Tahir said:By your definition the Israeli state is the biggest terror nation on the whole friggin' planet.
I don't intend to argue or communicate with one who calls my statement 'full of shit.'
I think it is pretty obvious to most people that this would just lead to flaming and ill feeling.
That's fine, although FWIW, Tahir, I don't hold any ill-feeling toward you, and from your posts it's generally obvious that you're a pretty stand-up guy. It's just that your views on Israel--although unfortunately shared by a lot of people--are skewed beyond any sense of objectivity.
You're almost certainly right that any discussion on the issue is unlikely to reconcile our views at all. That's why I decided not to address the statement in detail, but rather just to point it out as (IMO) self-evidently wrong.
Anyways, this is all OT. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to PM.
