[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I read your posts to my liberal husband re: Israel. He said what I feel: that you start with decent analysis, sense  than make comments that are not accurate, based on current news sources. Example is the terror tunnels. Another example is negating the importance of the known terrorist tactic of firing rockets from/near civilian areas to deliberately create casualties that they can then exploit through the media. He said all this is well-publicized in mainstream, so he's curious as to the narrowness of your sources.

As a strong conservative, I respect my liberal husband's views, because he is able to parse through what he digests in the media with impartiality. He feels your comments definitely lean anti-Semitic, and he bases that on the fact that you seem to be denying Hamas's responsibility by stating Israel should not strike back, and then turning it around saying Israel is the one who deliberately wants civilian casualties, despite the fact that it's well-known that Israel warns civilians of impending attacks. Certainly, we agree that if any Israeli soldier has deliberately and wantonly murdered a civilian for no reason, then surely that person should be held responsible.  But my husband also pointed out that in a region where civilians often are militants, and children are sent out and encouraged to engage in terrorist acts, a strong case can be made for the Israelis, that it's hard to tell what's what.

The reason you are called Orwellian is because you, in the past, have used information only a moderator/owner of the board has, and linked posts together and used it to garner insults, stating that it's your job to do so.  At least admit that you've done this, and that, at the very least, it's really not good practice[/quote]

Linda, if you are going to suggest that I am an anti-Semite, or post your husband's suggestion that I am an anti-Semite, please don't hide behind anonymity. If your husband has thoughts that he would like to share with me, he can do it himself. As for you, I would suggest that the Israeli flag included on your Twitter avatar prevents you from being in a position to lecture me about bias.
