But dude was 86, how many people in nursing homes would you trust to run a country?

Probably one in a thousand.

But as one whom the Ayatollah has sworn to eliminate, I can still state that man was sharp and brilliant and extremely well spoken. His worldview was internally consistent. He had vision and experience and knew how to motivate people. He was a one in ten million leader.

I give him that praise and more, even recognising that his stated mission was to exterminate myself and my children.

What does this mean — did you stick him with the bill at all restaurant or something?


Even If you don't recognize the last name you can just click on the user info and make 2 + 2.

He's doing what's called "Hasbara". Regular people call it "lying".

I love this basically pointing out that racists call it "Hasbara" and regular people call it "lying".

Don't agree it applies in this situation, but it's nice to see someone break down regular people don't give a special jewish name to something that already has a common name/definition, and that the common name better communicates the intended concept so the purpose of using the word is to convey something different than basic understanding.


Please quote which part of my comment you feel is a lie.

It's.. an amusing exchange, especially as a response to the actual aknowledgement of the other party - the thing which people there nor have nor want.
