Now, about this

    Suppose we even “recognize that the Arab-Israeli conflict has anything to do with our problem”. Does anyone believe Islamists will quit whining after the establishment of a Palestinian state? The total destruction of Israel wouldn’t suffice.
    The National Socialists didn’t stop with the Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938.

    “you need to bother waiting to hear any more — as in, “let’s go out and attack some jews today because…” no “because” could possibly matter. and if you make it matter, you justify the attack and the attackers. you rationalize the hate and the evil behind it.”
    i assume that saying “let’s go out and attack iraq today because… (we phantasize about saddam having an awful lot of weapons of mass destruction and about him supporting each and every terrorist)” was something completely different, right? it wasn’t hypocritic at all, right? it wasn’t about rationalizing the hate and the evil behind it, right? oh dear…
