This reminds me of shows I hear on NPR (and I'm a total liberal) about men who break the law and how devastating the jail time is for their families. It is referred to "before the jail time happened" as if it were an illness that no one was responsible for, instead of talking about it as if the crime really hurt the family members. In other words, the Palestinians created this situation. They are responsible for it. Israel is defending itself against their actions and has been from the beginning, not the other way around. That Israel is much bigger, has more money and power and friends in the world is something they should have taken into consideration before they decided to wage ongoing conflict with them. |
They are our ally -- why would we do that? We need allies in that part of the world. Not going to happen. |
Check the #PrayforGaza page on Tumblr and you'll know why the world hates Israel and its residents with a white-hot passion that will not dissipate for a very, very long time.

I doubt that. |
People tend to remember human filth who murder children. Boycott Israel! |
The Palestinians are the same, exactly. Plus they start it, every time. |
NP, I think you are not being honest. Take out the Palestinian/Israelis conflict and just make this an every day Virginia murder. If your four children were murdered in your neat little FFX home, you and most of your family would be screaming for the death penalty. In addition, if you believed you could sue and bankrupt the killers, their insurance, family under a wrongful death premise and prevail, you would do that after a criminal conviction. That is you and your family on steroids doing everything you can to destroy those responsible. |
The Jews expelled the Palestinians from their homes, and keep building the illegal settlements contrary to international law. This entire campaign in Gaza is the result of Israeli provocation, and designed to create an even larger security buffer zone for Israel. |
Israel not spending a fortune of its own money. They are spending US taxpayers fortunes. |
They are not our ally. To be an ally you have to have some thing the other partner wants or needs. They are client state where we for some reason do not tell them what to do. The state of Israel is against the the interst of the US. |
Stop with your lies. The Israelis are the evil ones and god knows. |
Israel spends $14 billion of its own money on defense. $3 billion was given to Israel by the US, which is <1% of our deficit. Israel is certainly spending a fortune of their own money, and they have already spent $450 million on Iron Dome, which is 2% of their defense expenditures and our aid combined, so it is certainly a fortune, mostly probably of their own money. |
Let's be real, Israel is not our ally! Israel is in it for Israel. What has Israel done for the USA period? Israel spies on the USA. Israel is still pressing the USA to release the Pollard sky as a condition of a middle east peace deal. Israel has provided sanctuary to those who have committed murder in the USA (Sheinbein). Israel provided fake intel to the USA regarding Iraq's WMD, only because Israel wanted Saddam gone (they accused Saddam of going support to bombers in the Gaza). What benefit has Isreal been to the USA? I would venture the negatives greatly outweigh the positives. |
14:30 here. Israel apologized for the Pollard spy, they could have made an error about WMDs like we did, prison is not a sanctuary, and we need an ally in that region to give us an insider's look at terrorists in that region. |
If they are so apologetic for Pollard, by the way we have a more recent Israel spy, why are they pressing the President to either release Pollard or relinquish him to them
Apparently Sheinbein considered jail time in Israel was more advantageous to him than jail time in maryland. Therefore, it was sanctuary for him. The reason we have so many enemies in that area is because of our undying can do no wrong support of Israel. Many would consider Israel IDF a terrorist group, so I guess it depends on how you define the word and who is yielding it. |
