Knowing that my husband died from wounds received in Afghanistan, you posted in response to a post of mine, “they ALL died for nothing – get over it”. That was pretty hurtful.

It could be that you and I do share common ground on the Israel question. I cannot say, with my hand on my heart, that I support what’s going on in Israel, and I’ve just returned from there so I have some first-hand experience of it. Sadly, any discussion of the ‘bigger picture’ is impossible because you reply aggressively and generalise. Some time ago you and another poster had a rant between you about how horrible the murderous Jews are. I knew you meant ‘some Israelis’ but you said ‘Jews’. It was an anti-Jewish tirade. You also said, in this very thread, “Despicable place populated by sad deluded hateful people”. Actually, when I was there, just after they found the bodies of the three dead Israeli boys and things were heating up again, hundreds of Israelis gathered in Jerusalem to call for peace. I’m sure that wouldn’t have made the news here… but they didn’t seem particularly despicable, deluded or hateful to me.

It’s for these reasons I really don’t want to discuss the question of Israel, or anything else, with you.
