What is going on here? Is it really all about moral outrage over Israel’s existence?... He likes to vilify Israel just as much as he enjoys building grotesquely opulent mansions for the rich and famous. He may even like the former a little more than the latter. Also, he has a lot of followers, around one million, so do his children who are often featured in his posts.</blockquote>
