  ummmm...Win..

  I know, this makes me a crazy Zionist, what with my acknowledgments of Israel's right to exist, right to respond to mortar fire, and the fact that anti-Semitism still exists in this world. I'm crazzzy!

  But since some on this board are calling Glenn out for having the temerity to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, it's clear that loons are not in short supply.

  The way you pick and dig--then anyone else who offers an opposing view is "a loon"-is EXACTLY the myopic beergoogled "Isreal-is-always-right" tribalism GG is addressing..

  Would advise sobering up..and looking through a larger lens there...like say....the world lens...

  I know it's comforting to try to hold onto the familiar...to try to convey the world in the constructs of one's own black/white ideology..

  It's also naive, immature, tribalistic, bigotted, sterotypical..

  You see what you want to see, pick out parts that you want to..without looking at the bigger pictures..

  iow..you take things out of context..to bend it to whatever construct your mind has created...

  Just like the way you look through teh lens of this incursion into Gaza through your own eyes--over that of the Palestinaians or the rest of the world.

  It's shortsighted, myopic, opportunistic, narrowminded..to think that ONE viewpoint over those of many have a lock on reality..

  One would think you would begin to see your own emotional blinders for what they are:

  bigotry & elitism.
