How or why some of our fellow FReepers will have a problem with this is beyond me.
That happens because they aren't our fellow FReepers, they are trolls trying to make conservatives look like skinheads.
Whenever I mistakenly read Zero Hedge, even though the articles are somewhat informative, the bulk of the comments are almost uniformly anti-Israel and, unfortunately, anti-Semitic. When I read FR, the articles about Israel likewise are informative but the comments are thoughtful. Even when a comment is critical of some action by Israel, generally the argument is based on a disagreement with policy and does not include anti-Israel or anti-Semitic vitriol. The difference is noticeable and welcomed.
