The freaky propaganda charade in the American media should make any decent human being hurl
at the pure evil this purposeful ignorance represents.
That is all, time to take it all out on the lawn. Where did I leave my Bushwhacker?

(14,449 posts)Unbelievable how they started firing during a cease fire. I wonder if they thought Israel was just going to sit back and take it? HA! I guess next time when their is a cease fire, maybe Hamas will take it seriously.

(269,054 posts)He's speaking about columnists speaking out against this Israeli slaughter of children.
Ezra Klein is also condemning the Israeli approach...immorally indefensive Klein calls the settlements.

(62,325 posts)Incredible that you would accuse little children of 'being led by' ANYONE. Do you understand the meaning of the word 'children, innocent'??
The world is outraged and no amount of excuses is going to change that. The world is getting a close up look at THIS country's murderous foreign policies, and its shameful, though not surprising considering our own war criminals are walking around, support for Israel, as the children die and feeble attempts are made to try to turn the world's eyes away from that.
I've been reading the comments on world media articles about this, and it is encouraging to see the responses to the same old 'it's the children's fault, it's Hamas' fault'. Whoever kills the children is responsible, PERIOD.

(16,110 posts)Yes, I'm sure that the children voted.
And, in the end, Hamas was created BY Israel.
You see, when you take everything from people, they are willing to follow whoever gives them even a tiny shred of hope.
Hamas was that glimmer of hope in an unending occupation. People who have nothing more to lose will risk everything.

(8,028 posts)...why this massacre of Palestinians is being allowed to continue; why the United States military or the citizens of Israel aren't stepping in to put a stop to this carnage.
As a child, I didn't understand why someone didn't step in to stop the Holocaust or the My Lai massacre.
I must be terribly naive.

(14,449 posts)I know for a fact that the American people do not want to have our military involved in this mess. I am surprised that a liberal would even bring it up.

(8,028 posts)...if the United States stops bankrolling Israel. Do you think the American people might approve of that suggestion?

(4,906 posts)we can choose to support blowing hospitals and schools and children to pieces and live without empathy and in the hatred they exhibit..or we can choose to recognize psychopathy and its degradation of humanity
I will never submit to anyone who supports this horror. Israel drew the line in the sand this time. There is nothing that Netanyahu or his rabid government can ever say or do that will influence me to believe this is just. He should be in jail.

(3,596 posts)I have always fully supported Israel, their right to a homeland for Jews and their right to defend themselves.
But in recent years as the controversies of expanded settlements, effective incarceration of Palestinians either in the West Bank or Gaza, destruction of economic opportunity, etc. has become apparent my views have begun to change.
The most current war between Hamas and Israel has completed the circle. Regardless of what started this dispute, there is no justification for the wholesale slaughter/genocide of innocent Palestinians. If the Israelis are out to destroy the tunnels then why aren't they doing that? Why are they bombing houses and schools and hospitals?
They are doing it either because Bibi believes in a Palestinian Holocaust (my suspicion) or because Bibi believes if he kills enough people he can convince the Palestinians to abandon support of Hamas.
His actions will have the opposite effect. The more killing you do the more suicide bombers you spawn and the more hatred for Jews and Israel.
So for me now I am for terminating all U.S. aid for Israel in any form. Let the Israelis pay for their own weapons and security without sugar daddy/bitch America footing the bill. Further I am for a U.N. plan to dismantle Israel and give the land back to the Palestinians. I'm sure the Jews won't mind living in camps for 30 or 40 years like they did to the Palestinians after the U.N. gave them Israel as a consolation prize for the holocaust.
I have cancelled a planned trip to Fascist land for next year. I am checking my portfolio for any Israelis companies and am reviewing the products/services I purchase to eliminate anything with Israel in the name.
They are dead to me now.
