I think we can agree both sides are at fault. But I find it ridiculous that we pay Israel billions and give them billions in military equipment so they will do what is in their best interest for a few weeks. Were paying them to stop fighting the neighbor as they keep extending their fence into the neighbors yard.

I mean the world agrees the settlements are illegal but we do nothing to stop it but pay them. And the moment those couple weeks were done they were waiting to start building within hours.

Now Israel Is always gonna have people who hate them like Iran but that is new excuse for them stealing land.

The US should stop ALL Foriegn Aid. Borrowing money from China to give it away makes no sense at all

Why does the US provide foreign aid to anybody when it cannot even pay for its own social programms anymore? Where is the outrage by the Tea Partiers over that?

Stop the settlements? WHY. Israel was attacked, Israel won the war, Israel took the lan by right of Conquest. Are you up for giving New mexico and parts of texas back to mexico.

Then are you in favor of bringing all the Palestinians to full citizen status within Israel? Including full voting rights? If Israel is not going to give up the "occupied land" then what should be done to the people who live there?

Remember, if this were to happen then the Palestinians would be the majority ethnic group within Israel, not Jews.

Maybe a democracy which is not based on the supremacy of a particular religious group would be preferable.
