Tell me, is this hogwash, straight from the Yitzhak Rabin Center for Israel
Studies?:

Didn't I addressed that off-line with you? If not, obviously I reject those
resolutions because they were made in haste and were not accepted by all
parties (and look at the result of hasty decisions). I think things could
have worked out better if the U.N. approached the matter more carefully and
considered the long term repercussions of creating the states of Israel and
Palestine. The whole region was hoodwinked by the Europeans, who sort of
threw a match in the house and took off running. Africa is much the same way
after colonialism and imperialism.

Filthy, racist Zionist scum, yet a loyal ally of course...America has had
lots of "loyal allies."

Wasn't Khaddafi's adopted daughter killed in that attack?

Yep.

A good bedtime story at best...

Nor the brutal yoke of Israel, supported by America. That's a historical
fact as well.
