    Apology

    Glenn and readers, I apologize for using that kind of tone in my writing. I am being hypocritical and will try to live up to my own beliefs better in the future.

    What are your beliefs?

    A quick read of your previous posts seems to indicate a rather biased view of this Blog's owner, his readership, and of Israel's current (and past) despicable actions relative to the Palestinians.

    Do you support the legitimate government of the occupied territories right to govern?

    Do you support the stated goal of Israel to overthrow the legitimate, duly elected government of Gaza?

    Do you believe Israel's claim that their strikes are made using only "precision guided" weapons when it appears that most of the IDF's casualties are "blue on blue" in nature?

    Do you really believe that if Glenn Greenwald said the sun came up in the west that "his followers" would agree with him?
