I think so.
And Thorin is Pat Buchanan's brother or something.
Talking to him (or Pat) is like talking with a brick wall and usually not worth it unless you are in it for laughs.
I just suspect, and of course cannot prove, that when criticizing of Israel is constant and incessant, that it is cloaking a real sentiment of anti-Jewishness. Even if that is not the case, why would anyone deny Israel the right to defend itself against terrorists? I just don’t buy into this nonsense of the Palestinians (and Moslems in general) being the victims of anything but their own foolish hatred and inferiority complex with the West. Maybe if they rejected barbarism their lot could be improved. I have no problem cutting aid to Israel, but we better terminated aid to North Korea and Egypt first.
