Thank you to these senators that co-sponsored Israel resolution...

it has reaffirmed why I personally support all of them.

Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Tom Harkin, Daniel Inouye, Edward Kennedy, Charles Schumer, Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, John Kerry, Carl Levin and Barack Obama.

I believe he was a co-sponsor, as were some other dems.

screed?

Regardless of the hot topic du jour.

But now I can't shake the feeling that you're just poking people with a stick to get a reaction.

senators. i guess i could write a thread about the revolting jewish kids signing rockets or the evil israel deliberately targeting civilians and jump in the old circle jerk.

Where you were poking another poster with a stick in an attempt to get a reaction. It devalues your OP by making you appear as if your out seeking a fight.

But it's "more than a feeling...more than a feeling!" Sorry. Got Boston in my head for some reason.

you do not. it is in the eyes of the beholder i guess. just like the racism thing.

i guess i'd rather be accused of being a spammer. peace.

thing k_jerome posts about. It's because of people like him that DU had an I/P forum in the first place.

I wonder if it pays well?

in Lebanon. In good conscience, I can't thank anyone (except the EU calling for a ceasefire). Before you blast me, I support Israel's right to hit verified clear Hezbollah positions.

:(

I need to call them. One family I will see soon because I'm renting their beach cottage.

:toast:

This is about the only issue I disagree with about 90% of my fellow DUers. I support Israel. . .any politicans that supports Israel has my support.

No, Bush doesn't support Israel, before someone drops that on me. Israel, to Bush, is a convenient way for his hegemonic, imperialistic goal of. . .hmmm? What is his goal this week?

I fear we will lose the confidence we still get from the jewish community. I am in disbelief at the things I have read here recently.

I have news for ya: my husband and his family are Jewish and they probably, now, wouldn't support anyone on that list because of Israel's continued heavy-handedness.

Be more careful before you lump whole ethnic groups into one pie.

Because surely, everyone in Washington must have done something to piss you off at one time or another.

or the time of day. But I suppose the dime means more than anything to them.

They spew stories with your particular type of bias 24/7.

the jews control everything, don't they? :sarcasm:

it's shameful to put words in people's mouths like that.

It's absolute bullshit.

we do if we are not happy with the way israel is conducting her foreign policy? keep quiet?

"if you don't support Israel's bloodshed, you must hate all Jews and want them destroyed" bullshit. You keep putting FALSE words in people's mouths to attribute to them what you WISH they would have said because it's easier to attack that nonexistent position. That's called a strawman.

So ya got your ad homs on the one hand and your strawmen on the other, and very little rational discussion anywhere in between, thanks to the divisiveness and hostility instigated by a few.

It's sickening coming from either side and it really makes me wonder.

post after post, flame bait after flame bait

have fun playing with yourself

Try on "equal justice".

Try on anti-PNAC.

Try on PRO-LIFE!!!

Good grief,...get the hell outta' here with your anti-Israel rhetoric. Aren't they supposed to be subject to the same rules of law as everybody else?

Harkin is almost always in sync with my thinking when he is not I let him know and usually when he is I let him know, though not always. Thank you for making me aware of this.

I won't be able to vote for any of their opponents in the primary.

political contributions this year. Just the PDA it seems.

then i'll thank them.

both in the Senate and here.

Obama acting like a neo-con. Another reason not to support him next time he comes up for re-election.
They just keep coming.

Lets all pat each other on the backs! What great fucking countries eh? Able to kill so many innocents in so many unique ways!!! Go murika! Go Israel! FUCK Diplomacy! That is for wishy washy Liberal Pansies! KILL KILL KILL! In the Name of Defense!
I am SOOO fucking Proud!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

in your world. Live a few more decades and you may not be so quick to judge things on the surface, but rather look for underlying causes.

I don't wish for civilians to be victims, and I'm sure the Israelis do not either.

Question: Why isn't the Lebanese government evacuating its citizens who are in harm's way?

Or because that friendly government was weak before and now Israel's stupid escalation is weakening even further by the moment.

Actually, I'd like to know where the Lebanese armed forces are. Their country has been under attack for a week. Probably the same answers apply.

good for you!

Why don't you try a little reality on the ground where Lebonese are fightting to survive....

Beirut residents believe anyplace might be bombed

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/world/15076526.htm


BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israel claimed Wednesday that it had wiped out half of Hezbollah's arsenal, but many of the targets Israeli warplanes have hit in their week-long bombardment of the Lebanese capital have no obvious military value.


Among them: a tissue factory, a dairy, and a pair of construction vehicles.


Those targets offer few clues about how much success Israel has had in crippling the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is holding two captured Israeli soldiers and firing rockets into Israel.


But traveling the streets of Beirut leaves one clear impression: Lebanese believe that not a single inch of their country is beyond the whir of Israeli warplanes, the hiss of a falling bomb or the devastating explosion when one hits.


Fear has left the once-bustling capital deserted and shuttered, its few remaining residents bracing for the next boom.


"They're hitting everything, not just Hezbollah," wailed Leila Chahrour, 30, whose home was destroyed, forcing her family to live with 15 other people in a cramped motel room. "It's like this: If you are Lebanese, Israel will kill you."
