If you read and responded on my entire post rather than one sentence, you would see that I explain who Friedman is refering to in his rant. > You're only a "far right Jew" if you identify yourself as one, but > nobody could make the argument that they are uniquely identified by > the public at large by the term. Therefore you have no case. Not true. Your identified as something just as much by others (moreso) than by yourself. Arafat and Bin Laden identifies themselves as men of peace but the world knows different. > I will point out another flaw with your general "it's all the > Palestinians fault" argument.

It's you who have been one sided, condeming Israel while only drawing moral equivlents for the Palestinian's actions. And as for your example, it makes no sense. We're not talking about shooting in anger. We're talking about Israel shooting in self defense. BIIIIG difference.

No, it's not even murder in a court of law. It's a mistake when shooting at a armed combatant and missing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:132564 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
