...but what happened over on the zttp board that caused your exclusion

In a nutshell it is forbidden on Zeev's board to make any comparison of Israel or the US to the Nazis.

If you criticize Zionism, that's close enough, since apparently they speak for all of us... it's the same old BS. Any criticism of Israel is anti-semitism. I guess Zeev's a little old and set in his ways for anyone to hope for him to grow up.

So you can read on that board that it's OK to push 3/4 of a million people out of their homes and into the desert and just move in yourself. It's OK to start wars (no wait, the other guys started all of them... just as David Ben Gurion said they would have to) and expand your territory in direct contravention of international law. It's OK to cluster bomb villages if the inhabitants don't support you. It's OK to build a wall around 1.5 million people and not let money, food or water in... unless you get to pick their government. It's OK to bomb hospitals, bridges, power plants and sewage treatment facilities in the heat of summer, in the world's most densely settled piece of ground if you lose a soldier there.

What's not OK, is to suggest that any of the above resembles Nazi behavior... 'cuz that's just anti-semitism. Well it does resemble Nazi behavior. Moreover, from the beginning, Ariel Sharon was as ruthless a thug as any that ever served in the Waffen SS and if we can't allow that into the public discourse, then we're as guilty as the last population that condoned it.

And lastly, I did get a little hot under the collar with Zeev's neocons and it may have caused me to break Zeev's cardinal rule... (the one about not comparing US or Israeli policy to Naziism again supposing that any criticism of the extreme right-wing in either nation is criticism of Jews or Americans as a whole) And one of Zeev's "heros" went complaining that I was being unseemly and shouldn't be allowed on his board.
