Montezuma's revenge, huh? Did you just compare the negative feelings stirred up by the enormous loss of Palestinian life with a case of traveler's diarrhea? I guess we pretty much know what you think a Palestinian life is worth.
No, I'm recalling Jimmy Carter's remarks to the President of Mexico. Diplomatically, it does not help.
The man is the son of a holocaust survivor who is speaking to other relatives of holocaust survivors and trying to show them a diplomatic way of looking at the situation that may put all parties involved on the path to a solution. I can't believe you of all people are condemning this guy for speaking very eloquently to his people about a possible solution to their problem.
Like I said, wrong on
substance. You
can be critical of Israel and
not be an anti-Semite, or anti-Jewish (and I hope the ambassador is not anti-Jewish). Those are two different issues.
So if you sit out the civil rights movement and then spit on black people in front of a
white audience you are presidential material, but if you try to get
your own people to see the middle east situation from a Palestinian point of view you should be fired? Pretty incredible J.J. You've really out done yourself on this one.

Sorry you don't understand. As I just pointed out, you, well maybe not you, can disagree with Israel's policies, and still not be anti-Jewish; as pointed out, some Jews disagree. You can agree with Israel's policies, and be anti-Jewish. I would hope that an ambassador of the United States
would understand that.
