Am I a member of this secret, all-powerful pro-Israel lobby? I'd like to know since I haven't gotten my check from them this month and I figured they'd kicked me out of the global conspiracy.

Funny thing, I never called anybody an anti-Semite for "not fully supporting Israel". And you'd be hard pressed to find a case in any of the several thousand posts I've made where I have. After all, I don't "fully" support Israel. On the other hand, perhaps your difinition of "full support" is different. I've seen people say that Israel should be disbanded, all the Jews should go back where they came from (including the one's born there) and they should make reparations to virtually everyone involved. Perhaps that's what you think of as "not fully supporting". I'd say its over that line. I've seen people say that murdering children is OK because all Israelis are valid targets. Perhaps that's what you think of as "not fully supporting". I'd say its over that line as well. Let us know...

Personally, I find the facts pretty good in justifying my stands in the Middle East. Unfortunately, facts tend to be ignored in that debate partly because even the most rabid lies often start with "I know people will call me an anti-Semite for this" as a way of stifling debate. Most of the time what they're saying isn't even close to anti-Semitic but after that, every disagreement with them is met with "Stop calling me an anti-Semite" even when the point made is that they don't have a clue about a subject they're happy to ignorantly rant on and on about.

btw, once in a while a real bigot does slip in like the person this morning who posted in one of the forums that anti-Semitism was the fault of the Jews for not recognizing that anti-Semites were right and that Jews should change to make them happy.
