tviokh explains here why Bush has lost a vote this election. I want to print this out, hand it to people who say they're voting for Bush, and say, "Why?!"
I'm Jewish too, and I feel the same way - but it's okay to be Zionist and still criticize Israel. Just like I am American and criticize America.
Still, when I hear blatant lies, I feel like I have to correct them or at least present another perspective.
It may be true that some of the actions by the Israeli military are unwarranted - but I think that if we compare the retaliations to terror attacks by Israel to the retaliations to terror attacks by America.. that there is simply no basis for comparison, to say that Israel is comitting violent atrocities.
