67. I should alert on your insults

but I won't.

Remember: my first question was why you seem to believe that only "Jews" would support Israel.

I have no idea in what world you live in, but it doesn't seem to be real. When Israel brutally attacked Palestinians in Gaza, it was defended and supported by pretty much every mainstream media outlet in the US and Europe, not to mention governments and spokespersons. So, when American studio executives and gossip magazines discuss a boycott of actors who publicly criticized Israel's attack, it would appear that they mirror the general mainstream view in Europe and the US. Follow me?

Your dumb "question" was simply an attempt to deflect from the topic at hand. Fox News uses the same tactics, you probably learned it from them. And if deflection doesn't work, you start with insults. Where on earth, I wonder, could you have learned THAT?

Another question, how many "AMERICAN people" are actually listening to Putin's mouthpiece aka RT? Tarheel_Dem Aug 2014 #111
