[b] That is about the extent to which I can empathize with your situation or address a "double standard" because truly, for the life of me I cannot remember your post nor can I remember what I said in response. I would really be in a pretty tough position trying to argue a point, either way, the text of which I cannot remember.

My original post read as follows:
Originally posted by debo_nair:
Israel has the right to withdraw her ambassador from Sweden in protest but the rat doesn't have the right to destroy the art in Sweden.
debo_nair used a harsh word: "Rat".
He used no such word to describe the mass murderess.
He used no such word to describe the artist who honored her.
He used no such word to describe the Swedes who allowed the exhibition.
Only one person warranted such a denunciation from debo_nair: the Israeli diplomat.
A few months ago Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh was murdered while shopping. Ms. Lindh was not particularly loved in Israel as she was one of its harshest European critics. If an Israeli museum were to put up an exhibit honoring her assassin, I wonder if debo_nair might use his harsh words a bit differently.
