(58,724 posts)So already with number one, you seem to be at least acknowledging that this does not represent a way that Israel is just like Saudi Arabia.
With number two, you are just wrong.
TEL AVIV, May 15, 1948 (UP) -- The battle for Palestine was on today with troops from Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq converging against the Jewish defenders of the new state of Israel.
Arab planes bombed Tel Aviv three times and one Egyptian pilot was taken prisoner when his plane was forced down just north of the new Jewish capital.
The Egyptian government in Cairo announced officially that Egyptian planes raided the newborn state of Israel in the forefront of an Arab attack from all sides, including one raid on a Jewish airdrome outside Tel Aviv.

3. The headline of the article, again, is "10 Ways Israel is Just Like Saudi Arabia"
4. That's what I meant by "being cute".
5. OK
6. That's one way to look at it.
7. Israeli physicians treat injured people. Even those who attempt suicide attacks against Israeli civilians. That doesn't mean they are supporting suicide attacks. It's preposterous to say Israel is supporting Al-Nusra (though I certainly understand why certain folks try to spread this idea).
And, of course, you know that when Israel supported Hamas they were a charitable religious organization that had not yet embraced terrorism, while the PLO, on the other hand, was hijacking planes and killing Israeli athletes for decades. Each group evolved in different directions, and Israel responded accordingly.
8. What is the title of her article again?
9. True, not every country. A bunch do.
10. Yes, and the US has a whole lot of allies.
I bet I could make a list of "10 Ways Bernie Sanders is Just Like Donald Trump" in the same BS way that Medea created this list, which isn't a list at all but just anti-Israel propaganda (as the above would be just anti-Bernie Sanders propaganda).
This thing is a BS game that Medea is playing. Israel is not just like Saudi Arabia. Every rational person knows this.
