I knew it had to happen
Finally, someone has really gotten pissed off at my post about Israel and its right to exist. She says "I consider myself a Palestinian-American", and to go much beyone that pretty much gives you an idea of where she is coming from.
Anyway, please read her rant, she deserves her time to speak, also.
I don't consider myself a close-minded person, but she is certainly free to think that of me.
The few errors I made in my original post were correct by my husband in the comments. The rest of the post is historically accurate.
You said you have been in the US for 15 years - I assume you are a citizen now?
If so, please consider yourself American rather than a hyphenated American.
Let Jordan give "Palestinians" a homeland. Or Syria, or Lebanon.
I have also met Muslims that were not hell bent on destroying Israel, and who genuinely love the United States and become good citizens. They are few and far between, though.
I never stated that all Muslims were evil, only those Muslims who want to destroy Israel.
I don't have time to defend myself any further at the moment, as I have to go to work,
The Patriette left a comment after Dina did, please feel free to read that. I'll leave comments open on that post until I leave for England, then I'll turn all comments off as I'll have no way to moderate them.
Oh, and as an example of kind wonderful Muslims in the Middle East - read this - about a Hammas family's act of kindness towards an Israeli soldier.
Update: Dina says she does not want Israel to be non-existent, that puts her in the good guy column.

Let me just say that the USA will NEVER be ruled by that bullshit Sharia "law." If that broad wants to live under Sharia rule she can move to another country. This is MY country and the rule of Sharia doesn't apply here. Love it or leave it.

Yes, I highly suggest that whoever reads this also refers back to the original post, as I explain in more detail where I am coming from and defend why I said what I said. If you want to comment on my views, please read everything I've posted thus far. Thanks.
