Thanks for reminding everyone that blogs are not government sponsored rags, and are meant to reflect the oppinions of the people writing them. Bravo on the stance on Zionism too. You're on the blogroll. Keep up the good work. Meryl,

As you point out, for those who wish to see Israel and Jews bashed, there are innumerable fonts of foolery and foulness. May you remain a font of decency and truth.

I am a U.S. Submariner stationed in Hawaii, which appears is not safe from N.K. now, and I had the opportunity to get to know an Israeli soldier who was staying in a hostel in Waikiki for a month. Until then, I didn't really understand the angst people had with Israel. I wasn't into politics at the time and all I knew was that Israel was surrounded by despotic assholes; I did't understand why Palestine hated Jews so much. I didn't understand why people didn't recognize the state of Israel when I could read about Jews in the Bible some 2 thousand years ago. After talking to my new Israeli friend, Antonio, I quickly gained perpective, first hand, to the Israeli culture and struggle through Antonio's stories. That friendship peopelled me to an exhaustive Internet search on the creation of hte state of Israel. You are absolutely correct when you say there are sites that have nothing on them but Jew-hating agendas. It makes my head hurt to read the same tiring arguments you talked about page after page. I will never understand how people can take such a harsh stand against Israel- is it because Israel has turned the .1% of the Arab land they own into a thriving oasis? How cosmicly ignorant. I wave a dismissive hand at the tools who continue to bring the First Amendment into question when it comes to blogs. Why would the rules on someone's blog be any different than if you were in that person's house? I have left a few blogs because the owners did not care for my style of writing- it gets a bit brash at times and since they do not like it I exercise the freedom to not go there. Thank you for this site, Meryl, for giving people the opportunity to learn even more about Israel and its struggles. It will be added to my modest blogroll. Well stated remarks, Meryl.

I'm another non-Jewish Zionist, perhaps even a bit hard-core. I love Israel. I know of few Nations, or Peoples, more entitled to a land of their own than the Jewish people. The hateful fictions used to attack Israel's existence are completely hollow in light of Israel's ancient history and the sorrows inflicted on her children by so many barbarous groups. I follow Israel issues fairly closely, but going through your comment section for this topic alone has been quite enlightening, and I think I have some catching up to do! You can thank Captain Ed for a new reader, and I thank you for raising your voice as eloquently as you do. God Bless Israel; and God Bless you, Meryl.

I don't know which I appreciate more, your general theme or the phrase, <em>"anyone with an IQ above room temperature"</em>. I think this is the first time I've laughed since Olmert took office.
