When I was a kid growing-up in Jew-hating Marblehead, MA, I was the target of bullies yelling, “Get the kike!” My dad counseled me to never back down but to fight. I did and the bullies melted away. Bolton sounds like my dad.

Good for you. I just can't wrap my mind around why Jews are and have been hated so much since historical times. I've watched the Israel/pali conflict since the late 80's, and still don't get why Israel is the bad guy to this day. They weren't bombing pali cafes, market places, weddings, etc. weekly.

Israel only counter-attacks when the hateful, non-productive, whiny, so-called palestinians lob their rockets at peaceful Israel.

BTW, unless my memory is fading in my old age, there is no such thing as "palestinian". When Britain gave up the territory, the UN created Trans-Jordan, and was then divided into 3 territories - Jordan, Israel, Palestine. Since most of the arabs were from Jordan and Egypt (with some nomadic tribes) and gathered in Palestine, that's how they made up Palestinian. They have never had a nation, a historical region, no government, nor a different ethnicity from other arabs,

Am I correct in the above?
