If you voice a opinion regarding anything, expect to get a good amount of criticism for your troubles.

Basically because Israel has been the main target by so many terrorists from the PLO to Hamas to Hezbollah, and others that not standing on Israel's side in the fight means you stand with the ones on the other side. Things are often more black and white than people want to accept. You cannot always make things a blurry gray area when they are pretty cut and dry.

Israel is small. I'm neutral.

TThis should help you: http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1616455 I criticise Israel, yet nobody has ever accused me of being a "terrorist apologist", that is because I repeatedly condemn terrorism. If you are a terrorist apologist, then you should be labelled as such. --------- Update: The subject of this question is the thread I have linked to above.

I have criticized Israel at times, and haven't been called a terrorist apologist. If YOU have experienced this, it is up to you to figure out why this has happened, and more importantly, why you care. Once again, you are your letting your 'AB enemies' opinions of you define you by acknowledging them. If you know that you re not a terrorist apologist, that should be enough for you. Your opinions are strong ones, so be strong yourself and ignore the name-calling and taunting.
