Has Israel taken any action or indicated it gives a "fiddler's f*ck" about those things or has it shown itself to be like any other country?

Yes, it has. Israel has treated wounded Syrians in Israeli hospitals.

Also a Yazidi child is being treated in an Israeli hospital now.

Also there are Israeli doctors in the Congo providing eye care to the locals.

But Israel...those are the international terrorists.
Maybe it's because Israel has been steadily conducting an ethnic cleansing of Palestine for the past 66 years, while the "western world" has turned a blind eye to all of Israel's wrongdoing. It's preposterous for anyone to think that Israel can just dehumanize and slaughter people with impunity.

A child of one of those Jews is on CD. He stated in a post a few years back that the Jews deserved it. And he's ultra orthodox.

You can't call it ethnic cleansing when the population grew more under Israel than under either Jordanian or Egyptian rule.

Yes, because we're not paying for them.

BTW, I see no indication the statement "God may just shake California as those that curse Israel will be cursed" was in anyway intended as satire.
Maybe if Israel was not in a constant state of having to defend itself from neighbors who insist that they will spend every resource and never rest until it is destroyed, it could start playing deputy of the world police.

I don't believe in god, but if there was one, I'd think it was pretty clear he wasn't on the Palestinian side, heheh.

We're not paying ISIS to commit "Christian genocide", genius. But FWIW I did protest the Iraq War even more vociferously than I do Israeli military aid.

"The US" didn't get anything for its $2 trillion. Plenty of Americans made loads of money off the war, however.

No, plenty of Americans had paying jobs there with an adjustment for hazard pay.

Sure we are, we take out one group and another one steps in. Where do you think their funding and weapons came from? Allah? We may have not done it directly, but indirectly we (the US) supplied them. We need to stop stepping into sheet. If the EU and the UN see it as a problem, let them deal with it. The US is in a catch-22. No matter what we do is wrong. Just pick up and leave and let the Arabs finish fighting among themselves. What will be, will be.
