Guess this has joined the long list of things you know SFA about yet feel you have an informed opinion on.
It's odd you say that because this is yet another topic you feel you know about, or at least enough to dismiss what someone else has to say out of hand. You seem to be willing to dive into just about every topic I am. Although with far less topical comments and more personal attacks and flaming.

This may come as a shock to you, but the topic of Israel isn't new, people have been talking about it for some time now. This isn't the first time I've posted about Israel or read other peoples thoughts on the topic or reviewed the facts of the situation.
Unless you engage in willfull ignorance of the topic, you will over time learn about the subject and form opinions.
If you have an intrest in the conflict, the history or the region you will end up informed on Israel. Hell if you care at all about the modern world you will be informed about Israel. Due to the close relation with the USA, the history of Israel is very important to understanding why our world is as it is today.
