take it easy calig - i dont blame you for being upset. most of my comments assume a slighter higher level of reading comprehension skills and all these concepts must be confusing to you.
you reposted this out of context:
"can't blame white protestant males for this one only rich american jews who remained more or less anonymous throughout the process."
the thread like most others found a way to somehow make "colonial masters" read: euro-descended white males responsible for the middle east situation. my reply holds that they may not have been the devil here and that many countries were involved in the creation of a jewish state. how else COULD you have twisted it? if you dont believe that old american jewish money influenced the creation of israel then take it up with these authors:
norman finklestein and ahron bregman who cover it nicely in their books. they are both jews btw in case you didnt catch that and are often criticised by the jewish community for their outspoken criticisms of the guilt industry. especially in 'israel and the arabs' by aron bregman and jihan el tahri a palestinian and a jew btw. try reading it over a few times and sounding it out slowly, you'll get it.
as for your other repost, i'm sorry you dont like my language but i am not going to pad it because its the politically correct thing to do. i dont think any group is beyond criticism despite the constant conditioning and i am not going to excuse israel because jews have been made off limits due to their history. many peoples have had a tough time they should stop being so thin skinned. in a world that hopes to live together we all are open to criticism not just your favorite targets.
