What, is it Lame Zionist Talking Points Day? (Actually, considering the flotilla, I suppose today is as likely a day as any.) And do you imagine that I support America as the kind of racial enclave championed by Israel and its supporters? What do you suppose all those immigration rallies are about? (Not that America's visa system is quite as bad as Israel's absolute and unconditional exclusion of millions of refugees.)

That's debatable, but if there were a more pronounced one, would you advocate herding the Mexicans into bantustans to resolve it? And why on earth would any of us advocate that we reward ethnic cleansing with our support for an ethnically-pure state?
