A moran? What's a moran?

What you are saying is absolute crap. It's all or nothing with you. Level
one criticism, a fully valid one, and next thing a person is a Jew hater.
Israelis record with the Palestinians is fully recorded. They slaughter
them, they violate international law with impunity and they break every
promise they have ever made regarding the Palestinians.

Want some moral virtue?

Israel's hands are covered in blood and your moral relativism doesn't make
them any cleaner. That is the same excuse about the Iraq war - we may be
doing something bad but they must have been so much worse. And calling them
on their own actions, including the Lebanon shelling last year, does not
make me a Jew hater. I've got no reason to hate. I don't practice a
religious superstition that demands I hate. I can look at a situation and
see it for what it is. To me it would;t matter if Israel was populated by
space alien worshippers, I'd have the same criticisms.

They are judged by what they do and sometimes what they do is an atrocity
and the US has blocked EVERY UN resolution meant to sanction Israel for
their illegal actions. And that is one reason why WE are hated over there.
