I presume this is really a rhetorical question.
You and I both know why some people are so obsessed with Jews.
This place is rife with brownshirts.
Sometimes they openly acknowledge their hatred, sometimes they try to couch their hatred behind the maquarde of asking "innocent" questions.
But the fact is one knows these people by their obsession about Jews and Isreal.
Now if they tell you that they are upset about Isreal (as I am, too actually) then you have to pretend to believe them, because as an American one ought to have the right to object to our foreign policy.
But Isreal is hardly the ONLY country that we support that has a miserable record on human rights.
But these people here never seem to be bothered by those other nations, do they?
That's rather telling as far as I am concerned.
Isn't it also telling that our support for Israel seemingly knows no bounds? It isn't only the $7million/day in military aid we bestow on a nation with hundreds of rogue nuclear weapons. That would be bad enough, in my opinion.
I think that's overstated.
There's plenty of countries that we are allied with whose record in civil rights are far worse.
That doesn't remotely excuse Isreal's record, of course, but I note that those other nations are never mentioned here.
That's because, generally speaking, the same people who apparently support the authoritarian nations that we are allied with, will not support Israel
because they hate Jews.
Are they pissed that Egyptians live under a shamocracy? Or that we supported tyrannies all over Asia?
No, they're not. Not if you read the posts here everyday, as I do, at least.
That's a vexing event and of course complaining about it and calling for a response to it isn't something that I object to.
Like I suppose you do, I think Israel attacked that ship because it was covering up something.
It ought to be investigated thoroughly by a THIRD PARTY since I doubt US Congress has the balls to do it.
If you say so. I really don't know if that's true.
True. We support our allies.
We sabotaged East Timor's bid for independence, too, but you don't see our resident NAZIs bitching (or probably even knowing anything) about that.
"The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation revealed today the text of
a secret anti-Palestinian resolution to be voted on by the House of Representatives later in the day.
"The full text of the draft resolution, not yet made public officially, is reprinted below.*
"The resolution, introduced by Rep. Howard Berman, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, condemns Palestinian efforts to establish an independent state."
US Campaign
You seem to want to try convince me that the USA is supportive of Israel.
Yeah, I know that's true. No need to beat that dead (but obvious) horse on my behalf. You're preaching to the choir.
I'm retorting:
why are some posters here so obsessed with Israel's transgressions when our government support that same kind of transgressions (or much worse) in other countries?
Why don't our resident brownshort ALSO care about
those victims of US foreign policy?
I'll tell you why, in case you're STILL missing my point...
because they don't care about justice, they just hate JEWS.
