Actually, you are the one who is overlooking something. Unlike what you seem to be believing, I am not saying that if Israel does *one* thing the Nazis also did (deportations), it also wants to do everything else the Nazis did. But then, I have long ago given up hope that the pro-Israel crowd will learn to see the difference... :-( > > > And you think it's reasonable to expect everyone to assume that > > > when a person suggests b, they really want a (applied to the > > > Palestinians, that is). > > > > I never said that.

Disgust about the fact that a Jew of all people would suggest doing something that was done to Jews, yes. But nowhere did I say anything about be outraged.
