Yes, that's exactly why. I tend not to be at my most polite with anybody who makes excuses for the murder and oppression of innocent people.

Although, actually, I was perfectly polite to you when you weren't in full-on genocide apologia mode. The fact that you can't let it go, even on an article that has nothing to do with Israel, demonstrates that you just got your feelings hurt because you are badly, grotesquely wrong and can't handle it. Sorry, it's only going to get worse as the full horror of what you've been defending comes out.

p.s. AP has been reading my work for years. Nobody needs you to report my work like you're tattling to the teacher. Truly embarrassing.
