I assume this is directed at me, but I can't recall ever offering any sort of support for actions like this.
Comrade, you are free to think what you wish of my views, but I think in the interest of fairness, you should constrain yourself to arguing against the views I actually express, no make inferences as to what you think my "real views" are.
Leninology started to do this when he suggest I was an Anti-German, but backed away when I said that is not true.
I don't think I have made a supportive statement of Israel's current action on this list, and the one statement I made concerning it, was about the irrelevancy of much protest against it, since Israel is a well-armed state that does what it think it must (though I think there is much room for doubt in this particular case, since it seems to me Israel is destroying the one somewhat progressive and democratic society in the region beside itself).
This sort of attributing views to people is a very bad way of discussing. In the context of an actual emancipatory political project, it would be unacceptable.
