    zumalicious

    Don't mind Renegade Iconoclast, he doesn't care about American citizens, alive or dead, he only cares about Israel. When you mention blowback all he can think about are the poor Israelis being shelled by evil terrorists. Never once does it cross his mind that American support for this atrocity could lead to dead Americans in the form of terrorist retaliation. He doesn't care.

    But when they do retaliate, we'll here him and the apologists lusting war for, asking the question, "what did we ever do to them?".
