#1 To put it into a proper perspective---suppose an Palestinian-American academic got 12 years in Israel for, say, transporting money to Hamas?

#2 The impotence of the Obama and Clinton team is too embarrassing to be reported as news. Well, other than on real reporting sites :-)

Makes a weird sort of sense, if one supposes that suicide bombings are equivalent to protesting an election.

Must be a Russian-thing.

#5 You're right. Let me see if I can keep it more clear and concise.

A more apt comparison by you wouldve used an Israeli American. Let's try 'Jonathan Pollard'.

Whoops! Wrong target audience for the comparison.

Hold on, I'll think of one...
