Iraq dominated the headlines throughout the fall of 2002 and into the winter of 2003. Public opinion on the wisdom of war, however, stabilized relatively early and slightly in favor of war. Gallup found that from August 2002 through early March 2003 the share of Americans favoring war hovered in a relatively narrow range between a low of 52 percent and a high of 59 percent. By contrast, the share of the public opposed to war fluctuated between 35 percent and 43 percent.

Looks like Americans are even more happy with murdering people if its done by a puppet.

I got the same thing. I was talking about how Israel has historically treated Palestinians and was asked if I was a Holocaust denier.

They couldn't comprehend how I thought Israel was capable of doing those things when the Jewish people were victims themselves not too long ago.

I don't get the logic.

Logic is pretty simple projection really.

You’re describing to them the genocide of the Palestinian people. On some level at least they must understand that they’re the genocide deniers here. But that can’t be so, they’re the main character! So clearly you’re the one denying genocide. QED
