I never said threats do not exist. I said your statement about the survival of Israel are ridiculously hyperbolic. Enough to make you look like a nut. And I stand by that assertion. You're just a Cheney wannabe. "That's like saying that there would have been no use for anybody to have heard of Osama bin Laden before Sept 11, 2001." No it isn't. Why don't you address what I actually say instead of making up paper tigers to defeat?
