31. Insults are a poor substitute

for rebuttals. I assume you either don't know that or don't care. I'm also assuming you either don't know what has been going on over there since 1948, don't care, or believe a lot of nonsense about it. Israeli Jews murder Palestinians almost daily and no one much gives a shit and hardly anyone hears about it, but when Palestinians kill Jews the world is treated to a propaganda chorus of wailing, gnashing of teeth and pious rationalizations for disproportionate reprisals. That is pathetic.
