Yeah but I hope you're not just trying to say that bad things happen on all sides. Israel is causing mass death and suffering of mainly women and children because they "don't feel safe". They seem to want to annihilate and humilate and cause misery and suffering and death. It is sickening, how can the world stand by? How can America be associated with their moral bankruptcy?

I have often wondered this. Is there some kind of blackmail going on? Why does the U.S. go along with this? Is the president's family under threat or something? It makes no sense and it has to stop. Israel's actions are completely indefensible and horrific.

I think people in power are worried about being seen as anti-Semitic if they don't do absolutely everything asked by Israel. They can't separate policy from ethnicity. But I feel the U.S. supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt for the same reason. Go against a Muslim organization and you look like a bigot. If we'd just stay focused on what we allegedly care about, like human rights, it would be clearer how to deal with people.

It's disgusting and monstrous. I am horrified that my tax dollars support Israel. They are committing atrocities against children, little terrified children. I can't believe it's allowed to continue and I am ashamed that our country supports Israel.

The ugliness and paranoia of Israel has never been more clearly on display. What a wretched country full of total shits. I hope they get what they want in the Mideast because I don't want these people anywhere else in the world.

I posted this assessment by Avi Shlaim, professor emeritus of international relations at St. Antony's College, Oxford University, and author of Israel and Palestine: Reappraisals, Revisions, Refutations in another thread but it bears repeating:

"The occupation, the relentless expansion of illegal settlements, the construction of the monstrous "security barrier" on the West Bank, the demolition of Palestinian houses in East Jerusalem, the flagrant violations of international law, the systematic abuse of Palestinian human rights and the rampant racism – all are slowly but surely turning Israel into an international pariah. No sane Israeli relishes the prospect of living in a pariah state that maintains an apartheid regime. But few Israelis are ready for a truly honest historical reckoning with the people they have wronged and oppressed and whose land they continue to colonise. To blame the victims for their own misfortunes, as the people in power habitually do, is both disingenuous and despicable. This is no way for any nation to behave, especially one with such an acute historical memory of the bitter taste of victimhood."

As for myself - BDS - Boycott, Divest and Sanction. I won't be buying Israeli goods or goods from US companies with strong ties to Israel. A quick Google search which products to avoid.


Good point. Maybe someone can post Israeli products to boycott.


A barcode starting with 729 means a product was produced in Israel.

http://www.bdsmovement.net/

Go to the Campaign tab for information about product boycotts, divestiture around the globe and sanctions.


There is also an excellent app called Buycott, available for both Android and iPhone. You can fund causes you support and avoid funding those you disagree with. You can use it to scan a product, it will look up the product, determine what brand it belongs to, and figure out what company owns that brand (and who owns that company, ad infinitum). It will then cross-check the product owners against the companies and brands included in the campaigns you've joined, in order to tell you if the scanned product conflicts with one of your campaign commitments.

Those three teens weren't killed by Hamas if that's what the first poster is talking about. Israel confirmed it was not Hamas.

"They will bomb the Zeitun area and the people are already fleeing. The problem is that the priest Fr George and the three nuns of Mother Teresa have 29 handicapped children and nine old ladies who can't move."



The video shows the destruction of Beit Hanoun. Israel wants to expand its buffer zone within Gaza. I think they will destroy everything within the new zone. The new zone will take a huge amount Gaza's land, reducing Gaza by 40 percent. Gaza is already one of the world's most densely populated places on Earth.


Who are "they"?


The Israeli forces. They are going to depopulate and destroy 40% of Gaza.
