    That’s great fiction you’re writing there. Too bad you show no actual understanding of the region. It’s almost as if you get your info from outlets peddling anti-Israel hate, since their governments failed to wipe it and all the people in it off the map repeatedly.

      How did you know?!? I have to admit, my beliefs were really hard to come by. I almost didn’t have them!

      I read Exodus when I was 13 and I believed it. A few years later, a history teacher challenged me to write a research paper over Israel for my IB history class, so in spring of 2002, I had to work so hard to find anti-Israel propaganda. I didn’t really find any in news media, but I went to the school library, and those people are absolute radicals!
      They had books from the 1960’s that discussed Jewish settlers forming militias and attacking “moslem” civilians and burning their family farms. It totally blew my mind that Ben Gurion coordinated terror attacks on British officials in the region, so Britain would withdraw and let the Zionists massacre Palestinians - which they did within weeks of Britain formally withdrawing from Palestine in 1948.
      Finding all those anti-Israel accounts of things they actually did was a lot of work!

      I got an A on that paper, though.

      Where and how did you learn what you know?

        I kept reading on and did more research to get the actual facts of the situation, not just stop at the surface level.

          Yet you’ve offered no comment that wasn’t surface level. When pressed, you fell back on insinuating others were uninformed or intellectually lazy. Claims you failed to substantiate.

          Your comments lack substance. Your positions lack support. You fail to engage intellectually, and the embarrassment you feel at being outclassed is palpable and plainly visible.
          You are naked and shameful.

      Israel has always been the one with the highest body count and the greatest number of ceasefire violations and greatest amount of land stolen.

      Are Israeli newspapers peddling anti Israel hate too? Are they?
