Bwaaaaahaaahahahahaaaaahhaaaaaaahaaaahaaa!

Seriously, if you think you are “conducting real analysis of the issues” then you are living in lala land. You (and others) hijack every one of these threads and make damn sure no “real analysis” takes place. Instead it becomes a biased (and often racist) cheerleading for Israeli policy, and nothing more.

Let’s not kid ourselves, kid.
