Firstly I want to make the point that even though I am critical of Israel, that doesn't mean I'd support the persecution of Jewish people.
I'm sorry if my criticism invokes a fear of persecution, I assure you this is not my intention.
I think that the Pro-Israel people need to see things realistically, and I'm yet to truly see any real evidence of it.
If a Pro-Israel person makes a point that I think is reasonable, I'll accept and acknowledge it, but I don't see any of the same from the other side, ever.
I think that the Pro Israel tactics of demanding evidence, answering questions with more questions, attacking the person making the comments, attempting to discredit them or the poison the well tactics are really not going to help you win respect with non-Jews in the long run.
It just makes you look more guilty, and you're only going to make things worse for yourselves.
You should consider this.
Now you can fool a lot of uninformed idiots, but I think its a lot harder for you to ever be able to fool people like me or Geoff for example who have taken the time to look into things a least a little bit deeper.
The only way you are truly going to earn the respect of others is to come clean with your mistakes, answer the criticisms you all constantly avoid and turn over a new leaf and try to act like reasonable moral (and non-manipulative) people.
My mum taught me if you always do as you always done then you'll always get what you always got.
