Amir,
A quick glance at my timeline would make one thing abundantly clear: I’ve been consistently critical - not just critical, but downright hostile - toward Hezbollah and Iran’s apocalyptic ideology, strategy, and terror apparatus. ISIS and Al-Qaeda would love nothing more than seeing me a head shorter and six feet under. That’s not up for debate. During the 12-day war, my position was unambiguously pro-Israel. So frankly, I have no idea where you’re getting the idea that I’m somehow antagonistic toward Israel.
