Hi,

I am aware of all your points.

See US used Saddam against Iran and then when Saddam turned against American interests , he became an enemy of the US.

Same thing should be applied to Bin Laden. Bin Laden was used by US once against the Soviets and then he became enemy of the US since 9/11.

What I condemn though are US-imposed UN sanctions which killed so many innocent Iraqi children during 1991-2003 period.

How can you support killing of innocent children through sanctions , I think that makes you a pervert.

"you need to realize that Israel was also against American invasion of Iraq in 2003."

My Answer >>>>> I quote my fellow friend in this forum "Dhimmi No More". "
"If you make a claim , you need to come up with proof".

Show me the proof that Israel opposed the Iraq war.

"like calling Israel an apartheid state, when about 20% of Israel's population are Arab Muslims enjoying all citizens' rights and better standard of living than in most Arab countries."

My Answer >>>>> Israel supports democracy only to serve it's interests. Come on tell me if Israel is so much of a paradise for Arab Muslims then why all the Arab Muslims are saying that they are treated as second-class citizens. Do you know these names like Azmi Bishara or Bassam Tibbi ?

Even hardcore Zionists like Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert are saying that Israel is becoming an apartheid state. Do you mean they are also "anti-Semitic" ?
