CT: "You're in acute denial and by that I don't mean the river in Egypt."

Yeah, and when I say you're projecting, I ain't talking home movies.

BECKY: "You want to dismantle the entire Jewish State of Israel--the only Jewish state in the world. That makes you look like a bigot to me. An anti-Jewish bigot."

Look, bonehead, I've said this before: Israel is wildly destabilizing the entire global political equilibrium. There is no getting around the fact that Israel is far and away the largest grievance Islamists have with the West, is all but causative of this movements very existence, and as such is almost certainly the largest reason 9-11 happened. Take away Israel's existence, or our inconcievably huge support of same, and I daresay 9-11 would not have happened. 9-11 in turn has transformed the United States, the most powerful country in history, into a nation of reactionary "kill 'em all" meatheads led by a cabal of gloating overt fascists. You know what, Becky? ISRAEL ISN'T WORTH THAT. Israel isn't worth what this country is turning into now, isn't worth what this country will make the rest of the planet turn into simply by way of surviving. Unlike you, I don't make Israel the centerpiece of my entire belief system. I truly love this planet, I desperately want it to be whole and sane, so I don't want to see it spiral down the shitter just so 15 million Jews can get their age-old political fantasy fulfilled. And no, that's not about Jews. It could be 15 million Greenland Inuits. Take your 0.23 percent of humanity from wherever you wish, the same logic still holds.

When you insist that yes, that 0.23 percent should get everything they want, even if that means jackbooted global empire for the other 6.4 BILLION, well Becky, THAT'S WHAT I CALL BIGOTRY. You see, being a bigot doesn't just mean you hate some other group. Even more than that, it means your sympathies go out disproportionately to one particular group, usually your own.

If Israel's creation, existence, and posture were actually defensible, I don't think this case could be made, mainly because if that were so Israel would not have so severe a destabilizing effect.
