I used to get the tired old "anti-Semitic!" stuff thrown at me if I voiced opposition to the apartheid called the Israeli govt.

Lately, it seems two new mantras have come to the fore.

Darfur's genocide, and all the other countries in the world who treat their people unfairly.

I'd think the once European and Russian Jews who "settled" Palestine (read wrested the area from its rightful owners) would want no part in the horrors of a systematic holocaust visited on another group in their name.

Yet, the Israeli government continues its policy of racism and genocide under the guise of either protecting its citizens from terrorism or the ancient "chosen people" crap. Either way, their umbrella will cover anyone's opoosition to their heavy-handed tactics. No one could possibly argue with a mission so noble as that!

Some of us can discuss the issue without resorting to personal attacks.

>>"Yet there isn't a separate message board for that. Funny. Not much interest?"<<

If you're interested in establishing a message board for the discussion of an issue dear to your heart, never let it be said that I stood in your way. I certainly hope you'll invite me to participate.
