I have lived in Israel, some years ago. This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie. During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.

I sift through a lot of their crap every day, and I know I am accurately representing their attitudes. Their mendacious drivel does not deserve any more, in my opinion. Still, if someone I respect, like Doctor Biobrain, feels I went over the line in this case, I'm willing to take him seriously.
