I don't think one has gone by where you have not derailed the discussion by attacking my character and tried to make this a personal issue. In fact most of your talks have been similar to the "When did you last beat your wife?" strategy. Problem is I just ignored the childish attacks and continued on topic.

1.  Gross exaggeration.  Also, you've done most or all of the things he's done.  You started this by calling him a liar, and in his response he called you biased, but also responded to all the points of your post.  Both of you have called each other liars and biased. 

2.  I don't recall any instance of that type of thing; give examples.  IMO either you're completely wrong or misidentifying the behavior.

 

Actually, I don't think he's a liar... I have no doubt in his sincerity (like I said before, I don't personally know they guy, so far be it from me to question the honesty of his character).  But I did call him biased, but I also admit that I am biased as well.  In any given discussion, just about anyone is biased towards one opinion or another.  There's nothing wrong with holding an opinion, and that goes for him as well.  I have no problem with him being a polar opposite with me in beliefs.  But calling me a liar is just silly, because I am just repeating what someone else told me.  Maybe they are lying?  Who knows?  I trust both the Palestinian and Jewish friends that I quoted, so I assume after growing up my entire life with them that they are being honest with me.  Could I be wrong in trusting them?  Absolutely, but as a good friend, I believe them because they've given me no reason not to before.

I also have a Palestinian friend (Abdul, the guy I mentioned before) who detests Israel.  Despite the fact we don't agree on politics has never kept Abdul and I from being close friends.  I've saved his ass more times than I can count, and he's done the same for me more times than he can count. 

But it does make me wonder, does he think Abdul is a liar when he says that Israel is the aggressor nation, and the Palestinians have done no wrong?  Or does he only think that this Muslim is honest because he takes the same position as himself?

What I mean is, just because someone's idea of the truth is the opposite of your own doesn't make that person a liar, it simply makes them a person with a different opinion than yourself... or, maybe that's just my naive view of the world?
