Unlike you, I don't have "knee-jerk" reactions when discussing Arab-Israeli conflicts. Painting either side as "all bad", or always wrong, is... what phrase did you use in another post... the lazy way out? I will always prefer to read and/or listen to the accounts of an objective, knowledgeable 3rd party... in this case, one who has personally been there and talked to average, everyday people. You see Lyle... contrary to what you might think, not all Arabs are hateful, violent, fanatical maniacs bent on killing Jews and burning American flags.
And although you might dismiss someone like miles and his anti-American rants, you might stop to think about the average, peace-loving Arab citizen who gets the shit bombed out of him, in the name of "peace-keeping" by the U.S. After a few bombs rain down on his neighborhood... he might start developing some bad feelings toward the big, bad U.S. Wouldn't you? If you were in his shoes?
But all this is pointless. I suggested some good, objective reading material..... and you declined, choosing instead to dismiss it with your jokes and insults. That is par for the course as far as you are concerned. Which is once again why..........
