What is getting old, however, is your tactic of dragging the concept of hate into any discussion which is critical of your cherished idols.

One cannot suggest that Pres. Bush has not been truthful without you immediately claiming that it's all hate for Bush. In like manner, any criticism of the actions of some Israelis invokes your tired knee-jerk that it's all hate for the Jews.

I've seen you claim that you read 1000 wpm with 90% comprehension, so maybe if I repeat what I wrote just above, you'll get it this time. May I suggest that you read just a little more slowly, and try to let the brain work before the knees jerk.

To suggest that an agency of any nation, or any nation itself, for that matter, is above examination, beyond reproach, or immune to criticism amounts to a kind of special pleading for exclusive status, or special privileges, as if the nation and its people have been deified, and can do no wrong.

Nobody is automatically guilty because of their race, creed, gender, or nationality. Neither is anyone automatically innocent.
