"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Elie Wiesel accepting the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize
Hamas wants to destroy Israel, right? But as Mehdi Hasan shows in a new video on blowback, Israeli officials admit they helped start the group.

Israel or Hamas Terrorists?
It would appear to me, as anyone who knows the history of this conflict, Israel created this monster for a political purpose . . .
Thus? This is none of any American's concern.
Israel has made their bed, let them lie in it. We should definitely stop selling them weapons and anything that will continue this travesty on innocents caught in their Machiavellian games.
I read about this fellow,
Elie Wiesel, and might I point out two important facts about him. First, although he did gain American citizenship, it seems he believes in internationalism, and some imagined duty of all nations to get involved in every crime against humanity, and have their citizens crusade and pay for that crusading. Rather than the advice of America's founders, of which he gives no concern for at all, it would appear.
And second, although he crusaded for and cared for all oppressed the world over, that concern clearly does not extend to Muslims in the Middle East.
His outlook, and PoV, aren't culturally very American. I suppose we should not be surprised given his place of birth and upbringing. I fault him not for that, but he has no place to demand anything of American foreign policy being an alien to this land, if he has no desire to adopt our culture.
You? Like this European Jew, can plead with others to chose between Zionists and Arab Terrorists. . . but for me?
I CHOOSE AMERICA.
