if you so resent being called anti-semetic, you might think about explaining your positions...as opposed to simply stating them.
QuincyArcherok Quincy I have a problem with the US or Canada (since I am Canadian) supporting Israel. I especially have a problem with the US providing Israel with $2 billion dollars of support each year, when there are so many in your own country that need those dollars, for example Louisiana, after Katrina, which to this date is still a mess. I think 2 billion could help out a hell of a lot for them! Next point is that Israel is one of the top technology countries in the world.

"Over the past decade, Israel’s high-technology industry, second only to California’s Silicon Valley in concentration of firms.(4) Israel today ranks third in the world in the number of university graduates per capita, after the United States and the Netherlands.(5) It possesses the highest per capita number of scientists in the world, with 135 for every 10,000 citizens (compared to 85 per 10,000 in the United States) According to one recent survey, almost 81 percent of Israelis own cell phones, placing it sixth in the world. Another survey found that 54 percent of Israelis own personal computers, in comparison to only 42 percent of U.Srespondents.(8)"

So why is America supporting them with two billion dollars a year? Don't your own people deserve that money?
Now we can get into Israels human rights records. But this is touchy subject for Americans, since your allies can do no wrong! All I will say is that if you call me a Nazi for critisizing Isreal, what does it make Israel co-testing an atomic bomb with South Africa during the height of Apartheid

So I guess Israel dealing with a country that kept its Black population in ghettos, ok? Thats mighty fine of them considering what the Nazi's did to Jews in Europe before WW2. Well we won't even get into Gaza and the West Bank, or even Lebannon.
My post was against supporting Israel financially and with the photo, against Paul Wofowitz, who's neo-con policies have brought you guys into a war that is unwinable. Who's best interest is he looking out for the US's or Israel's?

Closing out here, just so you know I live in Toronto which has pretty good sized Jewish community. I have a few jewish friends some who agree with my point of view and others who don't. but at the end of the day they all know I am am not anti-semetic.
It just makes me laugh how people instantly jump to conclusions, when something is mentioned about Israel. I posted and then got busy so I never wrote my point of view, I am sure however I would, and still will be labeled a anti semite. I wonder if I posted a photo of Americans for Mexico, and said BOOOOO! if I would have been called a Nazi or a racist. I think not...what a bunch of fucking hipocrites!!
did i make my position clear Quincy!
