Why not if the opponents are unable to fight back. It's like shooting fish in a barrel or is it going hunting with an AK-47 equipped with telescopic sight?

On the other hand, if you're referring to disrespect towards you, I agree that's not good or desirable. But you're the one who has thrown the broad-brush insults at me, so you hear from me.
You can see my edit above if you actually give a shit. When it comes to your silence on a member referring to Jews a nazis, unless and until you can show me where you took issue with it, in which case I owe you an apology, you are getting exactly the respect you deserve from me.

And please...let's not have any "oh...I missed that" BS. I referred to it at least three more times and found utter silence from you or anybody else. Everybody saw it...nobody gives a flying fuck.

If Israel does not care why does it employ so many people to provide pro Israeli views on the internet and hammer anyone in the media who shows a little sympathy to the Palestinians.

You're talking about the government that does what it does to get what it needs. I'm talking about the people.

A significant one.
Israelis still love and exploit the underdog narrative.

I have no clue what you're talking about. So if you would like a response from me I'll need you to use some words I can understand that will allow me to get your point and make an appropriate reply. Thanks.

Islamic terrorists have been very good at using the 'net to their advantage and the plight of the Palestinians even more so. The Israelis HAVE to do it.
