The unholy evangelicals are committing an egregious sin by trying to help set up "end times" rather than letting God handle things. Meanwhile, Netanyahu bites the hand that feeds him:

General Petraeus is even saying Israel's actions are hurting the US troop mission in the Middle East.

He knows our support of their brutality is one of the prime motivators of Muslim anger.

Of course AIPAC is now going after him. Israel you see can NEVER be wrong.

The best part about all the billions of cash and other American aid is that Israel has never uttered or made any gesture of gratitude.

Because they believe they're entitled to it, like all lowlife welfare leeches.

That may be their downfall. The culture of the ruling government is so smug and arrogant. The openly brag in Israel how influencial they are in the US and how they can exact a price from any lawmaker opposing them. Right now most liberals in the USA know what's going on as does the Libertarian/Ron Paul side on the right.

Funny, that we always here about US Allegiance to Israel no matter what, but when you ask the majority of Americans they don't agree. Simply put: a select few has determined our allegiance and have decided what monies we send their way - the American people have had no say in the matter. 106.1 Billion Dollars in aid through 2009 and more to come.

Howard Dean might have been unelectable for other reasons - Hee Haw Remember, they ran that scene on TV over and over again - trying to paint him as a crazy loon. Well, it worked.

Thanks to Obama's healthcare reform, the US will no longer be able to "aid" Israel with billions of US taxpayers' money every year. Perhaps Obama is an evil genius after all.

He was married to a Jewish Doctor.

What they managed to do in the US is equate being pro-Israel with being for the pro-Likud platform. Dissent is not allowed.

There is actually more debate in Israel over stopping this brutality than there is here in the US.

The media here is scared shtless to frame the debate in a fair manner for fear of incurring the wrath of the pro-Likud US lobby.

The US has provided Egypt with $1.3 billion a year in military aid since 1979, and an average of $815 million a year in economic assistance. All told, Egypt has received over $50 billion in US largesse since 1975.

I never hear anyone decry the aid to Egypt. Why is that?
