Let's see if I can get this straight:
1. People you call 'liberals' correctly point out that our unconditional support for Israel is the source of Middle Eastern animosity towards the US.
2. Wingnuts like you and the pro-Israel lobby jump on them to call them anti-semitic terrorist lovers.
3. Osama, Al-Sadr, and practically every other terrorist figure make statements that explicitly say, "we are attacking the US because of its support for Israel", thus proving point #1.
4. 'Liberals' are attacked once again for 'agreeing with terrorists', while the people in #2 continue to agrue that Israel has nothing at all to do with our problems and that the only reason we're attacked is because we're such a beacon of democracy and freedom while the terrorists are pure EVIL(TM).
I doubt you'll come back here to defend your statements. More likely you've already gone to leave your droppings at some other site. Just once I'd like to see an Israel supporter have the spine to admit what is a simple indisputable fact: that US support for Israel and its other policies in the Middle East, WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK THEY ARE A GOOD THING, is the direct cause of Muslim attacks against America, WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT. Of course this would mean betting that the vast majority of the American people would care enough about Israel to continue putting our own national security at risk for its sake. So it's understandable that you'd stoop to the lowest distraction tactics to keep people from connecting these two dots at all costs.
