NQ: "What do you mean by "a criminal state"?"

Well, a case can certainly be made that Israel is acting against Int`l Law by attempting to acquire territory (Golan, WB settlement) that it siezed by force of arms.

But I suspect he might be referring to Israel`s frequent resort to arms as a means of imposing its political will upon its neighbours which is, of course, illegal under Int`l Law.

NQ: "Who is in a state of war since the founding of Israel?"

Why, that would be Israel, who maintained martial law inside Israel between 1949 and 1966.

NQ: "who threatens to destroy it?"

What, you`re afraid of Hamas?

I thought Israel just showed those guys Who Is The Boss....

NQ: "It is you who complains when the murderer is stymied, apprehended, and punished"

No, I think most of Israel`s detractors complain about all the collateral damage that it so routinely - and so casually - inflicts.....
