And I find it fascinatin' since I continue to explore the web for the incident where the Jews flew a jetliner into a public place in this country and incinerated and crushed a few thousand innocent Americans. Can't find it. Anybody got a link?

When I first posted my opinion on this I predicted that there will be a pack of liberal hounds who just won't be able to let it go. Too bad for me I'm not a bagger, eh?

You can explore the web all you want and not find anything about Palestinians doing this either. The hijackers were from another of our Mideastern "allies," Saudi Arabia. Another specious, conflating argument like nearly all of your arguments on this thread.

BTW, the nastiness of one's enemy doesn't automatically render all of one's tactics to fight this enemy above criticism. Saddam was a very bad guy, yet our tactics there resulted in numerous critical books from respected American authors. Why is it that Israel's tactics are always and inherently beyond reproach?

It is a cheap, intellectually lazy response to always state that anti-Semitism is the source of all criticism or misgivings about Israel's approach or that since their enemy is nasty, any and all tactics are also above criticism. This standard doesn't apply to criticism of our own country or any other ally. Why should it apply only to Israel?
