Discussing Israel/Gaza on right-wing talk radio

I had an unexpectedly substantive discussion of the Middle East and the "Islamic threat" on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" last night.

    You seem a bit schizoid here. After days of spewing your racist beliefs, without any sources, such as:

    "palestine was a nationality in about the same sense that texan is a nationality. or maybe more accurately, alaska; the place was a backwater of the arabian/syrian province, and arabs there intermingled freely with the surrounding peoples, not distinguishable by language, religion, clothing, names, or the other things that vaguely distinguish a nation."

    And after trying to convince people to care about other conflicts instead:

    "Which reminds me; anybody notice that ugandan rebels (who style themselves as Chrstian fundamentalists) have slaughtered over 400 Congolese civilians in the past couple of days, mostly "women and children, who were cut into pieces", for the crime of just being there when the rebels passed through? probably not, we have to ration our indignation to the most egregious crimes."

    You now post something which basically validates the Palestinian military struggle for self-determination. If, after all, Israel is inserting its population into the West Bank and [previously] Gaza, then Palestinians have an internationally recognized right to resist militarily. This right is recognized in the Geneva Conventions and in the UN charter.
