This is not surprising- like all muslim fanatics, they are bullies, cowards, and stupid. Of course, alot of the media will still try to make Israel look bad because of this. They are an evil entity that needs to be wiped out completely.

does anybody not believe that they use this tactic?

the question is whether or not its ok for Israel to defend itself and kill civilians in doing so. it ultimately comes down to the fact that people who say israel is wrong by retaliating believe that israel has no right to be there.

Does anyone really have to wonder why Muslims claim this as their land?

The area is also known as the Holy Land, being holy for all Abrahamic religions including Judaism, Christianity, Islam.

Why do we send tax dollars there, and only support one faction?

it seems to make more sense than to send money to all factions so they can just have a war. sending money to one faction helps maintain stability. of course, if the one faction you choose is the muslims, you will have genocide.

at this point, i think its best to send money to no faction. that will force israel to wipe out the palestinians since they will be desperate. maybe now isnt the best time, but possible 10-20 years when we are less impacted by oil disruptions in the middle east.

The USA not only sends money to Israel, it also sends money to Egypt as well as the Palestinian Authority which in Gaza means Hamas!

Agreed, and stop aid to Pakistan, and other countries. Promote business in America, and disincentives for moving out of the country.

My tax dollars being used for this silliness is crazy. I'd rather see my money help Americans than foreigners over an ideal you can't see touch or feel.

This topic is a GOP ideal whether you chose to admit it or not, and the post is showing your support.
The majority of TEA Party people I talk to want to cut off all foreign aid, including that to Israel.

Do you agree with such a TEA Party principle?

Well, I see that you do.

BTW, when we stop sending aid to Israel, we essentially take them off the leash, which is fine by me.

Are you sure?

2011 Rasmussen poll indicates that 61% of Republicans support continued aid to Israel, despite the statements of libertarian Ron Paul (R-TX), “Godfather of the Tea Party”, who has been especially vocal on cutting Israel’s foreign aid. When it’s considered that, according to a spring 2010 Gallup poll, 62% of Tea Party supporters/Tea Partiers are conservative Republicans.

I initially supported the Tea Party until it became another arm for the Koch brothers objective in destroying the working class.

Both FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity have provided support for the Tea Party movement.

yeah, i know the deal was to send money to egypt to try to equalize it. well, it was really money for mubarak and some for the military. that did work well to keep egypt stable until obama let that situation blow up. what we really need is to be in a position where war in the middle east doesnt hurt us financially. then we can stop giving away taxpayer money to either side.
