I agree, let's cut out the bull shit. You said in a previous post:
"It's obvious you are a biased pro-Israeli supporter. You can tell by your tone of voice and your non use of facts."
I don't see why you equate someone who supports Israel (or even the Arab position, for that matter) as being biased. How about "informed," or "abreast," or "having a basis to form such an opinion"? I admitted that I am pro-Israel, but that does not necessarily make me biased. According to you, then, that means that no one could ever come to a conclusion after objectively looking at facts. How do you know I didn't become pro-Israel because I have followed the conflcit and decided the Israelis had a better position?
Let me ask you this: If an American citizen supports the US strikes in our "conflict" against Afghanistan, then does that make him/her "biased"? Your presumption of bias leaves no room for progress, requires an even starting point when it soemtimes it not called for, and only assessing the conflict without taking a position on who is right/wrong. This reasoning applies equally to someone who advocates the Arab viewpoint. I don't think it's fair for you to label someone as biased because they support one side over the other. Your logic is backwards.
And don't take my lack of response as acceptance of your comments re. your "History lessons" that you were ever-so kind to cut-and-paste from the Internet somewhere. Thank you for that, but I would have appreciated a direct link more. I am in Finals week, so I don't know if I'll be able to respond and show you where you're wrong. I'll try to make time, though. |

That's the problem with these extremists, diplomacy is a b.s. term to them. No wonder the problems in the Middle East will never be solved.
Personally, I wish the U.S. would not get involved in the Middle East crisis. It's a war based on religion. In other words, it's a war that won't end. This problem will forever perpetuate.
