re: #7 OhCrapIHaveACrushOnSarahPalin

One of the reasons I’ve found refuge here is it’s one of the few places — on earth, it seems — where Republicans are criticized yet you can still be pro-Israel with np. It’s a rarity. I don’t see that as having changed. I think Republicans are full of crud on the ME, anyway, and do not trust them as far as I can throw them on the issue. Well, the CZ ones, anyway.

We criticize everybody.

I’m one who used to criticize Israel as the bully on the block and took the side of the Palestinians as being generally victims until a few people here led me to information I hadn’t considered previously. Now I criticize Israel and/or the Palestinians based on the circumstance and I unequivocally and vehemently condemn the shelling of Israeli civilians by Palestinian terrorist groups.

I still believe there are people in Palestine who do not want the violence.
