This is like saying Americans, being white like the Germans, were the same types of people who murdered Jews. How does it feel to be a Jew murderer?

Islamofascist, like "enhanced" interrogation techniques, is just made up words, a common liberal tactic when existing words don't have enough shock and awe in them.

It was not. The UK simply pulled up and left when the Mandate expired on May 14, 1948. There was no transfer of power--the Israelis unilaterally declared independence and grabbed the land they wanted, massacring and dynamiting villages and murdering the UN Ambassador along the way. Israel was not even a UN member until 1949.

Then they should make that case in court. I might even support it. But they haven't. Party because they don't want the treaties annulled--they want the casino money and the hunting and fishing rights and all the rest of it.

But to stand in judgement of others as you do with Israel - especially when you are factually ignorant (who exactly is the "their" you speak of? 55% of what "country" do you speak of?
"Country" is a concept broader than "nation-state".

We should break all ties with Israel until they stop their aggression against the people of Palestine.

Speaking of taking down towers...

King David Hotel bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taking sides in this conflict is as stupid as trying to get between a bear and a bee's nest.

Lets see. Israel attacks Lebanon and is not held accountable.
Israel destroys Gaza. The US pays 800 million to rebuild it.
I really can't seem to find any incentive for Israel to change their ways.
By the way Israel gained their independence by using the very same tactics that they claim justifies their attacks on the Palestinians.
King David Hotel? Just to give 1 example.

No doubt....
But wait I know. Our good friend and trusted ally Israel might share some really yummy secrets about Terrorists with us some day. Especially if we increase the amount of foreign aid we give them each year. Throw in a few new weapons platforms, some top shelf fighters and oh yeah release a few of their spies we caught red handed from our prisons.

"Country" is a concept broader than "nation-state".
And them injuns want their whiskey too, right?

And about those broad concepts, you are living on land belonging to someone else's country. How exactly did the white man's courts gain jurisdiction over another peoples' country?

Or are you still looking the other way?

Since when did Israel need provocation? All they need is the megabucks, weapons, etc. that Uncle Sugar (U.S.) gives them. It's disgraceful that the U.S. has blood on their hands from Israeli terrorism.
