    Back atcha

    How's that glass house you live in?

    Your mealy-mouthed pro-Hamas arguments are not even worth discussing. But hey, maybe all of the brainwashed pro-Hamas defenders that reflexively belch up the usual talking point tripe really believe the half-truths and one-sided arguments they are making. Too bad. It's your problem not mine.

    Because using loaded terms like "fertilizer rocket", "open air jail", accusing the other side of bad faith without addressing anything they say, and inventing arguments for your opponent is sooooo completely original.

    Maybe you should take some of your own advice and get over yourself.
