Mr Shoebat's Audience Doesn't Hate

Submitted by Cheryl Skid (United States), Jan 25, 2007 at 19:04

Mr. Hubers, you said, " against people that your chosen audience already despises." Mr. Hubers, if you are suggesting that Jews hate Palestinians, you are wrong. I am Jewish. I was even in Israel during the Six Day War. I evidenced NO hatred for Jews toward the Arabs (no one used the word Palestinian at that time). I witnessed Jewish mothers showing gentle love for the children they were comforting in the bomb shelters. I just saw anguish on the scratched faces of the Morrocan Jewish women who found out their sons had been killed. But, I saw no evidence that Jews despise Arabs or Palestinians, even when they were facing possible death.

I have met Mr. Shoebat. But that isn't what drew me to respond by letter. What drew me to respond was your misguided premise about Jewish people hating Palestinians.
