- Israel isn't perfect but is a hell of alot more "civilized" than
- any Arab country when it comes to human rights, etc. Everything
- is relative. I'd like to see how "civilized" a western democracy
- would remain if it had to put up with the shit Israel does from
- its neighbors. Hell, look at British behavior in North Ireland, and
- the "terrorist" there don't even threaten British existance.
