And they don't take American Express. Will they accept a check, or does it have to be cash?

So will US foreign aid to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority be redirected until this is paid off?

US foreign aid always has the hook that it has to be used to buy things that US corporations sell them, preferably arms. So tax money from the working class comes back as profits for the military-industrial investor class, and then up to the banking class. For what other reason would we just give something away to undeserving layabouts that we worked so hard to earn?

Such principles have been embedded in our economic theory for a long time.
In a Rothschild Brothers' of London communiqué to associates in New York June 25, 1863
"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages...will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without suspecting that the system is inimical to their best interests."

Why isn't Israel fined for keeping 2 million people in a prison camp in their own land? Or murdering 1,660 civilians not militants - CIVILIANS in Gaza in 2014?

Hamas chose to fire upon Israel and use human shields because they don't value human life not even their own citizens they are totally comfortable with sacrificing their population for their cause. They continued to fire over and over again and used schools and hospitals filled with women and children as shields like the COWARDS they are instead of fighting like men.

I know this but they were still innocent people. Do you not feel for them? This is their land you do know this don't you? You can't pick and choose who to feel sorry on murder is murder no matter what side and there is no doubt that the Gaza Strip civilians took the brunt. You know this, I know this every blood one knows this.

Yes the footage was horrible of the wounded children. I understand it is a complicated issue that won't be resolved any time soon perhaps when religion starts playing a less important role in the region then perhaps the conversation has hope of making a positive shift I think that may be the only hope. I understand what you are saying.

In your own homeland, being defended from attackers or occupiers or oppressors, real men fight in a manner most likely repel them. Invaders can quit and go home and hide behind mommy's skirts and call it a draw, with nothing lost.
