I almost didn't graduate from the Ohio public school system. But, that had more to do with boredom, weed and girls than anything else.

In no particular order.

And if any politician or newsman in the USA had the nerve to even intimate what you said, they'd be run out of town on a rail. Interestingly, one is free to have and express such sentiments in Israel, but not here.

Embarrassing.

Not a SHRED of actual ability to reason (from you)...

I've got all I need when it comes to you, since there's not a shred of anything but being a pompous asswipe (from you)...

You just don't get it...do you. It's my utter privilege to express the opinions I have based on the experience I have. Opinion based on personal experience is all anybody, including you has. If you don't like the exercise of expressing the privilege of one's opinion...WTF are you doing here?

Couldn't disagree more, but you're entitled to your opinion.

Right up until Zeke decides he isn't.

How do extremist atrocities on one group give anyone a free pass to do anything they want without burden of accountability for the unethical injustice of their actions and policies?
And how is holding Israel accountable antisemitism, or the Palestinians and their sympathetic supporters likewise accountable Zionist advocacy?

If an occupying force is justified in annihilating resistance within a walled-off ghetto (which Gaza certainly is by any definition), I suppose folks who support Israel's current action should also endorse Nazi actions in putting down the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (Germans suffered 110 dead while ghetto occupants suffered 13,000 dead). The ratio isn't that far off the Israeli vs. Palestinian body counts in the current Gaza conflict. You can't have it both ways.
