4. The meaning of "support" for Israel has changed.

Sun Jan 22, 2012, 06:41 PM

Jan 2012

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Once upon a time, it meant recognizing the right of Israel to exist and protecting its people. I was cool with that.

Now, however, it means helping Israel "obliterate its enemies," even if that means assassinating an American President to enshrine a sufficiently pro-preemptive-war, pro-Israel chief executive?

I recognize that the situation is extremely complex and I tend to stay out of those discussions, but in this case...

ummm... no.

Not just no. Hell no!
