I addressed exactly what your premise is; that Israel is the "enemy of the world". The inevitable conclusion is that we'd be better off without them doing what they do, and I don't think so. You didn't even address the legitimacy of Israel until about halfway through your article; the rest is a rundown of the supposed results of Israel's existence.
Thus, I was addressing what might have been the results of its NON-existence. Hearing you talk in high fashion about international law and all that is like hearing Satan judge people according to the ten commandments, frankly. This is more of the same "I believe in being a bully anytime you can get away with it... unless you are someone I don't like... and I don't like anybody... ".
"Whatever other motivations for hatred exist, why should America's behaviour in actively promoting one form of hate go unchallenged and uncondemned?" |
Fundamentalist Islam is a hateful belief system that would rot on the vine without someone to hate. If we forcefully disbanded Israel and handed it to fundamentalist Islam they'd spit on us as we walked away. What did Israel have to do with the horrors they undertook to Hindu cultures further east, that continue still today?
Hell no, and you know it as well as I do. If they weren't killing Jews they'd be killing Hindus. If they weren't hating Israel they'd be hating us directly. Fundamentalist Islam is only tolerant of other beliefs once they've conquered you, and then only if you pay the appropriate Sharia-imposed taxes and do exactly what they say.
You know this. You have no love for international law, either. I've read your personal values applied to numerous situations too many times to believe you'd have half a qualm about Israel totally exterminating everyone in Gaza and Lebanon. One must wonder, then, what motivates you to this extreme...
