It's not wrong if the president of the United States dresses you up in a uniform and tells you to do it, or you get to watch it on TV, but it's us, it's red, white, and blue.

It's your country doing it.

You can be as evil as you want.

You can take great satisfaction

It was the same thing for every 15 year old boy at my high school and same thing for the population of Israel.

Our leader says that not only are we doing this, but we have to do this.

So hell yeah.

Otherwise what might happen to us or whatever, you know, people rationalize, justify anything.

So in other words, then if they got a prime minister in there who was not an insane psychopathic murderer, but who wanted to try to figure out how to do the right thing,

they'd probably support him in that too.

Yeah.

These people, he goes, the entire political spectrum in Israel is from Dick Cheney to Hitler.

Wow.

There is no left at all.
