Why do you think Israel is always in the news?

Conversely, I believe that destabilisation is the result of such insularity. No man, or nation is an island.

That depends. National and individual identity doesn't usually equate to isolationism, especially on the world stage. A national destabilization is the result of a culture that has eroded, usually over a time, to internal turmoils or outside influences.

Bad Wolf… if you have anything other than a pathetic attempt at character assassination let's hear it.

He wasn't attacking you. It was a fair question.

Indeed. Identity preservation doesn't have to lead to annihilation. That's what I'm against.

Bad wolf had no argument apart from dismissing an opinion without reason. Nobody claimed expertise. I posted a video of an eloquent dismantling of some pretty horrific opinion broadcast by fox.

Now if bad wolf has any points to counter what has been actually said rather than dismissing the opinion because no qualifications have been cited, then I'm all ears.

I suppose we should likewise dismiss everything Richard Dawkins ever said on religion given his lack of knowledge of the subject?
