After all, I can walk through Atlanta with a sign that says, "Niggers are only good for slaves!" and I may be confronted. Or I could walk through Tel Aviv with a sign that says "Hitler didn't fry enough of you bastards!" That doesn't necessarily mean that I will be confronted, right?
We're not snatching people and sending them to Canada or Japan, in which case I could perhaps accept Rice's explanation. I guess it depends what the meaning of is is...
