    Rein in Israel?

    The Jews just want to be left the fuck alone. Hasn't changed in thousands of years.

    Except you have some psychotic Muslims who think killing Jews, and "Death to America" is more important than building a successful society. And here you are saying the Jews are responsible for this? That's like saying a girl in a short skirt totally deserved to be raped. Funnily enough that's a similar view that's shared by a lot of Muslims.

    Sorry. The problem never was Israel and if it were, that wouldn't explain global Muslim terrorism. You're looking for a scapegoat in all the wrong placed.

    'Catchall' email addresses once were useful for precisely that purpose. I had slashdot@mydomain.foo set up and could tell where a spammer got my details from or who sold them. I did catch a few people out.

    The problem is, spammers often bruteforce email addresses as well. So accounts@mydomain.foo, management@mydomain.foo, john@mydomain.foo, betty@mydomain.foo would all receive spam.

    Moreover it makes it impossible to close down an account, for example if you decide to change your primary email address etc. Unless you go to the trouble of routing that email address to your trash at a server level.

    I love disposable email addresses but don't think wildcard catch-alls are the answer any more. Another thing that Spammers have ruined.

    Right.

    So when they translate Arab 5 year old children calling for Death to Jews, we shouldn't take that out of context to suggest that the whole Arab world is fucked up?

    Sorry. A society which encourages young children to die, is not deserving of our sympathy.

    Unfortunately, some people's pathological hatred of Jews, and by extension the Jewish state is such that they refuse to even contemplate that Israel just wants to be left the fuck alone by these crazies.

    "Actually they never did. What you heard was the MEMRI 'translation' provided to western media. MEMRI is run by an Israeli."

    Ooooooohhh MEMRI must be a big Zionist conspiracy!

    Except it's just a simple translation which you are welcome to verify. Or was the Vast Zionist Conspiracy also able to convince the speaker to say exactly what he said?

    As for foreign invasions, Iran has bankrolled numerous international terrorist organisations. Just because their tanks didn't roll doesn't mean they aren't hostile.

    But you're too caught up in your conspiracy theories to realise how stupid you sound.

    Actually, much of the American military technology has been developed in Israel.

    Israeli technology keeps American soldiers safe.

    Moreover, the 'gifts' to which you refer had to be spent on American companies. So the Israelis can't go and buy better equipment elsewhere much as they might like.

    The state of Israel is perfectly viable given its massive contribution to global technology, agriculture and health. Have a look at how their GDP went during the GFC.

    I very much doubt I'll change your obviously closed mind on the subject, but you might want to consider instead how much value for money the Americans get sending trillions of dollars into the Arab world. It certainly isn't any Israelis shouting "Death to America"...
