The point here - very well illustrated by the diversionary rucus caused - is that it is ESPECIALLY problematic where Israel's hyper-sensitive Hasbara is involved. Maybe GT did have that in mind, though on balance I think he was probably flattered at the invitation and did a barely rehearsed motor-mouth memory dump that slipped passed the censors ....or maybe he's just another Sayanim himself :elefant:
Anyway, I think we're in danger of debating how many angels can dance on a pin-head on this so I'll say no more.
