The OP must be going through some BJ's while writing this, that's why he was so apologetic that the US supports Israel! I'll wait until he's done with his BJ's and see if he really wants to support AQ, Taliban or Hamas or just want to STFU!
 
i support america's support for progress.

when i see USA support saudi arabia, egypt, iran, syria, and the palestinians over israel, i side with israel.

I'm an American but I'm also a member of western civilization and I will not stand by a government that sucks up to homicidal muslims.

Americans who favor a pro-Muslim foreign policy America are ignorant fucks.

israel would have been better off rejecting US aid and nuking the arabs in 1973, then they wouldn't have to deal with problems we created for them.
 
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.

the UNSC is only as good as the UNGA, which is controlled by the Arab-super majority.

Israel is barred from the UNSC, while terrorist sponsoring states like Lebanon, Syria, and Libya can join.

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

It's not the muslims, it's the arabs (janjaweed).

as part of arab foreign policy it is crucial to deny self-determination to non-arab entities. this including the jews, kurds, and black muslims/christians (dinkas, mostly).

the arab-sudanese government does want to see a christian south, so they've led a genocide against any opponents, including sympathetic arabs.

however, because the arab tribes have a super-majority in the UN, sudan is immune.

in fact, the arab states almost admitted sudan into the human rights council while the civil war was going on (2 million+ killed), if it weren't for USA intervention.

one has to wonder why chomsky, cole, and fickelstein adore the UN so much.
 
Just a general note...I suppose you haven't heard about it. We get a TON of illegal immigrants and refugees from Africa (darfur and other troubled areas) because they consider us the "promised land" - the only country in the area that won't kill them on sight.
Unfortunately they also bring diseases (the bad ones, not silly flu) and some are just here to sell drugs, not much we can do about it if we don't know who is what, so they're all given the basics to survive anyway.
 
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.

stopped reading there.

your professor sounds pretty fucking dumb.
 
The answer is simple: jews are successful and rich and therefore are powerful in the US (nothing to be ashamed of) AND evangelical christians support Israel. This potent combination is why American will support Israel in their ethnic cleansing of the Levant.
 
Personally I tend to favor Israel over the entire Arab world/culture. However, extend that to "over America" and I'd have to say no.

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").

What's funny is libs believe America, as a gov't, is Israels friend. Never have we've been Israels friend. We provide just enough support, with strings, so Israel does not annihilate her hostile neighbors but second tides shift America will support the oil. Proof of this was back in the 80's with a supposedly pro Israel GOP, when Pollard discovered that Syria, Iraq, Libya and Iran were developing weapons of mass destruction with the intention of attacking the State of Israel. Not only were Americans deliberately withholding this vital information from the Israeli government they lowered the boom on him for revealing it. Life. This is why we'll never attack Iran. No fretting antiwar.com.. Israel has to do it but now Americans are in the way (deliberately) until they get nukes.

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.
 
Or to love Israel is to hate the U.S.A.

well, israel has historically been america's #1 ally, mostly because it is compelled to be but also similar histories (fled europe, fought british subjugation, became a democracy, etc..).

israel has contributed more to the USA than all nato allies combined and votes with the US in the UN more than any other ally.

israel is the closest it gets to the USA in the cesspool that is the Middle East...how can you not like it?

i mean look at israel's enemies.

stoning homosexuals, exporting terror, dictatorships...

not much of a competition.

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?

because the United States of America is more like the United States of Israel.

Israel and the Talmudic sect of Judaism that supports it, being the epitome of White Supremacism.

The reason why I support Israel is solely to spite ******* retarded people like the poster above. If you are so stupid as to believe that there is a world wide conspiracy of Jews trying to take over the world, then pretty much everything that person believes in must be completely wrong and the opposite must be true.
 
Support Israel! they have this:

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:

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.''

He's bragged about more recently too, which makes him sound more like an opportunist than an ally to me. As for where our interests diverge from Israel, see General Petraeus' recent testimony to Congress where he listed it first among "root causes of instability or as obstacles to security":

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.
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.

for a genuine history education...
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.

20 to 50 million of them are Christian Zionists and buy the bile that is peddled by their pseudo-Christian churches, "if you want to go to Heaven, you have to support Israel." (that's on tape, from a pastor at one of the largest churches in Rancho Santa Fe, one of the 2 wealthiest communities in San Diego.)

so at their place of worship, these American Christians are told to ignore the matter of whether Christian values are extended to the Palestinians, or whether the Israeli's are practicing Christian values.

got history education ?

Americans are also brainwashed into thinking that making observations about ethnic groups constitutes racism. i would argue that conspiring to deprive people of jobs because of their ethnicity - or killing them because of their ethnicity - is racist.


also, that an observation about race - for example, the fact that 99% of Russian Organized crime involves Jewish people that use their Israeli passports as a get out of jail card ... this is not racist. it is simply an observation. good article about organized crime in Russia,*.pdf format -

insanity.

why is the left so in the tank for homicidal arabs?

political zionism was developed in the early 19th century by herzle, inspired by the dreyfus affair.

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.

jews were expelled from britain, spain, france, germany, russia, and the arab world.

250,000+ jews were murdered in pogroms during the civil war, and 6+ million in the holocaust.

the illusion that israel - a country the size of your fingernail - is at war with the peaceful, innocent marxist and is inciting muslims to detonate their children is a product of billions in petrodollars.

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.

Ah--the base instinct of survival! Perhaps this is why the likes of the Stern Gang and the Irgun used hotel bombings and assasinations against the British, and even offered the olive branch of cooperation (with intent to commit terrorism and sabotage in allied-controlled and Eastern front territory to the detriment of the alliance) to the Nazi leadership during wartime in exchange for help in fulfilling their Zionist dream.

These same terrorist cell operatives and leaders, who have innocent blood on their hands, have had airports named after them in Israel. Some rose to the highest ranks of government. It's a homeland alright.

Please, please draw a parallel to some US leaders with blood on their hands as a rebuke--I know you hate your own country. Release is healthy. It'll help you live just long enough to witness the rapture.

Maybe they should move to Iran, like a lot of Iranian jews have done after tasting the fruit of the "oasis of understanding and democracy in the desert" that is modern-day Israel.

Oh yeah, they must be self-hating jews... :roll;
