You are entirely missing the point I am making.
The State of Israel has a long history of both
denying rights to its Arab citizens and to
committing sins of commission by blasting away
whenever an act of terrorism is committed against
it. That is, if some Palestinian terrorist blows
up an Israeli school, the result is the Israeli
military action destroying twenty blocks of some
Palestinian town. This is an absolute violation
of those Nurmburg doctrines to which I find
exception: you are not permitted to hold an
entire populace guilty for the sins of the
few. Sorry about that. But Israel has violated
the Nuremburg Doctrines since its creation. For
that matter, the execution of Eichmann, deserved
or not, was a violation of these doctrines.
With a name like Small I'm supposed to be
anti-Semitic? Oy vey! Everyone who has ever met
me has presumed that I am of Jewish heritage and
I do know some Yiddish and Hebrew. I do not know
enough of either. But I do know that barbaric
behavior is intolerable, whether committed by
Communists or Israelis. It is simply
intolerable. Doesn't that pretty much end this
discussion, or are you going to try to explain
why the Israelis doing to Palestine as Another
Nation did to, say, the Ghetto in Warsaw is different?
