38. Evidently YOU are the one reading them -- making any subject taboo simply dumbs down
the discussion --

DU'ers should see this discussion/debate -- and all other discussions of

wars daily at DU!

We are financing Israel, afterall -- and their warmaking --

Israeli and US weapons production are so closely intertwined that you can

barely tell the difference between them! Israel is a nuclear nation!
