re: #100 Killgore Trout

Why do you assume the Israelis are racist bigots?

I believe recusancy was simply asking a hypothetical question. To assume that there was a good reason to stop Dan Rather’s cameraman or whatever he was is to assume that Palestinians are suspect based on their race. To question the isolated situation doesn’t make a general statement about Israelis as a whole, but simply points to some of the problems of hyper-sensitive security procedures…there really is no good way to look at it. Either you’re right and the other race is bad, or you’re wrong and your race is bad. It’s black and white thinking and it never has a very nice answer.
