Listen kid,
I'm here in NYC and nobody is more weary of the flag waving and sabre
rattling than me. And what's more wearisome still is using this situation
to propagate anti-Israeli sentiment among the under educated and
ill-informed. Speaking of which, I'm very curious as to the sources of your
FACTs. There are many ways to spin a piece of info, friend, (but clearly
you already have this talent).
To refer to Israel's policies (of which you seem to know very little) as
"ethnic cleansing," "state terrorism," and "apartheid" (for god's sake!) is
reactionary and rabble rousing in the extreme.
Have you spent any time in the Middle East? Do you know anyone who actually
lives and works there? After the statements made below, I kinda doubt it.
It's foolish to deny the amount of blood on our hands, and as someone who's
always felt disenfranchised by this country, I have no illusions about U.S.
policy. However, this eager (but alas, predictable) surge to beat on Israel
is a real drag and only serves to perpetuate prejudices in already moronic
people.
Also, for god's sake, if you're going to post these idiotic screeds, learn
to write a coherent English sentence and use your spell check program. Your
writing is not only a poor reflection of whatever school system produced you
but in more sensitive circles would be considered a form of terrorism in
and of itself.

p.s. Aren't you the little fucker who was giving John Bennett such a hard
time? Just curious.
