And, again, since the people who believe he is mucking about in Israel are
"semitic," I don't think that could be the case.  I didn't even know he was
Jewish, and I bet Aaron didn't either, until you told us so.  I cannot
speak for Aaron, but his religion and ethnicity are not a factor in any
opinion I have of him.

He could be an ultra-conservative Christian from the Southern US, for all
I would know or care.  I somehow suspect one of us would care, though.

Could be, and could also be that his religion and ethnicity are an easy
excuse for those who want to defend him.
