Okay... (puts on Nomex underwear)...
Now, I'm no jew-hater. Grew up in predominantly jewish neighborhoods, went to school with jewish kids... best friends... blah blah blah... I recognize the Right of the State of Israel to exist... (really, just ignorant of all the arguments for and against so that my opinion would be uninformed and is, therefor irrelevant)
But that doesn't negate the need to ask (oneself) about the reasons for and perhaps to recognize culpability, where it exists, for the ancient and on-going animosity. They aren't infallible. And the Holocaust doesn't give a perpetual "by" for misdeeds.
(For example: I have a pretty good idea why *I'm* so popular
)
Now, as for Kafilornian legislators taking an official Anti-Israel stance... that is poor diplomacy... and ignores the differing opinions, I'm sure, of many of their constituents.
