"You keep repeating that. That does not make it true."

That's a rather flippant response to a serious debate. I don't see how it applies any more strongly to my statements than it does to yours.

My point, which you're avoiding, is that Israel gets an inordinate amount of negative attention. You don't find that curious? That you repeatedly make anti-Israeli comments on any post even remotely related to Israel? Why is that? You don't seem to have as much of a zealous hatred for other countries.

There is no world-wide hatred of the Burmese. Millions of people do not march in the streets chanting "Death to Burma." You're missing the point.

People are free to criticize Israel. Obviously. My point is that it is interesting that of all the countries in the world, Israel gets such a huge portion of the hatred and criticism. Why is that? Israel may not get all the blame, but ask 100 people, "Who is to blame for the Palestinians' miserable situation?" - 99 out of 100 will say "Israel." But if you "do your homework", as someone suggested I do earlier, you discover that the Arab countries and the Palestinians' own leaders deserve a lion's share for the current disaster. And yet, Israel must die. Israel must die. Why?

If I were Palestinian, I would be wondering why all the neighboring Arab states have, for nearly a century, denied aid to the Palestinians and shunned them as a people. Rather than supply aid and support, Hezbollah and similar organizations use them as pawns against Israel. I agree - Palestinians are in a miserable, tragic situation. But it's far too convenient to pile all the blame on Israel. And again - I'll ask you - why is it that Israel gets all the blame? Why is Israel demonized all over the world? Nothing to do with anti-semitism?

Even the slightest mention of Israel on this site brings a flurry of anti-Israel comments. It's a curious thing. Why so much zealous enmity toward Israel? Especially when it's an article about an art exhibit. It begs the question - why hate on Israel so much? There's no flurry of hateful comments on any and all posts on China or Iran or Pakistan or Saudi Arabia or Burma or Syria. Ask yourself - why is that?

Same folks, jumping right on the anti-Israel train again. And, as comment 10 reveals, you're completely mistaken in your assumptions about the victims. Of course, my post will likely be "edited" by this site again.

Antinous - you really have nothing against Jews? You sure about that?

I stand by my comments and am quite sure that there was nothing disrespectful, especially when compared to any of the other posts. If this website censored my comments, I suspect that it was because of the viewpoint and content, which is extremely disappointing, considering that this site supports open speech and helps reveals acts of censorship. I would hope that fellow commenters would support me here, even if you disagree with my viewpoint.

Can someone from the website (or anyone at all) explain why all my comments on this post were censored (someone removed all the vowels, rendering them unreadable)? I said nothing insulting or offensive, something which even people here who disagreed with me with will agree with. If the admins of this website are censoring comments because they disagree with the content, that would be extremely unfortunate. This website (rightly) supports free expression and flow of ideas, even if we don't agree with what's being said. It's one of the greatest elements of our constitution, and would be a shame if it isn't being honored here.
