Grow up.

see this what you still haven't figured out, which means you're not really thinking about what I've been saying. I'm not interested in a which-side-is-more-bat-shit-crazy-than-the-other argument. I'm arguing against the mentality of either whole sale approval or whole sale view that I see Israel as the devil. The fact that you would even assume that's my perspective means I'm wasting my time.
incidentally, you're right. hagee has absolutely nothing to do with peace loving jews. But he has everything to do with AIPAC.

Again, useful enemies. Hard line iranians pray in gratitude to Allah five times a day that Israel exists. Otherwise they'd have no enemy against which to fashion themselves as the defender of Islam, so that their own oppressed people look over the abuses and love them. Want out of this cycle? Be more of the friend to Palestinians than muslims are. Which wouldn't be that difficult if they really are being intentionally starved and oppressed by sharia governments.
