23. It is not all that uncommon.

I really don't expect any less especially when some people can't even manage the simple definition of the word, anti-Semitism, compare Israel to Nazi Germany, or make veiled remarks America is already Israeli occupied because of the large number of Jews here. So given more serious, and usually hate-filled, remarks in regards to Israel, not knowing the size of Israel is really small potatoes.

What is just as "funny" is how an anti-Semitic remark morphs into a thread bashing Israel.
