[However, why do you not mention how, over the years, Israeli agents have committed numerous acts of terror in various Middle Eastern countries inc. Egypt & Iraq with the explicit intent of forcing the region's "assimilationist" Jews into Israel?

Why don't YOU do this? Afraid of us revealing your sources to be BS as we have every other time ? |

So, do you draw the line at works like Black Sunday? What about works like Apocalypse Now and Born On The Fourth Of July? Do they also serve the same purpose of exempting the viewer from having to listen to the criticism of others?
For that matter, what about metropolitan anti-war movements in general? Do they fall into the same trap? Does going to an anti-war rally in San Diego just end up being an exercise in make-believe self-criticism, with the ultimate result that the particpants are absolved(in their own minds) of any responsibility to listen to what is being said in Baghdad and Beiruit? |
