They’ve done most of what you think they’ve done, and hundreds of things you never caught them doing. All other teams either have done or would do the same if they could have positioned themselves to benefit from that level of dodgy behavior.

Lucky, or good?

Many of the posts in response to this article are also amazing examples of why we still need the Second Amendment.

Ever lived in a bad neighborhood in the United States among people with no respect for human lives, including their own?

...or, you know, 200 tons of spare Belgian uranium, in violation of EURATOM and all known international nuclear treaties.

Oh, our American Christian apocalypticist “friends” scare the daylights out of even some of the Israelis, which is actually pretty hard to do. A young Israeli friend of mine, made in an era of childhood before adult politics drove us apart, once described to me in absolute horror the way they thought, realizing fully…

Oh, I’m no stranger to the notion that most religions are less peaceful than they like to think they are, and that includes many variants of historical Judaism, including the time of the Zealots that you mentioned.

Sorry - wrong link - that was only one particular example.

You and others might be surprised by the amount of the U.S. map that has adopted some form of formal government measure intended to either criminalize the boycott or criticism of Israel, or simply effectively sanction all state businesses from ever having dealings or employment of an individual who has boycotted or…

And Liat castigates Ziva for not keeping Eli safe because she believes Israeli security procedures would have prevented this - to which Ziva bitterly responds, “Oh yes, because there is never any violence in Israel!!!!”

Seriously. Where is the line?

The African-American colonists who returned to Africa were undeniable brutal and cruel to the locals who they subjugated into plantation-style servitude, but the ruling class was (and to some extent still is) nevertheless black.

Sophie, I am not going to tell you again - stop deleting my posts about the “five dancing Israelis” caught filming the 9/11 attacks and cheering. 

You are aware that Israel’s neighbors largely want to wipe it off the map in response to one of the largest acts of ethnic cleansing of the 20th century, I hope?

That is not actually the way it works, and that is because Israel already has several oil and gas mining companies that collude heavily with the United States’ most powerful and corrupt institutions and high-ranking Executive personnel (such as Dick Cheney) to drill for oil and natural gas in captured territory in the…

Not a *single* star.  Rethinking your position yet?

Hey, one more question while we’re on the subject:
