    Israel

    Mr. Ben-Yehuda: Why did I not say all those other things. Gee, who knows, probably because I don't believe them. You call anyone who disputes you and criticizes the policies of Israel, and then you say you want a rational argument. Amazing.

    You are woefully misinformed, Mr. Yehuda. I will admit that I understated the peril to Israel in 1967 - except for the land grab in the Golan after the ceasefire (the attack on the USS Liberty was cover for that land grab). Everything else is documented thoroughly. Since we have no way to communicate, there is no way to have further discourse. I would leave my email address except that the tone of your almost totally inaccurate diatribe would probably expose me to danger to me and my family.
