Refuting a Commentator Soofi

Refuting Commentator Soofi
Randall Kuhn has my respect for having such a fine sense of justice and fairness and for tearing that argument apart with a compelling analogy of his own. Does that sensibility come from the fact that he is Jewish and perhaps his religion has guided him as such? If it had, I wouldn't be surprised. When the muslim world criticizes the injustices of Israel, those complaints are brushed away as antisemitism, but it is not the jews that are hated, they are still the People of the Book - it is the hatred of wickedness and injustice that we see and condemn. If more voices like those of Randall Kuhn stepped forward, a bridge towards peace could be built.

Here's hoping..

Bias and prejudice has corrupted this analogy that Randall Kuhn has made. The argument is indeed torn apart by that and not his sense of justice, but a flaw in Mr. Kuhn’s character. A frequent tactic employed by those who would like to see Israel go away, is to pose as a Jew and then argue against its policies of survival. So the reader thinks “If a Jew can argue against Israel’s interests perhaps it’s OK.” Theres even this plug for Judaism, as if Judaism has ideals better than Israel’s. To brush away the Islamic worlds complaints about the injustices of Israel as anti-semitism is misleading, false and inaccurate. It reeks badly of distortion and more bias. The Islamic world since 1920 has objected to a non-Muslim state in their midst. Its not anti-semitism but anti-diversity!! The Commentator here says its not the Jews who are hated but their policies. You cannot separate these. The Arabs call the Israelis …Yehudis. That’s Jews. The emphasis is on their being Jews not Zionists. They do call Israel “the Zionist entity” because if they utter “Israel” its like recognizing the Jewish state as LEGAL. Yes theur is a hatrred of Arabs in Israel. You cannot expect anything else from the constant raids, rockets, gun fights, kidnappings, airplane hijackings, assaisinations massacres and acts of terror endured by Israelis since 1920 (28 years before the state was founded). This so-called bridge of peace seems to resembles Neville Chamberlains rather than Winston Churchills
