I don’t hate Netanyahu. I do think he is a warmonger who has done much to hurt the cause of peace. And my opinion on that is almost entirely based on things (Jewish) Israelis have told me.

Growing a beard longer than 1/8"

That is a new one for me.

That is simply a preference for comfort sake. I put 1/8th inch as that is the longest that mine ever gets.
