I can see fact checking amongst conservatives is a lost art.
I can being a lazy liberal isn't a lost art. Typical liberal, want everyone else to work for them, and they get the fruits of everyone else's labor. A simple Google search would have found what you wanted; however, since you are liberal, you can't think for yourself. You need the government to do that for you.

In all this brouhaha over the Israeli blockade, have people forgotten that Egypt has a blockade of Gaza in place as well?
Gaza and Egypt share an 8 mile border yet no one decries Egypt's refusal to allow supplies to flow over it's sizeable border.

No they don't do they. Must be something to do with intolerance of the religion and culture of one nation while accepting that of the other, wouldn't you agree? Funny part is that PM Anwar Saddat was assasinated by a member of the Muslim Brotherhood wasn't he? But then, he sought peace between Egypt and Israel.

O gosh this is clearly a lie. Don't you guys know jews control EVERYTHING. Jews control Media school banks and even me. This wasn't self defense it was a zionist conspiracy. I guess you guys believe everything your told. You really beleive muslims were responsible for 9/11? No it was also a zionist conspiracy. The economy right now jews. Why do the knicks suck the last 10 years? You got it right jews.

I clearly remember the uncontrolled, abusive attacks on Israel in this forum at the time of the incident. The massive and baseless reaction of the Israel haters was very ugly. It was the usual knee-jerk attacks without any regard for facts. Multiple threads, hundred if not thousands of posts.
They smelled blood. It was a feeding frenzy. Sharks going in for a kill.

So where are they now? Now that time has passed and light is being shed on the reality of what happened. And from no less than the BBC, a left-leaning entity with a history of anti-Israel bias.

Fact is that the reality was there for all to see even immediately after the incident. Videos showed a ship teeming with Islamic radicals attempting to beat to death the unsuspecting Israelis. They rapelled themselves down into a trap.

The hatemongers will stay away from this thread. There's no blood to attract them, only truth. There's no smell of freshly killed meat, only facts.

Yes, they're lurking on this forum, but only on threads that fit their warped view. Their bias. Their hatred.

And yes, they will come back in droves when they smell blood again. But they'll avoid this thread like the plague.
