Fascinating! Thank you for responding. Please know that my interest isnt in perpetuating a cycle of anger or hate, but primarily to see if we can somehow find ways to discuss difficult topics online. Do note, I am not condemning Israel here. I do not want to change your worldview or anything like that, nor am I litigating your lived history. This would be silly and rude. That said, you have stated that there is no chance your position could be changed. Unfortunately expected. So given that your position cant be changed, and I have gotten what I needed, let me help a bit by addressing a few assumptions made - 1) The Haaertz article is inaccessible to me, so I do not have any input from that individual biased against Netanyahu. 2) The second article is from CBC.ca, so I assume is also free of the dismissal causing bias. The quotes are from there.
