Discussing Israel/Gaza on right-wing talk radio

I had an unexpectedly substantive discussion of the Middle East and the "Islamic threat" on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" last night.

    ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It never ends. Israel used violence to steal land from the people who had been living there for thousands of years. Sounds like how every existing nation on earth began, steal land from weak people and claim it was “destiny” that made you do it.

    Then in a couple of hundred years, start feeling bad and build the weak people a museum or a monument or some shit… it’s the way of the world.

    The one thing that bugs me about this Israel/Pal nonsense is we have to pay for it. Hey Israel, if you want to steal land and toss weak people into reservations, that’s great, just do it on your own dime.

    Now, can get back to discussing why Johnsen didn’t speak out when Bubba effectively “legalized” extraordinary rendition?
