Nice straw man.

Listen, this is how the world works: There's good guys, who are always right and admirable and everything they do is acceptable up to and including accidentally blowing little kids to bits when their shooting at other people. Then there are bad guys and everything they do is wrong and if they do anything that looks right, like forming a peace organization, it's just a dirty trick to fool you. Since I feel the Israelis could do a better job, I plainly am on the side of evil and what I really mean is that I favor the forces of darkness and want the world to be overun by demons as soon as possible. I particularly look forward to the day I feast on Naldo's still living flesh.

I think this situation has moved beyond "good guys" and "bad guys" to an "us" and "them" scenario. It sounds so fucking noble and enlightened to say that Israel isn't trying hard enough to create peace, but they're the only ones who seem to recognize that these extremists, no matter how many negotiations are made, no matter how much pressure is placed on them by their more moderate companions, will never cease to attempt a violent overthrow of Israel. It's about self-preservation. Call them hawks if you like, but then, you've never dealt with many suicide bombings up there in Salem now, have you?
And why do I support Israel in this brawl? Because they represent democracy in the fight against totalitarianism, fundamentalism, and theocracy. In short, they're the American equivalent in the Middle East.
