You have to be realistic about what you say and how you say it, truth or not.
Take a look at Mel Gibson. If he had staggered towards the policeman who pulled him over whilst drunkenly mumbling about how every Muslim is a terrorist he would be a shining beacon of "freedom of speech" in the West, and protesting muslims would be fanatics and their very protest would be proof that they are incompatible with Western culture.
What do you think such claims and talk about xxxish involvement in the Genocide would do to us and our push for it's recognition, especially in America.
But I'm rambling on, my original post had more to do with taking one line posts and other things posted on forums as pure fact. Take the claims about Nasrallah for example. Yes, he was born in an Armenian section (but it is not exclusively Armenian, also Shiite!), but what does that prove or mean? Who knows if he speaks Armenian or has Armenian friends? And should that have any bearing on whether I support a man who I know so little about that even hating him would be based purely on what pro-Israeli news says?
A simple google search of "Armenian + Nasrallah" yields a first result of "Armenian Orthodox primate calls Nasrallah a patriot" and an even better third result of:
"The Armenian Thread - Page 147 - Stormfront White Nationalist... Is it true that Hassan Nasrallah knowns Armenian? My mom mentioned it to me today".
Sometimes the truth is not the issue, especially if the target does not even see it as truth. Image is just as important.
Ugh so many digressions, there is a point in there somewhere!
