The population density of Gaza is about the same as Boston, and every means into and out of the area is sealed. These "human shield" claims are a bit ridiculous taking all of that into consideration and also the fact that Israel's air attack has effectively been indiscriminate.

Why are American Jews so disloyal to the State of Israel?

Judaism is a religion, Israel is a state.

Why do American Jews owe loyalty to any other state but America?

Tribe>nation.

Plenty of American Jews have volunteered and fought for the IDF, but they'd never enlist in the US military.

I met three Jews and two other mongrels like myself in the US Army.

Jews in America tend to be moderate or secular. They may have little patience and regard for the fundamentalist crazies of their religion, similar to how secularists and other non-Jews regard the Christian fundies and Jesus freaks of America. But unfortunately, the fundie freaks and extremists of Judaism are the ones running Israel right now.

Personally, I can't stand the fundies of any religion, whether Jew, Christian or Muslim.
These people ought to be sent back to the stone age where they belong. The world would be a more tolerant and peaceful place.

First of all, there's plenty of open space. The empty spaces in Gaza

Secondly, it's utter BS to claim that, "Israel's air attack has effectively been indiscriminate". Are you joking?

I love Israel and support them but no that I want to live there.

I will not support Dem. and neither the extreme Conservatives but I still favor the common sense and values of Republicans over the liberal spread the wealth around as long is it isn't theirs and their hypocritical views.

Especially the lies they try to spread about Rep. Ar so disturbing.

I also support any religion that is not extreme and supports values and life and not support kill is of any human being and people who claim to be religious to use it to benefit as I see often in my profession and people like that are fake.

If Muslims want virgins than give them all what they want so the Muslims who believe in life over virgins by hurting others can live in peace as well.

Please explain HOW the Republicans' BIGGER military/MORE defense spending despite their claims of favoring LESS government/LESS government spending are not the true hypocritical views here?

HINT: In case you haven't noticed, the military IS government.

Just HOW is spreading the wealth to the MIC as long as it isn't theirs any different than spreading it anywhere else?

There are empty spaces in Gaza where Hamas could have located their rocket launchers in order reduce the number of Gazan casualties if they had wanted to.

The empty spaces in Gaza

Perhaps for their kind we need a thread asking why American Jews are so disloyal to America, eh?
