for surely, that is where bibi belongs.
there is ugly on all sides in this. but the fact that israel has been attacked, over and over, since the time of it’s founding, is y my sympathies lie there. if oklahomans were lobbing rockets into texas at the rate that hamas lobs them into israel, ok wd b glass by now.

and the fact that worse atrocities r happening in many, many places, many times perpetrated by radical islamists, but they draw none of the outrage that gaza gets sticks in my craw, bigly.
the part where gays r stoned, and tossed off roofs in gaza, too.

i agree that it will b a happy day when humans evolve past violence. until that day, i support the right of a tiny country to defend itself.

ps. u r my favorite savage.
