Reply #95: You missed my point-- sorry [View All]

There have been a lot of trolls here lately (with low post numbers) who do "hit and run" type posts, just to agitate. On the surface, your post looked like one of them. I apologize for making that assumption.

Second, to single out Iraq as the cause of Israel's suffering ignores the nearly 40 years of Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, and the oppression of the population in those territories. It also neglects to mention that many of Israel's neighbors support peaceful relations with Israel-- if it will allow a sovereign Palestinian state in the territories it occupied in 1967.

Also, most experts in the intelligence community acknowledge that only one middle-eastern nation has WMD-- Israel. Israel also has a history of aggressive behavior towards its neighbors and has also oppressed minority populations within its occupied territories. Not to mention that it too, like Iraq, has received billions of dollars in military assistance from the US.

And yet, we're not trying to get weapons inspectors into Israel. Israel won't even ALLOW the IAEA in to look at its weapons programs-- something that someone as evil as Saddam allowed in his last days.

Sure, Saddam may have given aid to the families of Palestinian terrorists, but our tax money is being spent to destroy the homes and livelihoods of innocent Palestinians whose only crime is being Palestinian.
