(3 posts)hmmm...how do i put this?, your far more of a religious believer, than having a belief based on actual facts, events and history.
Your base belief, it appears, is that we, the collective of israel really are evil (yes, i'm including the reservists who voluntarily serve in the IDF, the politicians who live next door) and the Palestinians are collectively good. Now that is your belief and i have no problem with that base, but it definitely is "religious"
You may not see it as being religious, and there is hope for you yet.....
I believe the best example of how in the beginning you made claims that democracy can never come out of an occupation and your very firm about this and repeated it constantly. It took time and many many posts, but at the end you actually acknowledged that democracies did come out of germany, japan and israel during occupations (of course you added that the "Palestinian and israeli are different and it can't happen today-but I'll ignore that nonsense, and its nonsense because its a belief that has nothing to back it up).
so whereas you did adjust, and that is to your credit, it sure took a long time for such a black and white historical fact.....
as far as being an anti-semite...you i believe just have the "post modern version" that assumes us israelis are pretty evil as we like to humiliate the Palestinians and believe they are subhuman as per your posts to me. (do you need any of your quotes?)
