    If any other Middle Eastern country had done a TENTH of what the Israeli government has done and continues to do, the US would have invaded long ago.

    I’m not saying they ever SHOULD, mind you, just pointing out the immense hypocrisy on top of the enabling of genocide.

        Ok, true. Any Middle Eastern country that isn’t Israel, Saudi Arabia, or possibly Pakistan (though that might have changed with the withdrawal from Afghanistan and I’m not sure Central Asia counts as part of the middle east, come to think of it…).

        NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms… Oh damn!
