don't like being addressed by my last name like that. You're being rude because you think I disagree with you. I didn't anything about whether I condone the actions of the Israeli government. Of course, I have much more criticism for the US government because I live here. All I said is that I'd rather live in Israel than elsewhere in the Middle East. There's no need to get mean or hostile. You are obviously coming up with your opinions from the vantage point of an outsider. You are arguing in the abstract. You have no direct experience on the matter in question.

When I attended Syracuse University, I used to have a little dog that I took everywhere with me. People always engaged me in conversation about how cute my dog was. One day I was walking with Tulip on Marshall St. and an Arab man asked me about my dog. While I was chit-chatting with him, a big Arab women rushed in, accused me of sleeping with this man and then proceeded to assault me and then she ripped my shirt off right there in the street! I became the victim of open, misdirected hostility from people with a different "moral" code, one that precludes civility apparently. My poor dog was terrified- torn between her instinct to bolt and stay loyal to me at the same time.

Don't attack me just because you're arrogant, ignorant know-it-alls who don't know half as much as you think you do.
