Have you noticed "taking the moral high ground" means you aren't allowed to win anymore?

Take Israel for example. They has HAD the moral high ground from Day One, IMO. Yet the same people that criticize the US no matter what we do, criticize Israel as well.


QUOTE]I take strong exception to that.

When, in the past sixty years has Israel had the high moral ground?, and further,

When in the past forty Years has the US held the high moral ground regarding their association with Israel?

That is why I critisize both for their virtually terroristic relationship. I am proudly those "SAME" people.

The terrorists are the people who target civilians. Or hasn't anyone told you?

Yom Kippur War, 6-day war.....

Yom Kippur War, 6-day war.....

Right...and Israel won land in that war and some people have been screaming for a do-over for the Palestinians ever since. They whine about U.S. money to Israel and say nothing of all the money the U.S. poured into Arafat's pockets. They complain about Israel's responses to terrorism, but never anything about the actual terrorist acts they respond to. They hate the existence of a Jewish state, but say nothing about the 11 muslim countries surrounding it. They hate Israel for keeping Palestinian terrorists out but not a word about Jews not being able to travel into Arab countries or have equal citizenship rights in those countries while Israel gives more rights to its Arab citizens than Arab countries do.

Gee...wonder why.

It's all in the way you look at it. or hasn't anyone told you? Go back to the beginning ('47/48)and the cleansing of the area by Zionists. Many many Palasinians were targeted and killed. and I beleive that Israel itself is a terrorist nation. Got it?

maybe because they started out as a terrorist organization, and never got over it.
