And we don't view these reportings as you do, which is accurate and full revelations of war crimes and outrages committed by these forces.

He expects and will accept nothing less than perfection from free, democratic, western-style societies such the U.S. and Israel, while at the same time giving free pass after free pass to dysfunctional, death-cultish and oppressive groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
