I was following George Conway but he deletes any comments that cast shade on Israel. It's one thing to support the country but quite another to SUPPRESS those who don't. Free speech George. It's in the constitution. What are you afraid of?

Israel supporters in Toronto supporting Iranian protests. The brutal regime of the Shah of Iran was friendly to Israel. The regime of the Shah was as bad as the Ayatollahs if not worse.

New York Times article sez Pete Hesgeth is nostalgic for the Crusades. During the Crusades, Christian Crusaders arriving in the Holy Land proceeded to massacre every Jew they found. The Arabs, on the other hand, left the Jews in peace.
