"JAMES, ON ISRAEL YOU ARE OVER THE TOP!!!" (the all-caps are mine). From one of the only 2 HS 'friend' still communicating with me on FB (as of last night, that is):  "Your diatribes against Israel are over the top...."  (click link for detail)...

My reply:

"You'd say the same to me if we were back in 1940 and my issue was my family the Jews in Germany, or in 1985 and the issue my family the blacks in South Africa, etc, etc. (Darfur Genocide, Rwanda Genocide, Black Slaves, Southern Lynchings and Southern 'Democracy' of the pre-1960's, women not having the vote pre-1920, etc, etc, etc). There have always been a million misled, uninformed, ignorant, detached, dispassionate, heartless, walking dead, cowardly people in these situations saying calm down, be reasonable, be balanced, for every one like me that cares enough to see the truth, to learn the truth, to speak the truth, to live the truth. I'm guessing that unlike me you have not studied dozens of the scholarly works * on the subject of what's going on in Palestine? Either way my comments stand. Throughout the ages those like you, and like I was for so many decades, are why these horrors don't end. Martin Luther King said: nothing in all the world is so dangerous as conscientious stupidity and sincere ignorance. Friend, if the shoe does not fit please do not wear it.  (* a collection of the easiest to digest sources are at the top of my blog http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/ .  Yes, they take more time than it does to dismiss my postings as 'over the top,' but they take less than the 68 years our willful ignorance has allowed it to go on so far.)"
