Joseph, you say that whenever anyone voices a criticism of Israel, my knee-jerk response is to call them an anti-semite.

That is not what I am doing. If you look at what I actually write, you will see that I take every argument and "fact" presented and discuss its merits. Name-calling is rarely fruitful even if it is deserved.

You on the other hand wallow in name-calling and in labeling people. I don't think this adds to the dialogue here, creating more heat than light.

I also think that you shouldn't insult indymedia readers by endlessly cutting and pasting what you have posted before. Why can't you compose a response that addresses the exact issues raised?

Don't you have the facts to back up your charges?
