re: #207 BigPapa

Israel is definitely the Third Rail of US politics. Uber polarizing.

Most of us are talking about the real state of Israel, but we have a large faction that is talking about the idealized vision of Israel, which Nethanyahu has come to represent.

This idealized nation has little to do with the state of Israel as it exists, or its people, it is merely a means to an end: namely fulfilling Biblical prophecy, precipitating Armageddon and bringing on the onset of the End Times and the Second Coming.

I know it sounds totally whacked, but that is what it is about to these people.
