And you have no bias or bigotry? How any un-WASPish pals you got then?

Cruddy, since I am a Catholic, I hardly qualify to be a WASP myself.

Does this mean you are biased and bigoted against non-Catholics?

Nevermind... look, the bits of behaviour I don't like about Israel are;-

1) Torturing of detainees.
2) Use of assassination.
3) Bulldozing of homes, sometimes with people still in them. It's not nice being homeless.
4) House arrest and gagging of political dissidents.
5) Complete lack of interest in being held responsible for their actions.

I've got problems with people who use these kind of solutions, whether Jewish, Hottentot or atheist.

I have listed a few possibilities for the US' lack of taking the blame for Israels crimes against humanity;-

A) Moral indifference - "Hey, they do some bad things but the ends justify the means".

B) Moral stupidity - "They only do bad things to Arabs so that's fine by us".

C) Moral ignorance - "Crimes? What crimes? They just have some odd hobbies..."

D) Moral Cowardice - "We know they do bad things but we're really scared of being thought anti-semitic so we just play dumb".

I think the first is the most likely and the last the least likely, although I suspect in your case this might have to be reversed.
