I've no love for Israel. But the fact is the Israelis offered a peace time and time again, but the Palestinians refused. At this point Israel wants all the land, and has the power to take it. I wish that was not the case. But it is the case. And the Pales best option is to stop attacking. Just lie down in front of the tanks. No doubt the IDF will run some people over, but at that point, the US will not have any choice but to cut support. And the reason the loathsome political parties exist in Israel is because of Pales refusal of any peace. There is definitely a chicken that came before the egg in this case.
Strangely, to me Afghan is a more difficult to distinguish. Without the Taliban, there'd not have been 9-11. But W passed on killing them all to invade what the fuck for Mesopotamia. I say let's raise a toast to Eve who got us the fuck outta there in the first place, and it took a real idiot to get us back there. So Obama got us out of Mesopotamia for the most part, but qWagmired us in what really is a continuation of religious wars predating Islam ... you'd think a devout Muslim like ObamatheFalse would have had a clue to avoid that Fool's Errand. (-: I mean what is our moral justification for killing innocents in Aghan? It wasn't necessary for self-defense when Obama expanded our presence. At least the Israelis as loathsome as they are, are fighting for survival. The Taliban's moral code requires killing all religious opponents and persecuting women for being women. But so long as we are there (and Nato too for that matter) we will have to kill Taliban who are trying to kill our guys.
But to compare the Israelis to Hamas or the US military to the Taliban .... both these pols need to be kicked out of office.
