Israelis ... Just Plain Stupid Or What?

(though how one wages war on terrorism, which is not a country, but a tactic, is beyond me) We're the US of A; we're supposed to be better than the people we're fighting. And if Israel's government wants to be able to claim the moral high ground, then they'd better be walking on it.

If we really think our system of democracy is valuable and worth exporting, then we need to prove it through our actions. Holding people illegally does not help our argument.

Your a nice lady ... but with a big flaw ...

... you continue to accept at face value every nonsensical assertion made by hatemongering propagandists.

Ask yourself this ... what do you actually know about this case? What real, solid information ... from reliable sources ... do you have? You don't really know exactly what happened and/or why Israel did what they did ... do you?

Be a little more skeptical and perspicacious ... there are lots of not-nice folks out there trying to manipulate you ... and you're making it a bit too easy for them.
