re: #737 Occasional Reader

Um… your “point” is both true, and irrelevant.

Hey, if Ben Hur confirms that he applauds the assassination of Rabin, I’ll reverse my downding of you, apologize, and direct my fire at Ben Hur. But I’m really not expecting to have to do that, to put it mildly.

Absolutely not.

Added for context.

Friedman is misleading his readers about the mood of the country and why.

He conveniently doesn’t mention the terror campaign that Arafat brought with him in ‘94.

Arafat and I made aliya around the same time.

I was witness to all of it, including bombs that blew shit off my apt walls.

You can’t mention the “atmosphere” in Israel from Madrid to Olso to Rabin’s murder without mentioning terrorism.
