In reply to the discussion: Haaretz exclusive: Organizer of Gaza flotilla sought assistance from Assad's office [View all]shira
(30,109 posts)52. So IOW, you'll keep believing the worst about the IDF despite video evidence...
...that turns 'eyewitness' reports on their head.
The same eyewitnesses who had no idea these extreme rightwing Turks on the Marmara were invoking the death of Jews while on the ship...
Now imagine the fun you'd have if your opponents here were constantly denying, dismissing or explaining away clear video evidence of Israeli wrongdoing. You'd think that was hysterical, now wouldn't you? You'd never let your opponents live that down, would you? You're on the opposite end of the joke, Azurnoir.
Stop digging yourself deeper, okay? Well, OTOH, screw that advice. Please keep it up!
