Bowser, you're falling into the trap
Believe me, I feel there's a lot of truth in some of the things you are saying. The Israelis have not exactly always been the good guys in their struggles but you're painting with an extremely wide brush. Just as I hope you and I aren't judged as being just like the Bush administration, your post reeks of putting all Israelis into the herd of exterminators. I'm certain there are some wonderful people in Israel right now that are feeling just as frustrated at the actions of the Likud Party and the right wing fanatics as we are of our current government.
That said, you're guilty of nothing more than cultural prejudice. I am NOT labeling you anti-Semetic. I despise that term and flat out reject its use.
