48. I was not clear - let me clarify
I was not accusing you of saying that it is disgusting that someone should agree with Obama on issues.

I was expressing surprise that a view of Obama's (that I shared) would be considered disgusting.

There is a difference between disagreeing with Obama on an issue and finding his position on an issue to be disgusting.

The strong antipathy towards his (and my) position on this issue is what I found to be surprising.

Generally when someone expresses that they feel a position held by Obama is "disgusting" over in GD or GDP, they are pretty roundly given the business.

To your other point, I do think rhetoric from Israeli politicians is often dangerous as well. Hopefully politicians who make those sorts of comments will be marginalized in Israel and leaders with more reasonable positions will be elected. I would wish the same for the leadership of Hezbollah and Iran as well.
