I realize you may wish it did -- and in many respects, it does, does it not? -- but the world doesn't really revolve around Israel.

Really? One would never know that looking at LF, where Israel and Jews are all that is "debated". So what do you like best about that sinkhole? The Jewhating, the America hating, the bashing of FR, or the Holocaust denial?

Good grief, Veronica. Try not to tip your hand in the process of trying to smear LF only to reveal yourself as the wholly subjective, single-issue and purposed agit-prop artist you are.

Anyone with the least objectivity who canvases the site (starting with the Editor's Choice column, the increasingly wide network of partnerships confected with other libertarian endeavors as well as the Owner's own posts with regard to the mission and purpose of the place and the criteria with which he intends Moderators and Raters deploy the FAME system) understands perfectly well that the wholly distasteful and substanceless work of the more strident provocateurs on the Israel/Jew threads is but a wad of fetid gum stuck to the Free Speech shoe at LF.

Even a cursory look at the posting habits of the Usual Suspects reveals them to be single-issue sorts like yourself whose sole mission in life is to perpetuate the rancor and spam latest posts with bs posts in the hopes IT WILL APPEAR that the Israel thing indeed overshadows the actual purpose of the site.

All one need do is set their threshold to "1" in order to dispel the utterly ludicrous notion that LF is a "hate site" centered on or even unduly preoccupied with questions about Israel or the Jews sufficient to characterize it as some Stormfront hate site.

It's to be expected from any political discussion board that the subject of our international relations with Israel or internal relations with Jewish organizations bent on curtailing the free speech or exercise of religion by others come up. After all, our relations with Israel are a CRITICAL aspect of our foreign policy and certainly a crippling factor in our relations with Arab nations and any religious organization -- the Catholic Church, for example -- which seeks to influence our rule of law or the spin our courts and President put on notions of "Free Speech" or "Respect for Life" is subject to criticism.

Broadbrushing any and all critical discussion of those relationships as "anti-semitic" is not only disingenuous but reeks of the deceipt essential for instilling suspicions, cutting out tongues and prosecuting Thought Crimes.

Bottom line ... I still fail to see how it is that your opinions of some other website are pertinent to the discussion at hand. If you wish to continue in this vein, why not open a thread on Liberty Forum in the backroom where you could perhaps evidence your more subjective impressions.
