Unfair Tilt Toward Israel

In mid-September, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) joined Democratic Rep. Howard Berman of Los Angeles and several dozen other congressional Democrats in an extraordinary attempt to stop debate in the presidential primaries about America's approach to Middle East conflict. In a letter to candidate Howard Dean, the liberal Democrats criticized Dean's statement that if the United States wanted to play a positive role in bringing Israel and Palestine to peace, it would have to take a more neutral stance.

Privately, some Democrats say they are doing this to ensure that their party does not lose the support of Jewish campaign contributors, who play a disproportionate role in the finances of the party. Pelosi, they say, was trying to reassure these contributors that the party would stay loyal to Israel.

just let themselves be blown up? i just dont get it!

let themselves be driven from their homes, their land and be occupied by others?

disgruntled Palestine Firsters, most of whom live in Australia anyhow? :shrug:

and we're not all from Australia...

Or is that considered to be a backward hillbilly redneck attitude?

It certainly wouldn't break my heart if we shit-canned all this foreign aid and used some of the money to provide for our own citizens... Hell, we might even have enough left over to erect our own fence along the Mexican border... :think:

There are other programs besides Buchanon & Press

The IDF activities would be on a much larger scale if what you claim here were true. The actions are neither random nor are they comprehensive. They are targeted for terrorist groups and those who actively support terrorist activities, such as families of suicide bombers.
