The US isn't facing an enemy dedicated to killing every last American man, woman, or child. No rockets, suicide bombers, knife attacks or car rammings against innocent civilians. When the US faces that, let me know.

Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with what the the undercover Israeli agents did. What did they do wrong in your view?

Before you answer that, I want you to acknowledge the report you cited is false. If you cannot do that, it goes to show where you're really coming from.
