[PW] ISRAEL RE: Isreal, and soldiers

[Franco, Adrienne]

First off, please learn how to spell the name of the country Israel.  No one asserted Israel is always right; however the post in question was not informative but inflammatory. Second, and most important -- this list is absolutely not the place to discuss political beliefs.  The purpose of this list is to help each other answer difficult reference/information questions.  There are plenty of other lists out there for people to discuss political issues.  No one, including the moderator, should forget that.  If he, or anyone else, wants to start a political discussion list on the Middle East, that is fine.  That is not what this list is about.

Subject: [PW] Isreal, and soldiers

It is quite possible to have the knowledge, based on reliable news
sources, that Isreal is not always totally right, anymore than it is not
unAmerican to have the absolute knowledge, again based on very reliable
news sources that the USA is not always totally upright.

The matter of the Isreali soldiers was WIDELY reported, nearly everywhere
except in the USA, and possibly Isreal.  That was that the two soldiers
were NOT "kidnapped", but captured in enemy territory.

I do not believe that the US is the absolute picture of kindness and
virtue, that hardly would make me hostile to the US, quite the contrary.
I cry for my country, and the horrid mistakes we have/are/and shall make
in the dubious name of valour.

Oh, and two other "trivial" facts.  STUMPERS is dead.  Quite dead.  Bumped
off by Dominican.  Project Wombat is alive for one reason only.  John
Franklin worked like a fiend to bring back some semblance of Stumpers, and
if it were not for him, we would not have ANY forum, period.  AND, should
John elect not to be around, neither would we.

This is a big world, and there is room in the tent for many opinions, if
we care to listen, and hear, and understand.  Connie
