Verne, the fact that you conniving, cynical betrayers of America actually think the outrage you evoke is funny only justifies the very worst that may be coming to you when your little jig is finally up.
Here come the threats of violence.
Predictable, and only a matter of time, coming from the philosophical stable-mate of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah, Hezbollah….......

We need more people like you, thanks.

Actually, I believe the population of Israel is less than 7 million citizens, and 20 percent of these citizens are 2nd-class, i.e., non-Jewish.
The latest census figures out Israel’s 2007 population at 7,150,000, of which Jews constitute 76%, or 5,415,000 people.
And you labeled ALL the citizens of Israel “tar babies”. Every man, woman, and child.
I challenge you to go to the next meeting of the NAACP, or better yet, the local chapter of the Nation of Islam, and address the assembled people as ‘tar babies’.
I will pay your medical expenses, or, if necessary, your funeral expenses.
I can’t wait to see what nonsense you come up with next - you are very entertaining, “non credo”.

But one day, you will realize that you have mistaken our good nature for stupidity.
“You” vs. “Our” figures so prominently in your thinking.
Are you so sure I am not as American as one can be? After all, I just might be one of the overwhelming majority of American citizens who is both well-informed about Middle East issues AND pro-Israel. That would put YOU in the minority. Shall I repost some of examples of your hateful rhetoric to contradict your claim of being ‘good natured’?
Here’s some very recent examples of your good nature:
#80127 by Non Credo on 6/21 at 1:39 pm - “I hate you because I am sick, down to my bones, of my government underwriting your profoundly hateful and murderous Zionist project.”
#80118 by Non Credo: - “Shes like a slut who recklessly gobbles antibiotics and retrovirals (paid for by her stupid sucker boyfriend) and then orgies her guts out, because, well, she just loves filth.”

You tell us to our faces that you think were inferior to you
Who tells whom, exactly?
And where?
Cite something specific. Or is this just more empty rhetoric?

Now, as you can see, my use of the term derives from this and only this, the absolutely standard use of the term.
In America today, the standard use of this term is pejorative.
Go up to the next black man you see and call him a tar baby to his face.
See what happens.

If we in the US would only drop our passionate attachment to the tar baby that is Israel
Tar baby?
The expression “tar baby” has negative connotations revolving around pejorative images of African-Americans.
Are you saying that Israelis are dark and nasty like African-Americans?
You are an equal-opportunity bigot. Jews AND blacks are on your shit-list now. Very nice.
In recent years, several Republicans who have publicly used the term have encountered some controversy, mocking, and censure from African-American civil rights leaders. Why on earth are you using that term to describe the 7 million Jewish citizens of Israel?
At least you acknowledge that Americans do have a passionate attachment to Israel, and they should. Americans love freedom, and identify with Israel’s continuing resistance to those would deny them their freedom. But to you they are just “tar babies”.

If we in the US would only drop our passionate attachment to the tar baby that is Israel, we would see our problems with Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries dwindle to near nothing
Put another way, you are saying that if the US stops supporting Israel:
* The Christians and the Muslims of Lebanon would no longer be antagonists to the point of imminent civil war?
* The great Sunni-Shia divide in the Muslim world would magically heal itself?
* Egypt would no longer persecute its Coptic Christian minorities?
* The misogyny in Saudi Arabia would transform into liberation for women?
Please detail for us how this would all work.

America’s foreign policy is in freefall. Why? Because it is being conducted by ignorant ideologues who direct all their efforts toward the overarching goal of the neoconserative dream of America’s supremacist domination of the world.
