If it doesn't affect the US I have no interest in telling any other country what they can/cannot do.

i usually ignore the posts from this individual but felt these CAIR talking points/juvenile slogans should be countered.

First off, i cannot help but laugh at the tools like this whining about aid to israel, who provides the US with everything from improved avionics and weapons tech to massive amounts of intel on terrorists across the mideast, but make no mention of the hundreds of billions going to outright enemies like pakistan or iraq, or the trillions stolen by the arab oil cartel members. But oh my goodness...three whole billion for those damn jews, my my...and calling Israel wealthy is beyond hilarious.

Read the whole thing, I dare you. Hamas is by their own declaration nothing more than a terrorist machine.
"Here's a link to the rest of the charter. I challenge you to find ANYTHING in it that does anything to advance life in Palestine, except to kill all non-Muslim infidels in the world"

Pretty much tells it like it is. Even if they take Israel and convert the world they will never be happy. They will just turn on each other as seen all across the middle East.

Today:

Children killed in Gaza playground shelling Israel denies striking Gaza's main hospital and a playground, where seven children have been killed.

But the type of schrapnel will determine who struck and killed the children.


Attack wipes out entire Gaza family Israeli air strike kills 20 family members in the area of Khan Younis, moments before temporary ceasefire.



This is genocide--- I can't believe the American people are not only sanctioning these murders, but applauding them, (and paying for them.) It's incomprehensible to me.

What do you think would be happening to Israeli children if it weren't for the Iron Dome?

I agree with you. It would seem more efficient for the IDF to continuously bomb Gaza to destroy tunnels as their built.

It may be hilarious, but it is true. You are wrong.

UN: Israel 16th Most Prosperous Country in the World


"Israel ranked 16th out of 187 countries in the United Nations Human Development Index for 2012, released on Thursday. The ranking was one better than the country's ranking for 2011 from the standpoint of economy, education and health. Israel scored 900 out of a possible 1,000 points, as compared to top-ranked Norway's 995.

Only five of the 27 European Union members placed higher."

So kill all the Gaza civilians, innocent women and children -- what is wrong with you all ? You are like Nazis--you want to exterminate an entire people.
