    Most terrorists have sleeper cells
    And some have fake accounts on basketball bulletin boards

    Syria was tricky because if we didn't engineer the civil war, we at least helped catalyze it and tried to take down Assad.

    If it weren't for Russia's involvement that held the chance of Americans and Russians dying by each other's hands, I'm pretty sure we'd send far more hardware and support.

    Obama didn't want a proxy war and he paid for his Red Line speech because of Putin's correct bet.

    I really don’t understand the religious side of anti-Semitism. Do I celebrate Hanukkah? No. But do I care when I see a menorah next to a Christmas tree? No. Let people worship how they want.

    Want to see online people flare up with their masked anti-Semitism? Tell them that you support circumcision and that Jews have been doing it for millennia.

    This is all justified and Palestinians are not allowed to retaliate and protect their property, according to @AroundTheWorld @basso @right1 @Major

    Good piece showing how Gazans are not supportive of Hamas

    It is according to the agreements signed. Palestinian police can not arrest or take action against Israelis. The same is not true for Israeli forces against Palestinians. Israel's own enforcement against their settlers has been minimal to non-existent.

    Of course the majority of people living in Gaza do not support Hamas. While almost everyone in Gaza is anti-Israel and occupation - that does not mean that they are happy having a literal gang occupy where they live and profit at their expense. I am sure that they also do not like the fact that Israel has supported Hamas and allowed money from Qatar to come in so that Hamas stays in power.

    Gaza and the Westbank are some of the worst places in the world to live - that is in part because of Israel, in part because of Hamas, in part because of the Arab neighbors and in part because of the Palestinians.

    While the Arab Muslims claim that they are innocent - and the Zionist Jews claim they are innocent - the reality is that both sides have blood on their hands and as soon as I hear someone claim innocence I know they are biased.

    Weird that you still can't answer a very basic question but then think it makes sense to pretend to speak for others.

    Speaking of very basic questions, why do you justify Israel's illegal occupation?

    Can you point to where I have justified any occupation?

    I asked you a basic question, i'd like to have an answer, not a question.

    You're asking to me to justify why I did something I never did - that is not a basic question That is an impossible question to answer because your premise fails. It would be like me asking you why you flew to the moon yesterday?

    If you would have asked me if i fly to the moon yesterday, i'd simply answer with "No, i did not."

    You on the other hand can't simply answer with "No, i do not justify Israel's illegal occupation." or "No, there's no Israel's illegal occupation." Because you very well know that both statements are not true.

    I have a problem with any religion having their own state. I have big problems with people calling the US a Christian country. Religion and government shouldn't be mixed other than government protecting freedom of thought/speech including religion.
