Chris, I thought the anti-Semite bit would get to you. And like a Pavlovian dog, you reacted as expected.
You constantly and harshly criticize the Israelis, don't you? You bring them into your remarks at every opportunity - and even when there isn't an opportunity. Look at your subject title above. "Assassins Trained in Israel". The Jews are Semites - your remarks are anti-Semitic. Of course, I would argue that both the Palestinians and Israelites are often anti-Semitic. When you make your assertions, I sometimes give a different point of view. Only a fascist would resent anything but the "truth" being expressed. With regard to Sgrena, as with the Brazilian, mistakes can be made. I gave a point of view that differed from yours but was completely reasonable. You would accept it as an alternative possibility had you not completely surrounded the absolute truth about everything.
