Why is stating facts 'racist'? You guys need to get a grip. Are we to say that No Jew has ever done anything bad? Are we to say that of all the waring tribes in the history of the world, somehow Jewish tribes were pure as they killed other people and took their land? In trying to avoid being anti-Semitic, you lean too far in teh other direction. Why is it that people(especially conservatives?) turn into bleeding-heart liberals when it comes to Israel?
It's like trying to talk about Germany's place in the world while ignoring World War II...you can't pretend that nothing negative was ever done by a Jewish group any time in history. You don't have to call me a racist just because I try to look a little deeper than you are willing to do.
(and, as stated repeatedly, I don't buy into the idea of future generations being punished for the actions of their ancestors...that sort of attitude belongs to the Judeo-Christian faith, and I'm an Atheist. I was just inquiring into the idea that 4,000 year old politics may need to be factored into things...)
