I always thought we were better than that.
It's funny how the 'dancing Jews' in Manhattan were given no press whatsoever, and not much was given to the candlelight vigils in support of the US in countries such as Iran.

But there's still hope for humanity whatever our differences as long as there are folks like you guys who look and question.

Oh my gosh, I thought you were being sarcastic, until I realized you actually believe the dribble you are writing. Take a history class and then come back and state your case.

i was under the impression the rocket attacks into Israel from the occupied territories was the direct result of the israeli occupation?

i mean, isnt it terrorism vs terrorism?

how many people have died from these rocket attacks? I think the number is 16 in 9 years.

how many palestinians have died in 3 weeks?

Good shooting. I have no use for either the Palestinians or the UN.

I'm sure that most would have the same feelings towards you.

IMO, the sooner the UN is done away with, the better.

The UN building can then be put to better use - such as a homeless shelter.

Didn't you once post a justification for the invasion of Iraq as being a single UN resolution? I swear I saw that post somewhere. I guess the relevancy of the UN depends solely on whether you support their actions or not.

However in the case of the UN building in Gaza, I suppose they could turn it into a homeless shelter if it weren't a pile of rubble next to a crater. I guess those savages don't deserve much more than a pile of rubble anyway, huh?

Which wouldn't hurt my feelings in the slightest. However, since it's MY taxpayer dollars that provide the majority of the funding for the UN while the UN does very, very little for the American taxpayer, whose opinion should count more?
