    He doesn't mention the settlements, they never do, it's as though they just sit in their country and noone is building settlements outside their country on other peoples' land. And they left Gaza, that's like saying they left the chicken's cage, but they don't get why the chicken has gone crazy.

    It seems to be a common problem among most mainstream pro-Israel supporters (the ones whose only knowledge of the conflict comes from what they are told at Israel advocacy seminars), they tend to just block out opposing viewpoints to maintain their world view.

    Which is the most common way for a good majority of people to reduce their cognitive dissonance.

    Many of my fellow conservatives listen to Limbaugh regularly....few listen to Maddow. Don't know how you actually learn anything that way, but an endless chorus of "of course you are correct" must be soothing to the ego.

    And then you have this gem, reported from the Jewish Press. Besides the fact that I think its kind of disgusting, if its true in the first place, that people are happy the threatened more violence to get what they want, the whole damn site is a joke. Just check out the disclaimer before the comment section:

    Our comments section is intended for meaningful responses and debates in a civilized manner. We ask that you respect the fact that we are a religious Jewish website and avoid inappropriate language at all cost.

    If you promote any foreign religions, gods or messiahs, lies about Israel, anti-Semitism, or advocate violence (except against terrorists), your permission to comment may be revoked.
