The extremists claim that all Americans ands Israelis are fair targets because we/they support the actions of the gov't's through taxes, then bitch when their"supposed " innocent civilians are injured or killed. Now I want to know how we are guilty of supporting the war efforts because we pay taxes, but their civilians, who provide food, hiding places, and security, aren't guilty of supporting their war effort? Now that's a double standard. And as to the Jews have undue influence over western gov't please..that is simply *imo* a fallacy put forth by antisemites and those looking to blame "someone else for their own shortcomings..ie..I don't have a high paying job because of them Jews" when quite frequently it's because the complainer doesn't want to put themselves out to better their lt in life.
