By "harshest" do you mean more harsh criticism than against any other? I
would agree that Israel needs harsh criticism of some of it's tactics.
You've got a lot to do to convince me that the government Israel is

He tried that with me, it did not wash either. Further, I fail to see why
Israel is not a friend of the USA? They look pretty loyal to me. Certainly
not an enemy? I also fail to see what this has to do with Hiroshima?


If targeting the Israeli military, YES, of course! The uprising of ordinary

Take a look at the body count, pal. And you YOURSELF said you support
citizens raising up against a crooked government, I can't think of a more

No, but the killing of civilians is a two way street I'm afraid.

I woke this morning to hear somebody else had died. Even though his views

restrict themselves to defensive actions only. If Israel does the same, then
perhaps this can be sorted.
