    Hasbara's reign is over!

    I gotta go, or I'll end up divorced, or badly injured.

    But this is amazing! I have never before seen or heard a conversation like this!

    Every time a Hasbarist fires a shot, somebody returns facts, blow for blow.

    Even for stuff which only a few years ago would have been unanswerable! It is very heartening.

    It just might be that people are going to help Israel, even tho Israel will resist any help.

    Goodbye, and thanks to all who responded to any of my comments, thanks to all.
