an unfair suggestion
McFly — (archived)

Lemme first point out, should this post ever be viewed out-of-context, that Tom did NOT write, but rather quoted, the following:

No, in this depressing age, the real problem is apparently our support for democratic Israel and all those pesky Jews worldwide, who seem to crop up everywhere as sly war makers, grasping film executives, conspiratorial politicians, and greedy colonialists, and thus make life so difficult for the rest of us.

This seems to me a grossly unfair passage, strongly suggesting that any quarrel with the doings of Israel is born of anti-semetic feelings. It's certainly possible, and I'd suggest not at all uncommon, to strongly support Israel's right to exist and yet still have serious misgivings about some of the actions of their government and military.
