US market and finance our debt.

But we are handling this problem the same way that we have always dealt with problems with those who attack Israel. We do not use force.

If any other nation was attacked the way that Israel has always been attacked, it would have done 10 times more. Anti-Israeli thought is the new way of persecuting the Jews. New story old theme.

Second guessing the IDF by using "probably" is not somthing I am willing to do. But, seriously, these wackos who putting Israel on the same moral level as terrorist states like Iran and Hezbollah who use the blood of civilans as a poltical ploy are a disgrace. They need to get a grip. Israel does not target civilans on purpose, but if civilans who were warned to leave a certain area stay behind and are in a building that intelligence says is being used by Hezbollah...who's fault is it really when they get bombed?

I'm not really second guessing the IDF, I'm taking into account that internal politics can quite often effect military operations. The current level of hostilities has a lot of effects in both internal Israeli politics and regional politics, which may be advantageous to some who is involved in the decision making process.

Before someone else jumps on it, you might want to edit out the comment that implies Hezbollah is a state.

In the situation you give, we really can't tell whose fault it is, now can we? It could be the civilians' fault for not leaving, faulty IDF intelligence, or Hezbollah for using the building (if they actually are, which points to the previous).

I don't know if Israel targets civilians intentionally, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. However, as they're a democratic nation (this is where the difference between them and places like Iran and Syria come in) they're expected to be the good guys and to be discriminate in their targets.

I would have been a lot more lenient in previous wars when Israel was literally fighting for it's life. But right now, Israel is in no real danger from it's neighbors, and as such can afford to have a slightly softer touch.

If they'd quit using us as babysitters and let us operate as an assault force, like we're trained to do, we wouldn't be having the problems we're having now. US soldiers just aren't cut out for occupation. We're an offensive force, even in defensive maneuvers.

So in your opinion Israel should not have done anything to Hezbollah. That is not a very strong response. Europeans had a tradition of avoiding civilian deaths and so does Israel. That is why they are targeting Hezbollah and not civilians. The problem is that many people buy into the idea that Israel targets civilans on purpose...which is idiotic.

No, I know it doesn't do so on purpose...what I am saying is it could try to be more careful. And no, of course I am not saying Hezbollah should've remained unpunished.

I know you wouldn't, but you made a grammatical error that I'm sure someone will jump on. I'm pointing it out so you can fix it now. The error is the quotation below.

terrorist states like Iran and Hezbollah

Israel is not at fault if people who were warned to leave certain areas did not.

Which is why I said it could be the civilians' fault.

Israel is not at fault if Hezbollah lies about certain people being civilians.

Which is why I said it could be Hezbollah's fault.

Israeli intel is good but not perfect and mistakes or made.

That is true, but failures in this regard should be addressed. If it was an honest mistake, it can't be helped. If it was through negligence, the offending party should be prosecuted.

But to sieze on the Hezbollah propaganda that Israel intends to slaughter Lebonese civilans is to unfairly persecute Israel on the word of a group of terrorists over that of a vital allie

Ever since I got back from Iraq I don't believe much of what I hear in the news regarding military conflicts. Is Israel deliberately targetting civilians? I doubt it. Could they be a bit more judicious in their application of force? Possibly.

Israel is fighting for its life. Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, and other terror states will stop at nothing to see the dawn of a second holocaust. Don't believe me? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060718/ap_on_re_us/pro_israel_rally

ask Elie Weisel.

There is no doubt in my mind that said parties would love to see Israel destroyed. However, they're about as militarily capable of doing so as Mexico and Canada would be in attempting to destroy the United States. By regional standards Israel is a military juggernaut, to which none or even all of its neighbors pose a conventional threat. They can wish for it's destruction all they want, but they can't do anything to bring it about.

Rich words coming from someone who advocates defiling Islamic terrorists with pork before killing them. It'll increase terrorist recruitment rather than decrease it, and of course the whole suggestion is a profanity against Islam in general which generates sacrilegious outrage that the average Bushevik can only feel if Muslims were to sponsor an anti-war rally at The Wall hosted by Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan.

The Sunday morning air strike left 56 people dead, most of them women and children........

The UN Security Council has yet to take a strong stance against the conflict, because the United States has disagreed on the necessity for an immediate ceasefire.

On Sunday, the council released a statement that said it "expresses its extreme shock and distress at the shelling by the Israeli Defense Forces of a residential building in Qana, in southern Lebanon, which has caused the killing of dozens of civilians, mostly children, and injured many others."

One point I think you are all missing here is that Israel simply doesn't care. And why should they? For years they have been surrounded by nations dedicated to destroying the Israeli state. For years Palestinians and several other terrorist organizations have been dealing death to people living in the settlements on the West Bank and on the Gaza strip. Supposedly because they were in an occupied country. So they pulled out. Did the violence end? No. So much for that excuse. It continues, with, or without provocation. And probably always will. So innocent civilians are now dying. Hardly surprising. This IS war. Also, it wasn't like Israel didn't serve them notice of their intentions beforehand. They told them exactly where they were going to do, and where they were going to do it, and gave them plenty of time to evacuate. Is it unfortunate? Hell, yes. But it is THEIR war. Hezbollah locating themselves intentionally in and around civilian centers probably are not helping matters, and probably doing so just to incite world opinion against Israel. The one intelligent thing they have done, to date, if their goal is to unite the world against Israel. But it will probably also be the last. Israel will not quit until they feel their borders are safe. Ever. It is very easy for us to sit in our nice safe countries and to pass judgement on the Israeli state, when WE don't have to worry about a daily continued threat to our existence. Isreal has been under attack from day one of their existence as a nation.

So are they are overreacting? Probably. But I for one, cannot blame them.

I support Israel. I support a Jewish homeland, for the international Jewish population, and a place of worship for the Jewish people.

Israel is always blamed for thier hot-headedness in attacking. This time, a border post was overunn, several israeli soldiers were killed, and 2 taken hostage. This in addition to rocket attacks on Haifa. Here we have a repeat for Munich. The message. Dont fuck with Isreal. Everytime Israel is provoked they go into conflict. Maybe Hezbollah should have considered that, before provoking the IDF and sending south Lebanon to hell.

The terrorist organization Hezbollah is to blame.

If we started a thread condemning everything Hezbollah did wrong we wouldn't have time for anything else, now would we? You constantly complain about people putting Israel and Hezbollah on the same level, but this is exactly what you're doing here. You're acting as though we should hold Hezbollah and Israel to the same standard, which is quite silly. Condemnation of Hezbollah is implied in terming them a terrorist organization. We condemn Israel because more is expected of them because they're a democratic nation. Explicitly condemning Hezbollah would be as redundant as explicitly condemning a known mass murderer. You're the one equating Israel with Hezbollah, not us.

Joshua 6:20

When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

Posibly because we know where we're at with Hezbollah, they're evil bastards and not many people are going to discuss that so it wont make much of a thread.

I thought Israel was meant to be better than that though, as it seems, did a lot of other people. Now we're just seeing that they seem to be almost as bad as hezbollah even though some people still claim the IDF are basically good. Therein lies the debate.

i support Israel.. i also can't spell the word :P

i'm a Christian [technicly a "protestant" i guess. also technicly a fundamentalist. NOT a militant or ludite or anything else normaly associated with the term though]

one of many reasons i support israel is this: when they fight, the fight smart.

quite frankly, journalists are a risk to operational security for inteligence purposes and the like.. easy way to let them do their jobs and remove that problem: blast any method of transmittin data electronicly.

just as an example.

heck, anyone who fights intelligently without resorting to terrorisem has some limited amount of support from me. Israel gets more though, due to situation, among other things.

... palastine, on the other hand, gets none. i say this based on my knowledge of the history of the area, which may not be entirely complete, but it is te knowledge i have.

umm. so yeah, you can put me on the list i guess. it won't be going in my sig though.

what's the scripture? somewhere in proverbs... 'do not argue with a fool' i belive. can't remember teh whole thing. it would seem to me that israel has given up argueing with fools, and resorted to bashing heads... hopefully it works better.

once again, i lost my train of thought. tah's waht i get for getting involved in this kind of discusion at 3:12 am.

Rich words coming from someone who advocates defiling Islamic terrorists with pork before killing them. It'll increase terrorist recruitment rather than decrease it, and of course the whole suggestion is a profanity against Islam in general which generates sacrilegious outrage that the average Bushevik can only feel if Muslims were to sponsor an anti-war rally at The Wall hosted by Jane Fonda and Cindy Sheehan.

And I'll piss on thier porked faces and taunt them about how good it feels to be eating the chosen breakfast meat of an Infidel. I have absolutely no respect and no pity for those who are tortured as a result of their blatant disregard for human beings. Filthy savages. It worked with the Moros......

If and when they decide to act like rational human beings, I will treat them as such. Until then they are simply animals fit to be put down.

Because i'm well informed and intelligent.

Speaking as another well informed Israel supporter...

I support a two-state solution, provided the Palestinian State wasn't hostile to Israel. But that doesn't look to be happening anytime soon.

The Two-State Solution has quite a few similiarities with Separate But Equal. And history shows how effective that was.

What alternatives are there? A one state solution has more than a few similarities with Separate But Equal.
