    Steele

    You said earlier today

    I don't hate Jews. I hate ass-holes. And if ass-holes defend their ass-ness with Judaism, then it looks like I hate Jews.

    Apart from the contradiction found in that quote, you now (or, more recently, since you've written quite a bit) write:

    Maybe becuase (sic) I am pointing out the core beliefs of the Jewish State, which the United States supports with money and arms, that support being detrimental to our national security?

    So, in short, which is it? Is it that Israel is the recipient of billions and the purveyor of death and destruction? Or is it "I hate Jews"?

    The former is obvious, like an F-16 going a million miles an hour. The latter--which I think is driving you at an unhealthy speed--well, I don't know where you'll end (except it'll be unhappy).
