Re "But the resident ME fanaticals here in aatisket ..... besides their beloved ME which for some reason they left because yes it must be a s**t hole"
Believe me if I had the power within me to get every Western soldier out of the Middle East and forget about it, I'd do it immediately. You could sit here and trade insults with whoever is left interested in what remained.
If I didn't see or hear from another war mongering Zionist in America for the next 50 years it would still be too soon for me.
I'd love for the West to have the opportunity to ignore Israel, but every time you think it might stop, there they are .. AIPAC. ADL in congress pushing for yet more effort on behalf of Israel .... $38 billion and counting.
