You and the Media say that, were you ever actually in person listening to
the leadership of Israel? If you say you were we'll all know you're lying.

Oh, the irony of a sheep who believes every little lie produced by the
liberal media vis a vis Israel calling someone else a liar. There is so
very little truthful media reporting about Israel that practically none of
it can be believed. Those of you to the left of center swallow the lying
propaganda hook line and sinker.

Too bad you don't use this gift of psychic mind reading to make a million
or so in the stock market. You weren't there, you only "know"
what the papers said. (don't bother with the "the Sailors on that ship
were there" crud - they were on the ship, not in the cock pits or the
Knesset)

You and the majority of American media need to learn the difference between
actual reporting and propaganda.

"Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism"
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
". . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are
merely 'anti-Zionist.' And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high
mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God's green earth: When
people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews--this is God's own truth.
Antisemitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been
and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full
agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and
ever will be so..."

Golda Meir once said, "There will never be peace until the
Palestinians love their children more than they hate us."
