Well I agree with a lot of what you say, but my opinion of you changed when on a different thread an elderly Jewish Freeper said that when he was younger he suffered because of anti-Semitism, you replied that he suffered nothing compared to the Christians under Kaganovitch (I think that is the name you used). Apparently Kaganovitch was a "Jewish" Communist.

The absurdity of such a comment was not lost on me. If someone were to say that Christians are discriminated against in the United States (and many Freepers, including myself, say this every day) and a Jewish person were to say that they suffered nothing compared to the Jews under Hitler. You and I would both call that person anti-Christian.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, and we certainly have anti-Evangelicals, anti-Catholics, and anti-Semites on FR. As long as people are honest with their opinions I usually tend to ignore them, I'm responding to you only because you claim to be pro-Israel.

Unlike some (not you) on these threads I'm pro-American first. I think Israel has every moral right to hit back at those trying to destroy her. The sooner and harder the better. When our interests coincide, we should be allies. But Americans should have no illusions about Israel. They are not in the class of the British when it comes to being friends. As official policy, they have damaged America in the past and probably will in the future (the Brits did too but because of traitors in their midst). Israel is a nationalistic theocratic socialist state. There is nothing we should borrow from Israel and we should prevent Israel, as far as possible, from messing in our internal affairs.

My attitude isn't unique toward Israel. I believe the same about most countries. Israel comes up only because, right now, their actions have a great effect on our security.
