Response to Fat

Maybe my post wasn't clear enough. If somebody supports Israel for secular reasons I am with them but I am not interested in joining ranks with numerous Christian groups who support Israel for religious or biblical reasons - there are plenty of them in the US. It has not been clear to me which camp Daniel Pipes is in. I fully oppose admitting Turkey into the EU. I want Europe to thrive as a free enlightened society but at the same time be open to immigrants from the right countries. As for Palestine I have sympathy for the few innocent Palestinians who have suffered but I am firmly on Israel's side because Israeli society is a civilized society that has overcome tremendous odds to get to where it is today. We cannot afford to not help Israel in its difficulties. Arab countries have such a disappointing record in human rights and discrimination that nobody with a conscience can support them.
