    My dear luckycat,

    The doctor is insane. She will either ignore your point or come up with an equally stupid argument from her crib sheet which needs to be updated.

    HEY! We dropped nukes on Nagasaki and Hiroshima - so how dare we criticize anything???

    HEY! Americans eat meat and meat is murder. You want them to stop killing Palestinians? Well stop eating cows and chickens you hypocrites!!!

    HEY! Antibiotics kill defenseless germs! Stop killing germs and the Israelis will think about stop killing Palestinians, maybe!

    Germs or Palestinians - oh to see the expression on the doctor's face while she ponders that savory morsel.
