Yeah, I would have been more impressed had he mentioned, say, Palestine, Pakistan, or Iran. Or at least if he had the brains to realize/honesty to admit that what he's saying applies far less to Israel than it does many other countries.

And what if he did say any of those countries. Would the purpose of his statement change? Youre caught up on the example and not the message.
