I hate to throw out ad hominem attacks because they really never make any difference, but since I'm guessing an intellectual discussion would be lost on you, I'm just going to say you are an idiot who really doesn't understand what is happening over there, or you're just an anti-Semite who doesn't really understand what is happening over there.
