The thing I can't figure out is why so many Americans believe that defending Israel is part of being a Patriotic American???
to that question i have no answer... money flows in aid to israel which is reality is simply how we allow them to arm themselves....we give them money to buy our weapons...look at the uss liberty...patrioteers have elected to believe israel over their own sailors..name another time that has happened...or more modern...the number of times the us has detected israelis spys...of course all of this will be denied...
many times i see it tied to religion ... as if the christians must keep the promised land and god's people alive till the "rapture" (which is a concept of the last 120 years or so) now i am not sure what will happen to the jews in the rapture ..it would be my understanding they would be left on earth to face the trials of revelations...and find jesus...but of that i am not sure...
but i have no clue why people who claim the high ground....dont ask more questions of what is going on...seems to me..people want to make a very complex situation ..simple....arabs bad..jews good...blah blah blah...is it the fear they have of really knowing what is going on? or do they simply not care....after all we dont care about darfur or the many genocides going on currently...i have often said the slogan "never again" needs to be changed to "never again to us"...surely no one can deny the "ethnic cleansing" going on daily, where is the horror about that?
perhaps americans are guilty of "selective horrors", we only see evil where and when we want. look at the treatment of our allies...ie. canada....during 9/11 they moved what little armed forces they had to help...the 9/11 victims were given canadian blood as the canadians flooded in to give and their communication and shipping was not is disarray but quickly they were forgotten in favor of our closests neigbhors, mexico? what the hell?
o and lets not forget the weekend canadians flooded nyc ..even with an unfavorable exchange rate...to help the economy of nyc recover...
and suddenly the french are the worse people on earth..even worse than arabs..if that is possible....o and then the statements..we like peaceful arabs..rings so much of we like blacks that know their place...
but the arabs hardly do themselves any favors...but by now all the pro israel people are calling me anti this and that...and wont read this part...the right of return is gone and over...why do you glorify the bombers...bombers who want to inflict as much harm as they can...children seeing these bombers as heroes...if you give up the right of return and the wishing to see israel pushed into the sea then perhaps peace will begin...you cry about jenin and the other refugee ghettos but refuse to leave them...you have more children than you can afford or feed...because you do want to outpopulate the jews...
the election of hamas was complex and not understood by the western world.
both sides hate men of peace...peace seems to be the enemy...one may say that israel lives in peace with other arabs countries....so now decide which came first with the other countries...both sides must work at peace and neither side seems willing...
