[Behind the Aegis]

There have been plenty of crime stories here in LBN. As "clearly wrong and despicable" as you think the actions of these people were, should we 'play ostrich' and hide our heads?

As tired as you are of hearing that Arabs/Muslims are barbarians, I am just as tired as hearing that all Jews are more loyal to Israel (no matter their country of origin) and nothing good came come from Israel or her people! I am sick of the 'leftist' attitudes of "Israel is the root of all evil in the ME!"

So, I agree, we shouldn't be so haughty, especially if we look at the lawlessness of the Arab/Muslim nations. Times have changed. Have the Arab nations changed with them?

The US and Israel have a long way to go, but to pretend that the Arab nations don't is foolish and bigoted.

Speaking of being "tired," I am tired of every fucking Jewish politician have to doubly swear they are a citizen of the US and not Israel. I am just as fucking sick and tired as seeing all Jews painted as war-mongers or 'right-wingers' because we support an independent Israel! OH...and don't get me started on how "Israel is responsible for 9-11 and the bombings in London!"

So, this story was about "honor-killing," not I/P! Yet, you conflated the two because of the location! Perhaps the real problem was Israel nor the US is to blame?
