The attack on the USS Liberty, intentional or not, was certainly annoying.

Israel doesn't annoy me.

I support Israel. I support Israel's right to defend itself from the corrupt despotic neighbors in the region that seek to destroy her.

What annoys me:

Syria
Egypt
Jordan
Lebanon
Libya,
Sudan
Saudi Arabia
Yemen
Iran

and Hamas, Al Qaeda, and Hezbollah

Oh please! Israel is an exceptionally POTENT military & intelligence gathering force unto itself. Do not be deceived by her size, or the veracity of her enemies. This is real world, dear. Not a video game. Not a reality tv show designed to make you feel superior about yourself.

That said, do continue on smacking yourself in the head.

What basis do they have to annoy anyone when they've made careers of oppressing their own people with hate on everyone else narratives? They're not fit for western civilization, don't extend our technology to them in open markets, and don't welcome them in. Problem solved when we solve our own porches. Globalization is not kumbaya. It's globalized mayhem and we're all miserable with this untenable wild wild west/ pirate atmosphere.

Let's take the advice we're meting out to Israel and protect ourselves as well.

What a laugh!

Most of that list is on your side. I'm talking about Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Al Qaeda. All your allies, mostly directly with a few indirectly.

Syria, Iran, Hizballah, and Hamas are the only ones fighting/resisting Israel. The others are all bought by Israel and America, or all-talk, no action.

There's no Israeli ethnicity. The State was created in 1948. Not like an ethnicity popped up then too. They all look different, because they're all from different countries. You can't look Israeli.

Respond with something intelligent or don't respond at all.
