Between 40,000 and 100,000 Palestinians dead; hundreds of thousands wounded/injured. Is there any crime Israel could commit that you wouldn't first ignore, then deny, then justify, then embrace as entirely appropriate because of he Holocaust?

(P.S. "United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, the last somewhat Israel-friendly resolution passed back in 2006, ordered Hezbollah to withdraw from the portion of Lebanon south of the Litani River and for Lebanese forces to control that area." I assume you cite this to contrast Hezbollah's non-compliance with the U.N. resolution with Israel's history of compliance with U.N. resolutions. Really?)

After 9/11, GW Bush issued what became known as the Bush Doctrine, stating that we would not treat people who hide or give comfort to our enemies differently as we go after the planners and perpetrators of 9/11 themselves. Why should Israel now be held to a different standard? Here's the thing, Mike; if it ever becomes a choice between you or me, I will choose me every time.

I didn't realize you were a supporter of the Iraq war -- you and Cheney all the way?

But at least you're honest -- there is no crime Israel could commit that you would condemn (very much what we heard in Nazi Germany).
