I guess that means they will no longer be accepting our $2,000,000,000/yr in aid? Or do they still love our money?
You mean steal land, inflict collective punishment on an entire people, treat their own arab citizens like dogs (ok, thats one thing they have in common) and snub their nose at international law? Ya, maybe they should, apparently that gains you the adoration of the US.

Conjur, I KNOW you're not as thickheaded as you are pretending. I was responding to Mubarak's dumb comments. I KNOW the REASON. I was talking about what HE was saying that the reason IS.
Makes one wonder if is terrorism more or less a threat today than it was on September 12th, 2001.
You're really out there, aren't ya?
You forgot the part of the equation as to why Israel's people are being killed. Israel is illegally occupying the Gaza Strip. Palestinians have been fighting against Israel for years to get them out and have their country back. Israel striking back killing Palestinians is the same as the schoolyard bully beating up kids for striking back after the bully takes their lunch money and throws their books in the trash.
I think in Afghanistan there is less threat of terror. The problem is our adminsitration has created threats of terror in other places, like Iraq and the rest of the middle east! It has just confirmed muslim fears that we are only interest in their oil (because we guarded their oil wells but not their museums), that we want to help Israel annex Palestine, that we are attacking ISlam (because we shut down islamic newspapers when we profess to care about freedom).

:roll:
He didn't mention any of this in his statements. He mentioned that Arabs hate the US because of the murder of Hamas terrorists. Now I know the background behind that as do you. But his statement in the context that he gave it is just stupid. Get it NOW?

JohnGalt, the world has tried to pass many resolution regarding Israel, but guess who blocks'em each time?
Please explain what that fact has to do with anything. The US should be the only one to veto resolutions against Israel because they are the only Jewish country?

yeah well said maddogs wife, hurrraaahhh, hurrraaaahhh! <clap, clap, clap>
I'm saying the UN has tried to pass many resolutions against Israel because many of the countries who vote for the resolutions or sponsor them are Muslim countries. I'm not quite sure, but I think more than half the countries in the world are Islamic. Its like a Muslim crowd trying to lynch the one lone Jewish guy.
Someone has to stand up for the poor guy and its usually either the UK or the US. Everyone else is either afraid to tick them off or have no political gain from it.
maddog, it is not only Muslim countries that have wanted to condemn Israel's actions. It's everyone except the United States. Great Britain does not veto unanimous resolutions, ony the United States does. Moreover, most countries in the world are not muslim. Finally, Israel is not "a poor guy." Personifying countries does not help. Israel is a state based on a religion, a state that does very bad things to human beings. When the world as a whole condemns Israel, the US can use their single veto. It's highly undemocratic and you should not go around thinking it is only muslims that have a problem with many of Israel's actions.
um...Israel is already hated among Arab nation, the question is, why the heck should America get involve in this mess and make more enemy? Why instead of being an honest broker trying to create peace in that region, this Admin have to choose one side and make other side the enemy?
If you really love Israel so much, by all means, move yourself and your family there and help them fight the evil Palestinian. Just don't drag the rest of us into this stupid conflict.
Israel are going to keep the occupied areas on the west bank, the US applauds that...
Sharon is a known terrorist and the US applaud his actions to keep thousands of palestinians in camps while stealing THEIR land?
To me this only means one thing, the US does not give a flying fvck about terrorists, they hate muslims, and that is it, now if i see it this way, how do you think the muslim world sees it?
