I was referring to you...you come here, a newbie, and immediately start insulting long time members...
read the thread. I introduced myself and was attacked. If you don't see it, I'd be happy to point out the post which did it. I started by saying who I am and then someone whom I have never met suddenly writes a diatribe imputing motives and attacking me because of my self definition as a Zionist. If that kind of response is OK with you and the norm on this board then so be it. But I will not stay silent when someone comes and attacks me. Again, if you'd like me to cut and paste the post I will but I'd like to think that you can scroll back and read it for yourself. Hint. It was post 7.
don't take it personally. if someone had come on and introduced themselves as an ardent KKK member or ardent neo Nazi skinhead, i would impute motives from that self description also and make similarly worded comments.
i think the time has long past for engaging zionists in pleasantries. you cannot be a zionist today without being rightfully seen as supporting apartheid, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing/genocide.
I shouldn't take the accusations and claims in post 7 personally even though they are aimed at me. Um...right. Meanwhile, you don't engage in pleasantries with people whom you don't know because you have decided that, due to their identification with a group, they deserve to be judged and berated. I can see how that will increase peace in the world. I guess I see things differently. If someone were to come on saying he was an ardent neo Nazi I simply wouldn't have anything to say to him until he made a comment which, on its own merit called for a specific response. Maybe in the meanwhile I would find that I don't fully understand who he is, or what he believes simply because of a title or an affiliation, and maybe I'd find that I have other areas which might be more in common. But that's just me. You keep doing whatever gives your life meaning.
