I don't, America First - but Israel as a beleaguered and victimized nation, heroically fighting, against all odds, against a bunch of religious nazis intent on world domination, to preserve the beacon of democracy in a sea of dictatorships and outlaw regimes. No brainer whom to support IMO.
Nice troll post btw.
Right. Also a no brainer to ignore the other hundreds of thousands killed in recent years in other strifes around the world, eg various civil/religious conflicts in Africa. But yes, let's make sure we support Israel and ignore everyone else as that is what's favorable politically.
Just like it's favorable to keep bring up abortion and gay rights over and over and over as election issues, while the rest of the civilised world has accepted them and moved on.
I'd support Darfur black Africans being slaughtered by muslim arabs at least as much as Israel but that's not on the table for some cynical reason. I'd support those not quite muslim enough being gunned down in Algeria daily. And so on. But lets be honest here - the All- Israel-The-Time-UN does not bring these issues up so it's not on our minds or the tip of our tongues and sadly becomes a non-issue. What can we do as Americans? We can only deal with what's presented and security council asks us to solve.

Don't be so religiously intolerant the muslims in Darfur have the right to exercise their religious freedom to exterminate the fascist Christians.

I talked to my Constitutional Law professor, and he said that there is a 50% chance that the U.S. will go to war against Iran.
your professor sounds pretty fucking dumb.
Because they don't stand for the values they claim to stand for. "Human rights" at the high levels of the international game is nothing but a smoke screen for collectivism and the erosion of national sovereignty (as does Chomsky, as well as others who claim to "care").one has to wonder why chomsky, cole, and fickelstein adore the UN so much.
I favor Israel over Muslim nations. How you confused that with America is beyond me. Our interests can diverge, but since 9-11 I consider them a strong ally against a common enemy.Why do so many Americans favor Israel over America?
To hate Israel is to hate freedom, justice, and the United States.
Fuck the UN and the USA.
Or to love Israel is to hate the U.S.A.

How could anyone hate their own country so much? Why do these Neo-Republicans like Sarah Palin and Pat Robertson hate and want to destroy the U.S. by putting our young men and women at risk, tax the hell out of the citizenry, destroy our dollar, and risk our security, just so the Israelis can have a home of their own without anyone questioning it?
Sure, blame muslim nations as a whole for what we can't even manage to convict the alleged mastermind for. A perdictable response, as Israel's current Prime Minster pointed out that day:I favor Israel over Muslim nations. How you confused that with America is beyond me. Our interests can diverge, but since 9-11 I consider them a strong ally against a common enemy.
Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, ''It's very good.'' Then he edited himself: ''Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.'' He predicted that the attack would ''strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because we've experienced terror over so many decades, but the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror.''
Israel has been colonizing what little is left of Palestine for decades now on our dime though overwhelming military force we provide them with though our tax dollars, and has been doing so since long before 9/11, and you feel kinship with Israel over 9/11? That's like getting drunk to get rid of a hangover.Insufficient progress toward a comprehensive Middle East peace. The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests in the AOR. Israeli-Palestinian tensions often flare into violence and large-scale armed confrontations. The conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support. The conflict also gives Iran influence in the Arab world through its clients, Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas.
Here is bit of genuine history which blows the "blame the Jews" theory apart. Put simply, Zionism is the baby of corporate fat cats and Dominionist Christians, and there are still far more of them raking in the dollars or hoping to bring Jesus back than there are Jews in the world, let alone Jews in on the scam for cash and/or hoping for a messiah themselves.for a genuine history education...

the idea of establishing a jewish state was predicated on the belief that the jewish people must have a homeland or they might face extinction.
their terrorist sympathizer should LEAVE the USA and go move to a non-zionist, christian/jew-free country.
Maybe Saudi Arabia.
They love leftist enablers like yourself.
you'd make a good saudi slave.
