I don't think it's a pro-Israel thing as much as it is a "blind supporter" thing. There's been some recent research showing people tend to only go to sites and seek out news told from their preferred political perspective.


Yes. And manipulative evil people can twist any belief system - political, religious, philosophical - to justify their own actions and solicit support for their way of thinking.

Word.

(Although to add, "My best friend is Muslim" is not a good enough reason to spout idiocy either.)
Certainly not, but I love when people claim that ALL people in a group are a certain way when they don't know anyone in that group. You don't have to be best friends with a person of the Islamic faith to know that they aren't all extremists. Maybe if they did get past the different clothes, they'd figure out that they're people just like the rest of us, just trying to make a life for their families.
