comment "f" has ever made. the fact that you/he posted repetitive information (accompanied by disrespectful verbage against my stated guidlines for the community) and it didn´t get re-posted is entirely the fault of the guilty party. b) this is not a "rescue" situation. simply a like-minded individual recognizing and commenting on the short-comings of "f"´s argument.that s

Ignatius,Thanks
for coming to Mike’s rescue…btw Mike often doesn’t “publish” some of my responses so I may have to go directly to your blog to address some of your opinions.“I think Mike has done exactly this in good faith.” You could say that about any opinion from anyone regarding any subject.“Just because you (F) happen to disagree with Mike's (and my) assessments

should try to look at the history of the conflict objectively (something possibly impossible if you are an Israeli or a Palestinian), and then make up their minds regarding responsibility and possibilities for a peaceful future.I think Mike has done exactly this in good faith.

how the brain of a “rightwing-nut” would look like (assuming there is a brain): greed, perhaps guilt for the last eight years—no make that denial, fear-politics, no sense of humor (perhaps that’s a shared trait), Ronald Reagan shrine (W shrine?), ultranationalism, anti-immigration, dummer than thou tumor, less educated than thou tumor, conventional lifestyle, anti-gay, moral certa

from Dershowitz?! This is a guy who argued that OJ was innocent (?). I think that exemplify quite well the tone of your other “arguments”. The situation is really tragic. Over 900 people dead! The amount of hate existing from both sides is ever-growing and your opinions seem be even more inflammatory and pro-violence. You seem to think that Israel ca

were expelled from Czechoslovakia after the Second World War? About half a million, along with two million or so other non-Czech nationals? As Derb asked in a recent column, where are the terrorist attacks? Where are the refugee camps?The answer, of course, is that there aren't any. The Sudeten Germans moved on and resettled. The Palestinians could have done the same

is that Hamas
is an extreme Islamic
organization? I think we all know that. However, it is important to remember that Hamas has only risen to power because of Israel’s policies. It fractured Fatah, when Arafat was in power, allowing Hamas to ascend. Look, again, Israel has the right to defend itself, but what it has done to the Palestinians in Gaza in the last quarter century i

comment from a US marine and I quote: "I recently retired from the US Marine Corps, but I saw service in Iraq. I do know something of military matters that are relevant to the situation now in Gaza.I am dismayed by the rhetoric from US politicians and pundits to the effect that “if the US were under rocket attack from Mexico or Canada, we would respond like the Isr

. the computer is up and running finally, albeit without sound yet.i would only re-emphasize that, even when israel has won militarily, whether in '67, '73, '82 or '06 it has been deprived of the political consequenses by politicians (eg. sarkozy, brown) seeking status for themselves, and consequently encouraging entities, such as hamas, to continue in the ques

However, don’t you have any sympathy for the innocent portion of the Palestinian population? I for one am very conflicted on this issue. I have many dear Jewish friends and have great admiration for many of their cultural elements. And although I think that the creation of the state of Israel as it was done was a huge mistake, the fact is that they

Of course please have the last word as well—it is your blog after all…With all due respect: the fact that we often don’t exactly know how a natural phenomenon occurs, any phenomena, does not automatically make all existent explainable hypothesis equal in quality or credibility.

we discuss
are significant and I not going to deny that I am perhaps antagonistic at times, but is it possible that you’ve also been a bit aggressive? I don’t mind the tone, because I think it comes with the territory. Your posts have to do with gay rights, civil rights, religion and science, among others, so while we can attempt to keep a civilized tone, emotions are goi
