I don't 'love Israel'. I support any and all allies of the US who will show up when shit goes down. I don't dislike it when you call out 'faults', I call out questionable statements that may be incorrect or may be misleading. I skip over a pile of posts because they may be true or I can't prove otherwise. And some are just making a joke. I don't feel it is a bullshit war. The left calls it a talking point, but they have been poking the hornets nest for 47 years, always either getting away with it or getting pallets of cash for their troubles. When someone tells you who they are you listen. Iran has for decades told us who they were and what they wanted. That include killing over 500 Americans and wounding thousands with their IEDs in Iraq. One blew up the vehicle in front of my wife, killing the driver. If anyone wants to discuss this stuff in a polite, respectful manner I can do that in spades. Tossing out the Israel canard with spittle flying is not conducive to that type of discussion. I am always game, but will reply as I am talked to.
