When will the rest of the world rise up against the regime in Israel?

"One day after approving an expansion of its security barrier in the West Bank, the Israeli government announces plans to build more than 600 new homes in Jewish settlements there." cursor.org

Talk about aggression!!! We didn't let Saddam do this to Kuwait...why do we allow Israel to do it?

You are completely incorrect.

7. nope - when threads about israel disappear...

...in GD, it discourages debate....

[Darranar]

10. That's not because DU is pro-Israel...

that's because the debate on this topic has gotten very heated in the past, so they kept it in one forum.

As someone who posts routinely in I/P and sees the mess that is GD, I think it was the right decision.

Settlements need to be in any equation about peace.

6. Unfortunately, a number of ppl are blind to the atrocities commited by

Israelis because of the horrifying acts commited by a small, criminal group of Palestinians. That's correct, 2000 palestian homes destroyed, 1,000 palestinians killed, 150 of which were children and just to assasinate 35 terrrorist. it's in the AI Isarel report 2003. Some of the homes bulldozed had ppl in them, missisle meant for one home and missing killed innocent families sleeping.

8. I think Isreal should have a country but I think we are paying for it

Both in money and with all this killing. Until we get this fixed the Arabs will hate and wish to kill us.It makes me ill how we go with these 'sick' govt.We must get the problems fixed to be safe, every one knows that, that has had this trouble. Force just does not work.

9. When will they rise up against Israel's Sugar Daddy, the US?

The policies of the Israeli government are not in the best interests of the Israeli people or the continued existence of the state of Israel.

Rising up against Israel will do no good unless Sugar Daddy US is disarmed and liberated. Then Israel will be disarmed and liberated as well, by default. :)

12. We already had 9/11.

The U. S. role in supporting Israel is a big recruiting tool for al Qaeda.

13. Why do we allow Israel to do it? Because we are just as bad as they are.

We are the Daddy rightwing global power. They are the Sonny-Boy regional rightwing power. Most of what they do is undertaken with our approval, or at least acquiescence. The very fact that we have supported their outrages for so long is an accurate reflection of our own "morality."
