Apparently you are right-the number of friends is going down-a 19 year old US student was just stabbed in East Jerusalem by Arabs.  His crime: he got lost and asked for directions.

here is the scar of the knifing victim

My lord, to listen to you the only ones who are victims of violence are poor 19 yr old Jews who are stabbed or worse by bloodthirsty A-rabs. No Arab has ever been assaulted by an Israeli Jew have they?  Come off it, why can you only manage to pay attention to violence against Jews but ignore violence that is inconvenient to yr own prejudices?  Can you answer that directly & honestly?
Violence against any civilian is wrong and immoral. But to ignore violence against Arabs is morally obtuse.

@Richard
“why can you only manage to pay attention to violence against Jews”
Because then there would be no one on this site presenting that opinion-which is probably what you are striving for.
Violence against any civilian is wrong and immoral.
How do you define a civilian? When a suicide bomber packs himself/herself with explosives and nails and blows up an entire bus, is that not a soldier? Direct and honest? Please…Why don’t you send that kid’s parents a copy of this blog page?

Don’t be a fool. You know for a fact that you’re not the only pro-Israel right-wing commenter here. So why act like you’re a Jewish Joan of Arc defending the faith here? If I was striving for no one to represent your position it would easy enough to achieve that. Why do I let you yammer away if that’s my goal? Don’t be such a twit.
But you’re evading the subject. When there is violence by Jews against Arabs why don’t you object to it as I object to violence by Arabs against Jews? Why not? I won’t even wait for yr repy since I’ve given you a chance already & you’ve refused to answer: it’s because of your racist moral myopia, that’s why.
How do you define a civilian? When a suicide bomber packs himself/herself with explosives and nails and blows up an entire bus, is that not a soldier?
Doesn’t take much for you to go off the reservation, does it? I was talking about violence against Israeli and Arab civilians in the form of the type of knife attack you mentioned. I have no idea what point you’re trying to make about suicide bombing & the bomber being a “solider” since it has nothing to do w. what you & I were discussing before. A little more clarity in yr argument would be a good thing so I could both understand & reply to it.
And as I said I’m against any form of attack on civilians whether it be Qassam rockets or suicide bombings. But you right wingers are so behind the times. You talk as if this in 1996 & a suicide bomber is setting off a bomb every week in Israel. Do you have any idea how many suicide bombings there have been in the last few years? I can remember the last one in Aqaba being over a yr ago & it killed one person. And that 15 yr old boy became a bomber from a desire to avenge the Israeli police who’d beaten him to within an inch of his life at the tender age of 12 or 13.
Doesn’t dredging up old propaganda pts that are pretty close to irrelevant to current conditions ever get old for you guys?

Don’t be a fool.
You write in your response about the lack of neutrality in my comments. However, you reply often in a very sharp way-trying to defeat the person and not that person’s argument. However, those who disagree with you are not allowed such privileges! Neutrality?
So why act like you’re a Jewish Joan of Arc
Why do you act like the Jewish Benedict Arnold? He also had his reasons I guess.
defending the faith here?
If I am not for myself, who will be? (Hillel)
Why do I let you yammer away if that’s my goal?
It would be an autobiography and not a blog!
Don’t be such a twit.
I am yammering? Why the jousting?
why don’t you object…
Should I take over your job? The Arabs are trying to jockey for position just as Jews are-they are no saints-why do you present them in this light?
racist moral myopia
I am no more a racist than you are. Why don’t you present the Jewish side? You’ve had years to do so-you have been given plenty of time, Richard.
A little more clarity in yr argument
You know darn well that a suicide bomb is an act of war. Why do you dodge the issue? Furthermore, the aggression of Arabs against Israel is well documented:

Finally, there is Carter’s blithe claim that “an overwhelming majority” of Palestinians want peace. Given repeated polls showing that, for instance, 67% of Palestinians support Hamas’s refusal to recognize Israel, 63% support bombarding Israeli cities with rockets, 57% support suicide bombings against Israeli civilians and 75% favor kidnapping Israeli soldiers, it is hard to know on what Carter bases this optimism.

Nice. Now convince the Arabs of this-not us. There is no Arab Richard Silverstein, or else they’d (militant Muslims) kill him and you know this. That is why I asked if you studied Arab literature-maybe you can “enlighten them” like you do for the rest of us.

But you right wingers are so behind the times.
We are ahead of the times-we are the future.

I can remember the last one in Aqaba being over a yr ago & it killed one person.
Israel Radio early Tuesday named two of the fatalities from the bombing as Haim El-Maliach, 32, and Michael Ben-Sa’adon, 27. The third fatality was identified late Monday as 25-year-old Eilat resident Yisrael Samolia, an immigrant from Peru who worked in the bakery, according to the radio.

And that 15 yr old boy became a bomber from a desire to avenge the Israeli police who’d beaten him to within an inch of his life at the tender age of 12 or 13.
He was 21 and planned it for seven months (below). It was in Eilat, as well. Where do you have evidence that he was beaten as a child? If you were wrong on every fact you provided, why should you be believed regarding this one? Deductive reasoning says no. I can tell you that I myself have had Arab kids throw rocks at me for no reason. They train they at a young age to hate Jews and to use violence against us.
Islamic Jihad had said earlier that the bomber, whom it identified as 21-year-old Gaza Strip resident Mohammed al-Saqsaq, had set out from the West Bank, and reached Eilat via Jordan, after seven months of preparation.

ever get old for you guys?
No, because there is always someone on “our side” willing to defend their side! Your blog is somewhat monochromatic, ironically-always always the “Israel aggressor.” Do the Arabs always seek justice? No way.
