You do mean to exaggerate when you say "the world continues in crisis" all because of Israel's racist policies - right?

I'm as opposed to Israel's current Apartheid state as any person with a sliver of a conscience. But blaming all the world's crises on Israel seems to me pushing it just a bit, don't you think? You make a strong case regarding the damage that can be done to other conflicts as a result of Israel's stranglehold over American politics, but I am sure that world crises would continue were Israel to announce tomorrow a full retreat to 67 borders and granting of Palestinian Right of Return.

Your assessment of Middle East affairs is somewhat impressive - so, I'm perplexed as to your less-than-impressive understanding of Latin America? Put another way, if Latin-American issues were the Palestinian conflict - you would most certainly be the pro-Israel guy. You know the ones, right? The ones who are always dimwittedly barking about Israel's need for "self-defense". Making fun of any and all of Palestinian's important leaders. Challenging every single source that dares question a pro-Israel stance. That guy - is YOU when it comes to Latin American issues, at least, as far as I see it. Get where I'm coming from?

So, maybe there is something I am missing about Latin American issues. I'm open to possibilities.

What is your view exactly of the Leftist social movements led by Chavez and Morales ... do you not see these movements as good things? Or do you simply have some personal distaste for Chavez and Morales, while hoping for the movement overall to continue? I haven't got a sense that you were much into Anarchist positions.. is that possibly your take? No ... that just doesn't add up for you. Peace Patriot is much closer to Anarchist takes on things, and you seem to always oppose something or other that PP says - or maybe I haven't understood?

Help me out here... you seem to "get it" with the Israel/Palestine problems. Why the apparent disdain for Leftist movements in Latin America? It just doesn't add up.
