The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    Sinnard the hypocrite

    He accuses (much more) thoughtful commenters of spewing talking points and the inability to think for themselves. Repeatedly, ad-nauseum, and without even a hint of irony. He never addresses their arguments, merely asserting that he's heard them all before, and he doesn't have to, and besides, you hate America, so why should he?

    He accuses everyone who shows anything but blood-libel and contempt for the entire nation of Israel of being a traitor who hates Americans. He foams at the mouth speaking of Israel's perceived misdeeds, but when asked what Israel should do, he hypocritically claims not to care at all.

    He has provided no substance to the discussion, preferring instead to demonize his opponents with unwarranted ad-hominem attacks. He is, in other words, a troll.

    Just let him growl from under his bridge and keep walking.
