1) But Israel's the only democracy in the region (OK, so you don't get a vote if you've been ethnically cleansed).

2) But the Palestinians are all trouble making terrorists, look at the PLO, look at Arafat blah blah blah (OK, ignore membership of the Irgun or Stern Gang among Israeli politicians)

3) You must be a) unpatriotic (You're either for us or against us) and/or b) anti-semitic.

4) The war's going swimmingly, and the general public's still right behind us, and there is no problem with Johnny Foreigner (we'll bomb any who aren't still with us) so there's no need to change the pace at which we're doing this, or the nature of the targeting. Everything's bleedin' peachy!

I don't believe any of the above, by the way, but it is the inevitable response to anyone who states such common sense (even if it is "bleedin' obvious") so I'm just saving the knuckle draggers the bother.

Toodle pip!

7.38 and pi$$ed already? Dearie dearie me.
