There is absolutely no use in arguing a statement posted by Tinordi. Read it again:

"That's because Israel is a pariah state by any rational assessment of the evidence."

It is not based in any fact. What is there to argue: that it isn't a pariah state or that there is no rational evidence of it? Which is why it's bizarre.

Any political commentary must be balanced by showing some appreciation and understanding of both sides to the conflict. The reality of Israel's constant struggle to survive as an independent state is incredibly complicated. Anyone minimizing this struggle to a simple aggressor-country mentality is either politically ignorant (purposely ignoring all of the issues surrounding this reality) or driven by personal hatred of the Jewish people. There is no other way to interpret these posts.
